The police officer revealed two documents and said earnestly, “We’ve gotten substantial proof that Mr. Whitman is the murderer responsible for Lana’s death. We’re now going to officially arrest him.”
“Please don’t give us trouble, Mrs. Whitman.”
“Impossible! Jeremy would never kill anyone!” Karen came rushing downstairs. “You guys must have gotten it wrong. There must be something wrong with this evidence!”
“The evidence was approved by forensic physicians. The evidence couldn’t have been fabricated,” the officer said confidently.
“Besides, we’ve received an anonymous document that allowed us to be very sure that Mr. Whitman had a motive to kill. We’ve also grasped the timeline that led up to the murder, and most importantly, the gun left at the scene had Mr. Whitman’s fingerprints on it.”
‘Jeremy’s fingerprints were found on the gun?’
Madeline found it unbelievable.
The officer started to question, “Mrs. Whitman, on the day of Ryan’s birthday, did Mr. Whitman argue with him? At that time, did Mr. Whitman even point a gun at Ryan?”
Being questioned about the incident made Madeline suddenly think of the trap set up by Ryan.
Madeline explained, “My husband is an agent working for Interpol. That’s a licensed gun.”
“All you needed to do is admit favonovel.com has a gun.” The police seemed to be setting Madeline up. “Mrs. Whitman, I’m going to tell you this now. That day, someone took a picture of Jeremy holding that gun and it’s the exact one found at the crime scene.”
“…”
At that moment, Madeline was sure that this was all a set-up by Ryan.
As for Lana’s death, it was highly possible that Ryan was the one who murdered her.
Madeline felt sorry for Jeremy for being Ryan’s scapegoat. She was angrier at Ryan’s underhanded trap, but favonovel.com had no evidence to accuse Ryan of it.
“Mrs. Whitman, please let Mr. Whitman out. We know favonovel.com came back home with you.” The officers continued to pester Madeline.
The reporters on the scene started making noises as well. “Mrs. Whitman, the internet is saying that Mr. Whitman used to be a couple with Lana. Is that true?!”
“Can you please give us some comments on that?!”
“Can you please answer right now?!”
“What’s there to answer?! You all better get lost now!” Karen was infuriated. She chased them off and shielded Madeline from the front.
She was not bothered about favonovel.com prestigious image. Ever since favonovel.com experienced favonovel.com darkest moment in life, favonovel.com actions now were much more down to earth.
The reporters were stunned by Karen’s rage. They were all surprised and took a few steps back.
Apoplectic with rage, Karen pointed to the crowd.
“You bunch of reporters with rotten hearts, you guys want comments, right? I’ll now answer you guys. My son never had anything to do with Lana. It was that shameless lady who was having a one-sided love for Jeremy!
“Do you want to hear some inside news? Now lend me your ears. That lady named Lana deserved to die! She kidnapped and traumatized my granddaughter, causing favonovel.com to become mute. She even tried over and over again to disrupt Jeremy and Madeline’s marriage. This lady really deserved to die!
“I’m done, and all of you have understood, so get lost now. Don’t let me see you guys pestering my daughter-in-law again!”
Karen shielded Madeline. Seeing the reporters still trying to ask Madeline questions, Karen quickly summoned the servants and had the outsiders all chased out of the house.
The policemen in the hall took out a warrant and started searching high and low.
Madeline could not stop them, so favonovel.com said instead, “Please don’t be too loud. My kids are still very young. They’ve just fallen asleep and I don’t want them to wake up in terror.”
“If you don’t want us to make a fuss, then please ask Mr. Whitman to reveal himself. Or else, Mrs. Whitman, don’t blame us—”
Bang! The sound of something dropping to the ground came from the balcony.
