Chapter 89: The police is here!
I looked up to see that the police had burst through the doors, leaving a loud bang that echoed through the exhibition hall. It was almost as if it was a scene right out of an action movie. Their faces each bore a serious expression and a frown was etched between their brows as their eyes swept over the crowd that formed.
The people who witnessed everything shifted their gaze anxiously with a hint of excitement twinkling in their eyes. And soon enough, they broke into whispers and murmurs once again, the atmosphere remained tense.
Despite my racing heart, my dark eyes were gleaming with a knowing look while a smirk appeared on Evelyn’s lips and her eyes lit up the moment she noticed the police officers standing in front of us.
"Oh my god... the police are here..." one pointed out, his low voice laced with anticipation.
"Are they here to arrest her?" Another questioned with a raised brow while the woman beside her nodded.
"It must be! Who else could it be? I bet his wife called the cops on her, after all, she did just assault him."
Endless speculation filled the air in an instant and to say it was chaotic, was an understatement.
As if on cue, I watched as the police officers marched towards me, closing the gap between us in a few large strides in no more than a few seconds. The officer right before me and we locked eyes as silence lapsed between us momentarily, causing the smirk that was plastered across Evelyn’s face to widen, thinking I was about to get arrested. But instead, the officer only looked concerned.
"Mrs Wilder," he began. "Are you okay?" He questioned, a hint of worry laced his voice but he was just being professional and asking the questions he needed to.
I nodded with a slight smile etched onto my face.
"I’m okay," I said and Xavier reached down to interlace his fingers with mine.
