When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 107



Freya might not have been tall, but her stance as a police officer gave her an air of unwavering justice.

Clyde's face darkened as he released his grip. "Officer, I just wanted a word with her."

Freya scoffed, "A word about what? It seemed to me that you were abusing someone."

Jade and I exchanged glances, finding Freya's unreasonable yet adorable demeanor amusing.

Clyde stepped forward, clearly displeased. "Officer, I was merely speaking to my wife. Is that something the police need to get involved in?"

"Your wife? Oh, how could I forget? I thought the woman you hugged at the station, Ms. Osborne, was your wife!" Her voice was loud enough to catch the attention of many shoppers around us, even amidst the midday crowd.

Unphased, she even raised her voice a bit more. "I've seen you at the station several times, and you never stood by Melanie. Now you're sticking with her. What for? Divorce? It's not to prove her innocence, huh? The cyber unit saw through the video as a fake in a heartbeat, and you're telling me the tech department at Patterson Group couldn't?"

Perhaps Freya was one of those cynical cops, bursting like a firecracker with indignation.

Clyde was speechless, caught off guard by Freya's questioning.

"Officer, did you need something from me?" Wanting to ease the tension, I quickly pulled Freya aside.

She glanced at me. "Aren't you, the person involved, going to report this?"
