Marie wasn’t lucky as a nurse cto inform her that the VIP ward she had not been paid for and she

was required to pay if she wanted to continue living there. If she didn’t, to paid the medical fees before leaving after getting discharged.

She was furious beyond words and felt that the world was against her. At the stime, she wished that she could kill Amanda but knew that any silly mistake now that she has no backer would be the sas inviting trouble.

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Okay. I will be leaving soon.”

She hated everyone and blamed her mother for not being able to keep an eye on her father cause to her, if she did, the company wouldn’t have fallen into her half–sister’s hands. Also, she wondered what had happened as she had previously planned with her parents how to get rid of the woman.

Thinking of all this, Marie decided to go straight hso that she could know everything in detail before planning her next move as she wasn’t one to give up so easily. To her, whatever had happened was just a trial and not something serious.

She hated hailing taxis but now, she didn’t have any other choice as she didn’t drive her car to the hospital and it wasn’t like the past when Damien would send someone to go and pick her up. As for her father, the mere thought of him made her sigh as she knew that she had already lost his favor.

“Mom,” she called out immediately after she arrived home.

“Dear?” her mother asked as she got out of the kitchen.

Since the company was no longer under their nand they didn’t have a lot of money, she had to release sof her workers. Due to not having sufficient house help, Mrs. Lopez had to do some things on her own. Luckily, she was from the countryside before marrying the rich thus she could do a lot of work.

“Mom, where is Dad?” Marie asked after greeting her mother.

company. I understood why he couldn’t cback home. I am sure that he feels guilt for what happened,” Mrs Lopez said making Marie hum in agreement.

Her mother’s words made her mood improve as it seemed that she had not yet lost her father’s father.

Just as they were talking, there was a knock at the door making Mrs Lopez stand up, and walk towards

the door to open to whoever was at the door.

“How may I help you?” Mrs Lopez asked in a polite tone.

“We are looking for Miss Marie Lopez,” a man in a blue uniform said.

“Why are you looking for her? Mrs Lopez asked with a frown on her face.

Although she knew what kind of a woman her daughter was, she just couldn’t believe that it had

reached, the point where the policemen even knocked at their door.

“I am sorry ma’am but can you first tellwhether she is present?” the man said coldly as he was

displeased with how Mrs Lopez was behaving.

She had dealt with many wealthy families thus he knew that if he made a mistake and saw why they were looking for Marie, the possibility for Mrs Lopez to say that her daughter wasn’t present was high and

he couldn’t make such a mistake.

“Miss, you don’t have to be afraid, we just want her to accompany us for squestioning as she is a

witness as she had witnessed something.” a young policewoman said with a fake smile on her face which

seemed genuine.

Hearing the policewoman’s words, Mrs Lopez let out a sigh of relief as she knew that her daughter hac always been a good girl.

“Yes, she is currently here thus you can cin,” Mrs Lopez said with a smile on her face making the policeman stunned as he had not thought of that.

He looked at his colleague as he wondered when the latter started lying.

They walked in and met Marie seated on a couch drinking tea and eating ssnacks as she watched the

arie lifted her head as she wondered who could speak to her mother in that manner in her own hou

e was shocked to see the police she started trembling as she felt that they were in her parents‘

ouse to arrest her. Just as she was about to reject that idea, she heard.

Miss Marie Lopez, you are under arrest for planning Miss Anderson’s manner and at the stime aking illness and waiting for the doctor’s twhile checking on you instead of treating the atients with serious illnesses,” Marie was speechless as she had never heard of been arrested for

oing to the hospital.

Nonetheless, she didn’t say anything to them,

‘Mom, call dad, I don’t want to go with them,” Marie said as she pouted and pretended to be weak.

“Can you stop pretending, we can see through your act as your acting skills are too awful. Now stand up and cwith us peacefully if you don’t want us to take you with us by force. If you want to see anything, you will say it at the police station, and at the stime, you will be able to call your lawyer to defend you,” the policewoman said.

Mrs Lopez was shocked as she just found out that she had been lied to and regretted welcoming her to

her home.

Mom, I don’t want to go! Tell Dad to arrange a lawyer for me! Also, tell Damien that he should come and seeat the station as I have something to say to him if he doesn’t wantto say everything!”
