Love's Redemption

Redmption 4

I never thought that I would ever be arrested for indecency.

The boy that I had knocked down was a 17-year-old teenager. He insisted that I had bad intentions toward him. Even if I denied it, he still insisted that I touched him.

"Where did she touch you?" The police questioned very carefully.

The teenager's name was Yerick Massey. He looked at me, pointed at his chest, and then pointed below his waist. "She touched me here and here!"

What bullshit!

I almost cursed out loud. I had never even touched a man as handsome as Chris. Why would I touch a brat who hadn't even gone through puberty?

The police looked at me again.

"I didn't touch him," I denied it before he could even ask me. "I just accidentally bumped into him."

"Did you drink?" The police looked at me meaningfully.

In this society, it was normal for men to be drunk. Women who drank even a little were considered indecent.

I nodded. "I did."

"How much did you drink?"

I really didn't know what that question had to do with what was going on. Still, I obediently answered the question. "A bottle of beer."

When the policeman gave me a look of disbelief, I immediately thought of Lisa who could testify for me. But it just so happened that Lisa had sent me a message earlier that she had been called back to the hospital to save a bleeding woman in labor.

I understood what the police meant and explained again, "I was not drunk, and I did not take advantage of this brat while under the influence."

The policeman took note of my words and looked at Yerick again. "Are you sure she touched you? You will be held legally responsible if you lie and frame someone else."

"Of course I'm sure." Yerick was really stubborn.

I was so angry that I wanted to get up and beat him up.

Before I could put this idea into action, Yerick's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Jewel, you're here."

His parents had been notified because he was underage. I turned around and wanted to explain everything to his family, but before I could say anything, I was stunned when I saw the people who had arrived.

There was a man and a woman.

The woman had long and straight black hair, and she wore a white dress. She was the epitome of what a man's first love would look like. Her name was Jewel Massey. I knew her.

The man next to her was Chris.

"Yerick, what happened?" Jewel asked the teenager anxiously.

Yerick didn't answer her. Instead, he looked at Chris and said, "Jewel, he's my new brother-in-law, isn't he?"

Chris' expression froze, and his shocked eyes became icy when he looked at me.

"Madeline, what's going on here?" he demanded.

"Hey, brother-in-law, do you know this woman? I'm telling you, she's a hooligan! She touched me here and here…" Yerick was talking nonsense and performing at the same time.

At this moment, I no longer had the energy to explain. I just looked at Chris. He had only been away from me for a few hours, but he had now become someone else's brother-in-law.

And the answer to why he had left me in a hurry before seemed to be here.

Jewel, who was beside him, also looked at me before she introduced herself in a gentle voice, "Madeline, I'm Jewel, Yerick's older sister."

I was a little surprised that she recognized me. Oh, right. I was Chris' accessory and bootlicker. Anyone who knew him would know me.

But Jewel and I had never crossed paths. I knew that she was busy for three whole days because her husband had died in a car accident not long ago. As her husband's good friend, Chris had been busy with the funeral, and he didn't come home during those three days.

I swallowed the bitterness in my throat. "I accidentally knocked down your brother and landed on him. I didn't do the things he said."

"I know." Jewel smiled apologetically. "He's a mischievous one."

After that, Jewel walked over and slapped Yerick's head twice. She then explained to the police. The police also got surveillance to prove that I was not lying.

"Since the both of you know each other, you can discuss a settlement between yourselves. This kid will be detained and taught a lesson for making a false police report otherwise," the police said.

Jewel immediately tugged on Chris. Although it was a small movement, it felt very intimate.

As someone who was in a high position, Chris had an aura that kept strangers away. Normal people would not touch him like this. He didn't like others touching him either.

But at this moment, Jewel's touch did not make him feel uncomfortable. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time she had touched him.

There were things I didn't want to think deeply about. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

As for the settlement, I thought for a few seconds before opening my mouth. However, Chris had already spoken for me. "It's all a misunderstanding. Forget it."

I soon felt a tight grip on me as Chris pulled me out with him.
