A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 142

It turned out that William had schemed so elaborately in order to send Edward to prison.

"Did those people take William's money?" I pursed my lips and glanced at Paul.

"Those people's confession is very adverse to him. Once they don't change their minds and we can't find any new evidence, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment."

Life imprisonment...

How could a powerful person like Edward suffer such a blow?

I was shocked by what Paul said and couldn't say a word.

"Here we are." While I was blaming myself, the car arrived at the police station.

Paul took the lead in getting out of the car. He opened the car door for me.

I held my baby and got out of the car. I raised my head and looked at the building in front of me.

When I thought that Edward was detained in the police station, I felt so sad and painful in my heart.

"Let's go." I looked away and said to Paul who was standing behind me.

Paul led me to the place where Edward was detained. Although Edward was charged, he still had a high status. The Xis had been enjoying high prestige and command universal respect in Beijing for a long time. Those policemen didn't treat Edward badly although the Xis had suffered a blow.

When I went to the detention room, Edward stood in the middle of the room with his back to me.

He was still wearing the suit of the design competition. His figure was tall and straight. Looking at him, I felt uncomfortable for no reason.

"Edward." I pursed my lips, walked to him, and said in a hoarse voice.

Edward turned around. When he saw him, he could not help but frown, "Who let you come here?"

"I saw the news." I looked at Edward's cold and handsome face and said with tears.

"The reporters like to make groundless accusations. Go back to the villa right away." Edward's face darkened as he looked at me and said.

"You all know, don't you?" I walked to him and clenched my fists.

Edward was silent. He just stared at me with his deep eyes.

His eyes were so straightforward that I felt flustered.

"You knew that I would help William to deal with you, right?" Seeing that he did not speak, I gritted my teeth and repeated.

"No matter what you do, I won't blame you." Edward reached out and gently caressed my face.

"Slap!" His words made me angry. I slapped off his hand and looked at him coldly.

"Edward, how could you make such a decision? Yes,

I helped William. I wanted you to lose the qualification for this design competition. I didn't want you to win this project."

"I know." In the face of my sharp and even aggressive words, Edward was not angry, and he looked at me with tender and affectionate eyes.

"I know you hate me. No matter how many times I say sorry, there is no way to offset what I have done to you before. Ashley, I can accept the punishment this time. If I can be released from prison safely, let's start again, okay?"

He stepped forward, put his arms around my waist, and whispered to me in a low voice.

Hearing what he said, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

It was so painful that I felt uncomfortable.

I used all my strength to push Edward away and sneered, "Why should we start again? Edward, let me ask you, is my father's death related to the Xis?"

"Ashley, remember what I said. Don't believe what you see and don't believe what you hear."

Edward didn't explain and just bitterly said to me.

"I will ask Paul to take you out of here for some time. Give birth to our child. When this matter is settled, I will pick you up." Edward walked to me, and his hot breathing passed by my nose.

I looked at his face in a daze, and my nails scratched through my palm. It was very painful.

"I will tell you everything in the future, but not now. William has no way to hurt you now. Don't get close to him. I will deal with him. You just need to protect our child."

Edward held me in his arms and murmured in a low voice.

I bit my lips and looked at his perfect side face with tears in my eyes, but I couldn't say a word.

I had so many evidences that my father died because of the Xis. But I had no way to treat Edward cruelly.

Edward held my face, gently kissed my lips, and whispered, "When I go back, we will be together for the rest of our lives and we won't be apart forever."

Forever?

I didn't know what kind of mood I had when I came out of the police station. When I came out, the sky outside was very dark.

In the dim sky, the cold wind was blowing all around, just like my bad mood at the moment.

When I walked out, Paul opened the car door and let me get in.

I raised my head and looked at him indifferently. Then I shook my head in disappointment.

His look really made me feel strange and even scared.

"Ashley, do you think there's any possibility for Edward to escape? The Xis will completely disappear in Beijing."

William grabbed my hand fiercely and said. His strength was so great that it hurt my wrist. I couldn't help frowning. Just as I was about to get rid of his hand, Paul took his hand away. Then Paul began to fight with William.

"G.M.Xiao, you are too impatient.1' Paul's face was cold as he fights with William.

"You're indeed Edward's favorite assistant. Nice skill." William's handsome face was ferocious and twisted. He sneered, but his actions were not sloppy at all.

"No matter how you frame my boss, you will become the victim of your own evil deeds." Paul narrowed his eyes, raised his foot, and kicked William.

William looked at Paul sarcastically and blocked his attack.

They were well-matched. Then William stopped his actions. After gracefully arranging his clothes, he turned around and said to me, "Ashley, don't be stupid. We must be unified into a united front.. Don't forget your father's death and your child's death, as well as the grievance you have suffered."

"You don't need to care about my affairs. What I hate most is being used by others. William, from today on, we are strangers."

I pursed my lips, looked at William, and said coldly.

At this moment, I completely saw William through.

I stupidly thought that he really liked me.

It turned out that he just wanted to use me to set up traps and frame Edward.

"Since you're like this, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'm sure that Edward will die."

William seemed to be stimulated by my words.

He directly put on a cold face and didn't intend to pretend in front of me. He had no consideration for my feelings. Then he said and left the police station.

Looking at his back, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

For the first time, I found that a person could pretend so well, and William was such a person.

"Miss Mu, please think clearly about your father's death. Don't be fooled by William." After getting in the car, Paul suddenly said to me like this.

My heartbeat so fast. I held my belly, raised my head, and looked at Paul. "Paul, do you know something?"

This matter was really strange.
