Thus, Francine drove her car and secretly followed them to the police station.…At the police station.The officer returned Corinne's belongings to her and said, "Kindly check if this wallet and phone are yours. If they are, proceed to check inside to see if you lost anything else."Corinne cooperated by opening her wallet to check and looking at her phone to see if the thief had used her phone. She said, "That's right. These are my wallet and phone. Nothing is missing."The police officer nodded solemnly. "Please sign here, and you can take your belongings with you. Remember to be careful in the future. You won't be so lucky to get it back the next time you lost it!"Corinne listened carefully and smiled politely. "Yes, I'll be careful in the future. Thank you, officer!"Pamela accompanied by her side like a kind, well-mannered old lady. She expressed her gratitude to the officer and complimented them for their effort and hard work.Jeremy's tall, muscular figure stood not to
Francine did not dare to tell them the reason why she came to the police station. She was afraid Jeremy and Pamela would stop her. Therefore, she walked past them and entered the police station to ask the question that was troubling her."Mister officer, I'd like to ask if there is a male and female being detained because they were conducting illegal activity in Holden International Hotel?"The officer looked at her and answered truthfully, "Yes, there is. What's the matter?"Francine requested, "Can I meet the woman who got detained? I think I know her!"It just did not make sense to her. Corinne should be the one who got detained, but how did Corinne go back home safe and sound? Thus, she had to make sure with her own eyes the detained woman was not Corinne. Otherwise, she just could not let it go!However, the police officer shook his head. "Unfortunately, the suspected female lawbreaker ran away during the arrest. My colleagues are still looking for her at this moment."'That
Corinne looked calm as she gave Jeremy a sarcastic smile. "What's wrong? Are you thinking I'm suspicious, too?"The corners of Jeremy's lips quirked upward. "Suspicious of what? Suspecting you'd sell yourself to a lousy man as your graduation present?"Corinne was startled at first, but she regained her senses and rolled her eyes. 'Can't he tell what situation I'm in now? Why does he still have the luxury to tease me? Though, does that mean he's not doubting me?'She ignored Jeremy and looked at the officer. "Sir, what do you need me to do to cooperate with the investigation?"The policeman sternly instructed, "Please follow me.""Corinne…" Pamela grabbed Corinne's arm worriedly.Corinne smiled back at Pamela while feeling sorry. "Sorry, Grandma, but I guess I can't bring you to dinner today."Pamela was shocked. "Corinne, are you really…"Corinne said nothing and followed the officer to the interrogation room at the back.When she walked past Francine, Francine smiled as if s
Francine turned around to point her finger at Corinne. "It's you! It's one of your tricks again! You must've found this woman to take the blame!"Corinne spread her arms innocently. "Francine, are you only going to be satisfied when I'm the escort as you'd hope?"Francine replied unhappily, "What do you mean, as I'd hope? You are the escort!"All of a sudden, a swift smack landed on Francine's cheek, and it made a crisp sound.Pamela panted, having slapped her granddaughter in rage."Are you not finished, Francine!? After the scene you caused at home, here you are in the police station, causing another scene! Corinne is your sister-in-law! Why do you keep on humiliating her like this?!""Grandma, did you just slap me?" The flabbergasted Francine raised a hand to lightly cover her burning cheek. She whimpered, "You never hit me since I was a child, yet you slapped me because of Corinne?"Pamela's heart went soft when she saw tears dropping from her granddaughter's eyes. Neverthel
Richard was stupefied by Francine's sudden switch. "Missus Holden, how could you turn your back on me? You're the reason I got caught!""You have the wrong person! I—I have no idea who you are! Let go of me, and stay away from me!" The disgusted Francine tried to stop Richard from grabbing her clothes.She scolded the officers, "What are you guys waiting for? Bring this criminal in now! Why are you letting him talk nonsense here? Don't you see him scaring me?"After that, Francine quickly walked to the front and tried to pull Pamela away. "Grandma, let's go. There are too many dangerous people here!"Richard fumed as he got dragged away by the police officers. He struggled and shouted, "Missus Holden, you're dumping me after you used me, pretending not to know me?! Fine! Don't blame me for doing this. You forced me into this!"With that, Richard turned to look at the policemen. "Sir, I'd like to make a report. It's her! She's the one who asked me to do it! She's the mastermind!"
The interaction between both Corinne and Jeremy suggested they were in a relationship. It did not look like a sweet and loving relationship, but somehow, people could easily be convinced they were in one.'Did Mister Jeremy save her?' Richard thought with a face of disbelief. He guessed, "Did you manage to move up the ladder from being just his mistress?"Corinne raised her hand proudly and looked at the man beside him. "Mister, do you hear him calling me your mistress? What are you going to do about that?"The way she complained like a little kid was too extremely adorable. Jeremy narrowed his eyes at her while his lips curved up.He raised his head and glared at Richard from a condescending angle. "Who's the mistress? Say it again."Richard shrugged nervously. "Err…her. Is she not?"Tommy approached and said strictly, "Excuse me. Miss Corinne is my employer's legally married wife. The only Missus Holden."What?! Richard got the scare of his life.That meant… Everything he saw
Francine was brought into the interrogation room by the officer for questioning, which lasted more than 20 minutes.When the officer left the room, Tommy went over to ask about the details on behalf of the Holdens. He returned to Jeremy and Pamela to report the information he received."Sir, Ma'am, the police concluded their investigation. Miss Francine colluded with a middle-aged man called Richard Channing to set up Miss Corinne today. The police had found evidence of them contacting each other using their phones. Miss Francine agreed to bring Miss Corinne out of the house to the shopping mall, where they'd later team up to knock out Miss Corinne, bring her to the hotel, and set her up like an escort while setting up a man to assault her."Miss Corinne happened to have lost her wallet and phone, and a woman who wore the same clothing as Miss Corinne found her lost wallet and phone. Thus, Richard Channing got the wrong person. He put a bag over the woman's head, knocked her out, an
Francine was so angry that she did not know how to argue. With gritted teeth, she said, "You're still a disgusting, hideous two-faced woman, acting pure and naive with Jeremy and my grandmother when you plotted so many things behind them!"Corinne smiled. "So I'm a pure woman and a bad one too? I have thousands of different faces. Good people see my good side, and bad people see my bad side. Miss Francine, why don't you think of the things you did before running your mouth at me like this?"This young lady had the face of an angel yet was able to laugh so menacingly like a devil, taking revenge on those who tried to hurt her.A chill crept up Francine's back. "Devil! Y—You're a devil!"Corinne raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's up to you how you treat me if I'm a devil or not. I warned you before, though. I told you to not mess with me, but you refused to listen."At this point, Francine accepted she had lost, yet she did not understand one thing. "So how did you do it? You're the
