Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1024

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!

“What? She was framed?” The crowd was split into fury and suspicion.

Lana then realized that this was Madeline’s f*cking counterattack!

Eve had already taken the bait, the fear of spending ten years in jail urging her to tell everything.

The police stared at Eve with suspicion. “You were the one who claimed that Eveline Montgomery bribed you with 100,000 to transfer the funds. Yet now you’re telling me that was a lie? What’s real and what’s not?”

“Someone did indeed bribe me with 100,000 dollars, officer, but that person isn’t Eveline!” Eve rambled as she raised her hand to point at Lana who was making her escape.

“It’s her! She’s the woman who gave me 100,000 dollars, officer! She was the one who told me to say those things too. I was just a tool. I didn’t know anything else. She used me! Arrest her instead. She’s the one who should be imprisoned!”

Lana’s footsteps came to a sudden halt.

Eve quickly ran toward her and raged with a finger pointed at Lana’s nose. “It’s her, officer! She was the one who gave me money and told me to frame Eveline for stealing the charity funds!”
