Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 A Person Pretending to Sleep Was Impossible to Awaken 

Upon seeing Idris, Moore’s pitiful act intensified. Her tears fell freely as she spoke in a broken voice, I understand that Mom is upset for Yvette and wants to take it out on someone, but Iddy, I truly never thought of hurting Yvette. You know, if it weren’t for my caring about Yvette more than anyone else, I wouldn’t have left you three years ago, nor would I have stood by and watched you marry Yvette. 1 never wanted to ruin your relationship with her. It’s just that I was desperate and had no choice but to ask for your help, Iddy.” 

Her words, both overtly and subtly, seemed to imply that she had given Idris up for me. 

was not foolish; I caught the insinuation 

Now that we had reached this stage, she still maintained her act, which was beyond my expectations. I had thought that once Alex was caught and personally identified her, she could not possibly have the audacity to deny it. 

It seemed I underestimated her. She persisted in her denial, insisting she was framed. The police had no evidence, and they could not do much solely based on Alex’s testimony. 

Idris did not speak except to turn to me and say, “She’s pregnant 

His seemingly random remark was cryptic, yet I understood what he meant. Idris was warning me not to be too harsh with a pregnant woman. 

Initially, I did not want to say too much in front of so many people to avoid public spectacle, but hearing Idris’s words, something in me felt uncomfortably constricted. 

I could not help but scoff. “The ancients truly didn’t lie when they said love is blind, something you exemplify perfectly, Mr. Young.” I did not finish my words, only giving Idris a scornful look. 

Then, turning to Moore, I said, “Your shamelessness exceeds my expectations, Moore. I thought that once Alex was caught and he personally implicated you, you wouldn’t have the audacity to deny it. But I really underestimated you. Indeed, you can deny everything, and the police can’t do anything to you. But do you really think everyone else is as foolish as you, unable to think for themselves when faced with a problem?” 

Moore’s eyes were red with tears, still maintaining her pretentious demeanor. “Yvette, I really didn’t do what you’re accusing me of back then. I don’t know why Alex would frame me like this. He’s trying to drive a wedge between us sisters.” 

I scoffed coldly and said lightly, “You claim Alex framed you. Then let me ask you, how would a desperate criminal like Alex even know you? Why would he falsely accuse you instead of someone else? He specifically insists that it was you. When he abducted me, I never revealed any information about my family to him. How did he know you’re my sister? During the police interrogation, how could he confidently assert that you were the one who instructed him to lure me? Does he possess some sort of divination skills to deduce that I have a sister? You say he’s spouting nonsense, but how come his nonsense perfectly fits your description?” 

The police gave me a so–called resolution with the phrase ‘insufficient evidence to convict“, but the underlying reasons were not hard to figure out. 

I did not speculate about the role Idris played in all this, but it was clear that some in the police department were considerate of him. 

Even if Moore were convicted, given her current pregnant state, the execution of her sentence would 

likely be delayed 

I had been silent, but I was well aware of all these intricacies. However, Moore’s shamelessness and pretense finally pushed me to voice everything out loud. 

Moore turned pale, her hands tightly clenching as she tried to find words to defend herself. 

Idris slightly furrowed his brows but remained silent 

Officer Jackson stood by, seemingly unsure of what to say 

Having said what I wanted, I helped my mother and left the police station.
