Semua Bab I Made Sure My Criminal Fiance Stays In Jail: Bab 1 - Bab 9

I was about to ask Gilbert what he meant when the mall manager, restaurant owner, and the deceased’s family came for me. They rebuked me for stealing, dining and dashing, and for a hit-and-run. I thought they had mistaken me for someone else. After all, Selene and I did not look alike at all. I patiently explained everything to them. They showed me the surveillance footage. The footage clearly showed that I had committed all those terrible things. I had no way to defend myself. The deceased’s family broke down because they lost their only son. As a result, they stabbed me a dozen times on the spot. Even as I died, I could not figure out how the surveillance footage from the mall, restaurant, and the street had captured me as the one committing those crimes. They might have been able to falsify one video. But it was not easy to falsify all of them. So, where did it all go wrong? Since I was reborn, I was determined to uncover the truth this time. I ended up being held at

Upon hearing Sergeant William’s words, the crowd fell silent.When I saw Sergeant William, a shadow flickered in my eyes. I noticed Gilbert’s panicked look, so I deliberately raised my voice and said, “Sergeant William, since you’re here, I would like you to be my witness.”Sergeant William looked doubtful. “Witness to what?”Under the crowd’s accusing gaze, I lowered my head. My shoulders trembled slightly. Tears welled up in my eyes.My voice was full of sorrow. “Right after I walked out of the police station, the crowd surrounded me. They accused me of doing all kinds of terrible things and demanded that I take responsibility.“I told them it wasn’t me, but they showed me the surveillance footage. The person in it looks exactly like me.“While others might not know about this, both you and the other officers are fully aware that I was locked up in the detention center for three days. How could I have been spotted outside the detention center?”Sergeant William was surprised.

Right after Selene finished talking, the mall manager and the restaurant owner, who had wanted to interrupt our conversation, shot her a grateful glance.The mall manager stepped forward and said, “Ms. Lydia, since you’re such a kind lady, you shouldn’t have left after taking one of our best-selling bags, especially with the damage done to public property. Settle the bill first!”The restaurant owner nodded in agreement. “Ms. Lydia, it’s not easy for me to run a new business. I beg you, please settle your bill now. A bill that’s worth over $10,000 is equivalent to several days’ worth of sales to me!”With them taking the lead, the onlookers were stirred up again. They scolded me.“Miss, you can’t treat people like that. Since you’re so nice to your friends, you should show some sympathy for others as well!“Even though you didn’t kill anyone, you can’t deny the fact that you’ve taken things and eaten food for free. The surveillance footage is foolproof evidence!”In just an insta

When Gilbert heard Sergeant William, he did not buy it.“That’s impossible!“There’s no way Lydia was in the footage all the time. Selene said that can’t be—”Gilbert realized what he had just said right after he did it.He turned to Sergeant William and changed the topic. “Sergeant William, maybe there’s a problem with the surveillance camera. Why don’t you check it again?”Before Sergeant William could respond, the representatives turned to him in displeasure.They frowned as they looked at Gilbert. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying that we’re all stupid and blind? Are you implying our eyes here are just for decoration, and we can’t differentiate between truth and lies?”Gilbert refused to give up. He defended himself.“The surveillance footage covers three whole days. Maybe you all just got tired of watching everything. Just one blink, and you could have missed the part where Lydia might’ve disappeared.”Selene played along. “He’s right! You must have missed her
