His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 366

"Are you really... speaking in Wendy's favor?" Aron was dumbfounded, as he stared at Autumn in confusion as to what had brought on such a drastic change. "I don't understand you. Wendy was so mean to you when you were a child. Now she did such horrible thing, and yet you are trying to rescue her. Autumn, have you lost you mind?"

"Like it or not, she is my birth mother. I... just want to repay her debts, " Autumn responded in a composed tone but could not manage to conceal the embarrassment which was peaking through her expressions.

Autumn looked at Aron in his eyes and said in an hushed tone, "Besides, she is just a suspect. She hasn't been found guilty yet. Please let me bail her out."

"Sorry, I simply cannot allow that. This is a matter of a life, " Aron refused almost immediately. Before Aron could explain his decision, Jack walked up to him and said, "The warrant has been issued now. We are going to search her house for evidence, will you..."

"Yes, I will, " Aron interrupted before Jack could finish his sentence. It was clear Aron knew what he was about to say. "Autumn, you must be sure that Wendy could not possibly be such a horrible person. How about you join us?" he suggested, as he turned towards Autumn seeking her answer.

Upon looking at Aron's confident expression, Autumn started to doubt what Wendy had said. After much hesitation, she stood up and replied, "Okay, sure I'll come with you."

On the way to Gu family house, Aron remained silent as he maintained a stern expression. Autumn was extremely nervous, and her heart felt like it was pounding outside of her body. Doubts began to seep into her mind as she started to question whether Wendy had told her the truth or not.

They parked the car in front of the gate. Jack rang the bell, but no one answered. Even after waiting for quite a while, no one opened the door. Jack authoritatively broke into the house without thinking once, while Autumn and Aron followed him at a distance. They walked around but failed to find Yvonne. All of a sudden, they were alerted by a sound coming from the back yard.

It almost sounded like someone was digging a pit. All the police officers including Jack rushed towards the source of the sound. They turned on their torches, and the light landed on Yvonne. "It wasn't me. I wasn't me. Dad, please don't be mad at me. It was all mom's idea. I don't want to do this to you. Please don't haunt me, " Yvonne screamed as she trembled with fear, seeing the flashlight she instantly dropped the spade and held her head in her hands.

"Well, there is no need for any further investigation, " Jack said in a confident tone. "Please escort her back to the police station, " he requested his colleagues.

After staring at the panic-stricken Yvonne, Autumn realized that Aron's accusation on Wendy was not false. 'She did kill a man, " she thought to herself in shock.

Autumn was dumbfounded as she watched Yvonne being taken away by the police. 'Why did Wendy do this?

Simon was good to Wendy, provided well for their family and did almost everything she ever asked of him. Then how could she do such a horrendous thing to him?' she wondered in disbelief.

As she stood there almost paralyzed, Aron and the police officers dragged Simon's corpse from the pit. Aron clenched his fists with his eyes brimming with tears as he looked down at Simon's lifeless body.

"Did you see it? This was what Wendy did to her husband, her partner and her soulmate. Autumn, someone who could even think of doing something so horrible does not deserve your compassion and I hope you can remember that, " Aron turned to Autumn as he had broken down emotionally.

"I am so sorry, " Autumn apologized, as she lowed her head in shame.

'I have been here, so I understand the pain of losing a family member. Even after being acquainted with this circumstance, I tried to speak good of Wendy. I must be insane, ' she blamed herself bitterly.

"I was in denial. I hoped that by saying it was not true I could believe that she was not capable of such monstrosity. I... I'm really sorry for your loss and for putting my word for such a woman, " she continued. 'I shouldn't have believed Wendy's words after all that she has done and said through the years. From now on, I will never meddle in matters where she was involved.' She had made up her mind.
