The moment Stella and Jordan entered, they heard Anna crying her heart out, her face buried against Emily's body. Monroe was trying to comfort her, but Anna just kept crying.
Anna said, "Emily, it's all my fault. If I had been faster when you called for help, I could have gotten there in time. You wouldn't have died like this.
"Why? Why did you have to die so tragically? You were my only friend in this world. What am I supposed to do now without you? Emily, I'm so sad."
Stella's hands were already balled into fists.
Anna's tears fell in a steady stream, and anyone watching would be touched by the bond between the two girls. But Stella just felt that every word Anna said was fake; every bit of her performance was an act.
"Emily, now that you're gone, what am I supposed to do? My family's going through such a huge crisis right now. Without you, I really can't hold on. Emily," Anna continued.
Monroe comforted her. "What's done is done, Anna. Your health has never been good, so don't get this upset. Emily wouldn't want to see you like this."
Stella locked her eyes on Anna. "Anna, would you mind telling me exactly where you were and what you were doing at this time yesterday?"
That brought Anna's tears to an abrupt halt. She stared at Stella, tear tracks still on her cheeks.
Monroe was displeased, pulling Anna tightly into his arms, protectively holding her. "Stella, what are you trying to say? After all, she's your twin sister. Are you actually suspecting your own sister?
"Besides, you're not a cop. Why are you interrogating her like this?"
"I'm talking to her. Who are you to butt in?" Stella shot back.
Stella's presence was so overpowering that it made Monroe flinch.
Anna quickly stepped in. "Monroe, don't argue with Stella. I get how she feels. She was really close to Emily. After what happened, it's only natural for her to be suspicious of everyone. It's fine; I'll talk to her. Stella won't blame me for it."
Monroe still looked uneasy. "You were close to Emily too, but you're not acting like she is."
Anna reached out and gently reassured Monroe. And then she stood up, walked right over to Stella, looked at her and then at the cops.
"I know you guys are going to question me, and that's fine. I'll tell you everything. I want to catch whoever killed Emily as soon as possible. Officers, let's get started with the statement," Anna said.
The officers glanced at Stella, but she said nothing.
The room suddenly went quiet. Emily's body couldn't be left there any longer, so it was taken away.
Anna sat down and told them everything that had happened. "I was at home at that time. Monroe knows where I live. If you don't believe me, you can ask around at my place, or check the security cameras. There's plenty of footage.
"Around 9:55 yesterday morning, I got a call from Emily. I remember the time so clearly because I'd scheduled a phone reminder for 10 a.m. to collect reward coins from a short video app event.
"I was just bored, scrolling through my phone, when Emily suddenly called. I picked up right away, and she was freaking out, yelling, 'Anna, hurry, help me. Please, help me.'
"I started panicking too. I had no idea where she was, so I kept asking her as I rushed out the door, but Emily just couldn't make it clear.
"And then, all of a sudden, the call cut off. I was so scared that I immediately called Monroe. Monroe, you remember that, right?"
Max nodded. "Yeah, I remember. I've got the call log on my phone."
Anna said, "Emily, it's all my fault. If I had been faster when you called for help, I could have gotten there in time. You wouldn't have died like this.
