Chapter 277
Love Is Fair
Chapter 277 He had Been Cheated on for Years As soon as Owen arrived at the police station, a cop led him in âItâs a hot summer day and you are still wearing a suit Donât you feel hot?â When seeing Owen, Lucas, the leader there glanced at him with confusion Looking at Lucasâs dirty white shirt, his greasy hair, and his beard, Owen frowned tightly âHave you fallen into a dustbin?â
Lucas was one of the rich in North City, who had been Owenâs friend since childhood His family was wealthy and influential. He was born to be rebellious. Although he was strong and had joined the army, he didnât join Dragon Special Force for some reason. After he returned from the front line, he was allocated to the police station. Now as the leader, he didnât wear the uniform.
There was a cigarette between his teeth. He would look like a villain without the expensive watch on his wrist and the luxury belt on his waist. However, he already solved many big cases and got lots of awards.
âNo I was asked to solve a case in Nalence and I just came back here. You know, I have no time to take a shower now because of the explosion,â said Lucas, who approached Owen and pointed at his own eyes. âLook. I have deep black circles, which almost reach my nose.â
Owen nearly fainted because of Lucasâs odor. Frowning tightly, he pushed him away. âStay away from me.â
Lucas felt hurt. âSo you dislike me now? But we have been friends for years.â
Owen was always cold and aloof so he didnât have many friends. Matthew and Lucas were his best friends After chatting casually for a while, they became serious about the case. Lucas led Owen to the interrogation room. Although they were standing outside the room, there was just a glass wall in front of them and they could see clearly what happened in the room.
Eliza was there. To Owenâs surprise, she didnât look miserable; instead, she was still graceful and elegant from her head to her toe. She was wearing a red long dress with a gold necklace on her neck and a gold bracelet on her wrist. There were also a jade bracelet and a sapphire ring, which kept twinkling. Her hair used to be straight and now it was curly, showing her maturity and sexiness âWhat the hell! Is she really Eliza?â Lucas was stunned. He had met Eliza in childhood and had known about the relationship between Owen and her. Actually, almost all the rich men in their circle considered her a fairy who was innocent and even holy. But Lucas always thought that she was a hypocrite. He still remembered the candy once licked by her was finally given as a gift to others, but he didnât tell Owen about it in order not to hurt Owenâs pride. Actually, he had looked forward to Owen and Elizaâs breakup and even alienated her for a long time. After Owen broke up with Eliza, Lucas met him in a bar. While drinking, he told Owen all the secrets he had kept for years. Both of them had experienced a lot together, so their friendship was firm.
Lucas hadnât met Eliza for a long time. It was a bit difficult for him to believe that the woman in the interrogation room was Eliza. âWhy does she look like a stripper?â He frowned and looked at Owen who was poker-faced. He asked the cop next to him in a deep voice, âWhat has she told? Has she said the identity of the culprit?â
The cop looked at Lucas who was spraying some smoke into his mouth.
âWhy are you staring at me? Just tell me what is going on,â said Lucas The cop replied with a frown. âShe still refuses to tell us anything. She behaves arrogantly.â
Owen frowned tightly as well âOh my God. She is so arrogant Staring at Eliza through the real-time video, Brook was annoyed by her. Now only he and Hailey were in the ward, so he held his temper and said whatever he wanted to say.
With her eyes fixed on the screen, Hailey noticed that Eliza showed her bracelet from time to time together with her ring and the gold necklace it was obvious that Eliza wanted to show off her wealth. It seems that Eliza has got lots of benefits from the man and now she totally stands by his side The cop in the room asked, âWhatâs the relationship between you and âMr. Joe?â
âOh, you want to know about that Touching the sapphire on her finger, she smiled. âYes, we have a relationship.â
âSo what kind of relationship?â
âOh, you are so annoyed I think you just got the answer, right? I donât want to speak it out so frankly.â
There was a flash of shyness across her face. âHe and I are both adults. We have a fling. Isnât that common? You are busy with cases every day, right? I guess you have no time to make a girlfriend. Have you had sex with a girl?â
Her questions made the cop quite embarrassed and the cop patted the desk to stop her. He shouted, âBe serious.â Outside the interrogation room, Lucas almost choked on the smoke. He spat and said, âWhat the fuckâ He then turned to Owen. âIf you werenât here, you wouldnât believe that she is such kind of woman. Everyone considers her as an angel, but actually, she isnât decent at all*
Owen was not in a good mood. His eyes were deep without emotions. He had done some investigations on her. At that time, he saw her bully some girls with her foreign friends by forcing the girls to kneel and slapping them on the face. He even heard her often speak the bad language. Therefore, he had long known her true self. âShe has worn a mask of elegance and innocence in front of me for so many years. But she made it. I was cheated on by her and even lost the woman who truly loved me. I just lost the only chance to live a happy life.â
In the ward, Brook shouted again, âWhat a woman! I now want to ask Owen to come here and watch the woman. He really needs to know about her true self. How could he love her for so many years and even divorce you for her? Is he blind?â
Hailey narrowed her eyes. Even the little mole under her eye showed her coldness and indifference.
âThe cop canât keep asking her like that. She wonât tell anything,â said she coldly. âSuch an interrogation is too mild. Brook, the police should set her free after 24 hours.
Please arrange for someone to stay at the gate and once she appears, just catch her.â Despite the calmness on her face, she looked extremely cold. âWe can interrogate her.â
Outside the interrogation room, Owen said slowly, âYou will get nothing useful from her if you keep asking her like that.â
âYou are right. If she were not a woman, I would rush in and beat her, shouted Lucas angrily.
The cop next to him apparently didnât believe his words. âSir, you have said it before. But you have never beaten a male suspect.â Lucas frowned. âReally?â
The cops all nodded. âYes.â
Lucas was speechless.
While they were discussing, Owen cut in, âLet me in. I want to talk with her.â
Lucas was shocked. âWhat?â
Owen looked at him coldly. âI said, let me do the interrogation.â
