My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back (Katherine) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 I’m Innocent

*704

If the Harts and the Grants joined forces to protect Rachel, new evidence might suddenly appear. Or someone could step up and take the blame for her.

If that happened, Rachel would walk away without a scratch.

Katherine lowered her head and rubbed her temples. I just feel like it won’t be that simple.”

“Don’t overthink it,” the other person said. “The kidnappers already admitted Rachel was involved. She can’t get out of this.

“I hope you’re right.”

Lucas sat alone in his car. It was quiet inside. When he looked down, he noticed a piece of candy on the seat.

He had bought it for Ivy. It must have fallen out of the bag.

Lucas picked it up. The colorful wrapper shone in the sunlight. The candy inside was clear and bright.

He held it in his hand, lost in thought.

After a long time, he leaned his head back and slowly closed his eyes. He looked calm, like he was dozing off, but his mind wouldn’t stop replaying everything.

Ivy calling out “Mommy” in panic.

Katherine was risking her life to save Ivy.

Sarah had told him about the matching birthmarks on Katherine and Ivy.

And finally, the paternity test said there was no biological relationship.

Lucas frowned without realizing it.

A light knock came on the car window. Lucas opened his eyes and rolled the window do

Fred stood outside ‘Boss, we found out who saved Ms. Pearce last night. His name is Ma Skeldon. He’s the real owner behind Yarbrough Auction House. He’s also Ms. Pearce’s bo There’s no special relationship between them.

“That’s all?” Lucas asked.

“That’s all

No special relationship? Just a boss and employee?

Impossible.

As a man. Lucas could see the way Marsh looked at Katherine. There was something there.

And Katherine trusted him. Their relationship could not be that simple.

“What about the other matter?” Lucas asked.

“Those men who kidnapped Ivy are repeat offenders. They’ve been involved in child trafficking for years. The police have been trying to catch them.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “So Ivy might not have been a specific target. Maybe she was just unlucky and happened to catch their attention

“Yes, I spoke with the police. Their methods are always the same. They go to neighborhoods. schools, parks, and playgrounds-places where children gather. They pretend to be different kinds of people. Once everyone lets their guard down, they disable the security cameras and take the child. By the time anyone realizes what happened, they’re already gone.”

Lucas frowned. His eyes were filled with doubt

Rachel was an heiress. How could someone like her even know criminals like that? It didn’t

make sense.

“Boss,” Fred asked carefully, “Ms. Hart is still at the police station. Do you want to get her out

“No,” Lucas said calmly. “Let the police keep investigating. And you continue digging.”

Fred nodded, though he still couldn’t read Lucas’s thoughts. He had no idea whether Lucas planned to save Rachel or leave her to face the consequences.

At the Hart Mansion, the lights in the living room were still on.

Ursula paced back and forth. She looked anxious and restless.

Quincy, on the other hand, sat calmly on the couch.

“Quincy, can’t you think of something?” Ursula said, her voice tight. “Rachel has already taken to the police station.

“What’s there to panic about?” Quincy replied evenly. She’s only assisting with the

investigation”

Ursula walked closer and lowered her voice. “You and I both know Rachel did this. Now those men have named her. How can I not be worried

Quincy glanced at her. I have my ways

You have a way to save Rachel? Then why are you doing something now?

Relax,” he said slowly. They only have statements. Without physical evidence, they can’t convict her.”

“That’s not enough!” Ursula snapped. “It’s not jus about avoiding charges. Rachel is going to marry Lucas. She cannot have a single stain on her reputation.”

“I know, Quincy said calmly. “She’s my daughter. Of course I will think everything through

for her.”

A dark and unreadable expression appeared on his face.

At the police station, Rachel sat straight in her chair. She stared at the officers across from

her.

I’ll say it again,” she said firmly. “I don’t know those men. I didn’t do anything. As for why they were using my family ship. I have no idea. We docked the ship there. I’m not standing guard over it every second. There’s a captain in charge. If you want to know what happened on the ship, ask him.”

“We have brought the captain in,” one officer replied. “We’re investigating. But the kidnappe said you ordered them. How do you explain that

Rachel shook her head. “It’s simple. I don’t know them. I don’t know why they’re blaming m You can investigate all you want. I have no grudge against that child. What reason would I have to hurt her?”

The officers questioning her exchanged a look. Just then, another officer walked in. He lean down and whispered something in their ears.

They all looked at Rachel once more. Then the ree officers stepped out together.

Rachel pressed her lips tightly together. She lowered her head and took a deep breath

calm on her face was forced

That evening, Katherine received a phone call from the police. They asked her to come the station.
