Chapter 880 Let Me Be The One To Protect You "You should be detained in a cell awaiting your sentence for suspicion of murder, right? So, why are you here in the hospital? And who is that young woman with you?" "Deirdre McKinnon, why are you panicking? You're not thinking about running away, right?!" "How dare you hide in the comforts of a hospital instead of facing your trials? What kind of world have we come to when a snake-hearted woman like you can evade justice? Not admitting to your guilt is bad, but trying to run away from tough questions? Honestly, McKinnon, did you really think having your billionaire lover shielding you makes you above accountability!?" "Go to h*ll, murderer!" "F*cking wh*re, stealing another woman's man and trying to murder her to get her out of the way! H*ll has a special place for you, b*tch!”

Their commentaries started becoming more and more inflammatory. At one point, someone even started getting physical and shoved Deirdre as hard as they could. The force knocked her footing awry, and she careened toward the wall.

"Miss McKinnon!" cried Shea. She reached out, caught her in her arm as quickly as she could, and held her steady. "Are you okay?"

Deirdre's face was as white as a sheet. She shook her head.

"Get out of the way, godd*mnit!" Shea roared at the stampede. "Get the h*ll out!"

Unfortunately, a new influx of bystanders joined in on the chaos-all of them were feeling righteous fury. They formed a wall around Deirdre, determined to stop her from fleeing, and two of them even breached the ring.
