Luke suddenly remembered that it was Gilbert who called him. “We didn’t say that. Ms. Bode said it. We can all testify.”

So many people were saying this. Gilbert’s heart sank. He remembered Cathy as kind, though she had a temper. How could she do such a thing? “I’m only giving you one chance. If you lie, I’ll not only fire you, but I’ll blacklist you from the industry.”

Luke was frantic. “I’ve said it many times. I’m not lying! We have no reason to lie. We can’t afford to offend any of you.”

Luke’s sister weakly spoke up. “Ms. Bode said she’d guarantee we wouldn’t be fired. You can’t go back on your word!”

Even Luke’s timid sister said so.

Could it really be Cathy?

No. Gilbert wouldn’t believe it without Cathy’s own answer.

In the Bode family, he might not trust his mother, but he would never doubt Cathy.

Even terrified, Cathy never considered running away.

“I’ll ask her myself.”

Gilbert hung up and found countless missed calls on his phone. He had put it on silent mode earlier to check Sherry’s medication.

Why was the calls from the police? Why were they calling him?

“I advise you to call back. After all, I called the police to arrest her.”

Gilbert’s hand trembled. “What did you say?”

“I said, I called the police to arrest her. I suspect she pushed me intentionally so I would fall onto the table. I suspect she wanted to kill me.”

“How could you do this? How could you do this? You’re her sister-in-law! How could she possibly want to kill you?” Gilbert trembled with rage, just like Sherry had been.

“You two used to be so close. Even without me, you shouldn’t have sent her to the police station! Don’t you know she’s timid? Even if she’s in a solitary cell, it’s still a small, dark room. How could she bear it? How could you be so heartless?”

Sherry hit Teresa and Wendy because there was clear hostility between them.

But that was Cathy.

Cathy had never been hostile to her.

Chapter 84

Cathy wasn’t the one who took her family away, nor was she a homewrecker who was framed.

Why did Sherry do this?

“Heartless? Weren’t you heartless when you called the police and had me arrested?” Sherry looked at Gilbert expressionlessly.

She was afraid back then.

Anyone would be afraid.

Whether it was her reputation or the mental and physical torment, had Gilbert ever considered her?

Gilbert truly hadn’t considered it. His first reaction upon hearing this was angry. “So you’re getting revenge?”

He seemed to be knowing Sherry for the first time.

Sherry finally understood why she was so angry. Gilbert, to exonerate the person he wanted to protect, was willing to fabricate all sorts of charges against her!

Her tone was ruthless. “Please use your rusty brain. If I were retaliating, would she have been arrested? Do you think the police can arrest people arbitrarily without reason?”

Gilbert said, word by word, “I don’t believe it! Cathy would never do anything criminal. Unless someone set a trap for her!”

Everyone in the world was innocent, except Sherry, who was a bad person.

A person lying unconscious in a hospital bed for days was a bad person.

And everyone else who got away with it was a good person.

After saying that, Gilbert picked Sherry up in his arms.

“Put me down!” Sherry was dizzy with hunger, and being picked up only made her feel lightheaded. “I need to eat!”

Gilbert tightened his grip on Sherry. “Cathy’s still at the police station. How could you still think of eating? Do you know what kind of place that is? You…”

“How could I not know? Have you got dementia or amnesia?”

For the first time, Gilbert regretted sending Sherry to jail. “Cathy is different from you.”

Cathy had always been very timid. Last time, thanks to his connections, Sherry didn’t get interrogated.

But Sherry got Cathy arrested. How could that be the same? Didn’t she have any common sense?
