Facade

Meanwhile, Michelle argued, “Why would we call the cops on you if you didn’t hurt Zyler at all?” 

Rupert refuted, “That’s because you want her to go to jail” 

The truth was exposed so abruptly that Michelle didn’t know what to say for a moment. She wanted to backpedal to the “ut’s all a misunderstanding” route, but Rupert never gave her a chance to do so. 

“To sum it all up, Queenie twisted the truth and conspired with a member of the police force to lodge a fake police report. She did all this to frame Hera and get her imprisoned. 

“In doing so, she has committed two crimes–talse accusations and deliberate framing of others. Sir, I implore you to make this a valid case.” 

– 

“Request approved. This case is now valid” Nathan waved a hand. Almost immediately, two officers stepped up and grabbed Queente from both sides. 

Queenie was stunned by the sudden plot twist. She turned to look at Shaun and Kane once again. 

“Mr.Thompson, Chief Manford.” 

Shaun nudged a foot against the cell’s iron door as he smoked from his cigar, clearly enjoying the show. He couldn’t be bothered to spare Queenie a glance. 

“I think it’s necessary to look into her crime of bribery as well,” he added. 

How dared Queenie use such underhanded methods to frame Hera? Shaun felt he wouldn’t be able to face Bernard anymore if he didn’t resort to brutal methods just to deal with 

Queenie. 

queenie was stunned upon hearing Shaun’s suggestion. 

Wasn’t he supposed to side with her? 

“Don’t worry, Mr. Thompson. We’ll definitely investigate every single thing she’s done,” Kane said firmly. 

Then, he turned around to look at Hera “Ms. Youngworth, are you satisfied with the outcome of this matter? If you’re still unsatisfied with it, we can continue discussing your concems in my office instead of hanging around this cell.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Kane simpered at Hera. His demeanor and tone were extremely respectful. 

Needless to say, Queenie and the others were very shocked. They had been stealing glances at Shaun and Kane the whole time, but they never expected to find out that the case was specifically reinvestigated just for Hera’s sake. 

“Thanks. It’s a pretty decent outcome,” Hera replied, rising to her feet. Then, she exited the cell. 

Kane heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he was able to get Hera out of the cell. 

Hera stopped at the doorway long enough to glance at Queenie coldly. “Sorry for taking up your spot, Mrs. Gaskell. It’s all yours now.” 

Her tone was neutral, yet she was able to say such infuriating things. 

Queenie gritted her teeth furiously while glaring at Hera. “You bitch!” 

she got careless this time. 

Never did she expect to see Shaun backing Hera up. 

Undeniably, Hera was exceedingly beautiful. Everyone knew Shaun changed his girlfriends frequently. Once he was sick of Hera, Queenie would make sure that Hera would pay for what she had done. 

Now that things had progressed to this stage, Queenie could only swallow the bitter defeat in front of Shaun and Kane. She’d have to wait for the Gaskell to bail her out. 

Otherwise, she might have to go to jail for real if things worsened for her. 

Nathan grabbed Queenie’s shoulder firmly before shoving her into the cell. Then, he slammed the cell door shut and locked it. 

“Mom!” Zyler wanted to stop Nathan, but he was too late. An officer escorted him out of the detention facility soon.. 

Since everything was already dealt with, Shaun said disdainfully, “Alright, let’s leave. This place stinks like hell.” 

Hera, Kane, and Nathan fell silent at the complaint 

Shaun didn’t look so disdainful when he first arrived at the detention facility. He had spent a few hours there before finally revealing his disdain. He was definitely doing this on purpose, wasn’t he?
