The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 154 I Didn’t See Anything. You Believe Me, Right?

Marion grabbed her phone and hurriedly ran to open the door. As expected, there was a police car parked outside, and several officers were present, including a female officer.

“Miss Marion, I’m Officer Tucker. Your friend reported a break-in at your home. Is there a thief inside?” The officer asked as he scrutinized Marion.

Marion felt embarrassed, quickly shook her head, and explained, “I’m sorry, Officer Tucker. There’s no intruder in my home. It was a misunderstanding. My husband returned from a business trip, and I mistook him for a thief. My friend hung up before I could explain…’

Understanding the situation, Officer Tucker still had to follow protocol. “Are you sure there’s no intruder, and everything is fine? Would it be convenient for your husband to come out and talk to us?”

Marion hesitated, “My husband is taking a shower so it’s not convenient for him to come out right now.”

“No problem, we can wait.” The officers stayed outside, and Marion reluctantly invited them in while assuring them she would hurry her husband.

Before she left, one of the officers warned her, “Miss Marion, if you don’t come out within five minutes, we will have to enter.”

The officer’s firm words seemed directed at any potential ‘intruder’ inside. Marion felt uneasy, never having encountered such an awkward situation in her life.

“I understand, Officer Tucker.”

With that, she turned and briskly entered the villa, heading straight to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Her guess was accurate – Lucas was indeed in the shower.

The bedroom door was not completely shut, and after some internal struggle, Marion decided to push it open. The bathroom door, however, was closed, and she dared not open it.
