Chapter 88

The policewoman in charge of taking statements glanced at Caroline on the couch. She was quietly fiddling with her laptop.

Layla and Caroline had just been in a fight, so they both had various injuries on their bodies.

Strictly speaking, though, Layla was in much worse shape than Caroline.

Caroline had quite a few scratches on her arms and face. Her clothes were torn. All in all, she looked wretched.

It really did look like Caroline had started it.

Right then, the team in charge of taking pictures of the scene finished their task. They approached Caroline. “I’m afraid the two of you will have to make a trip down to the station to aid in the investigation.”

Caroline looked at her laptop with a pained expression. “Alright.”

Then, the police officers took Layla and Caroline to the police station.

Caroline had been placed in a room to wait.

This was her first time at a police station.

Now that she’d calmed down, Caroline noticed her hands shaking violently.

After some time, someone finally walked in. But it wasn’t a police officer. Instead, it was a young man in a suit.

The man put his briefcase in front of Caroline. In a formal tone, he said, “Ms. Evans, I’m Ms. Layla Evans‘ lawyer. According to my client. she won’t pursue the incident of your assault if you pay for the damages.”

Caroline laughed.

“And if I don’t?”

The lawyer’s expression turned cold. “Then we’ll have to put you behind bars, Ms. Evans. You only have to pay for the damages to the items in the apartment. If we do an assessment of the injuries…”

The lawyer stood up and smiled. “Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gordon Wright.”

Caroline’s expression changed.

Gordon Wright was Morrison Corporation’s best lawyer. He won all of the cases that he took.

“Layla has put in a lot of effort to make sure I go to prison.”

“You should consider it carefully, Ms. Evans,” Gordon said. “I’ll leave for now. I’ll be back in ten minutes.”

Caroline lowered her head and didn’t give an answer.

The door closed and then opened again.

Caroline looked up, expecting Gordon. However, it was a policewoman who had come in.

She took a phone from a bag and handed it to Caroline.

“Do you need to contact a lawyer?”

Caroline took the phone and grimaced.

Was there a point to hiring a lawyer if Layla’s was Gordon Wright?

Besides, who would pay for her lawyer? The Morrison family? The Evanses?

She’d already lost anyone to rely on when she rejected the marriage with Eddy.

Heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.

“Are you Ms. Caroline Evans?”

just returned from a vacation.

“You are …”

Before the man could speak, the policewoman said in shock, “You’re Kal Strauss! Didn’t you already retire?”

Caroline found the name slightly familiar.

He was a legal genius in Easton.

Back in the day, he’d won some impressive transnational cases for Morrison Corporation before retiring.

Even Gordon would have to be respectful to Kal.

Why was Kai at the police station? And why was he looking for Caroline?

Kai glanced at Caroline’s confused gaze and smiled. “Ms. Evans, you can go now. Leave the rest to me
