Chapter 80: The Sweet Deception


    Chapter 80: The Sweet Deception


    The police car raced to the scene.


    In no time, it arrived at theke''s shore.


    As two police officers stepped out of the car, Melissa hurried over to them, pointing at Jane and


    using, "That''s the culprit, Jane North! She''s the one who pushed Monica into theke!"


    The older officer, Bray, turned to his colleague. "Let''s take a look, Lisa."


    "Alright, Bray," the policewoman nodded.


    Bray surveyed the scene, eyes falling on Jane, who was diligently performing CPR beside the


    unconscious Monica.


    "What happened?" Bray asked the group.


    Osborn began, "She fell into theke, and-"


    Melissa interjected aggressively, "No, she didn''t fall by herself! Jane pushed her. I saw it with my


    own eyes. My ssmate is also a witness."


    She gave Merlin a subtle signal, and he chimed in, "Yes, I saw it too. Jane pushed Monica into the


    lake."


    The officers exchanged knowing nces.


    Bray inquired calmly, "Is that so?"


    "Of course not!" Osborn furrowed his brow.


    "You have no business testifying, Osborn. You arrived after Monica was already in the water. You


    didn''t witness the events leading up to it. Why are you so shamelessly lying for Jane?" Melissa


    used him.


    Osborn retorted, pointing at Jane, "Jane is trying to resuscitate Monica. Why would she do that if


    she pushed Monica into theke?"


    Melissa sneered, "Isn''t it obvious? Jane is just pretending. Monica drowned long ago. She''s dead,


    but Jane is acting concerned to avoid arrest!"


    Jane suddenly shouted, "Shut your mouth, Melissa! Monica is not dead. She can still be


    resuscitated!"


    She continued performing CPR, and Monica vomited water, surprising Melissa.


    Was Monica alive? Melissa realized it didn''t matter. Monica would ensure Jane faced the


    consequences. Either way, Jane''s fate was sealed.


    An ambnce arrived, and a doctor hurried over. "Officers, how''s the situation now?" the doctor


    asked, concerned.


    Bray exined, "This woman fell into the water."

    Jane stepped aside to let the doctor examine Monica. She had exhausted herself performing CPR


    and took deep breaths to recover.


    Jane then exined the situation, "She was in the water for quite some time. I''ve been performing


    CPR since she was brought out of theke. Her pulse was non-existent at first and is still very


    weak. Please, help her."


    The doctor instructed the medics to ce Monica on a stretcher, and after some initial care, they


    loaded her into the ambnce, which sped off to the hospital.


    Jane breathed a sigh of relief but remained anxious about Monica''s condition.


    It wasn''t certain she would survive.


    The policewoman, taking out a small notepad and a pen, approached Jane, given her dedication to


    resuscitating Monica.


    Jane nodded and was about to exin when Melissa interrupted, "I already told you what


    happened. Jane pushed Monica into theke and watched her drown before attempting to save


    her!"


    Jane snapped, "Shut the heck up, Melissa!"


    She shot a freezing re at Melissa, who fell silent.


    Bray intervened, "Officers, here''s the thing. Ourpany came to Lover Lake to shoot an outdoor


    advertisement for a brand. When I came here to check this spot for a scene, Monica appeared out


    of nowhere. She tried to push me into theke, but she identally fell in herself."


    Jane calmly recounted her version of events.


    Melissa dismissed it, "That''s rubbish! Don''t believe her. What murderer admits to their crime? My


    ssmate and I saw it. Jane pushed Monica into theke. We are witnesses!"


    Bray sighed and cleared his throat, "In that case, all of you will need toe with us to the station


    to provide statements."


    Meanwhile, Patrick didn''t wake up until ten o''clock that morning. The first thing he saw was a crystal


    lamp when he opened his eyes. He sat up abruptly, bewildered. This wasn''t his room. Florence, a


    curvaceous woman in a sexy red silk nightgown, walked in.


    "Good morning, Patrick. You''re finally awake. Look, I made you breakfast," Florence greeted him,


    staring at him intently.


    "Florence? Why are you here, and where is this ce?" Patrick questioned, his handsome face


    darkening.


    "You''re in my room. Where else would I be?" Florence grinned, sitting next to him.


    "Your room?" Patrick raised an eyebrow, surprised. How had he ended up here? "Don''t you


    rememberst night? You got drunk, so I had to bring you here," Florence exined, her tone


    flirtatious.


    "Candy..." Patrick muttered, thinking of the previous night. Biting her lip, Florence gazed at him


    affectionately. "Patrick, I''m Candy."


    "What? You''re Candy?" Patrick''s handsome features tightened, and he scrutinized Florence.


    How could she be Candy? Florence nodded confidently, without hesitation. "Yes. Don''t you


    remember when we were kidnapped together many years ago?"
