Linda was struggling to stay on her feet, her neatly dressed appearance marred by disheveled hair. She clung to Tina for support, her legs unsteady.
Everyone present could easily grasped the situation at hand.
Seeing this, the reporters swiftly raised their cameras, capturing the unfolding drama.
Audrey and Evans stood at a distance, unable to decipher the murmured exchanges among the crowd.
All they knew was that the police officer had questioned Linda, who, instead of responding, locked eyes with Jerry.
Jerry's face contorted with rage, and he lunged at Linda, only to be restrained by the police.
Subsequently, they engaged in further discussion. Due to the overwhelming presence of reporters, the police detained the agitated Jerry. They entrusted Tina and her mother with Linda's care before departing.
Audrey and Evans positioned themselves along the exit route.
As Linda passed by, her eyes widened upon seeing Audrey. "Audrey, it's you.
You orchestrated this, didn't you? How can you be so ruthless?"
Her voice wasn't low, and everyone around her heard her. Immediately, everyone's gazes landed on Audrey.
Audrey had been in a similar situation in her past, surrounded by reporters. When the camera lenses focused on her, she instinctively raised her hand to shield her face.
However, just as she raised her hand, she felt a firm grip on her wrist, pulling her back.
Audrey looked up in surprise.
Evans' tall figure stood in front of her, one hand still firmly holding her wrist.
"Miss, think carefully before you speak," Evans uttered in a cold tone.
Linda didn't recognize him initially. Though familiar with Evans' face, his pink bear mask didn't match his usual vibe.
Hence, she did not dare to recognize him at first, But when he spoke, she realized who he was.
Immediately, she looked at Audrey in surprise.
From the looks of it, Evans was clearly helping Audrey.
When had Audrey grown so close to Evans?
Linda's eyes flickered with realization, and she quickly pieced it together.
The world knew Evans as a solitary figure with a distant demeanor, his closest friend being Abner.
It was apparent that Audrey had forged a connection with Evans through Abner, a fact not lost on Linda.
Huh!
Linda couldn't suppress a bitter smile deep within. She remarked, "I recall a time when you were unwavering, making me believe you had truly changed. In the end, was it all to appease your brother? You've become quite adept, haven't you? Not only did you win over your brother, but you also..."
"Linda!" Audrey suddenly interrupted her.
Audrey knew Linda inside and out, understanding her thoughts all too well.
With a throng of reporters nearby, any revelation about Evans' identity could spell trouble.
What's more, if Linda caused any complications for Evans in the future, Evans might end up blaming her for what Linda had done.
For instance, if the wealthy young women who admired Evans believed Linda's words, her future would be far from peaceful.
"You're an adult, Linda. Consider your words carefully," Audrey cautioned, mindful of the police officers and reporters in their midst.
Certain matters were best left unspoken, especially in this public setting.
While Linda wasn't known for her intelligence, she wasn't foolish enough to ignore the warning.
She had witnessed Audrey's inability to contain her anger before, but when she met Audrey's gaze, a sudden calm washed over her.
In this precarious situation, some truths were better left unsaid.
Dragging Audrey into this would only lead to her own downfall. After all, she had arranged the glass of water and reserved the room.
Once the truth emerged, not only would she incur the wrath of the Rick Family, but she might also antagonize the Lance Family.
If Audrey's relationship with Abner had genuinely improved and Abner decided to assist her. Linda knew that it would be the end of her life.
Despite her reluctance, as long as she persisted in shifting the blame onto Jerry, she remained the victim.
She knew which was the right decision.
The police officers overheard Linda's words and halted to inquire, "Who is this?
Is she related to this case?"
Linda quickly shook her head and said, "No, officer, she's just a friend of mine. I got overly excited when I saw her earlier."
The police officer obviously didn't believe her. Why did Linda's supposed friends seem so hostile?
Linda could tell that the police officer didn't believe her. She suddenly let out a low cry and clutched her chest, panting.
