The hotel owner shot is a scom of contemned before turning to me with the most bottery smile I had ever seen Miss McPherson, surely you understand that revere only operating on false information and deception it was alla fisunderstanding
Vivian glared at tam Goldly. “Yon timpery to inform you that Mr. McPherson will be pulling out his investment in your hotst. As for everything else we‘ 566 you in coor
The crowd of sycophants say the police and panicked, quickly switching their allegiance to me.
“Miss McPhersont i didn’t fat you at all, remember? i can be your eyewitness, tool it was Tia who was violent toward you??
I found these people both pathetic and pitiful.
Closing my eyes, 1 whispered, “Tell the police yourself
At the hospital, the police announced that the baby had been miscarried.
I signed the paperwork, unfazed,
I didn’t feel too bad, I wasn’t going to marry Matteo, and I certainly wasn’t happy at the thought of carrying his child to term. To me, this pregnancy had felt like nothing more than a brief interruption in my life.
The operation was completed quickly, but it felt like an eternity.
Seven long years together–and now, Matteo and I were no more.
When I was returned to the ward, everyone was waiting
“Miss McPherson!” Vivian began. “Mr. McPherson is on his way here from another state, but he’ll need some time. For now, the police would like to take some statements.”
I nodded, scanning the people in the room.
My gaze settled on Tia, who was sitting in the corner, seething.
“She ruined my wedding venue. The damage is about 700,000 dollars,” I began. “She also ruined my limited edition handbag, which cost 50,000 dollars. Then, she beat me up until I miscarried my child. That should be…”
Tia’s expression darkened with every word I uttered, and I couldn’t help but feel indifferent.
It was no problem to me–she should pay for her own wrongdoings!

Tra shot up from her seat, furious. “Who do you think you are?!”
She grabbed her phone from her bag and shoved it in the cop’s face. “Look! I’m married to this man! We have pictures!”
The officer examined the photo, his expression blank, and then turned to Matteo. “Marriage certificate?”

Matteo pointed at Tia with a trembling finger. “You killed our child! How much longer will this insanity continue?!”
He then turned to me, pleading. “You know you’re the only one for me, Gina!”
Haha, very funny.
Tia shook her head in disbelief. “No, you’re lying!”
The police had had enough of their commotion and intervened.
“What we’re trying to establish is that Miss Lydic ruined Miss McPherson’s wedding venue, destroyed her property, and caused her miscarriage through battery. Do you have any concrete refutation?” the officer asked.
Tia’s eyes reddened as she glanced at Matteo. “He’d been cheating on both of us–that’s why I thought Gina was the third wheel. How is any of this my fault?!
The officers were baffled by her nonsense.
“Right. I suppose we can take that into consideration,” the officer remarked. “However, objectively, you’ve broken the law multiple times. The total damages will amount to millions of dollars, so please be prepared for a court summons.”
