Chapter 604
Rosalie didn’t bother to watch Fiona’s performance. Fiona’s words were enough for Rosalie to
understand that Lucas was framed by Fiona.
Rosalie didn’t understand why Fiona framed Lucas in such a matter. They had no connection
whatsoever.
At this moment, a police officer said to Rosalie, “You must be Lucas’ representativewyer. You can
go in and talk with him now, but you only have half an hour.”
“Okay!” Rosalie replied quickly. Just as she was about to walk forward, a hand suddenly grabbed
her wrist from behind her and asked, “Are you Lucas’ representativewyer?”
Rosalie turned around and saw Calvin’s face. There was a sh of surprise on her face as she
didn’t expect Calvin to leave the hospital ande to the police station.
“Why did
you leave the hospital? Did the doctor give you permission to be here?” she inquired. Despite the
fact that the bandages on his head and body had been removed smoothly yesterday, in all honesty,
he shouldn’t have been discharged from the hospital for at least a few more days.
“Are you really going to be Lucas’ representativewyer?” Calvin didn’t answer her question but
asked her instead. “He is my friend, and I believe he’s innocent,” Rosalie said.
Fiona immediately interjected from the side. “Are you saying that I’ve wronged Lucas? He is a
monster! If the passer-by were to arriveter, he might have truly seeded in his heinous deed.
Rosalie, just because he’s your friend, doesn’t mean it’s impossible for him tomit such a
despicable act. Why do you ce so much trust in him?”
“That’s because I know sometimes the evidence doesn’t necessarily reflect the truth!” Rosalie
responded firmly.
However, her affirmative response caused Calvin to furrow his brow. At that moment, the police
officer urged Rosalie, “Please, let’s not waste any more time.”
“Okay! Coming now!” Rosalie answered, pulled her hand out of Calvin’s hand, and quickly entered
the interrogation room Calvin stared at Rosalie’s back until the interrogation room door was closed.
Then he lowered his head and looked at his hand that had just held her, lost in thought.
Fiona’s voice filled his ears. “I can’t believe Rosalie would choose to believe Lucas over me. Why
would I falsely use someone of sexually assaulting me? Does she think I have no dignity? How
could Rosalie behave this way?”
Fiona kept sobbing and then raised her hand to hold Calvin’s arm. “Calvin, you will believe me and
help me to seek justice, right?”
Calvin turned around and looked at Fiona, who was crying piteously in front of him. He said in a
deep voice, “If you are really wronged or hurt, I will definitely help you get the justice you deserve.”
Fiona sniffed. “I… I knew you would protect me. You are still the same Cal when we were young.”
Calvin pursed his thin lips and said, his gaze pensive. “I told you not to call me ‘Cal’ anymore. It was
just a childhood
nickname.”
It was as though an instinctive aversion surged within him when he was addressed by that name.
He didn’t want to hear the woman in front of him call him “Cal,” as if it might shatter something
precious to him.
Fiona’s face momentarily disyed embarrassment, but she swiftly tried to conceal it. “All right…
Calvin, I’ll use Calvin from now on. Thank you, Calvin. Thank you for keeping your childhood
promise to protect me.”
She deliberately mentioned their childhood time many times in an effort to ensure his support on
this matter in any situation.
Rosalie entered the interrogation room. The police had finished their interrogation, and Lucas
appeared visibly distressed at this moment. He seemed to be somewhat at a loss.
As soon as he saw Rosalieing in, he panicked and said, “Rosalie, I… I really didn’t do that kind
of thing. I don’t know why that woman deliberately set me up like this!”
Lucas was clearly bewildered at that moment. After all, he hadn’t been prepared for such a sudden
turn of events.
Tell me what happened slowly. Don’t panic! I’m your representativewyer now to handle your case.
If youter find awyer you’re morefortable with, you can always make that change.” Rosalie
comforted him.
Lucas gradually calmed down and said, “Rosalie, thank you!”
Within the span of half an hour, Rosalie learned about the events of that day from Lucas. He was
helping to get the report when Fiona appeared beside him. She said she had sprained her foot and
asked him to help her go to the car in the open parking lot of the hospital.
Seeing Fiona struggling with numerous items in her hands and appearing distressed, Lucas chose
to assist her. He helped Fiona carry the heavy objects to the parking lot.
Then, Fiona requested Lucas’ help to ce the items in the back seat of the car. She mentioned
that it was too dark to see clearly and asked Lucas to turn on the shlight feature on his phone to
illuminate the surroundings. Without suspicion, Lucas unquestionably got into the car.
Little did Lucas know that Fiona would promptly shut the car door and then stage a fabricated scene
of an attempted sexual assault.
The witnesses at that time were individuals who hade to collect their cars and the security
guards in the parking lot. There were five people in total. They all saw Fiona exit the vehicle with a
frightened expression while covering her torn
clothes.
Half an hour passed quickly. After hearing what Lucas said, Rosalie frowned unconsciously.
Considering the existing evidence, the situation appeared grim for Lucas. This suggested that Fiona
might have been nning the setup for quite some time. It seemed premeditated rather than a
spontaneous act.
It was just that she couldn’t fathom why Fiona would do something like this.

Rosalie couldn’t understand it!
“Rosalie, I… I was told by the police that I would be detained. If I am subsequently found guilty, I
could face a prison sentence of at least one to two years. I…” Lucas wore a visibly fearful
expression.
Rosalie fully grasped this fear. She had experienced the same anxiety herself after being detained
because of the car ident. When she realized that all the evidence was against her, she felt the
same overwhelming fear.
“Don’t panic. I will help you, definitely!” Rosalie said in an affirmative tone.
Looking at her firm expression, Lucas’ fear gradually faded away “Rosalie, thank you!” Lucas was
very grateful.
When Rosalie came out of the interrogation room, Calvin and Fiona were still there.
Calvin fixed his eyes on Rosalie and asked, “Are you still going to help Lucas?”
“He’s my friend. Besides, I believe he is innocent,” Rosalie said.
