Chapter 1023
Lana’s expression shifted, and her heart grew uneasy.
No way.
Her plan was sound, and she had even used cash when she bribed Eve. How could she have miscalculated?
Lana thought that Madeline was bluffing.
She could not help but fan the flames. “Your accomplice has already admitted it, Eveline. There’s no use in arguing.”
Madeline knew then that Lana was the person behind this entire play.
However, she was Eveline Montgomery, not Madeline Crawford. There was no way she would just forgive and forget when someone was trying to frame her.
“You’re right, there’s no use in arguing at all. Which is why I’m calling the police.” Madeline pulled out her phone and made a report in front of everyone.
Still sitting on the floor, Eve’s eyes flashed to Lana before she quickly got up to keep acting. “You can’t call the police! How could you set me up, Eveline? You were the one who said you’d keep me safe even if they found out. How could you—”
Instead of getting angry, Madeline smiled and consoled her. “Oh, silly. Since you’re so adamant that we both worked together to steal that 30 million, then aren’t we technically on the same boat? Of course, I’ll keep you safe.”
“…” Eve was shocked, wondering if she had heard her wrong.
Did Eveline just admit it? That they were working together to steal from the charity funds?
What was she playing at?
Lana did not understand. Instead, she found it strange.
The police arrived at the scene in no time and began to investigate. They brought Madeline into the lounge and began a one-on-one interrogation.
