Chapter 155: Come to pick up my wife
That voice was familiar, and when Julia looked in the direction where the voice came from, he saw the tall figure of a man.
‘Why is Jared here?‘
When Julia saw him, she noticed Jared’s stern face, which made his expression darken.
While she was staring at the man, Jared looked at her and strolled towards her using his long legs. “President Brooks?” The police officer stood up.
Although Jared seldom showed up, he came there several times because of Shiloh’s case, so almost all the staff in the police station knew him.
“Why are you here?” the policeman asked curiously.
Jared walked up to Julia’s side and touched her shoulder. It made her feel something.
“I’m here to pick up my wife.”
“Your wife?!”
The police officer’s eyes widened and followed Jared’s gaze to look at Julia, with shock and surprise in his eyes.
Now that what Jared said registered in their mind, they realized something. When Jared came in just now, he said he could prove his wife’s innocence.
“President Brooks, what you said just now, can you prove it? Please tell me the truth.”
Although Jared had renowned status and was the wealthiest man in Monroe City, as a public official, he had to deal with this kind of matter in a business–like manner.
“Yes.” Jared nodded. “She was with me last night.”
After saying that, Jared added another sentence. “She’s in my arms.”
Julia was speechless–scratch that, everyone was quiet. There was no need to say the latter sentence. They got what he was pertaining to.
“Ahem-” the policeman cleared his throat, “Mr. Brooks, yesterday’s case happened at one o’clock in the morning, and you were asleep then. If she got up secretly and went out, you wouldn’t know, would you?”
“Impossible,” Jared said in an unyielding tone.
Julia and the police officers looked at Jared almost simultaneously, thinking, how could the man
be so sure?
Especially Julia, to be honest, felt that there was nothing wrong with the analysis of the police officers. If she slipped out in the middle of the night, it would be very difficult for Jared to know and become a witness.
“Because…” he stopped and looked at the policeman seriously. “It’s inconvenient to say it here. I need to talk to you alone,” he added.
‘Why is it inconvenient here?‘ They couldn’t help but wonder. The police officers continued wondering why he could not just blurt the reasons out.
Could it be-
Everyone was already of the right age and thinking of the same thing. After all, it was just normal for couples to sleep together. It was likely that Jared could not just say the reason out loud.
