Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 202

Willow tilted her head in mock innocence. "Are you sure you don't need to ask me anything else?"

"No, no, not at all." The Chief hastily wiped the sweat beading on his forehead. "You're Mr. Shelby's girlfriend. There is absolutely no reason to believe you'd involve yourself with someone like Derek Creed."

The aura radiating from the CEO was suffocatingly cold. The Chief felt like his heart might give out if the man didn't leave soon.

"Alright then, I'll be going."

Willow clicked her heels over to Jabez's side. "Jabez, I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat."

Yvette, even if you suspect me, what can you actually do? I still walk out of here without a scratch.

Jabez cast a chilling, indifferent glance at the Chief. Upon hearing Willow's voice, the icy tension rolling off him receded slightly.

"Alright."

Twenty minutes earlier, Yvette had received a phone call informing her that Blythe Lovell had attempted to flee but had been apprehended. They needed her at the station to make an identification.

She walked into the precinct lobby.

The man stood near the exit, impeccably dressed in a tailored navy-blue suit that perfectly accentuated his long legs.

A slender, pale arm was hooked possessively through his. Following the arm, Yvette saw Willow, decked out in designer clothing and flawless makeup, looking entirely out of place in the gritty police station.

The man turned his head, and their eyes locked.

Yvette immediately averted her gaze and kept walking straight ahead. "Excuse me, where can I find Blythe Lovell?"

"She's currently in transit. She should arrive at the station in about ten minutes."

"Thank you."

Yvette walked over to a row of chairs as far away from Jabez as possible and sat down to wait quietly.

She could feel his heavy gaze pinned on her.

She chose to ignore it entirely.

Noticing that Jabez couldn't take his eyes off Yvette, Willow subtly tugged at his sleeve.

She pouted playfully. "Jabez, I'm hungry. Can we please go eat now?"

"Wait a minute."

His voice was unreadable.

Hearing his familiar, steady footsteps approaching, Yvette's spine stiffened.
