Chapter 38: Mother-in-law
’’I didn’t lie. He did thrust me into the wall but he was too drunk to tell who I was. He thought I was looking forward to getting... laid...’’ Diana cleared her throat as she placed a USB drive on the desk, ’’He was with another woman who happens to be his classmate with whom he has been in an on and off relationship for some time. While there is no CCTV inside the apartment, I got this from the convenience store downstairs... This is the recording of that woman leaving the apartment.’’
Thanks to Ivy and her super skills.
Diana was grateful to herself that she did not ignore the nagging feeling in her heart and took some precautions by asking Ivy to look into that woman.
Luckily.
The officer looked at her suspiciously, ’’And you prepared this in advance?" he twirled the USB drive in his hand.
She stiffened.
Maxim placed a protective arm on her waist as he pulled her closer to him, "I prepared this for her given the threats.’’
’’Threats?" The officer’s attention shifted to her said fiance who readily took the responsibility to his shoulders
Diana knew that it would arouse suspicions so she hadn’t pulled it out earlier but with Maxim here, she did not want the matter to be escalated further.
Maxim glanced at the old lady, ’’She wanted to sue my fiancee,’’ Diana noticed how effortlessly he got into the act, the corner of her lips twitched ever so slightly.
The officer glanced at the grandson-grandmother duo who were pale by this time.
