His Ugly Bride novel Chapter 255

Jessica rolled her eyes and said, "You're not crazy. Why would you push Charlie?"

Summer nodded in agreement. "Yeah."

Jessica was very blunt.

Summer said absentmindedly, "Even you know that I couldn't do it. Why would Leonardo suspect me?"

"What? He suspects you?" Jessica asked in surprise.

Summer briefly told her what had happened yesterday.

Before Jessica could say anything, Carl, who was standing aside, said, "Is someone trying to set you up?"

Summer took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I think so. But I don't understand why Leonardo suspects me." Carl pondered in silence.

Jessica asked tentatively, "He should have his own reasons..."

"I don't know." Summer shook her head.

Jessica and Carl didn't stay long. They left after a while.

Jessica was able to visit the Emersons' old mansion thanks to Carl.

Besides, they visited Summer secretively. They couldn't stay any longer.

The moment they left, Leonardo returned.

The sight of him made Summer delighted.

However, she soon noticed the police behind Leonardo.

She turned to look at him.

But Leonardo ignored her. He looked at the police and said, "You can ask her now."

With his permission, a police officer walked over to Summer and said, "Mrs. Emerson, we are here to get your statement about what happened to Charlie Emerson yesterday."

The police were serious and professional. Summer was naturally very cooperative. "Alright.

"Your name and age."

"Summer. Twenty-three years old." After the New Year, she was twenty-three.

"Where were you 11:20 am yesterday when Charlie fell down the stairs?"

"I'm in the villa. On the stairs."

"What were you doing there?"

"A maid said that Charlie asked me to come over."

"What's her name?" "I don't know."

The policeman asked a lot of questions but finally they reached an impasse.

Summer did not know the maid. She did not have an alibi and no one could prove her innocence.

The policeman stood up and said very politely, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mrs. Emerson."

Summer nodded in silence.

When the police left, Summer and Leonardo were left alone.

Ever since Charlie's accident, Leonardo had spent most of his time in the hospital. Apart from the fight last night, they didn't talk to each other.

Leonardo suddenly said, "Were you telling the truth?"

"Of course? Do you think I was lying?"

Summer stood up with a smile, walked to Leonardo and stared at him. "If I were lying, wouldn't you be able to tell?"

Leonardo said expressionlessly, "People can disguise. I'm just a human. Of course, I make mistakes."
