Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 149 Her Own Tangled Trap

The video was sharp and perfectly clear. And it showed exactly

what Alistair had said. He and his wife were just strolling through

the park, hand in hand. As they got close to the fountain, Freya

came walking toward them. But while she was still a good few feet away from them, she suddenly just sort of wobbled and then pitched headfirst right into the water!

The whole time, they never laid a finger on her. They didn't even speak to her. In fact, right before Freya took her unplanned dip,

Alistair and Caroline hadn't even spared her a single glance!

The truth was right there, plain as day, for everyone to see. Freya's face went a ghastly shade of pale. The self-righteous mob that had been vehemently baying for Alistair's blood just stood there,

mouths agape.

Alistair faced the officer. "Officer, you saw it. This group, led by

Ms. Peterson, launched a vicious, unprovoked attack on my wife and me. If that bodyguard hadn't luckily filmed it, with them all ganging up and lying, we'd have been screwed. No way to clear

our names."

The officer turned, his expression stern, looking from Freya to the

now-silent crowd. "Well? Your explanation?"

Freya was floored, looking like she'd been hit by a truck.

She honestly had no idea how she'd gone from walking fine one

second to taking an involuntary swim in the fountain.

Her whole focus had been on proving her love for her boyfriend. The harebrained plan? Stage a bump and fall, a classic fake injury, then use her huge fanbase to pressure whoever pissed off her boyfriend into a groveling apology.

Okay, falling early had thrown her, made her panic. But weirdly,

the result was even better, more dramatic, than her original plan.

Initially, just the three of them were there. But the instant she struck her most pathetic, tearful damsel-in-distress pose, every onlooker automatically assumed she was the victim.

The crowd, moments ago so aggressively testifying for Freya,

now panicked, their faces paling, desperately trying to distance

themselves.

But Alistair's words painted their actions as something far more

serious, verging on a coordinated mob attack, maybe even

harassment. So, the local cops rounded them all up and hauled

them to the station for investigation.

Freya, truly caught in her own tangled trap, was a blubbering, hysterical mess, frantically calling for backup.
