Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 It Was A Misunderstanding

Fernanda gaped at Gorman, utterly dumbfounded by the sheer audacity of his words. It was as if shame simply

didn’t exist in his world.

Just as Gorman finished speaking, a figure stepped into the room.

“Mr. Green,” the newcomer greeted with practiced ease.

It was Frederic Blake, a lawyer whose reputation in Grester was second to none.

Fernanda’s heart sank.

This man was a legal powerhouse. Against him, her chances of winning were next to none.

At that moment, Fernanda grasped the full reality–Gorman wasn’t just well–connected.

He was ruthless, and he always made sure he had the upper hand.

She couldn’t bring Gorman down–it had likely doomed her to a lifetime of his relentless torment. Peace would never be hers again.

Within seconds, Fernanda steadied herself, forcing down her earlier panic.

She inhaled deeply, avoiding the smug amusement in Gorman’s gaze, and smoothly shifted her approach. “I’m sorry, this was all a misunderstanding. My injury… it was my own carelessness.”

The officers exchanged glances. They all knew exactly who Gorman was.

As the heir to the Green family, he had been stirring up trouble ever since his return.

Now that they finally had a chance to hold him accountable, they weren’t about to let it slip through their

fingers.

“Mrs. Riley, we urge you to cooperate with our investigation and provide an accurate account of tonight’s events,” an officer said firmly.

But Fernanda had already made up her mind–she wasn’t suing Gorman.

“I told you, it was a misunderstanding. What now? Are you trying to force a confession out of me?” Her to was sharp, defiant.

With no solid grounds to proceed against Gorman, the police had no choice but to drop the case. The situation between him and Fernanda remained unresolved.

Soon, Gorman was cleared to leave. Yet, he didn’t move. Instead, he gave his lawyer a subtle nod.

Frederic adjusted his sleeves, his voice composed. “Officer, my client, Mr. Green, was the victim of an unprovoked attack Collin Riley trespassed into his home and assaulted him, causing significant injury He must

be held accountable.”

One of Collin’s men immediately stepped forward. “Gorman started the fight! He had more people on his side. Mr. Riley only defended himself and he’s injured too!”

Frederic remained unfazed. “So you’re confirming that Mr. Riley willingly confronted Mr. Green and engaged in

a physical altercation?”

The subordinate opened his mouth to argue but hesitated, realizing he had walked right into the trap.

Collin, still seated, raised a hand slightly, his voice calm. “We’ll discuss this when my lawyer arrives.”

Gorman scoffed, his smirk laced with condescension. “Collin, be real–who do you think you are? You really believe some no–name lawyer can save you? Frederic is the best lawyer in town. Do yourself a favor–admit you were wrong. Get on your knees and apologize, and maybe I’ll be generous enough to let this slide.”
