My Supermodel Wife

Mellie just stared at Lilia without saying anything for a few moments. Her eyes were fixed on the model's expression, as if waiting for her to change her mind. But when Lilia looked back at her confidently, Mellie slightly smiled.

The short haired woman raised her coffee cup as she asked, "Why are you so sure that I am a member of the Irwan Family?"​​

"Intuition." Lilia answered without hesitation.

Hearing that answer, Mellie's laughter suddenly exploded. Her loud laughter made the cafe visitors turn their head towards them. Mellie's sudden movement shook her coffee cup, making her hands splash with hot coffee. The woman hurriedly put her cup back on the table as she wiped her tears.

"Aah, I didn't expect that kind of answer at all. Because your answer is so comforting to me, then I will be honest with you." Mellie's gaze turned serious, "You're right, I was once part of the Irwan Family."

"Once?" Lilia tilted her head when she caught that word.

"I'm no longer the daughter of the Irwan Family." Mellie smiled bitterly, "To be precise, I died five years ago. Now I'm just a ghost from the past."

Lilia's heart ached when she saw the sadness behind Mellie's smile. She leaned over and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"

A look full of conflict crossed Mellie's face. It wasn't easy for her to talk about her past, but somehow, she felt that Lilia deserved to know.

"I…"

When the policemen walked over, Lilia ignored them. She assumed that they were here to enjoy coffee like normal people. But apparently, she was wrong.

Without saying anything, two policemen immediately arrested Mellie and handcuffed her hands. The incident happened so fast that neither Lilia nor Mellie had time to react.

When the policemen pulled Mellie to her feet, Lilia suddenly realized. She jumped to her feet and protested, "Sir, aren't you arresting the wrong person?!" 

Lilia didn't understand why the police suddenly arrested Mellie. What did that woman do?! She just sat here and drank coffee like a normal person!

One of the policemen glared at Lilia, but his expression immediately turned shocked. He took turns looking at the faces of the model and Mellie's, as if they were matching something. Then the policeman narrowed his eyes with suspicion.

"What is your relationship with this woman?" The high-ranking officer asked her harshly.

Hearing that, Mellie immediately rebelled against the grip of the two policemen, "We just happened to meet! I don't even know who that woman is!" She said aloud

In her heart, Mellie cursed her stupidity. How could she be this careless? She was so happy that she was going to meet Lilia that she didn't even notice she was being followed by the police! That was the only explanation why they caught her so quickly!

Technically, a debt collector like Mellie was not recognized as a legal job. Coupled with their tendency to resort to violence, people in this profession were often arrested by the police. This wasn't the first time they had arrested Mellie. But she didn't want to drag Lilia into her troubles!

The cop tightened his grip on Mellie while glaring at her, "Shut up! I didn't ask you!" He snapped.

But because Mellie didn't stop fighting, the cop lost his temper. He handed the woman to his subordinates while ordering, "Take her out of here!"

"Hey, wait! Listen to my word, damn it!" Mellie continued screaming and swearing as she was dragged outside into the police car.

However, as soon as Mellie saw who was in the car, she immediately fell silent. Weren't they all her men?! Why were they also caught by the police?!

"Captain..." Herri called in a pitiful voice.

One of the policemen who brought Mellie to the car laughed derisively, "Just call her the captain you want, but she won't be able to save you now!" The shock made Mellie grit her teeth with a red face.

Meanwhile, Lilia was still standing rooted in her place. She hated herself because she could only be silent and watch as Mellie was taken away by the police. Lilia approached another policeman with a slightly friendlier face.

"Sir, please explain to me about the arrest just now. What crime has she committed?" Lilia asked carefully.

The policeman answered without turning around, "She used excessive force when terrorizing her victims. In essence, that woman is disturbing the social order here!"

Not long after that, the cop then realized who he was talking to. The man turned towards Lilia and squinted suspiciously.

"Wait a minute, who are you?" Asked the policeman in surprise.

Lilia's mind was still focused on the accusation that was used as an excuse to arrest Mellie so she didn't immediately answer the question. Lilia couldn't believe that woman was as bad as they claimed. There must be something wrong here!

Lilia lifted her chin up high and answered confidently, "I am Mellie's sister!"

The model deliberately revealed her relationship with Mellie so that she could follow the progress of the case. She could even help that woman!

"Sister, huh?" The policeman grabbed Lilia's arm, "Then you also need to come with us!"

Lilia followed the policeman without a fight. In just a short time, three police cars had sped away from the little cafe. They all headed to the nearby police station.

Unfortunately, Lilia was so focused on helping Mellie that she forgot about the paparazzi. She didn't know who recorded it, but the video of Lilia being escorted into the police car immediately spread in cyberspace. The video was even titled "Famous model caught by the police?!"

*****

When they arrived at the police station, Lilia had sent a message to Jean regarding this incident. Clifford also drove from a distance and stalked them all along. Lilia felt a little calm because she knew Jean would definitely help her deal with this situation. She wasn't sure if she could solve this problem alone.

Along the way, Lilia managed to get the police who were escorting her to tell her about Mellie's crime. She was a little stunned when she heard that Mellie was actually a professional debt collector. So it turned out that the woman had to challenge dangers every day to survive.

Lilia secretly sighed. If the policemen were willing to wait just five minutes, she might be able to figure out the answer to her question. Lilia was determined to meet Mellie as soon as possible and hear the woman's story.

But the reality said differently. Once they arrived at the police station, Mellie was immediately led into the interrogation room. Lilia didn't even have time to see her figure, let alone talk to her.
