Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 96

Jacquiline’s parents entrust his family to take care of Jacquiline when they left, a huge responsibility. Me and Janet failed miserably, Edward thinks.

But the thought of Alice, whom is getting more distant as time goes by, makes him struggle even more.

He won’t be back anytime soon. Alice will definitely not miss him.

What Edward is thinking is written all over his face and Janet, can easily read it: he is thinking of Alice. Suppressing her own emotions, with her goal in mind, says, "That woman, the one who is been here for Jacquiline's hospitalization must also hope that Jacquiline can get better."

Hit the snake seven inches below its head, Alice is Edward's weakness. Thinking of her sighing and frowning for Jacquiline, Edward agrees. Since he is powerless, he will do his best to take care of Jacquiline to make Alice happy.

The next day, Edward leaves with Jacquiline. This is the only thing he can do for Alice. He is very thoughtful.

As soon as they have left, Janet puts all her efforts on finding evidence.

Three days later.

"Miss Roberts, you have been charged with hit and run, please follow us. "The police take Alice straight from her own clinic.

"Officer, I don't understand what is going on?" asks Alice after a moment of panic.

Getting questioned by the police is bad already, let alone being charged for a serious crime. She hasn't driven for a month. How could that happen? She wonders.

"Three days ago a car crash occurred in front of a coffee shop and surveillance cameras filmed the scene. After further investigation we found physical evidence of your presence on the spot. Please cooperate with us."

Three days ago, Jacquiline's car crash. It cannot be, she is being accused of hit and run on Jacquiline. How could it be?

"Officer, there must be a mistake. Jacquiline and I are very close friends. I am not the one who caused the accident."

"Then you must have an alibi."

Alice is astounded. She did not see it coming. She was alone. No one could vouch for her. The bag was indeed hers, and the car too.

Luckily she knows for sure that she didn't leave the house that day, or else she seriously thought she caused Jacquiline's accident.

A conspiracy yet again, same as five years ago when Edward publicly confessed his love for her and broke off the engagement. The same powerless feeling arises, disgusting her to the bones.

No matter how many times she faces this, she will always be frightened.

However, this time someone is targeting her and not her family, her frail elderly mother and her two children seem to be safe for now.

Alice actually feels relieved. Since Joanna threatened her to kill her mother last time, she has been worried to death all the time. She is relaxed, weirdly relaxed. It could have been worse, right?

The mind goes to her lovely kids. Alice calls John Blake before going with the police, asking him to take care of the children without giving many information. She does not want him to worry too much.
