Chapter 485 I Didn’t Kill Him!


    At that precise moment, the door beside her opened. The next second, the crowd rushed in, bringing in


    the fresh air.


    Anna sat numbly on the floor, unable to process what had just urred. People standing outside the


    door were also taken aback and shocked. They had just witnessed the crime scene in their boss’s


    office.


    The room appeared in disarray, with debris scattered all over the floor. Holding a blood-soaked dagger


    in her right hand, Anna sat by the door, and a many beside her. Blood was dripping from his body


    and seeping into the beige floor cracks.


    “Someone call the police and ambnce!” Suddenly, someone shouted. It wasn’t until then that some


    people of the crowd who regained theirposure acted quickly. However, most of them were still in


    shock and stood very still.


    Wayne had just stepped out of the elevator when he noticed a young man frantically exining the


    situation over his cell phone, “Someone has been injured here. I’m not sure if the man is still alive, but


    there’s a lot of blood here. Yes, we do need an ambnce.”


    Hearing the word “blood”, Wayne became terrified and could feel his heart pounding. He immediately


    ran toward Anna’s office and pushed aside the people in his way. By the time he reached the office


    door, he exhaled a sigh of relief at the sight that Anna was safe and sound. Then he walked up to her


    on the bloodstained floor and said softly, “Anna.”


    His voice was gentle as if it held the most powerful force in the world and was pulling Anna back from


    the abyss. A whileter, Anna looked less pale, and she gradually shifted her gaze to Wayne’s face.


    When she looked Ff up and saw Wayne in front of her, she dropped the dagger in her hand and


    shuddered, “Wayne, he… he’s dead.” She sobbed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. And the


    blood on her hands sttered on his suit, shirt, and tie.


    “It’s okay. I’m here to take you home,” Wayne said firmly as he stroked her back with one hand. His


    voice was as gentle as moonlight. As he spoke, he helped her up and walked to the door. And then,


    Wayne led Anna out of Lemon’s office, ignoring the mess on the floor.


    On the way home, Anna stared nkly out of the window and felt sick as she smelled the blood in the


    car. As a group of students crossed the crosswalk, their car stopped at an intersection. Seeing their


    youthful faces, Anna realized something, sat straight, and eximed, “Isabe! Bill said Isabe is in


    danger!”


    With a serious expression, Wayne nodded, dialed Noel’s number, and briefly exined the situation to


    him.


    After hanging up, Wayne looked at Anna and reassured her, “Noel has gone to find Isabe, she’ll be


    fine.” When the light turned green, he started the engine and continued driving.


    Anna nodded and said nothing. As she calmed down, she realized that Bill had probably said that just


    to make her crazy. She analyzed, Bill probably knew how this would end before he arrived at my office.


    From the moment he walked into my office, he had nned the ending. Dama it! | shouldn’t have fallen


    into his trap so easily!


    About 40 minutester, the car stopped in front of the Wright’s front door.


    The maid who opened the door was stunned to see them and trembled as she asked what had


    happened. Wayne carried Anna out of the car, who had been silent, and said to the maid calmly,


    “Anna’s frightened. 484 | Didn’t Kill Him!


    Bring her some food, please.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After that, he dashed into the house and took Anna to the bathroom. The bathroom was filled with


    warm steam, and all Anna could hear was the sound of running water. The smell of blood disappeared


    only after Wayne changed the water in the tub several times.


    Even though the smell faded, Anna was still terrified. She sat in the bathtub, and her whole body was


    shaking. Wayne used the shower to wash her body while she clung to herself tightly.


    “Wayne, he killed himself. He killed himself…” Anna muttered, trying to recall what had just happened.


    Everything seemed surreal, and she wondered if she had remembered it wrong. She couldn’t


    remember if Bill had grabbed her hand and stabbed himself or if she had done it. She even believed


    her brain had changed her memory.


    “Let Tammy and Matthew stay in Europe. Find them a good high school, Wayne. They cane back


    here after finishing college. It’s the best way to keep them safe,” Anna said to Wayne after regaining


    herposure.


    “Okay.” Wayne didn’t ask what was going on but agreed without hesitation


    At the time, Anna didn’t know what Wayne was thinking. Neither did she realize that he was already


    nning to risk everything to protect her.


    Around half an hourter, Wayne helped Anna get dressed in clean clothes. When they came out of the


    bathroom, Anna felt sick and was about to throw up the instant she saw the pile of bloodstained clothes


    on the floor.


    Seeing that, Wayne picked up the clothes and left the bedroom considerably. Just as he was about to


    leave the bedroom door, a maid 484 | Didn’t Kill Him! oF rushed over. She looked at Wayne in horror


    and was even more terrified when she saw the bloody clothes in his hand. “Sir, there is a bunch of


    police outside saying they want to take Mrs. Wright away,” she said.


    Wayne said calmly as he shoved the clothes into the maid’s hand, “Tell them that she is not at home.


    Take those clothes outside and throw them away.”


    After the servant walked away, Wayne let out a sigh, changed his clothes and walked toward the front


    yard. The yard gate was open, and several police officers were there. When one of the officers saw


    Wayne, he took out his police badge and said to him, “We are officers of the Birmingham Police


    Department, and we need Anna Wright to help us investigate a case.”


    “Sorry, Anna isn’t here,” Wayne said, putting his hands in his suit pants pockets and looking at the


    police officer’s badge indifferently.


    A young police officer standing outside the door grumbled, “We watched the surveince and followed


    your car here. Besides, your maid just said your wife was home. You…”


    “Stop talking, Tony!” An older officer said loudly, interrupting him.


    Immediately, Tony stopped talking, bowed his head and seemed embarrassed. Wayne frowned. He just


    stared at Tony, saying nothing.


    “Mr. Wright, your wife is under investigation for a crime, and she is not a criminal. If she chooses to


    escape at this time, the situation will be much more serious,” The officer seemed to be


    threatening Wayne and even addressed him as “Mr. Wright.” He reminded Wayne that he was the CEO


    of the Carousel Group and that breaking thew would tarnish thepany’s image.


    Wayne would not have hesitated to get thepany out of trouble if


    this were the old days. But he preferred to handle it as Anna’s husband. 484 | Didn’t Kill Him!


    After giving it some thoughts, Wayne smiled and looked at the officer calmly. “I told you she wasn’t


    here. If you don’t believe me,e back after you get a search warrant.”


    The police officers knew Wayne had done it on purpose, but there was nothing they could do about it.


    They were all aware that they could not offend the Wrights. Otherwise, they’d all be in big trouble.


    The young officer appeared to be unhappy, but all he could do was nod and say, “OK. Then we’ll.”


    “Wayne!”


    He was about to finish when he heard a woman’s voice. And everyone turned to look at the person


    behind Wayne who just shouted his name.
