Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 608

No more would she have to put up with his threats.

A bunch of elderly folks gathered around Lisa, all nodding and saying, "Alright, alright, we’ll back you up."

The police showed up soon after. However, by the time they arrived, the fire had already taken hold. Lisa watched the flames roaring, finally feeling a sense of relief. This fire would erase everything. Whether Ricky's accusations were true or not, whatever dirt he had on her, any evidence of wrongdoing would be gone in the blink of an eye. From this moment on, she could live freely, without anyone hanging anything over her head.

Lisa was quickly taken to the police station, with a few of the elderlies tagging along. They supported Lisa's story, repeating what she had just told them: how Ricky lost it, set the house ablaze, and how Ms. Chloe barely made it out before a gunshot rang out from inside, signaling Ricky's suicide. They spoke as if they'd witnessed the entire ordeal.

The police found the situation puzzling. Ricky, who had taken a hostage in a desperate escape, didn’t hide but instead went back home to end his life. It didn’t quite add up. And then there was the question of why he’d shoot Mrs. Moncada at her wedding. The police launched an investigation. Although Ricky was dead, there were still plenty of unanswered questions.

After giving her statement, Lisa was released. Firstly, in their eyes, she was merely a victim caught in the middle. Secondly, she had reached out to Anthony right after being taken to the station. Anthony came down personally to bail her out and drove her home. For now, the police didn’t suspect her of anything. Lisa wasn’t worried; even if they did look her way, they wouldn’t find a shred of evidence. Plus, she had Claire’s powerful backing now.

Afterward, Anthony had her hop into his car, offering her a ride home. Once they were settled, he finally spoke up, “Lisa, you definitely have guts and brains.”
