Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Carefree

Ellen’s voice on the phone was practically breaking. “Ada, where are you? Can you come to the police station?”

She continued, “Ms. Olsen has been taken away by the police. They say she’s a major suspect, reported by her previous

company.

“A lot of people saw it happen. What do we do? Everyone’s saying she’s going to be fired.”

I was shocked. Despite feeling dizzy and weak, I stumbled into a taxi.

By the time I got to the police station, I felt a little better, though my head was still heavy and spinning.

Dorian spotted me right away and came over to support me. “You went to the hospital?”

I nodded, not hiding anything.

Dorian casually picked a strand of hair off my shoulder. I knew I was losing hair again. I couldn’t hide it for long.

Dorian threw the strand into a nearby trash can and helped me sit down.

He said, “Don’t worry. Casey will be fine. Her old company is stirring things up, but they don’t have enough evidence.”

I asked, “It’s about that bidding project, right?”

I had a guess, and when I saw Dorian nod, I finally let out a breath.

Back when Casey left, I had made sure her previous company issued a statement clearing her of responsibility, signed and stamped by upper management.

When we saw Casey’s former boss and his brother–in–law, both looked furious.

“It’s all because she resigned! That’s why the project couldn’t move forward, and now there’s been a major accident!”

“The project design has issues now. The compensation will be in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Of course she should be responsible!”

They sounded so righteous, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing me sitting nearby, the boss scowled. “This is a country ruled by law. Casey has to pay! If she doesn’t pay, she’ll go to jail. Either way, she has to be held accountable.”

Casey was still inside being questioned. I stood up and pulled out the document I had brought.

I had kept it in my bag this whole time. With everything that had happened, I’d forgotten to hand it over.

I said, “Casey was terminated, not resigned. She went through labor arbitration and was compensated according to the N+ 1 policy. The labor bureau has records of this.”

I added, “And here’s a statement signed by her manager. It confirms that from the day she left, she no longer had any responsibility for company projects and wasn’t authorized to receive any further payments.”

Just as I was about to hand the document to the police, the two men suddenly lunged at me, trying to snatch it away.

I instinctively turned away, but still got shoved hard.

Already dizzy, I stumbled forward and was about to fall.

Luckily, Dorian reacted quickly and caught me. The police restrained the two men.

“Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?” he asked, clearly worried.

I shook my head. I couldn’t leave, not until this was resolved.

Dorian said, “The side effects from chemo are too much. Maybe you should…”

“What are you doing?” Jude’s angry voice cut through, and Dorian didn’t let go of me.

I leaned weakly against him. I really couldn’t stand on my own.

“Ada!” Jude strode over, but Vivian grabbed his arm.

She said, “Jude, this is the police station. Don’t get mad.”

She looked at me with a knowing smile. “Mr. Huxley, you’re really nice to Ada. Holding her like that? Don’t you care about your image?”

Dorian ignored her completely and focused only on me. “Can you still hold on?”

I nodded.

Jude seemed to notice something was off with me and pulled a candy from his pocket.

He said, “You should always carry sweets if you’re hypoglycemic.”

Dorian was about to stop him, but I quickly took the candy and unwrapped it, popping it into my mouth.

It would be better if they all just thought I was hypoglycemic.

I saw Jude smile slightly, and his mood seemed to lift.

When the Carson Group’s lawyer arrived, Dorian’s lawyer came too. Jude, frowned at us.

He said, “Casey is a Carson Group employee. Of course we’ll use our own lawyer.”
