Chapter 278

Chapter 278 The Conversation Between Owen and Eliza Brook arranged for some men to wait at the gate of the police station. After 24 hours, Eliza would appear there and they would catch her. As soon as Brook hung up his phone, Hailey stared at the screen of the laptop with a frown. “Why is he there?”

“Who?” Brook came close. When he recognized Owen, his eyes widen in surprise “What’s going on?

Why would he enter the room?”

In the interrogation room, Eliza met Owen’s gaze when she was talking nonsense to the cop.

Apparently, her face changed. “O… Owie..”

She didn’t know whether he had heard what she just said, so she was nervous and anxious.

When she was ready to stand up, Lucas shouted at her, “Sit back! You are not allowed to move.”

“Lucas Eliza sat down again hesitantly. “Why are you here?”

Lucas looked at her coldly, ready to scold her. But before he opened his mouth, Owen gave him a glance and said in a low voice, “Don’t scold her. Let me talk with her alone. Okay, my friend?” There was some pleading in his tone, even a bit of lowliness Eliza looked at Owen in a daze with tears in her eyes.

Brook’s eyes widened. “Hey, what does Owen mean? He came there to defend her?”

With her eyes fixed on the screen, Hailey remained silent.

Lucas was also surprised. He pointed at Eliza and shouted, “Owen, are you insane? Do you beg me just for such a woman? Where’s your pride? Oh, you even have had a fight with your family because of her. You shouldn’t do so much for her.”

Owen looked back at Eliza with deep love and helplessness in his eyes. He said, “She deserves. I haven’t regretted.”

Brook flared up instantly. “What the fuck. How gross! Does he love being two-timed? He is still in love with such a woman. So why has he come here to serve you?”

Hailey frowned. “Stop. You are so noisy.”

Pointing at the screen, Brook said, “Look at his face. Aren’t you angry?”

“No, it’s none of my business.” Hailey folded her arms across her chest. “I really want to see what he will do next for his love.”

In the interrogation room, Eliza looked at Owen with tears, deeply touched. She wanted to throw herself into his arms and kissed him right away. In her eyes, Owen always stood in his dignity but this time he even begged someone for her so now she also felt satisfied. ‘Look.

Owen still loves me. I am so important to him that Hailey can’t replace me. I am still the one and only whom he loves the most.” Lucas asked all the cops to leave and gave his order, “Turn off the monitor.”

Then he turned to Owen. “Just speak briefly.”

Both Hailey and Brook felt nervous, thinking that the monitor would be off soon. While they were wondering whether they should put an interceptor into the room, they found that the monitor was left on and the conversation between Owen and Eliza could be heard clearly. Sitting opposite Eliza, Owen asked slowly, “Are you okay?”

Eliza’s tears immediately dropped. Her acting was as good as that of an experienced actress. “Owie, I have long known that you would be here to protect me.”

Both Lucas and Brook shouted, “You know nothing!”

Hailey just sneered coldly and ironically. She didn’t expect to see such a scene, which was more interesting than a TV series.

Owen lit a cigarette and put it between his fingers. Surrounded by the rising smoke, he even looked kind of weak and sad.

Looking at his face, Eliza was at a loss. “Owie?”

Owen still lowered his head and didn’t look at her. With a bitter smile, he asked, “When did you meet him for the first time?”

Eliza’s heart did a flip. Looking at him, she shook her head. “No. I haven’t…”

Owen seemed deeply hurt “So are you going to lie to me? Eliza, you can’t cheat on me again and again.”

deeply Because of his angry look and his sudden shouts, Eliza was scared and gave in. She said hurriedly, “No, I haven’t cheated on you. Owie, it’s he, Mr. Joe, who came to me first.”

It seemed that Owen didn’t buy her words. “He came to you first? He is such a dangerous man. Why would he want you?” His tone was full of care, which moved Eliza again.

She said loudly to convince him, “That’s true. Owie, trust me. I met him in a bar on the day when I had a conflict with Hailey but you stood by her side. So I was sad and came to a bar to have a drink. I nearly got raped there. It’s Mr. Joe that helped me. Later since I had so much drink, I…

Owen’s face fell. “You had sex with him?

“He lured me!” Eliza avoided his gaze. She added weakly, “I was so drunk. The next morning when I woke up, I found him lying next to me on the bed. He is nice and generous I just thought that you abandoned me, so …”

Owen snorted “I can also give you all those things. But you chose him, a dangerous man. Do you know his real identity? What if he is a trafficker? What if he hurts you?” As he was speaking, he became emotional Eliza explained quickly, “No, I don’t love those he gave me. I know that he is not a good man and he doesn’t love me at all. Now he is fed up with me and leaves me.”

“So why do you still defend him?”

“No, I don’t defend him. I just don’t dare to tell you about him.” There was fear on her face. “You have no idea how horrifying he is. A follower betrayed him. He gave me a knife and asked me to kill the follower. I didn’t dare to do that. He just held my hand and stabbed the knife into the follower’s belly and his guts fell out. He even asked his men to install a bomb in the car to kill Hailey.”

Owen now showed his coldness and fierceness. “Why would he want to kill Hailey?”

Eliza’s face was pale. “I thought that it was because she saw our sex. But later, I found that it wasn’t. I heard one of his men greet him, “Congratulations, Mr. Joe. You can revenge on your enemies now”. So I guess there should be deep hatred between him and Hailey. Oh, he might also bear grudges against Sofia. But I don’t know the details.”

Owen calmed down again. “Do you know where he is?”
