Chapter 1208
The police officers quickly ran outside to observe the source of the sound.
Madeline trailed them and saw there was a vase that had shattered at the grass below the bedroom.
The floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony was left open. The curtain was dancing along with the gentle wind.
“It’s very possible that Jeremy jumped down from the window to make his escape. You guys, hurry and go chase after him!” the leader quickly ordered his subordinates.
Madeline looked up to the balcony. She believed Jeremy had the ability and jumping skills. ‘But would he ‘accidentally’ break the vase and let everyone hear it?’
While she was deep in her thoughts, a familiar outline appeared in her peripheral vision.
Her eyes sparkled as she met the pair of deep-set eyes that belonged to Jeremy.
Madeline’s heart was pumping hard. Seeing Jeremy leaving from the main entrance, she quickly went up and deliberately blocked the officer who was leading the troop. “Sir, I sincerely believe that my husband would never kill anyone. I believe someone else is behind this.”
“I can understand how you feel, Mrs. Whitman, but we only look at the evidence.”
“But again, evidence can be forged. Otherwise, how did I end up being in prison for three years when I was innocent?”
“…”
The officer was speechless. He was also involved in Madeline’s case at that time. He could not argue back and only reminded her. “Mrs. Whitman, I believe you’re a person who obeys the law. If Mr. Whitman contacts you, I hope you’ll report it to us first thing. After all, this is a murder case.”
“I also believe that perhaps the truth will be revealed rather late, but it will still be revealed.” Madeline firmly believed it.
She believed the man she loved would never do things that would let her down.
After the police left, the reporters at the entrance were chased out by Karen as well.
It was almost evening. Madeline was accompanying Jackson and Lillian in the courtyard where they were having fun when her phone suddenly received a message from an unknown number.
In that message, there was only a short sentence. She was being invited to meet up at a certain place at seven o’clock.
Madeline looked at the clock and noticed there was still an hour before the agreed time.
She knew the police would send someone to keep a close eye on her. She turned on her car’s engine and intentionally went to the mall where she window-shopped for half an hour. She also bought her children’s favorite snacks.
Then, Madeline went to a dessert shop and sat there all by herself. She ordered some food before going to the female washroom.
She thought the police would not follow her into the washroom. After she entered, she put on a wig, wore a sexy outfit, and put on a pair of sunglasses before walking out.
After leaving the mall, Madeline was sure that she had shaken off those officers. Nevertheless, she heard fast footsteps approaching her hurriedly.
She reacted fast and spun around to look. Suddenly, a man appeared behind her and covered her mouth!
