Chapter 293 Desperate To Return Home
James observed George’s ever–changing expression and stated bluntly, “Since you have no intention of urging the police, I’ll do that for you.”
“I don’t need you to get involved!” George snapped. His agitation nearly tore his wound. He took a sharp breath.
If James intervened, he would surely uncover something from the police.
Even though George wasn’t afraid of James, he didn’t want to further complicate matters.
He was the one who pushed Scarlet, and he was the one who reported to the police. He didn’t anticipate that, despite Linda’s erratic behavior, he would still be under suspicion by the police.
If he had known that Linda was wandering the streets in a deranged state, he wouldn’t have bothered reporting to the police to find her.
In essence, George was now consumed by hatred and regret.
When Joseph noticed that James was about to speak, he halted him. “James, Dad is injured. Let’s discuss Mom’s situation another day.”
James frowned, but complied.
George outwardly sneered, but inwardly felt relieved.
