Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 11

“Make... a... telephone... call... “ Clara read out a string of numbers as she pressed her nails into the woman’s neck.

The woman’s legs got weak, and she looked at Ruby for help.

“Don’t mess around Clara......” Ruby didn’t expect Clara to go so far, “Your family’s gone, who else can you go to for help?”

She and Clara had been friends for several years, and she knew all of her friends. The ones from good families, she had already bought with bribes.

Clara couldn’t possibly find anyone to help her!

“I’m asking you... to make a call! “ Clara spoke laboriously through clenched teeth. Her nails had already pierced the woman’s skin on her neck. The woman’s legs were trembling with fright and her mouth hanged open.

Ruby’s face fell. Fearing that the woman might accidentally say her name, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number that Clara had told her.

Soon the call connected, “Hello?”

Hearing his familiar voice, Clara’s eyes moistened. Swallowing blood, she laboriously said, “I’m Clara Rowan...... come to the Y police station...”

As long as he could let her leave to go to the hospital, as long as he could let her see grandma, even if he wanted her life, she would give it.

What was dignity compared to her only family?

Soon, the police officers heard the disturbance and rushed over.

However, seeing Clara with her hands around a woman’s neck, as if she was trying to die with her, the police officers did not dare rush in.

Time passed minute by minute, and Ruby didn’t see anyone come.

She felt that Clara had lied and was just trying to encourage the police officers to subdue her when a man about 30 years old hurried into the detention room.

Clara’s eyes filled with hope after she saw the man and she pleaded, “Bail me...... please, I want to go to the hospital......”

The man nodded solemnly and quickly turned away.

In less than a minute, the man not only returned, but he also brought the police chief with him!

As the man helped Clara out, the police chief even went so far as to politely ask, “Mr. Cohen, do you need me to have someone bring you to the hospital? “

“No thank you.”

Ruby watched with shock as the man left the station carrying Clara. She told the police chief, “Sir, Clara is suspected of murder! How can you let her go?”

“Without concrete evidence, we can’t keep her locked up anymore. “ The chief said impatiently. “If you have nothing else to do, then hurry up and leave! “

Ruby was extremely angry, but she had no choice but to leave.

She knew that J city’s deputy director had a good relationship with Steve. Because of this, she was able to easily arrange for people to come in and punish Clara.
