Chapter 167:

The moment Kallie stepped out, a flood of reporters surged forward, their cameras poised to capture her being escorted into the police car.

The intensity of the scene rivaled that of a high-profile arrest for a severe crime, drawing the gaze of everyone nearby.

“Hey, what’s happening? Are they arresting a murderer?”

“Haven’t you heard? This woman’s got a lover in the middle of a divorce, and now she’s plotting to murder her husband because he won’t give her any money.”

“Oh my goodness, really? But she looks so sweet and innocent.”

“Looks can be deceiving. Women like her manipulate with their beauty, stopping at nothing to achieve their aims. Her poor husband must be suffering.”

Upon arriving at the police station, Kallie was immediately taken for questioning.

Due to Kallie’s inability to speak, a sign language interpreter was promptly brought in.

After Kallie explained her side, one officer responded, “From what you’ve described, you might be innocent, but we can’t release you yet. There’s a serious allegation of attempted murder against you, accusing you of poisoning your husband during your time together. We must wait for the hospital report to confirm whether there was indeed any poisoning.”

Kallie simply nodded, aware that the hospital report might not come as easily as hoped. Jake’s illness was a secret closely guarded by those who knew.

Kallie knew she was resigned to endure a bit longer at the station.

Before long, Kallie nodded off at the table. She was jolted awake by the sound of someone entering and tapping the table in front of her. “Kallie, you’ve been bailed out. You’re free to leave now.”

Glancing at the clock, Kallie noted it was deep into the night. Jake probably acted swiftly.
