Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 360

Shreya’s expression became very solemn as soon as they neared the police station.

“There is going to be media present there… you want to come or stay in the car?” Shreya asked looking at Charan. There was no warmth in her statement. Nor was there any indication whether she herself wanted him to come or not.

Charan knew this is a detachment that came when Shreya’s preoccupied with something. And given where they were and what they were here for, he could clearly guess what she was thinking about.

“I will come,” Charan answered not interrupting her or asking her anything else.

Shreya just nodded her head without much change to her mood.

As soon as they reached the police station, she did not get out immediately. But instead waited patiently. But she did not have to wait long before half a dozen guys in a suit surrounded her car and Harshad walked approaching the car leisurely and opened the doors for her. He was slightly surprised seeing Charan in the car but wisely did not comment on it.

“Adam, you can go back. I will ride with Harshad…” Shreya said and alight the car without looking back.

Charan did not mind as he quietly followed her.

The guys in suits created a perimeter around Shreya making sure nobody came near her. But it was not really exaggerated as media people started cl.i.c.k.i.n.g away endlessly as soon as they spotted Shreya. They pushed and pulled to get near enough to ask her questions. But the guys did not let them anywhere near Shreya while Harshad stepped forward and announced, “Please stand back… Ms. Srivastav will take questions once she is done giving her statement to the police.

Media people did not get too excessive either. For one, they were afraid of Shreya, obviously. Who wouldn’t be? After all, she single-handedly took out three big corporations in a matter of a few months. And consequentially, she owned almost most of the business in town and the majority of the business in the country. There were very few people who could actually go against her without any fear.

And secondly, Shreya looked bashed. They did not want to accidentally injure her some more… they wouldn’t be able to afford the consequences.

Shreya, today wore a sleeveless tank top with a high neckline and cropped edges. It was loose and also showed all of her injuries. And her shorts also did nothing to hide her bruises. Her left hand had a sling to keep her casts in place.

Her eyes were frowned looking serious and stern. Her whole body excluded a ‘don’t get near me if you know better’ kind of an aura.

So, once they heard Harshad, they all took a step back obediently and stopped shouting questions while the photos kept cl.i.c.k.i.n.g endlessly.

Charan stepped forward and silently took her hands in his… more than the photographers, he did not like the cold face Shreya wore… she eluded a reclusive feeling as if she was a sole entity on her own… several feet above from everyone else in the world.

Even when he walked just behind her, she seemed unreachable. It was not the first he had seen her like this… but like every other time, it still bugged the hell out of time.

Shreya’s blinked surprised and confused when felt warmth on her uninjured hands and looked up. She was met with a smiling Charan giving her a gentle look as if comforting her without words.

Shreya naturally smiled back without holding back. She even gave him a small smile back reassuring him.

This did not escape the eyes of the crowd around. There was dead silence for one split second.

You should know, Shreya was the famous heartbroken princess in the circle… Who did not know she had been battling depression since her divorce from her ex-husband? Even when she claimed she was not depressed, nobody believed her.

And except for her staff, there was not a single male around her from the time she came back to being in the limelight. So, it was not a wonder they will be perplexed seeing this scene… somehow, just the two eluded a harmonious scene in spite of the chaos all around. Even when they took pictures, they did not dare publish them or ask questions about them.

Before any of the media people can react, Shreya along with Charan and Harshad had already entered the station while the bodyguards stopped them at the doors.

Half an hour later, they were sitting in a well lite conference room.

Shreya is a witness and not an accused. Moreover, she is the victim. So, nobody dared treat her lightly.

So far, all the questions were very generic… Shreya answered honestly… including the part of Zeenath being her driver, of course.

“Why did you shoot them in the head, Ms. Srivastav? You could have simply disarmed them and tied them up?” The inspector asked nonchalantly.

“Tied them up with what? Do you see this?” Shreya gestured her injured hands and continued, “You want me to spare a murderer’s life at the risk of my own? Especially, the very people who were trying to murder me? They were 6 big guys and I was a single wounded girl!! If I hadn’t caught them off guard, you will not be investigating an accident but a murder case!” Shreya answered with a straight face…

The inspector couldn’t help blush slightly embarrassed. Shreya’s logic hit the nail right on spot.

“I was just asked for the sake of it… I was not trying to suggest or accuse you. Sorry, ma’am. You can go now!! That is all…”

They did not even bother asking her about the bomb that went off in her office.

Shreya walked out of the station without any hitches.

As soon as she walked out of the station, she was once again surrounded by media where she patiently answered all their questions. She was very diligent and honest in her reply.

But before going away, she did say one sentence…
