Chapter 32 Accomplice
At that moment, the police station became unusually quiet as it all eyes were on us
The young policewoman who had spoken to me at time had just returned from her patrol. When she saw us, she quickly pulled another officer aside and whispered to him
In cases like this involving family disputes, the police could only mediate at best. With Leonard’s backing, as long as Lily didn’t commit a serious crime, she would get away with it. However, wasn’t going to let it go. She had the nerve to fatherself right in front of me, and on top of that Leonard still refused to divorce me
Nevertheless, the others were unaware of the situations and looked over curiously.
Emma scoffed coldly. “Eva, he’s just a husband in name. It’s disgusting that he’s allowed his mistress into the house. What a scumbag!”
I wasn’t sure what was happening that day, but the police station was usually crowded. I lowered my head, pretending to wipe away nonexistent tears.
At that point, a few of the women sitting nearby couldn’t hold back.
“Wow, she’s so young and stealing someone’s husband? That’s shameless ”
“She’s probably after monry–Just look at how plain the wide looks compared to the mistress, who is all dressed up.”
“You can tell just by leaking at the man’s face that he’s heartless and untrustworthy. He’s no good. What a despicable pair!!
The women were incredibly formidable, especially when dealing with injustices like this. It felt like almost everyone was on my side.
Leonard’s face looked extremely unpleasant as he stared at me. Meanwhile, Lily couldn’t stand the insults and immediately burst into tears.
She exclaimed, “Mistress? The one who isn’t loved is the real mistress! You don’t know anything about it! Theynever had feelings for each other. She’s the one clinging to my boyfriend!”
The more she talked Like that, the more people despised her. Finally, the police had no choice but to usher all of us into the office
“This matter is considered a dispute and hasn’t resulted in any property damage, so=”
“Officer, she broke my vase. It’s a 19th–century import worth several thousand dollars. That should be enough to file a case,” I said, cutting in.
I looked down, Sidling with my fingers, and felt a sudden urge to stand my ground today. The officer was caught off guard by my response and was momentarily speechless.
“What are you so actopant about? Everything in the house was bought with Leo’s money, Lily said.
“What have you contributed? Can you even afford any of it?” she continued to act arrogantly, feeling secure because Leonard liked her
[looked up at her, feeling helpless, and said, “Sorry, but even if I didn’team a penny, it’s still marital property. A mistress has no right to take it.
“Besides, you took my jewelry. Even if Leonard and 1 get divorced, the jewelry should still belong to me, right?”
looked at the officer again, and he nodded in response.
“Uly, the jewelry you took is worth at least several hundred thousand dollars. Isn’t that enough to be considered serious that?
After a moment, he smiled and said, “Eva, I knew it. You only care about money.
Inodded silently, acknowledging his words. However, Emma couldn’t take it anymore. She stood up, pointing at Leonard.
“How dare you bring up the past? Do you even know what really happened back then?”
“Emma, stop. “Isaid quickly, pulling her back to her seat and shaking my head gently “It’s just the way it’s. There’s nothing more to say,”
She seemed eager to say more but ohimately fell silent. I’d rather Leonard never knew. Now that things had reached this point between us, he didn’t need to learn about the past
Back then, left you for a rich kid. What more do you want to know?” I replied, looking at him with a blank expression and unwilling to explain further.
