Chapter 124: The Tricks of Joanna.
The information on the scene of the car accident becomes more and more detailed, but every detail confirms that the person who hit Jacquiline is Alice.
Even the video surveillance of nearby businesses and public houses all shows the person is Alice. Although the pictures are not high-definition, it can be seen that the woman is Alice.
Alice is still in prison. Edward is anxious when he thinks of that Alice's terrible experiences when she was in the prison last time. This time the Hale family's attitude to the police station is very tough. It is undoubtedly not a wise idea that Edward uses his own strength to fight the entire law.
Therefore, he can only change to another way to rescue Alice.
The best and most effective way is to let Jacquiline say that it is not Alice who hit her.
But...
Jacquiline also believes that the person who hit her is Alice. With his mother being Jacquiline's side, he can't persuade Jacquiline to help Alice.
So he has to resort to detailed evidence to prove Alice's innocent.
But no matter how much information he checks, it can't prove Alice's innocent.
"Check that car. Go to the dealership to check if there is another car as the same as the car!" Edward gives the order coldly.
"Yes, sir." Allen sighs secretly. He goes on working. In fact, with the current situation, it is a certainty that Miss Alice has to stay at the jail for three years, but Mr. Edward insists on going against the fact, unless the Hale family is willing to let Miss Alice go.
As soon Allen opens the door, he sees a graceful woman standing outside. He is taken aback for a moment. Speak of the devil here she is.
"Hello, Miss Joanna."
"Is Edward inside?"
Hearing that, Allen steps back, turns to the desk, and says in a respectful and low voice, "Mr. Edward, Miss Joanna is here."
Hearing the name of Joanna, Edward shows impatience. He is about to say that he is busy, but he pauses for a moment when he thinks of something. He says, "Let her come in."
Allen freezes for a moment, thinking if he has heard it wrong.
Seeing Edward squinting, he quickly bows to Joanna and says respectfully, "Miss Joanna, please come in. I'll bring a cup of tea for you."
Allen leaves the office wisely, leaving his boss to face Joanna.
Joanna dresses up specially to see Edward. Originally, she has beautiful appearance. With a youthful little dress and her fair skin, she looks more beautiful and charming. She walks towards the desk with demeanor. Her eyes are full of anticipation and unstoppable love. Since seeing Edward for the first time, she has made a decision that she must get him.
She spends several years approaching him step by step. She drives all the women around him away. She successfully wins the favor of Janet. She tries all her best but can't get Edward's heart.
"What's the matter?" His tone is as cold and distant as usual.
If he treats every woman like this, Joanna might not be so unhappy. But he just gives all his tenderness to Alice. It makes Joanna want to destroy Alice.
Just thinking of her purpose of coming, Joanna smiles. Thanks for which Edward cares about Alice so much, otherwise her purpose won't be achieved.
"I heard that you are trying to save Alice out recently."
Hearing this, Edward frowns and stares at Joanna, "What do you want from me?"
Looking at his expression of being vigilant to her, compared with his expression of worrying about Alice, Joanna hates Alice even more. But Joanna has to smile, "Edward, you know I likes you so much, so how could it be possible that I'll do things you don't like?" Edward smiles disdainfully.
Joanna's face stiffens. A trace of hatred flashes in her eyes. But she hides it so well. She whispers in a lowly humble tone, "Edward, I love you so much. You really don't want to be with me?"
"I only love Alice. The only person who can be my wife is her." Edward says bluntly, ignoring Joanna's angry expression. For him, Alice is the most important than everything.
But he never expects that it is precisely because of his care that Alice gets into trouble again and again.
"Really? She is in jail now. Are you still waiting for her? Not only did she betray you back then, she dared to drive the car to hit Jacquiline now. Do you still want such a woman?" Joanna asks him questions by questions. She stares at Edward. Watching his angry eyes, not only she is not afraid, but she feels happy.
Originally, she hates Edward, hating him for being cruel to herself, hating him for indifference to herself.
"It's not Alice who hit Jacquiline!"
"All the evidence proves that Jacquiline was hit by her. No matter what you think out solutions, she has to be in prison!"
Joanna says ruthlessly, just wanting to see Edward admitting his mistake to her, "Don't you love her very much? Seeing her in jail, but you have no ways. How do you feel?"
Edward is so furious. When he sees Joanna's gloating expression, he is even more angrily, "Get out!"
After hearing what Edward said, Joanna holds back her arrogant expression. It will be not good for her if she really irritates Edward, let alone...
"Edward, as long as you promise to marry me, I can persuade my Dad to release Alice."
Edward can't help but laughing in a low voice. He only feels that Joanna is ridiculous. After making so much trouble, she is for this. How dares she!
"You can say no. But you can think about how she will spend three years in jail alone without her children and family. Can she survive? I heard that many people will commit suicide if they can't stand it, or they may suffer depression. Tsk-tsk, I really don't want to see her become like that." Joanna expresses a pity for Alice. She looks at Edward with satisfaction.
If it had been before, Edward would resolutely drive Joanna out. But the frustration over the past few days makes him clearly understand that it is not so easy to help Alice clear of the charge.
The longer he spends, the more disadvantaged it is for Alice.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Originally, he is going to the police station to visit Alice today, but she refuses to see him. He is told that she doesn't want to see him. She says that she has nothing to do with him.
Recalling Alice's indifference towards him during this period of time, Edward feels hurt, but he still can't help but wanting to protect her and rescue her.
"Edward, think about it carefully. I'll give you three days. After you make the decision, just call me." Joanna sees Edward hesitating. Joanna can't help but feeling happy. She shows the gentle and considerate expression on her face.000
