Chapter 1024
The crowd began to berate her, saying, “How vile must you be to steal from the charity funds? She has to spend at least a few years in jail for this!”
A few years? In jail?
Eve’s heart raced at the words and she asked in disbelief as Madeline walked past, “Did you admit it, Eveline Montgomery?”
Madeline halted to shrug hopelessly at Eve. “You already identified me, didn’t you? What more can I deny?”
“…” Eve was stunned by Madeline’s expression of acceptance.
Staring at Eve’s conflicted expression, Madeline continued, “Although the police did say that they haven’t found any evidence that I was the one who instructed you, so I might not be charged in the end. I’ll be out in a few days, but I can’t say the same for you…”
Madeline paused intentionally as she stared at Eve’s frantic expression meaningfully.
“The police found camera footage of you transferring the funds, so you most definitely would be charged. The transfer is quite the amount, so you might spend at least a decade in jail. Weren’t you the one who claimed that I stole the money with you? Is this the result you wanted?”
“What?” Eve’s complexion paled. If she went to prison, then it was goodbye to whatever future she had!
After Madeline was done speaking, she left with the police nonchalantly.
Eve was terrified. “Stay where you are, Eveline!”
She yelled at Madeline’s retreating figure. Madeline’s steps came to a halt as the corner of her pretty lips lifted slightly.
Lana had a bad feeling.
She did not expect Eve to run up to Madeline the next second. “Are you trying to end my life, Eveline Montgomery? You just want to see me in prison, don’t you? Why are you admitting to something you didn’t do?”
Sh*t!
