Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 266

The officer approached with a courteous tone, “Mr. Billy, you’re currently a suspect in a kidnapping case. Come with us, please.”

Billy had a sinking feeling in his gut, knowing he wasn’t entirely innocent. Yet, when faced with the law, he put up a fierce front. “I’m not going anywhere! You’re spouting nonsense! I’m a good citizen. How could I possibly kidnap someone? You’ve clearly got the wrong guy.”

“The complaint came straight from Alex, who’s waiting at the hospital for you. Right or wrong, you’ll find out once you come with us,” the officer insisted.

Billy wanted to refuse, but he knew he had no choice if he wanted to stay out of deeper trouble.

...

At the precinct.

The police uncovered the bitter feud between Billy and Alex. Alex, pale as a ghost, presented his medical report. Broken ribs, a concussion – his condition was dire.

Billy was livid. “Who saw me hit him? Anyone? Is there any evidence?”

Without proof, how could they accuse him of assaulting Alex?

The officer pulled out a cell phone and showed him a video. There was Billy, on camera, ordering his goons to beat up Alex, even threatening his life.

Once busted, Billy felt a chill in his heart. “Alex, you’ve conspired with others to frame me! This is a setup, a trap you’ve laid for me!”

“Do you think I’d use my own life to set a trap? I’m not an idiot. The feud between you and my father has nothing to do with me. If you come after me again, the cops will be on my side,” Alex retorted.

Billy, seething with anger, felt like a juicy opportunity had just slipped through his fingers.

He still tried to justify himself, “The Townsend family owes me money. Alex’s dad skipped town. It’s only fair – a son pays his father’s debts. What’s that got to do with me?”
