Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 86

Chapter 7

The sudden arrival of the police disrupted the entire scene.

Richard, who had been in control, was suddenly taken into custody. Meanwhile, I, who was supposed to be the one held by Richard, became the complainant needing protection.

Richard glared at me with seething anger: "You scheming bitch, playing dirty?"

I maintained a calm demeanor and said nothing.

Although I had experienced this before, I couldn't ensure everything would go according to plan. So, just in case, I had secretly called the police on our way to the hospital and provided them with my home surveillance footage. The footage clearly documented Richard's illegal entry, vandalism, kidnapping, and assault.

This evidence was enough for the police to act and arrest Richard, the primary suspect.

With everyone watching, both Richard and I were taken away.

At the police station, the officers began questioning Richard about his crimes. Unable to refute the evidence, Richard could only begrudgingly accept his fate, glaring at me with intense hatred.

His eyes seemed to burn with the desire to tear me apart.

When the police decided to detain Richard, I took the initiative to propose a settlement.
