Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 394

When Rina saw Sonia and Zane, she naturally felt a pang of guilt and fear. Without realizing what she was doing, she took a step back and lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with them. She was afraid to look at them, which was typical behavior of someone who was guilty. Zane was positive that Rina was the one who had attacked Sonia.

He eyed her coldly. “Why are you hiding? Shouldn’t you greet your bosses when you see them?”

Upon hearing his words, Rina felt a sharp pain in her chest, and she lowered her head even more. I can’t believe I bumped into Sonia and Zane here. I’d be able to handle the situation if I bumped into Sonia alone, but Zane... Rina bit her lip as a strong sense of panic filled her insides.

She had feelings for Zane. She had fallen for him when she met him after she first came to Seafield. It was her first time seeing a man who looked so gorgeous and perfect. However, she knew that she was no match for him and that he’d never fall for a girl like her. So, she had no choice but to conceal her feelings so that he wouldn’t find out about it.

Although she had never dreamt of being with him, she still hoped that she would leave an impression on him. In order to do so, she spent most of her time learning all sorts of skills to improve herself. She hoped that she would be able to change his perception of her someday. She wanted him to see her as an elegant swan instead of an ugly duckling who came from some village. Maybe I would match up to his standards someday. Maybe I would have the right to be with him someday, right?

However, after Zane found out that she had harmed Sonia, things were clear from his icy voice and attitude. He obviously despised her. Rina couldn’t bring herself to accept his hatred—she was fine if Sonia or anyone else hated her, but she simply couldn’t accept the fact that Zane hated her as well. At that thought, tears welled up in Rina’s eyes.

She looked up and stared at Zane. “Mr. Coleman, I—”

“Alright, Zane. Let’s go in for now. We can talk in the station,” Sonia uttered all of a sudden. Sonia had interrupted Rina’s words with a harsh tone. Zane nodded and stepped forward to push Sonia’s wheelchair. “You can wait for us in the car,” he said to Rebecca.

“Okay.” Rebecca nodded. She was fine with that arrangement as she had never been fond of police stations. She had too much blood on her hands. Even though it was all blood of the dead, she would still feel guilty if she entered a police station.

Zane wheeled Sonia into the station without looking at Rina at all. Rina stood still and bit her lower lip as she stared at Zane and Sonia’s backs, then clenched her fists silently.

Meanwhile, Rebecca lit up a slim cigarette and took a long, tasty drag in the car. She eyed Rina with a slight smirk on her face. I can’t believe this woman fell for Zane, she thought as she curled her lips upward.

How interesting!

Rina seemed to have sensed Rebecca’s eyes on her, for she turned around to glance in Rebecca’s direction. Rebecca had eyes that seemed to peer into one’s soul, and Rina was flustered when she locked eyes with Rebecca. Rina hastily lowered her head before hurrying into the station.

When she got to the interrogation room, Rina found Zane, Sonia, and Alice waiting for her. Her expression darkened as she realized what had happened. So, Alice was the one who snitched on me. I just don’t know how the police managed to find me.

“Zane!” Sonia tugged on Zane’s sleeve, and Zane looked down at her. “What is it?”

“How did Taylor respond when she saw Alice?” Sonia asked in a hushed tone. The police had sent officers to bring Alice over from Tim. Since Alice was just a scapegoat and not the actual person who attacked Sonia, Sonia told Tim that he didn’t need to let Alice try the medication. Sonia simply got him to have Alice locked up temporarily.
