Chapter 557 Arrested on Suspicion of Murder
Joe grabbed Lisa by the neck with a cold smirk, his fingers tightening steadily until her face turned liver
color.
“I can assure you that she will be fine while you…” Joe sneered, a thick, murderous intent filling his
eyes. “You will surely
die here.”
The man before her exuded an air of nobility, his immacte suit clinging to him perfectly. Only the
rolled-up sleeve on the
arm holding Lisa revealed a glimpse of the wrist.
His gaze was ferocious, brimming with cruelty and a thirst for blood. It was as if he could tear Lisa apart
with just his eyes.
For the first time, Lisa realized that Joe could ruthlessly end her life, even in front of a crowd.
“I…” Lisa struggled to utter a word. Before she could continue, the doors to the banquet hall were
forcefully pushed open.
A group of policemen entered in a single file, freezing in their tracks at the astonishing scene before
them.
“Release her immediately!” The policemen quickly snapped to attention, loudly reprimanding Joe.
The onlookers in the hall finally snapped back to reality, rushing forward to assist Charlotte.
But by that time, Charlotte was already feeling dizzy and disoriented, a sensation that quickly swept
over her entire body.
With a cold expression, Joe flung Lisa to the ground. Lisa copsed in a disheveled heap, still casting
fearful nces his
way.
Joe sneered, “Don’t think that the police showing up will save you. As long as I want to… even if you
end up in prison, you
won’t survive past the first day.” All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
Lisa, who had seemed somewhat unhinged from the start, appeared to regain some rity at this
moment. Fearfully, she
took a few steps back, then quickly scrambled behind the police officers, seeking refuge. “The police
are here now. Every
word you say is being recorded! I don’t believe your money can buy you impunity!”
Enter title…
Just then, a police officer suddenly snapped a pair of gleaming handcuffs onto Lisa’s wrists.
Lisa froze in ce, eximing, “What are you doing?”
The leading officer stared expressionlessly at her, stating, “We suspect you may be involved in a
murder case. We hope
you’ll cooperate with our investigation bying with us.”
Lisa went rigid. She slowly lifted her gaze to the officer, then suddenly clutched her head and screamed
loudly, “I didn’t kill
her! She brought it on herself! If she hadn’t been hounding me day and night, trying to extort money
from me, how could I
have identally pushed her down the stairs?”
The police officer stared at her for a moment, “You can exin the situation to us at the police station,
but every word
you’ve said contradicts the findings of our on-site investigation. I suggest youe clean and
cooperate.”
Upon hearing this, Lisa resembled an enraged and crazed dog. Her expression contorted and manic,
she shouted, “You
must have been bribed! I’m innocent! That woman deserves to die! She should die!”
Meanwhile, Joe had little attention left for themotion. He swiftly lifted Charlotte into his arms, his
voice filled with
urgency, “Are you alright? I’ll call a doctor right away!”
Charlotte had no strength left. She weakly leaned against Joe’s shoulder, unconsciously nuzzling
against him. A faint
blush spread across her face.
Joe furrowed his brow; something seemed off about the situation.
He rushed back to his apartment as quickly as possible, and within less than two minutes, his private
doctor arrived.
Vincent had been a longtime friend of Joe. Seeing the evident concern in Joe’s expression, he had
originally intended to
make a light-heartedment.
However, before he could utter a word, Joe gave him a cool nce, “If you can’t cure her, don’t me
me for not being
polite to you
