Chapter 1025

Feeling the suspicious gazes of those around her falling on her, Lana knew that she could not run.

Instead, she put on a wronged and lost expression.

“I don’t even know you, miss. Please don’t accuse me of something I didn’t do!”

“What do you mean you don’t know me? You were the one who waited by my office last Friday and called after me! You were the one who told me to work together!” Eve accused, getting progressively frustrated. “You were just using me to deal with Eveline Montgomery, weren’t you? How could you be so sinister?”

Hearing this, Madeline turned to whisper to her secretary, Coco, who was standing by her side.

Coco nodded and quickly walked off.

Madeline looked up to stare at Lana but found her eyes landing on Jeremy who was standing behind the woman instead.

Their eyes met and Madeline coldly averted her gaze.

Lana’s composure had completely fallen apart by now as she glared at Eve to tell her to shut up. It only enraged Eve further.

“What are you glaring at me for? Are you denying that you weren’t the one who instructed me in the first place? You also told me that there’d be another woman who’d come and work with me to destroy Eveline! It’s her, isn’t it?”

Eve pointed at Naomi.

“You sinister plastic surgery btch! Don’t fcking use me just because you want to make Eveline pay!”

Slap! Lana sent a harsh slap across Eve’s face in mortification. “How dare you claim that my face is fake? Do you want to die?”

Eve cupped her face and returned to the police officer’s side. “You saw it too, right, officers? She hit me and won’t even let me tell the truth!”

Lana walked over to deny. “Don’t listen to this crazy woman, officers. I’m someone with status and power. How could I possibly do such atrocious things? She’s framing me. I don’t even know her at all.

She’s lying!”

“You’re the one who’s lying, Lana,” Madeline interrupted in displeasure.

Startled, Lana turned to find Madeline easily releasing her wrists from the handcuffs that had never been locked in the first place!

It was Madeline’s plan all along!

Lana was enraged.

She was the one who wanted to set Madeline up, yet now Madeline was the one setting her up instead.

“You claim that you don’t recognize Eve, Lana, but I just had my secretary copy the surveillance footage from the company’s entrance when you two met last Friday.”

“…”

“I must say that you have quite the eye-catching short hair that you can even be recognized from inside the car.”

“…”

Lana ground her teeth harshly as she watched Madeline take the phone and reveal the scene of her sitting in the car as she talked to Eve.

The footage was not of high quality, but her silhouette was clearly identifiable.

Eve got excited as she saw the image. “You see, officers? I didn’t lie about this. She’s the one lying here! It’s her, she’s the one who created this entire set-up tonight. I was just being used, I’m innocent!”

“The most innocent one here is Eveline.” Anger fell on Ryan’s otherwise gentle features. “Please bring this woman in for investigation immediately, Officer Flo.”

Lana glared at Ryan. “How dare you ask someone to arrest me, Ryan?!”

“What? Am I supposed to be afraid of you?” Ryan was calm. “Let me remind you, Lana Johnson. This isn’t F Country.”

“You…” Lana was about to protest when metal handcuffs were wrapped around her wrists.

“Lana Johnson, you’re under arrest for a serious case of abetting crime. As the amount involved is of a substantial amount, please follow us back to the police station for questioning.”

“…”

Lana had never had handcuffs placed around her hands before, let alone experienced life in prison.

She turned to look at Jeremy for help.
