"She can't be Angeline Severe, though?" Jack howled suddenly. "Angeline Severe died nine years ago."
The law enforcement officers shared a suspicious look, their gazes fleeting between Jack and Angeline.
"One of the two of you are lying."
Jack pointed at Angeline. "It’s her. She’s the liar. She’s not Angeline Severe. You can check her files, officer.”
Right as the law enforcement officer took out his phone to enlist the help of another department, Angeline quickly stepped up to interrupt.
Approaching Mr. Carter who stood next to Jack, Angeline reached for the transparent file in his hands. She took out a marriage certificate and handed it to the officer.
"TH cut you some trouble. Take a look at the date on m y husband and I's marriage certificate. That should tell you if I'm the Ares family's daughter-in-law or not."
Then, she opened to show the first page of the certificate where the law enforcement officers could see the beautiful smile of a lady with bright eyes. She was huddled closely with Jay, and her features were a replica of the lady before them.
On the certificate were the words 'Angeline Severe’ printed clearly, and the marriage certificate was dated
two years ago.
The officer returned the certificate to Angeline. "My apologies, Miss Severe. It seems like there has been a mistake."
Then, they turned to speak exasperatedly to Jack, " Apologies, but we cannot take your case, Sir. Now if you would excuse us."
Jack refused to surrender and instead blocked the officer’s path with a bitter plea. "You have to believe m e. She can't be Angeline Severe."
The law enforcement officer replied, "I’d suggest that you establish a new case if you suspect this woman for impersonating your daughter-in-law. Only after confirming that she’s indeed a fraud can we take up the issue of Mr. Grayson illegally holding your son captive.”
Jack's expression darkened. The rigidity and fairness of the law had thrown cold water over his eager plans.
