Chapter 1322
“Take a deep breath, Ms. Pendleton. We’re just taking your statement in a regular
investigation. No need to let your emotions get the better of you, alright?” Captain Payne
soothed her.
Evelyn’s hands were clenched tightly on the tabletop, her knuckles whitening as she fought to suppress
the raging storm within. With a shaky breath, she replied, “I’m fine
now. Go on.”
“So, can you tell me everything that happened when you were with him?” Captain Payne inquired.
She recounted the days of her youth with Bruce, sparing no detail for Captain Payne.
Bruce had initially deceived her, claiming he was a bachelor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly after she had fallen head over heels did she discover not only was he married, but he was also
entangled with a wealthy woman.
Upon learning this, Evelyn decisively ended things with Bruce.
Later, under the pretense of providing her and her daughter Thalassa with a stable home, Bruce came
back, siphoning her money.
Captain Payne zeroed in on the crux of the matter, “How much money did he take from you in total?”
“Three million at first, and then it ballooned to one billion and thirty million,” Evelyn recounted.

“He did!” Evelyn asserted vehemently.
“Alright, that’s everything we need for now. Thank you for your cooperation,” Captain Payne said
politely.
With the statement complete, Evelyn finally relaxed a bit. She stood up and walked out of the
interrogation room.

mad dog.
“Evelyn, you backstabbing wench! Here you are to kick me while I’m down, huh? If you dare say a word
to the cops, I’ll end you! Don’t forget how you writhed beneath me not long ago!”
Bruce’s snarling face and clenched teeth conveyed a desperate wish to grab Evelyn and shake her
violently.
The police intervened in time to prevent him from getting close. Deeming him too unruly, one officer
delivered a sharp kick to Bruce’s knee, bringing him to the ground.
