belated marriage

Chapter 278 Listen to Me Explain
Regarding his words, Lin Chuqi neither admitted nor denied, but just looked at him indifferently.

"Actually, I'm really sorry about what happened this time. Alyssa is my sister who I grew up with. She did something wrong, and I can't absolve myself of the blame."

Lin Chuqi still pursed her lips, looked at him quietly, and did not speak.

On the surface, it seemed that he was listening carefully, but in fact, none of his words really hit her ears, and even his words didn't even stir up the slightest wave in her heart.

After Wells finished speaking, there was a brief silence between the two, and the atmosphere was awkward and weird.

Looking at the picture in front of her, she unconsciously remembered what Mo Tingyuan and Song Qianyu had said to her.

Stay away from Wells.

It is best not to have any intersection with him.

When they all said this, their tone was serious, their expressions were dignified, with vague worries.

"Seventh day?"

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Wells couldn't help but whispered.

Lin Chuqi came back to her senses, closed her eyes to cover up the fleeting strangeness in her heart, and gave him a forced smile, saying, "En."

Wells stared at her for a long time before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

Realizing that Wells was staring at him for a long time, Lin Chuqi hurriedly looked away, and said lightly, "Mr. Wells, if you came today just to express your apology..."

She paused for a moment, then turned her head to look out the window, "Then I have accepted your sincerity, and now I am going to take care of my father, excuse me."

"Wait." Wells suddenly grabbed her wrist, stopping her movement.

Lin Chuqi looked down at his hands holding her wrists, then raised her head to look at him.

"Anything else?"

Wells released her, looked her in the eyes and said, "Our relationship can still..."

"Huh? Our relationship? Our relationship will never change, but just friends from beginning to end, isn't it?"

Lin Chuqi interrupted him directly, and said in a calm manner.

His eyes were dim, but he quickly returned to normal color, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end it only turned into a shallow sigh, and said: "Okay, I understand."

What she said was very clear. From now on, the relationship between the two of them can only be a simple friendship. Apart from that, there is no other relationship.

Seeing him like this, Lin Chuqi didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Wells, is there anything else?"

He shook his head and said, "No, then you go and pay attention to your body."

Originally, she didn't want to stay any longer, but since Wells had already said so, she naturally went down the steps.

"If you have nothing else to do, please come back."

She nodded, then walked upstairs towards Father Lin's bedroom.

Wells looked at her back, his deep blue pupils dimmed slightly.

The moment she turned to leave, the gentle smile on his face completely faded away, replaced by a gloomy and austere one.

The knuckles of his right hand clenched into a fist are white, the veins are protruding, the nails are deeply embedded in the flesh, and bright red blood beads ooze out, but it seems unknown, only the eyes full of hostility are getting more and more scarlet.

Staring at the position of the stairs.

Lin Chuqi...

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, slowly let go of his hands hanging by his sides, turned around, and walked towards the door.

On the second floor, Lin Chuqi stood in front of the bedroom window, looking down at his car passing away, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

She let out a foul breath, leaned against the cold wall, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself down.

It has been three days since Alyssa was arrested. During the period, the police station came to her several times and asked her the motive and time of the crime, but every time she denied it and refused to cooperate with the police. investigation.

She had always believed that Wells would come to rescue her. Although the relationship between the siblings was not very good, she was always his sister.

Even if it's not for blood relationship, for the reputation of F Group, we should find a way to get her out!
What's more... he was about to become Mrs. Luo, how could he be willing to abandon such a pawn with huge profits like himself!
Thinking of this, Alyssa finally felt a little better in her heart.

But things went against her expectations. She had been detained for three days. For such a long time, Wells seemed to have disappeared without any news at all.

Why hasn't my cousin come yet?
She couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and her heart beat suddenly accelerated.

No!

She can't sit still.

She had to find a way to escape.

She has to find a way out for herself as soon as possible.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

No matter how eagerly Alyssa wanted to get rid of the status quo, it turned out that in this environment, she had no possibility of escaping at all, let alone finding a chance!
The security measures in the police station are so tight that even a mosquito cannot fly in, let alone a living person who wants to fly out!

Before she could practice her ideas, she was picked up early in the morning on the fourth day.

"Where are you taking me again? Let me go!"

"Let's go." The policeman stretched out his hand and dragged her out as he spoke, without any intention of pity.

Alyssa was terrified and struggled desperately.

But in the end, he couldn't escape the ending of being pressed to the court for trial.

in court—

The judge struck the hammer and announced: "Defendant Alyssa is sentenced to arrest and imprisonment for intentional homicide starting today, and she will serve five years in prison!"

Hearing that she was about to be sentenced to five years in prison, Alyssa's eyes widened in a daze, and she dared not say anything: "Your Honor, I appeal! I was wronged! I can't serve my sentence!"

The bailiff next to him frowned and slammed on the table, "No noise in the courtroom!"

Alyssa suddenly came back to her senses, looked at the judge who was barely above him, and cried, "I was framed, I was really framed!"

The judge's hand knocking on the table suddenly stopped, and his eyes shot sharply at Alyssa.

"You are a suspect, and all the evidence points to you! How dare you argue now?"

Alyssa bit her lip, "No, I don't know who put those things..."

"The evidence is convincing, you can't quibble!"

"... "

When she was escorted out of the court, she froze.

In the distance, a familiar tall figure flashed past, and she looked intently.

Sure enough, it was Wells!
Alyssa looked at him with great joy, and subconsciously wanted to call his name loudly, but for some reason, her throat seemed to be blocked at this time, and she couldn't make any sound.

However, although she couldn't make a sound, Wells still noticed her, glanced at her indifferently, and left without saying a word.
