"Sir, who are you talking about?" Cody was startled awake and was still drowsy. He had a blank, puzzled expression on his face."James Miller!" Victor said gritting his teeth. "The guy you caught at Red hotel last night.""Oh, that pervert?" Cody said casually, "He's still at the precinct. I was planning to interrogate him once I woke up.""Interrogate him?" Victor snorted loudly. He pointed at the officer and said, "I'm warning you. Release him at once, or else I'll put you to sleep forever."Cody got up from his bed Immediately upon hearing that.Due to his abrupt movement, he accidentally banged his head on the bottom of the upper bunk.Based on his experience as a senior cop, he could sense that this Miller guy was no ordinary man.Cody wasted no time and led Victor to the interrogation room."He's here, Sir." Cody jutted his chin towards the room."All of you, head out first. Victor chased the other officers away. He pushed open the door to the interrogation room quietly."I'm so
"You've seen the video clip, right, Cody? Can you release this gentleman now?" Victor tapped on his phone screen and yelled.The mistress has come clean about everything in the video clip, including how she and Derek have set up."Sure!" Cody rubbed his nose sheepishly and did not dare to object anymore."I'm sorry for what happened between us this time, Mr. Miller." Victor looked toward James with a smile. "We've misunderstood the situation and misjudged your character.Fortunately, we've figured out what happened. I shall apologize to you again on behalf of the police department."Then, he added, "Don't worry. We'll learn our lesson and never make this same mistake again."Victor then made a face at the police Sergeant behind him, signaling him to apologize immediately."Ahem..." Cody cleared his throat with embarrassment and faked a cough before saying, "Pardon my mistake, Mr. Miller.""It's alright." James glanced at the two police officers and gave them a faint smile. He said, Th
"oh James, you're back!" Ava went up and grabbed his hand excitedly. "Thank goodness, you're alright!""Are you hurt?" She asked out of concern. She recalled all the chaos that had happened the night before and how vicious these people seem to be."I'm fine," James replied as he shook his head.Amelia found the antics playing out right before her eyes to be nothing but an eyesore."Well, well, I sure didn't expect you'd have the nerve to come back here." Amelia jabbed viciously. "You've brought nothing but shame and trouble to the family, yet you still dare to come back here.""Mom, can you please stop it?" Ava frowned, defending James. "He just got back, and what happened last night..."Amelia was immediately triggered by what her daughter said."Ava are you stupid or something? When are you going to learn?" Amelia had, had enough. She pointed at James and continued lashing out. "That piece of shit was suspected of rape and was locked up last night!""James Miller," she went on as sh
Amelia had never seen James with such a look in his eyes."You..." Amelia gulped. Her legs froze."What are you doing?" Daniella said, stoking the fire, "Are you going to beat up your mother-in-law here?""Let go of her!" Oliver rushed to the two of them right away, looking ever so faithful.James let go right away and scanned four of them.He initially thought Oliver was the one who had orchestrated the whole incident last night, getting him thrown into lock up and then saving him.From the looks of things now, Daniella and the two older Baileys were in league with him.James was rather bemused by the fact that these people had gone out of their way to set him up, seeing that they had and pulled something like that."Oliver, you were the one who made the booking at Red hotel. Then, you rushed outside all of a sudden to take a call after a few drinks," said James. He was concise and did not bother to beat around the bush."I was the only one left in the room. A woman came inside sudde
Ava was still holding James' hands tightly outside the window. She asked gently, "Did they do anything to you while you were in there?""No," James briefly replied and smiled."Oh, god, don't lie to me. you look like a twig now." Ava pursed her lip, with tears filling her eyes.Good gracious, no way. How can I turn into a twig in just a single night?" Said James, shaking his head."Those people last night, I...""You see that?" Joseph shook his head tracing Amelia's line of sight as she fumed. Those two are getting along really fine. The way I see it, there's no breaking them off.""Humph!" Amelia felt like she was about to explode.Not only did her plan of setting up James go south, but the man himself almost blew her cover. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she got."James, do you think that you can just simply write off everything that happened last night?" Amelia burst out of her room, running outside. "I'm telling you. Ava might say that she's okay, but that does
The next day at Lilo's cafe."Amelia?" Daniella took a sip of her coffee and smiled, looks like James is a scheming prick, handing over the keys to the house and the car right in front of your husband and Ava, and then going about that till death do us part bullshit and all."Ava was all touched while you and Joseph looked like the bad guys instead."Hmph... Scheming? Him?" Amelia scoffed at the notion of it. "You know what that guy is like, a loser through and through. As if anyone will buy that bullshit about him earning big bucks by playing with shares."It's all still Ava's money in the end. I'm not going to let him have his way. I don't care what he would do with that money he claimed to be his."Daniella, you know that I considered you to be one of my own, right?" Amelia continued, "Well, Joseph and I should have celebrated Ava's move to her new place, but that shit with James happened. There's nothing we could do about it, I guess.Daniella was rather bemused by what she said.
"Ava, don't say that, your Aunt is just trying to help you out here." Amelia got sullen right away when she saw James arrive. "What are you doing here?""Is this a place that a shameless piece of shit like you could come?"James paid no heed to his mother-in-law's insult, smiling faintly as he replied, "I'm just trying to give Ava some soup."Soup?" Amelia continued with her insult. "You think that Ava would bother with such insignificant gestures?"Mom, James is just concerned, seeing me so hard at work. That's why he brought soup," Ava said. She wanted nothing more than just to have her maternity leave at that moment."James, I'm telling you." Amelia put her purse away and jabbed, "I'm not done with you for what happened back then. You think I'd let you off the hook just because you handed the keys to the house and car over?""My daughter is meant to marry someone rich and powerful, and you, you better get lost."Ava snapped the folder right in front of her with a loud snap, looking
Amelia, who was chatting away merrily with Oliver turned sour as soon as she saw James walking in. "Oh, hi. Ava, you're here. Oliver got up from the couch smiling. The tone he used was like the one that came from the host instead. "You're here too, James," Oliver said with a smile glancing at the things James brought. James cursed deep down. He thought Oliver was shameless enough to believe he was family. He didn't like that an outsider like Oliver acted as if he was the son-in-law. "Mom, Ava remained resentful at Oliver after what happened before, putting the gifts they bought and saying, "James got these for you." Amelia still resented the attitude Ava took with her in the office, causing her to reply coldly, "I'm not taking any of it. who knows what's in there anyways? "Some people might pretend to be the good guy while being completely something else instead, driving a wedge between the mother and the daughter, hoping that the mother would die an early death the whole time
