Breaking his hold on her hand, she turned and walked out of the police station.
Just as she turned around, she was held again by Charlie, who was staring at her with deep, restrained eyes, and there was a sense of hardness in her palm. She then saw him give her the car keys he carried in his pants pocket.
"Sunny and I will just talk to each other for a few minutes and be done!"
Charlie curled up her hand and said in her ear in a quiet voice, "You wait for me in the car."
Wendy didn't respond, but she nodded her head slightly.
However, when she was in a hurry to go out with Charlie, she didn't bring her cell phone with her, and she wanted to take his cell phone and use it first, so she reached out and tugged on the hem of his suit. The corners of her mouth were moved, and before she could say anything, he lifted his arms and held her in his arms.
Then, Charlie lowered his head and kissed her on the corner of her eye with his thin lips. He said in an almost tempting tone, "Wendy, good girl!"
"..." Wendy blushed.
She didn't mean that...
She didn't expect him to make such a sudden move in front of Madge. Although she didn't look up, the gaze of Madge standing opposite her was almost burning, so she had to swallow her words. She turned red-faced and ran away clutching the car keys.
Charlie's line of sight followed her all the way out of the gate of the police station.
Madge stood at the side and watched coldly. Her long fingernails were almost crushed by her. The two of them were so close as if no one was watching them. They didn't consider her feelings at all. It was as if there was a fire of jealousy burning in her heart.
When Charlie slowly took his sight back, Madge still wore a smile on her face, even though she was very angry.
She took two steps forward, so that she could get closer to him.
The tall, strong figure standing in front of her blocked out a lot of sunlight, and for the four years that he hadn't recovered his memory, she was the one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him in name only, but now, it took a lot of effort to reach him even if she wanted to see him and say a few words to him.
It's like a stolen happiness that had to be given back all at once!
The hand she hid behind her back squeezed tighter as the ravine in her heart turned a thousand times.
After a little compilation of her emotions, she first frowned, then asked with some hesitation and gravity, "Charlie, did Yolanda really do it? Has all the evidence been conclusively established? I was shocked when I learned the general situation from the police. It's so unbelievable that she did such a thing!"
"Don't judge a book by its cover." Charlie said quietly.
Madge's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't know if it was because of the ghosts in her heart, but she actually felt that he wasn't just talking about Yolanda.
"Yeah!" Madge nodded in agreement, with a look of disbelief on her face, "I used to think that this girl was just spoiled and simple- minded, but I didn't expect that she was so gloomy in her heart! It probably had something to do with the bankruptcy of the Lim family, and there was always a change in her state of mind. But what she did is still too terrible! Charlie, you are right, don't judge a book by its cover!"
Charlie looked at her face and said in a low voice, "Sunny, thank you for what happened this time."
"If you hadn't given us a clue as to where the motorcycle was hiding, we wouldn't have been able to figure it out so quickly!"
