Chapter 54 Bail Her Out

Hadley cast a fleeting glance at Eric before lowering her head with a faint smile. “No need, I will tell the police

whatever they need to know.”

She was curious to see if Eric truly believed he could dictate every turn of her fate.

Eric had not expected her to dig in her heels like this. Was it really so impossible for her to just talk to him and clear things up?

Trapped between frustration and disbelief, Eric let out a cold, sharp laugh. “Fine, perfect! Let’s get moving then!”

Did she think he relished interfering in her affairs? If he kept sticking his nose in, he might as well be a fool.

“Let’s go!”

Hadley turned and followed the policewoman out.

A moment later, a loud crash echoed behind her. She froze for a heartbeat. Eric had overturned the coffee table

in a fit of rage.

The room lay in ruins.

At the police station.

“Officer, I have explained everything clearly.”

She had been repeating herself like a scratched record, yet the officers remained unimpressed.

“You claim you are innocent, so why were you

there?”

Hadley opened her mouth, but then shut it again.

She had been alone in that room, just as she had already said.

“Your story is full of holes, Miss Pearson. You need to tell us the truth.”

Hadley fell silent, the pressure pressing down on her like a boulder.

“Any witnesses? Friends? Family? Someone who can vouch for you?”

This…

Her mind went blank. She had no one.

The officer sighed. “Alright, detain her for now.”

He snapped his notebook shut and motioned for her to be taken away.

The iron door groaned, and she was shoved inside a cell.
