My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 194 Struggling to regain control, Elizabeth steadied her voice.

“Thank you for helping me.

I got turned around while looking for something to eat.

Could I borrow your phone to call the film crew?”

Nate shook his head gently, “No need, I’ve already called the police.

They’ll be here any minute.

You’ll need to give them a statement before you go anywhere.”

As if on cue, the wail of sirens broke the stillness of the night, the flashing red and blue lights announcing the law’s arrival.

Nate stepped back, gesturing for Elizabeth to step out of the car.

Behind him, a line of bodyguards stood like statues, holding umbrellas that barely kept the rain at bay.

On the ground nearby, two men writhed in defeat, subdued and soaked, their faces a picture of drunken regret.

Elizabeth blinked at the scene, taken aback by the fact that Nate had actually called the authorities.

Her guard loosened, but suspicion still flickered at the edges of her thoughts.

Was this really an accident, or had he somehow orchestrated everything?
