Chapter 188 All Blame Shifted Onto Her

Chase had just come downstairs when Katrina hurried over to stop him.

“Chase, where are you heading off to?”

“To the office.” He barely spared her a glance, clearly unwilling to talk to her.

“Such huge trouble has hit our family, how can you still focus on work?” Katrina said anxiously

“Huge trouble? You mean the abduction plot you planned against Nina?”

“I didn’t-”

“I’ve heard enough of your lies. The police might choose to believe you had nothing to do with it, but I never will. Because of you Nina now sees me in a bad light. If this rift keeps growing between Nina and me, I will never let you get away with it”

Katrina’s face turned utterly pale after hearing his words. She could not believe she had ended up becoming the barrier standing between Chase and Nina.

“I swear I had no part in that scheme! My dad only did it because he thought you treated me poorly and broke my heart, so wanted to get back at you for me. Every word I said is the truth.”

“Save your excuses.” Chase let out a cold chuckle. “I’ve treated you well all these years, and your days as Mrs. Mercer are over Once the police confirm your involvement in this case, you will pay the price for everything”

“Chase, how could you say that?”

A sudden knock came at the front door right then.

Katrina’s heart sank with unease. Chase walked over and opened the door, finding two police officers standing outside showed their official badges straight away.

“We’re law enforcement officers. Is Katrina Sawyer home? She is suspected of being involved in last night’s abduction case and needs to come with us for questioning.”

Katrina forced a stiff smile, trying to defend herself.

“Officers, this must be some misunderstanding. I had absolutely nothing to do with that incident. I already explained ever last night…”

“David Sawyer is your father, correct? He has fully confessed that you were the one who instigated the whole thing. Please come with us.”

Katrina never expected her father to turn her in. The fake smile on her face faded in an instant: Before she could even react, the officers slipped handcuffs firmly around her wrists.

“What are you doing! I’m innocent! This is all a frame-up! David is lying about me! Chase, please

She looked toward Chase in panic, yet his eyes remained cold and emotionless. He did not show the slightest intentions of stepp forward to help her

“Chase, I’m really being wh

wronged!”

No matter how desperately she shouted and begged, Chase never looked back. He pulled out his phone and spoke to his newly appointed assistant.

“Arrange a press conference right away. I’m going to announce my plan to file for divorce.”

The assistant grew flustered instantly.

“Sir, it might not be wise to make such an announcement at this moment. Everyone saw how affectionate you two were just three days ago. Sudden divorce news will surely spark wild rumors.”

But Chase could no longer wait. He had finally caught hold of solid evidence of her wrongdoings, and he was determined to seize this perfect chance to end their marriage for good.

Word spread fast among the public.

“Did you hear? Mrs. Mercer just got taken away by the police. Is that really true?”

“It’s one hundred percent true. I have contacts inside the police station who confirmed it.”

“They looked so loving just days ago. How did things turn out like this?”

“Word has it that Mr. Mercer was seeing other women behind her back. Enraged by this, she egged her own father on to kidnap and harm that young lady.”

Over at the Grey Group office, several staff members chatted casually about the gossip. Nina frowned slightly upon hearing all this talk.

She saw right through Chase’s scheme. He was eager to push all the blame onto Katrina while she was tangled up in the abduction scandal. This way, all public criticism would fall on Katrina alone, and he would easily paint himself as the poor wronged party. His calculations were truly sharp and self-serving.

Her phone buzzed suddenly. Nina glanced down and spotted a text message sent from an unfamiliar number. She had already blocked Chase’s original contact, so he must have grown frantic and resorted to using a new number to reach her.
