Chapter 922
Chapter 922 Die, Murderer!
Bianca quickly blocked Maxine's hand and said seriously, "We're in the police station now. Are you sure you want to slap her and get the lawyer to bail you out again?"
Maxine took her hand back in anger, and her eyes were wide open in anger. "Don't be so smug, Bianca Rayne. All you have is Luke helping you, but you keep on courting trouble for him. Sooner or later, Luke will tire of you, and your good life will cto an end!"
Bianca remained calm despite the instigation. She knew very well what Luke thought of her.
It did not matter what other people said.
Her clear eyes remained cold as she replied impassively, "I'll enjoy my good life for now, then. Also, Ms. Douglas, you're not that close with my husband, and it's more appropriate that you address him as 'Mr. Crawford.'"
Sue could not help but smile. Bianca seemed gentle and pliant, but she had a sharp tongue.
Seeing that Maxine's face had already turned beet-red, Sue added, "Sshameless women covet other women's husbands and think that it's a glamorous thing. Do they think that they can be closer to the man if she addresses him by his first name? How shameless. Looks like the filthy lockup cell hasn't taught her a lesson yet."
The police officer, tired of Maxine's torment, added, "Our cells are very hygienic." "Y... You!" Maxine was almost losing her mind from anger. She turned her head and looked at the lawyer.
The lawyer understood what she wanted. He walked up to Maxine and smelled the weird smell that Sue was talking about, though he reminded her, "Ms. Douglas, I can't do anything about it if they didn't nany names."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaxine stomped her foot. Since she could not do anything about Bianca, she could only leave.
She noticed the reporters waiting at the entrance and reflexively flinched. They thought that they were there to report on her.
She had a superior social status, and she could not lose her dignity in front of the media.
The lawyer followed her out and told her, "They're not here to report about you, Ms. Douglas?"
Maxine narrowed her eyes. She noticed that the reporters did not react when they saw her. After all, she was not as famous in A City. If not for Bianca, her nwould not have appeared in the newspapers.
"Why are they here?" She asked curiously. The crowd of reporters was not very big, nor was it very small.
"You don't know it because you've been detained. Mrs. Crawford is in the news lately, and she's the focus of attention of the entire A City."
After the lawyer explained the incident to her, she reached out. "Bianca Rayne? Lendyour phone."
Her phone was already out of battery, and she had to borrow the lawyer's phone.
The lawyer took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Maxine.
Maxine entered Bianca's nin the search bar, and many news articles popped out.
She briefly browsed through all of them, and a sinister smile appeared on her face. "Do they know that Bianca is inside?" "It looks like they don't," the lawyer guessed. "There would have been more reporters if they knew that Bianca Rayne was here. She must have cin through the side entrance.’
Maxine handed the phone back to the lawyer and said smugly. "I think that they're working quite hard to get the next story. How about you go and help them?" "Well..." The lawyer did not want to court trouble.
"I've heard that the contract between your firm and my dad's company is almost expiring. My dad hasn't been too satisfied with your performance. I can perhaps try and convince my father to extend the contract." Maxine bunched her hair together with her hand. She was disgusted by the amount of grime on her hand and wiped it away with a napkin.
"I'll be glad to help my friends in the media." The lawyer walked over.
After Bianca watched Maxine leave, she said to Sue seriously, "You don't have to speak up for me, Sue. I can handle it myself."
Maxine cfrom an influential family, and Sue was only a normal woman. Bianca did not want Sue to offend the Douglas family.
Sue knew Bianca's worries and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry about it. I find that pretentious woman disgusting and could not help but say something. It's already late, and I should go back to the company. You'd better get this settled soon; the company needs you." "Alright." Bianca nodded. Did you chere by cab?' "No, I drove here. I'll be leaving." Sue smiled at her and turned away.
Bianca turned to look at Sean. "Let's go, Mr. Zander." "Yes, Madam." Sean nodded.
They left through the side entrance. The car was parked near there.
Before Bianca could get into the car, the reporters that had been waiting there swarmed her.
"Bianca Rayne is here!" Someone shouted. Bianca's heart skipped a beat and instinctively took a step backward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCompared to the main entrance, only a single security guard was stationed at the side entrance.
Bianca was instantly surrounded by reporters from all directions.
Microphones, recording pens, and cameras all pointed at her.
Sean could only protect her from the front. "Step back, Madam.’
Bianca tried to move backward, but the reporter did not want her to leave. In the chaos, her foot was stepped on several times, and she could feel the pain spread throughout her body.
"Mrs. Crawford, do you know where Ms. Riley is?" "Mrs. Crawford, why are you at the police station? Are the rumors that you have murdered Ms. Riley true? Were you recording a statement?" "Mrs. Crawford, have the police found Ms. Riley's body? Did you do it? How did you get to leave the police station?" "Mrs. Crawford..."
Bianca tried to push away the microphones and cameras that were pointed at her. The camera flashes blinded her eyes.
The reporters were infuriated when they saw that Bianca did not answer their questions.
"Mrs. Crawford, why aren't you punished for your crimes? If the police already have the proof, why aren't you detained? Did Mr. Crawford or your father bribe the superintendent?" "No, no." Bianca could tolerate their slander, but she had to speak out when her husband and parents were implicated.
The reporters were like a swarm of piranhas, and they could only be satisfied after devouring her clean.
They clung onto her like maggots, and she could not shake them off.
Bianca tried to catch her breath.
The police officers soon cout of the side entrance and tried to drive the reporters off.
The police officers held batons, surrounding her while pushing away the reporters who tried to get close. Bianca was temporarily safe.
A reporter stumbled backward and nearly fell from being pushed. He hurled his microphone and shouted, "Why are you protecting that murderer? Die!"
