Chapter 39 Is Mr. Solace Jealous?
Upon seeing Yuliana, Harry paused for a moment, glanced at her in silence, and then hurried into the room. However, the person who came with Harry nodded gently at Yuliana.
Yuliana remembered that he was Harry’s lawyer, Yancey.
He was the lawyer who handled the divorce between Harry and her.
After the two entered, Yuliana massaged her temples as the lights in the police station were a little too bright. After a while, she heard Kathryn and Xandria’s loud voices that sounded from inside.
Yuliana got up and quickly walked in. Xandria’s eyes reddened as she was obviously a little scared of breaking the law. Meanwhile, Kathryn was staring at Annabelle, as if wanting to kill her with eyes. Annabelle sat in a chair with a black suit draped over her body. It was clear that the coat belonged to Harry. She looked leisurely as though she was in a coffee shop, not in the police station.
Yuliana observed the expressions on everyone’s faces and knew what was going on. She walked to Harry and asked, “Can I talk to you alone?”
Her voice broke the silence in the inquiry room. Everyone could not help but turn their eyes on her. Annabelle sneered and said nothing.
Xandria did not want Yuliana to plead with Harry for her, so she said angrily, “What is there to talk about with him?”
Yuliana looked at Xandria and pursed her lips. Then she said to Harry, “It won’t be long. Just a few minutes.” Harry glanced at her and walked out of the room.
When Yuliana got out, Harry was lighting a cigarette outside the police station. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, so it was as if he had integrated with the dark night.
Harry had raised brow bones, a tall nose bridge, and deep-set eyes. Although his features were not as well-defined as Christopher’s, no one would be able to ignore his cold and powerful aura.
Yuliana could not remember how she fell in love with Harry.
While recalling the past, it seemed that she could no longer find the joy of love that she once had.
Ten years passed just like that.
It was late at night, and silence enveloped the empty yard outside the police station.
Yuliana twirled the hair around her ear and said faintly, “Harry, can you please let Xani off the hook this time?”
Harry flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked up at the night sky. He replied, “Yuliana, you should know very well that everyone needs to take responsibility for what they did.”
Yuliana smiled and said, “You’re right. Everyone should take responsibility for what they did, but you should know why Xani did this. She’s just standing up for me. Besides, Annabelle isn’t substantially hurt, right?”
She paused, looked sideways at Harry, and continued, “Harry, do you not even feel an ounce of guilt toward me?”
Harry was silent for a moment, looked at Yuliana, and said nothing.
A car drove in, and the headlights were shining right at Yuliana and Harry in the yard.
Yuliana shifted her gaze from Harry, raised her hand to block the light, and squinted in the direction of the headlights.
Christopher stared at the two in the distance for a moment before shutting down the engine and getting off
the car.
He walked up to them and smilingly said, “Mr. Ziegler, what a good moment you’re having here, and what a unique habit you have, meeting up with your ex-wife at a police station.”
Harry looked at him coldly and said, “Are you jealous, Mr. Solace?”
Christopher smiled, “Jealous of what? Mr. Ziegler, you are not the only one with a beauty in your arms.
Annabelle will marry me next month. You’re more than welcome to attend the wedding!”
Christopher smiled and looked into Harry’s eyes. “Well, I’ll be heading in now, so you two carry on.”
After saying that, he turned around and went inside.
Yuliana could sense the tension between Christopher and Harry, but it had nothing to do with her.
She said to Harry, “I only want Xani to be safe.”
With that said, Yuliana turned around and entered the police station.
The situation in the police station became more chaotic with Christopher’s arrival. Kathryn was infuriated when she saw him protecting Annabelle Several police officers tried their best to calm her down.
Kathryn cursed, “Annabelle, you pretentious bitch! What a shameless vixen you are! You not only hooked up with someone else’s husband, but you’re also a bitch who messes around with multiple men!”
Last time, Christopher embarrassed Kathryn in their social circle because of Annabelle, so she was laughed. at by many people.
Kathryn had been annoyed since then for this reason. Hence, she fought against Annabelle with Xandria at
the bar.
She could not figure out why so many men were obsessed with a bitch like Annabelle.
“Are they all blind? Are they all easily hooked as long as the woman looks pretty and is skillful in bed? In what aspect am I not better than Annabelle?” she wondered.
Annabelle listened to Kathryn’s words, twirled her hair, and smiled alluringly. She said, “Why are you so sour, Ms. Smith? Are you jealous of my beauty? Are you jealous because I have men who like me?”
“Aren’t you ashamed?” Kathryn’s chest was thumping with anger.
Annabelle snorted and ignored Kathryn. She stood up, yawned, and said, “Chris, I’m sleepy. I want to go back to rest first. Please help me deal with the rest.”
After a pause, she smiled at Christopher again. “I have suffered a lot tonight. You have to help me get justice.”
After saying that, Annabelle walked out of the inquiry room while still wearing the coat.
Christopher stood quietly for a while. He played with the lighter in his hand. The flame repeatedly lit up and extinguished. After repeating it several times, he suddenly shifted his gaze to Yuliana’s face before glancing over at Xandria and Kathryn.
“Sir, I’m sure you’ve investigated everything tonight. Please set a heavier punishment for those who deliberately pick quarrels and hurt others. Otherwise, they will not be able to learn their lesson.”
Upon hearing this, Xandria panicked and looked at Yuliana with red eyes.
“I’m not going to jail, am I?” she anxiously pondered. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Kathryn questioned angrily, “Christopher, what do you mean?”
Christopher ignored her question and turned around to walk out.
Xandria hurriedly walked to Yuliana, grabbed the latter’s hand, and asked, “Yuliana, what should I do? Will I be sent to jail?”
Yuliana comforted her, “No, don’t worry. Stay here. I’ll be back soon.”
Xandria nodded.
While looking at Xandria, Yuliana thought, “Although what happened tonight is not bad enough to send Xani to jail, she’ll still be detained for about ten days to half a month, judging from Annabelle and Christopher’s unwillingness to compromise. Xani’s been spoiled since she was young. How is she going to bear being detained for that long?”
Yuliana chased after Christopher and finally caught up with him when he was about to reach the entrance.
“Christopher!”
She grabbed Christopher’s arm. As she was rushing to chase him, she was still panting when she stopped the pursuit. While still out of breath, she asked, “Can we settle what happened tonight in private?”
