Chapter 32



The police station was eerily quiet, as if all eyes fixed on us.

Officer Lucy, who had spoken to me last time, had returned from field duty. Spotting us, she quickly pulled a colleague aside to whisper something.

I knew with Clyde's approval, Kayla could pretty much get away with anything short of arson or murder. But I wasn't ready to let it slide. After all, she chose to mess with me. And Clyde? He wasn't keen on divorce.

But the onlookers didn't know their story and were naturally curious.

Jade scoffed, "Mel, he's only your husband on paper. Letting the other woman waltz right in? Scumbag, disgusting!"

It must've been some special day because the station was unusually crowded. I tried to force down tears that weren't there, bowing my head in feigned distress.

At that, a few bystanders couldn't hold back.

"No way. So young and already homewrecking? Shameless."

"She's clearly after his money. The legit wife keeps it simple, but the mistress? She's always dressed to kill."

"That man's got a look of a heartbreaker. No good, both of them."

The bystanders, especially when sensing injustice, sided overwhelmingly with me.

Clyde looked furious, fixing his gaze on me.
