Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 203

"What on earth happened to you?"

Blythe looked at her like she was a lifeline. "Willow, what are you doing here?"

"The police said I might be connected to some drugging incident, so I had to come down and give a statement." She paused, acting as if a horrific realization had just struck her, and covered her mouth with a gasp as she looked at Yvette.

"Ms. Yeats, were you..."

She left the sentence hanging. Everyone present was an adult; the implication was glaringly obvious.

Jabez had walked over at some point. Hearing the unfinished question, his eyes darkened into a dangerous abyss.

"You must be deeply disappointed that Creed didn't get his way," Yvette scoffed.

She whipped her head back to glare coldly at Blythe. "Blythe Lovell, I'm asking you again: why did you collude with that man to ruin me?"

"Because I need money, obviously."

She put on a mask of total indifference.

"Did Willow put you up to this?" Yvette's nails dug into her own palms.

"No. Willow had absolutely nothing to do with it," Blythe denied flatly.

The person who had called her that day had been a middle-aged man. It couldn't possibly have been Willow.

"Ms. Yeats, we need to take her in for questioning now. We'll contact you as soon as we have any updates," the officer gently reminded her.

"I'll leave the rest in your hands, then."

Yvette turned on her heel and walked out of the precinct.

The officers escorted Blythe into an interrogation room.

Jabez stared at Yvette's retreating back for a long moment before finally speaking. "Let's go."

Willow lowered her eyes, masking her residual panic. "Okay."

A younger police officer stepped forward, intending to stop Jabez, but the Chief immediately clamped a hand over the rookie's mouth.

Once he was certain Jabez was well out of earshot, the Chief finally let go, looking absolutely horrified. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Mr. Shelby is also a suspect. The text message Ms. Yeats received was sent from his phone. He needs to be brought in for questioning."
