Chapter 124
After she finished her statement, they could take Madeleine
home by following the procedures.
Even so, Roderick’s mood sank to rock bottom, his limbs numb.
It was his fault.
He never should have let Nanette become Kevin’s psychologist
in the first place.
If it weren’t for the professionalism she showed back then, and
the real improvement Kevin made with her, he would have never
let her stay.
He had underestimated that woman.
The interrogation room door opened, and Roderick immediately
stepped forward, his eyes filled with concern.
“Are you okay?”
Madeleine shook her head. She looked fine, but her voice was a
little hoarse.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
It looked like she was still scared.
After all, she was just a young woman. It would be strange if
she wasn’t scared after hitting someone and being brought to
the police station.
Gerry came in from outside with a few bottles of water, quickly
twisting one open and handing it over.
“Sir, Ma’am, have some water.”
“Thanks.”
Madeleine obediently took it and chugged down several gulps.
She hadn’t felt anything just now, but after coming out, she
realized her mouth was dry and her hands and feet were cold.
“Where’s Nanette?”
She glanced around but didn’t see her.
“In the next interrogation room. The lawyer went in. I’ll have him
file a lawsuit. Don’t worry, I won’t let her get away with this.”
Roderick’s eyes darkened. His voice was gentle, but his tone
Chapter 124
held an unquestionable firmness.
A moment later, Nanette also came out of an interrogation
room.
She didn’t look so pathetic anymore; there was even a hint of
smugness on her face.
When her eyes met Madeleine’s, Nanette spoke sharply.
“Madeleine, just wait for the court summons. I’m not just going
to let this go.”
“Fine.”
Madeleine nodded without fear, her words cold, “The same
goes for you, Dr. Clark. You’re not getting away with bullying my
son, either.”
Nanette clicked her tongue and took a few steps closer, her
eyes dancing with excitement as she neared Madeleine.
“Proof?
Without proof, that’s just slander. Besides, everyone saw you hit
me.”
When she finished speaking, she looked up at Roderick, her

eyes filled with adoration and a hint of anger.
“Mr. Livingston, I’ve been with you for two years. Do you really
believe I’d hurt Kevin?”
Roderick didn’t even spare her a glance, his lips pressed tight,
refusing to engage.
Nanette clenched her fists. “I was the one who pulled Kevin out
of that living hell. Go ask him, I’m still the person he trusts
most. How can you suspect me like this? How can you live with
yourself?”
Roderick kept his eyes on the villa, and Madeleine beside him
also averted her gaze.
The couple’s expressions were strikingly similar, treating
Nanette as if she were invisible.
She couldn’t unleash her rage, nor could she swallow it, and it
burned in her chest until her vital organs ached.
After taking several deep breaths, Nanette finally nodded.
“Fine. I never thought my sincere help would get me this in return. I’ll be waiting for you to sue me. Go ahead, sue me. Let’s
see how you do it without any evidence!”

With that, Nanette threw the words at them and stormed out.
Gerry watched her leave, feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.
“Sir, are you just going to let her walk away like that?”
Roderick’s face was grim.
Of course not, he thought. But he had to follow procedure.
Using force now would only lead to worse consequences.
The lawyer stepped forward, saying they only had two days to
gather evidence before Nanette could file an appeal.
“Two days…”
