True Love Waits novel Chapter 406

Debbie tried her best to stay calm. "Officer, may I ask how Megan was murdered?" she asked.

The policeman looked at her warily and answered, "She was raped and then stabbed with a knife. She bled to death."

Debbie was confused. "She was raped. How could I have done that?"

"We've already caught the rapist. He had left the spot after raping her, but then returned after some time. He claims that he saw you stab Megan Lan multiple times."

Saying that, he produced a transparent plastic bag and placed it in front of her. "Is this yours?" he asked.

Inside the bag was a knife.

Debbie's eyes widened in horror. "This is mine! But I was getting married today. Do you really think I would go out and kill someone several days before my wedding?"

The policeman stopped taking notes and lifted the pen from the notepad. He looked her in the eye and asked, "How was your relationship with Megan Lan? Did you get along?"

Debbie wondered how she could explain her relationship with Megan without making it sound like she had always wanted to murder her. "I admit that Megan and I were not getting along well, but I had never thought of killing her."

"Why weren't you two getting along?"

The interrogation lasted a long time.

Debbie was on the brink of a meltdown. She kept repeating the same words—"I didn't kill Megan. I need my lawyer. I will find evidence to prove my innocence."

Three-odd hours later, another policeman entered the interrogation room. "Debbie Nian, your lawyer is here."

She saw Xavier and Ivan walk in.

Ivan was acting somewhat strange. Xavier said, "Debbie, things have become a bit complicated. The surveillance video from that night shows that Megan was taken out of the city in your car."

Debbie's breathing hitched. A cold shiver ran down her spine. Someone was deliberately framing her!

'Who did this? Who raped and killed her? Why?' she wondered.

Xavier told her more about the case. It was an engineer who had raped Megan. The man had already been caught by the police. He admitted shamelessly that he had raped her because she was pretty and he couldn't hold back his desires.

Ivan retorted, "No, he's lying. Someone must have hired him to rape her." He had a hunch as to who might have hired the man to rape Megan.

Xavier cast a sidelong glance at Ivan and said, "Well, that's what he said."

Not long after Debbie had been taken to the police station, some of the news outlets reported that she and Ivan had held a secret wedding ceremony, and that the police had taken her away because she had apparently killed someone.

Carlos had lost no time in tearing those articles down.

There were always malicious rumors about Debbie on the news. As a result of that pattern, the netizens didn't take the murder accusation seriously. They thought that it was just another piece of fake news.

After leaving the police station, Ivan and Xavier went in different directions. Ivan got into his car, but he didn't start the engine. Instead, he took out his phone and called someone. As soon as it connected, he said angrily, "That engineer is your man!"

A man's voice came from the other end of the line. "Yes, he is. So? Ivan, are you saying that it was me who had asked him to rape that woman?"

Ivan's hand tightened around the steering wheel. "You broke the law!" he yelled into the phone.

"I am well aware that asking someone to rape a woman is against the law. So, obviously I didn't do it. Ivan, you've let me down! How can you not trust me?"

Without answering, Ivan hung up and sighed helplessly. He immediately called Carlos. "Mr. Huo, someone has framed Debbie. And the police aren't granting her bail. Someone powerful is behind this. Mr. Huo, will you please help her out of this?"

Carlos didn't respond.

Ivan closed his eyes and pleaded, "Mr. Huo, Debbie is your ex-wife. She was depressed when she thought that you were dead. In order to give b—" He almost blurted out, "In order to give birth to your baby..." Luckily, he stopped in time to avoid the blunder and instead said, "She had been working really hard in order to teach those who had hurt you and her a lesson, and to put them behind bars.

She has done so much for you. You may not know it, but I do. And now, she is being framed. Mr. Huo, you aren't just going to sit and watch, are you?"
