Chapter 272
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 272<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s lying. Everyone in the bar saw it. She splashed the sulphuric acid at me.\u201d I explain.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we did ask the crowd and everyone also said that the sulphuric acid bottle was originally in your hands. Furthermore, where you were was at a blind spot and the security cameras didn\u2019t capture the altercation.\u201d The policeman looks at me sternly and with disdain.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m thinking that he must be believing Whitney\u2019s version of what happened. After all, a pitiful looking woman can easily convince strangers.<\/p>\n
At this moment I realize a very severe problem. It is easy to do evil deeds when a person is rich. Whitney must have given money to the bystanders and that is why all the witnesses\u2019 statements are now against me.<\/p>\n
\u201cSulphuric acid is a dangerous item. You must be prosecuted for having it in your possession.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although one must not fear if one is righteous, I start to panic at that moment.<\/p>\n
I turn my head to look for Steven for advice only to see that he is no longer there. I don\u2019t even know where did he go.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Whitney comes out from the interrogation room and looks complacently at me.<\/p>\n
Although Whitney has some psychological issues, she still has clarity of thought. Since she has plans to attack me, she must have her alibi and defense ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to law, we need to detain you for the moment.\u201d The policeman says solemnly and officially.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvil deeds will not go unpunished. You had done so many evil things and this is your retribution.\u201d Whitney isn\u2019t concerned about the presence of the policeman and scoffs at me.<\/p>\n
At this moment, Steven walks from behind Whitney, and beside him is a middle-aged man in uniform. The man looks influential and must be someone of authority.<\/p>\n
True enough, he walks towards the policeman and speaks to him. That policeman looks at me and stutters, \u201cBut\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSay no more, release her.\u201d That middle-aged man says.<\/p>\n
Whitney\u2019s face is full of surprise and is about to say something but eventually swallows her words.<\/p>\n
I know that Steven manages to help me. Regardless of what method, the policeman will no longer detain me at the police station. But I cannot stomach the injustice for Whitney to escape prosecution.<\/p>\n
I pretend not to see him and walk up the stairs but he pulls me aside takes something and slides it onto my finger.<\/p>\n
I look down and realize that the thing Frances slides onto my finger is a ring!<\/p>\n
Is he crazy?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t understand Frances\u2019 intentions and use my strength to flick my hand and the ring falls onto the ground and rolls to Frances\u2019 feet.<\/p>\n
His expression darkens and he picks up the ring and slides it onto my finger again without saying a word.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrances, are you crazy?\u201d I cannot endure it any longer and shout at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you forgotten what you agreed? As long as I divorced Whitney, you will agree to marry me.\u201d Frances says solemnly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-296","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
