The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge novel Chapter 1388

Amidst his panic, Charles, though supported, slumped like a ragdoll.

James glared fiercely at Ralph. Just when he was about to speak, Christopher timely intervened, “Charles, you should go with Captain Thompson. If you’re innocent, you’ll just be cooperating with the investigation. Don’t panic. It’ll be over soon. We’ll come to pick you up afterward.”

Charles glared at Christopher, his eyes darkening with rage.

This damn bastard… Once again, Christopher seized the perfect opportunity to stomp on someone when they were down.

Then, Christopher whispered persuasively to Lance, “Dad, Ralph is making a valid point. If Charles doesn’t cooperate with the police, it’ll appear as though he’s hiding something, and Ralph might resort to tougher measures. It’ll only complicate matters further.”

Convinced, Lance quickly changed his mind. “Charles, just go with them!”

“Dad!” Charles’ expression turned into one of sheer despair.

With a wave of his hand, Lance, full of resentment and frustration, found himself at a loss for words.

In the end, Lance and James could only watch powerlessly as the police led Charles away.

As Ralph was leaving, he shot a frosty glance at Christopher.

That piercing stare, almost accusatory, struck Christopher, deeply wounding his proud self-esteem. It brought him a wave of discomfort.

“Ralph! Hold on!” James stepped forward, his face flushed with strain.

His emotions had shifted from trying to free Charles to an intense desire to beat Ralph.

Ralph paused, his face devoid of expression, as he faced him.

“Hmph, admit it! You’re not here out of any moral obligation! You’re just out to avenge Bella and Amelia!”
