Chapter 136 Free Ride Home
The news was still rolling.
Chloe, the stunning brunette anchor, leaned forward slightly in her seat, her eyes sparkling with emotion as she glanced at her co-host, Mark.
"You know what, Mark?" she said, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I actually don’t think he did it."
Mark blinked, caught off-guard. "Wait, what?"
"I mean look at him," Chloe continued, gesturing dramatically to the freeze-frame of Liam being arrested. "He’s so... harmless. So sweet-looking. Like a total mommy’s boy. There’s no way someone like that could commit murder."
Mark’s expression shifted into panic as he glanced off-camera, probably toward their producer. "Um—Chloe, you just called him the face of evil five minutes ago—"
"I know, I know," she cut in, shaking her head with a hint of guilt, "but that was before I saw his face. Now I’m convinced. That boy couldn’t even hurt a fly."
The internet exploded.
Across the country, people watching the live broadcast sat in stunned disbelief. Viewers’ jaws dropped, fingers flying across keyboards and phone screens.
