Everyone turned to Rosaline in shock. She was terribly pale. They knew that the police wouldnât make the effort to arrest her if they did not have solid evidence.
The arrest basically confirmed that Rosaline had been involved in contract killing.
Rosalineâs ears rang at the sight of the shiny handcuffs on her wrists. Her vision went black in despair.
What happened? Why did it end in this way? She had hired a reliable hitman, who was paid handsomely, to get rid of Lianaâs out-of-wedlock daughter.
The murder even happened abroad. How did the authorities find out about it?
âRosie! Rosie!â Andrew was horrified byhis wifeâs arrest. He ran over to stop the policemen. However, he suddenly blacked out, collapsing while grimacing and clutching his chest.
âCall the ambulance!â Javier franticallyrequested help to move Andrew to a corner.
Meanwhile, Landon was dumbfounded by the situation. He gasped, âFuck!Fuck! Bro, your ex-mother-
in-law is arrested for murder! Thatâs the juiciest gossip of the night!â
Jasper watched the developments indifferently without any intention to help the Gardners.âItâs only fair to pay for what you did.â
Rosaline was led away by the police officers in plain view of the guests. When she walked pa st Liana, she gave her daughter a teary last look.
Liana finally broke down when she saw her motherâs look.âDonât take her away! She did not kill anyone!
Mom!â
Sobbin g and wailing, she did not run far before she heard the ruffle of fabric. She sensed a cooling touch on her skin as people around her gasped.
The ha ute co uture dress she forcefully put on with tape had slipped off her body as the tape was no longer adhesive due to her sweat. She only had a strapless, backless adhesive br a and panty on as her nude body was shamefully exposed in public.
âAh!â Liana curled up and protected herchest with her arms while dying from shame. Sophia seethed at the unsalvageable situation and regretted hosting the embarrassing birthday party for Liana.
Betty was elated at Lianaâs reputational damage as she watched the drama, sipping on red wine. She couldnât stop herself from smiling. Some nasty men had started filming Liana.
âTsk tsk. Her body is so-so. Bro, thebreakup is not a loss for you.âLandon rested his el bow on Jasper with a mocking expression.
Jasperâs decades of relationship with Liana had turned into an outrageous joke. Staring at his feet, he seemed to have lost hope and turned to leave.
Drowning in hopelessness, Liana stood up and ran after him. âJasper!â
She momentarily forgot that she was clothless and unwittingly exposed her almost nude body by standing up.
âLord! Look at her belly! What are thoselines?â
âIt looks like stretch marks!â
âI can tell they are stretch marks rightaway because I gave birth twice!â
âOh my God! How dare she act like aninnocent young lady when she has given birth to a kid? Sheâs disgusting!â
âPoor Mr. Beckett! He almost got into ahuge mess. Thank goodness heâs making a U-turn!â
Lianaâs dream of becoming Mrs. Beckett went up in a puff of smoke. Everything she worked hard for had gone down the drain.

Jasper dragged himself down the corridor with heavy steps and a g rim look. Landon walked beside him and was about to speak a few times but couldnât get his words out.
