Chapter 703
Conrad could feel his stomach twisting as he heard this. This was obviously a trap.
It was all a ploy to set Fia up.
1s Tiger there yet?!”
“He’s almost there! Just five minutes more! Don’t worry, sir. Madam will be alright!” Silas had passed over the
accident scene to the police, and was now speeding toward River Fane too.
“Five minutes…!” Conrad murmured as he hung up and dialed Jason’s number.
Jason, on the other hand, took a glance at the phone and ignored it. He wished he was piloting a plane right now. So
he could zip to River Fane in an instant.
“Ahhh! Help!!”
After being pushed over the bridge, a girl fell straight into the river.
The woman who pushed the girl stood at the edge of the bridge, stunned for a few moments before falling to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtground as though she had lost every bone in her body.
She was in such a daze that she had lost all her energy. She could not even raise her hand. She could not help but
think about that weird scent earlier. She had a hunch that something was not right.
Jason and two other police cars arrived at the scene. He struggled to push the police officers away, not letting them
touch Fia.
“Don’t you touch her! Let her go!”
The usually gentle and polite Prince Charming was now yelling uncontrollably as he forcefully pushed the police
officers away.
“Get lost! Don’t interfere with police matters!”
“If you keep on with this, we’ll have to arrest you too!”
Jason and the police officers saw Fia push someone off the bridge. Still, there was no way he could believe that Fia
would hurt anyone.
This must be a trick! A set up to frame Fia!
“I’ll bail her out! Tell me how much! I’ll pay you!” Jason helped Fia up from the ground as he glared at the police
officers.
“You can’t persecute her before investigating and finding out the truth!”
The police officers stared at Fia, who was standing there in a daze, before whispering to their leader, “Sir, that’s Fia
Lawson. She’s Conrad Maxwell’s wife. Not only that, she knows Director Parker.”
The leader was surprised to hear this. “Officer Thomas?”
“Sir, I am certain! Remember that case where the Mannings got fired? Fia Lawson was involved in it. Not only that,
Director Parker had a hand in it.”
Wilfred Thomas could still remember that case very clearly. After learning his lesson from mistrusting Priscilla,
Wilfred had learned to not get attached to his female colleagues.
Upon hearing what Wilfred said, the police officers hesitated.
The leader ordered his men, “Go down there and rescue the victim.”
Then, he forced up a friendly face and approached Jason. “You were with us earlier. You saw Ms. Lawson push that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmperson. So, we must bring her back for questioning. Please cooperate with us.”
Jason pulled Fia to his back and insisted, “No!”
It was then, the fully drenched woman was pulled out from the river.
She cautiously opened her mouth, “Officers, you have to help me! Me and Ms. Lawson are not enemies. We never
even quarreled. Yet, she suddenly pushed me off the bridge…
“If you hadn’t arrived in time, I would have drowned to death.”
“You liar!” Fia regained her consciousness all a sudden and retorted loudly, “I did not even touch you! I did not!”
“Officers…”
Britney shakily stood behind the police officers, trying to elicit sympathy from them.
Now, even the squad leader’s face turned grim. “Ms. Lawson, we received an anonymous report that
there was a fight on the River Fane Bridge. When we arrived, we saw you push her down the bridge! You’re
suspected of murder. No matter how influential your husband is, we can’t just ignore this!”
“Yeah! This is a society with rules and law. No one can escape the law!”
“Take her away!” the leader ordered coldly.
