Chapter 311
Rosie stood up in astonishment and shook her head violently. It wasn’t me! You’re talking nonsense! Make such
statements again, and I’ll sue you for defamation!”
Chris did not argue with her. He turned around and said confidently to the police officer, “It’s her. She asked me to
do all this. She followed Miss Corinne from the Lunar Century Manor to the shore of Yonder River, and she chose
me to do the job because she saw Corinne talking to me when I was distributing flyers!
“She picked up the cell phone that Miss Corinne dropped and used her cell phone to transfer the money to me in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtadvance. She then deleted the transfer record and asked someone else to send the phone to the police station and
act as if they came across the cell phone by chance.
“Each step was carefully calculated by her to make Miss Corinne the prime suspect!”
After hearing that, Anya got up from Lucas’s arms in shock and looked at her best friend in disbelief. “Rosie! How
could you do something like that? I told you a long time ago not to cause trouble with Corinne for my sake.
Whatever that’s between myself and Jeremy has nothing to do with Corinne, and I don’t like it if you do that sort of
thing!”
Rosie shook her head in a panic. “But Anya, it wasn’t me! I swear it wasn’t me!”
Anya had an extremely disappointed expression after seeing how stubborn Rosie was. She did not want to say
another word and took a deep breath before turning around and wiping her tears in her brother’s arms.
Rosie was at a loss after losing her best friend’s trust. She glared at Corinne angrily and pointed at her, saying, “You
did this! You told this gangster to frame me just to absolve yourself from being the suspect! You’re evil, Corinne!”
Corinne cocked her eyebrow and had a look of disgust in her eyes. “All I did was tell my lawyer to find the mother
and son and save them. I didn’t interfere with anything else, and I- just like everyone else here–only knew who truly
instigated him when he mentioned your name. Didn’t think it’d be you again, Miss Rosie.”
Rosie became frantic. “Don’t try and pretend to be innocent, Corinne! You won’t succeed!”
Red–eyed and distraught, she turned around and said to Lucas, “You can’t believe a word she says, Lucas! She
deliberately designed this to clear her name and frame me!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas glanced at Rosie, then at Corinne, and there was a pensive yet complicated expression in his eyes.
The two police officers walked toward Rosie and took out some handcuffs.
“Miss Rosie, please stay here and cooperate with the investigation!”
Rosie backed away in panic and could not accept that she was going to be handcuffed. “Anya… Help me…”
Anya could not bear to be angry with her best friend when the latter begged for help. She walked up to Corinne to
try and hold her hand, but Corinne politely avoided her.
An awkward expression appeared on Anya’s face and she withdrew her hand resentfully while saying somewhat
regretfully, “I’m sorry, Corinne. I didn’t know that this was the truth… You suffered so much these few days, but
Rosie made a mistake for my sake in a moment of confusion. Is it
okay if you let this one slide, forgive her, and give her another chance?”
