Chapter 130 Please Help Me

The young male policeman did not know Avery. Seeing that he was so arrogant as soon as he cameover, the policeman was unwilling to help Darlene open the handcuffs.

The policeman pushed a stack of papers on the table to Avery. “Who are you to this. young lady? Theselists require her family to sign. Before the situation is clear, this young lady may not be able to leave forthe time being.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Tom brought two policemen with him. He rushed in with a darkened face.

He directly took the key from the young policeman and unlocked the handcuffs on Darlene’s hands. Heforced a smile and apologized to Avery.

“I’m really sorry, Mr. Gallard. This is a new intern policeman who doesn’t know anything. I just happenedto have something to do tonight and went back. I’m so sorry

about this.”

Avery ignored him and squatted down to check the wound on Darlene’s wrist. “Does it hurt? Why did yougo to Twilight Paradise to see Douglas? Did Braylen ask you to go

there?”

Darlene pushed his hand away in a flurry. Her face was extremely pale from the shock.

All she could think about was Douglas collapsing in front of her like a corpse in the private room, his faceand neck covered with blood.

Tom scolded the young policeman with a cold face, “This is the President of the Gallard Group, and thisis Mrs. Gallard. Now apologize to them. If Mr. Gallard can let go of this, I won’t pursue any furtherresponsibility. If not, pack your things and get out of here.”

The intern policeman was still young and impetuous. When he heard this, he felt unfair. He thought hewas trying to be fair in handling cases. So, he didn’t want to be so inferior in front of a bigwig.

He said defiantly, “Mr. Dorsey, if you want to fire me because I offended Mr. Gallard, then I have nothingto say. But I have no problem handling the case. I won’t apologize.”

Tom looked at him in disbelief. He was so angry that his face turned livid. “You are so unreasonable! Letme ask you, what did you do about the case? How can you directly

cuff Ms. Garcia here?”

The intern policeman said in a deep voice, “When I went over, Douglas, who was in the private room,was dying and already taken away by an ambulance. Ms. Garcia was still there, holding a bloody knife inher hand. There was no doubt that she killed someone. Even if that man did not die, she was stillsuspected of attempted murder.”

Tom took a step closer and looked at him sternly, “Dying? You saw him dying? Or did you go to thehospital to check on him?

“When I went over, there were two bloody knives on the floor of the private room. One was held by Ms.Garcia, and what about the other one? Did you check it? Did Douglas use the knife?

“As soon as I came in, I saw that Ms. Garcia had bruises and injuries on her neck, and the wound on herwrist could cut off her pulse. Did you check it? Where did it come from?”

The young policeman was at a loss for words and lowered his voice. “When I went over, I heard thepeople in the corridor whispering that Douglas was injured and dying, and he was carried away…”

Tom slammed the table a few times and interrupted him, “You heard? You are a policeman who handlescases based on evidence, not standing on the side listening to

rumors!

When the incident happened, there were only Darlene and Douglas in the private room. There were nowitnesses. How could you just believe the people in the corridor who were watching the scene?

As for Mr. Swale, who entered the room and saw the scene, based on how you handled the case, Mr.Swale could also be a suspect.”

The young policeman really lost his confidence and explained, “The surveillance inside is broken, and Ican only make a preliminary judgment.”

Tom’s face was extremely livid. “The witness is Mr. Swale who walked in, and there is a knife on theground. Then why don’t you suspect that the person was killed by Mr. Swale?

“The physical evidence is two knives on the ground. Why are there two knives? Did you check? What thehell did you check?

“There are no surveillance cameras. The evidence is extremely insufficient. You haven’t even figured outthe ins and outs of the matter, yet you directly arrested someone with handcuffs. Now you still have thenerve to act so arrogantly in front of me, shouting that you are not afraid of the bigwig? Pack up yourthings and get lost!”

The young policeman was finally speechless after being scolded by him for a long time.

Cyrus walked in and handed a USB to Avery. “Sir, we got the surveillance video. It was deliberatelydeleted by someone, but it has been restored.”

Avery applied medicine to Darlene and carried her out. “Give the USB to Mr. Dorsey, stay here, and dealwith the matter. I’m leaving.”

“Okay,” Cyrus replied.

After Avery took Darlene away, Cyrus handed the USB to Tom with a sullen face. “Mr. Dorsey, you canhave a good look at the video with this young officer. The real situation. is clear at a glance.

Darlene was in self–defense. In that case, even if Douglas really died, Darlene would not have to takeany legal responsibility.”

Avery took Darlene out. When he reached the door, he could still hear Tom scolding the young policeofficer for being careless while watching the surveillance video.

He carried Darlene and walked outside. Her eyes were lifeless.

Once they got into the car, Avery carried her to sit down in the back seat. Only then did. she say in a verylow voice, “He’s dead.”

She had really been freaked out so that she had forgotten to resist while being cuddled

like this.

She probably had no idea where she was right now.

She looked at him and repeated, “He’s dead. I stabbed the knife into his neck. He must

be dead.”

Avery wiped off the blood on her face and neck with a wet towel. After the blood was

wiped clean, the vague blue and purple marks on her neck became more obvious.

His eyes were red, and he tried his best to control his emotions. “It’s all in the past.

Don’t worry, that kind of thing will never happen again.”

Darlene was in a trance and did not speak. Her gaze fell on it as if she was looking at him, but also as ifshe was not looking at anything.

Avery felt that she was so pale. The anger that she had secretly run off to get drunk in Twilight Paradisehad silently disappeared from his mind.

His arm tightened around her, feeling that her entire body was cold.

His voice trembled a little. “Why can’t you just be a little more obedient? I said that I would be back soon.I told you that Braylen and others are not good people.”

Darlene didn’t seem to hear him and said nothing.

She knew that not everyone was good. But she couldn’t help but fantasize that it might

be a ray of light that could warm her.

So she couldn’t help but try to get closer.

No one could really be willing to wait for death so peacefully.

The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Avery carried Darlene down and walked towards theelevator in the hospital.

The back of the man in front of him was kind of familiar. Darlene turned her head and looked over. Theperson in front seemed to have noticed it. He stopped and turned

around.

It was Gustave. Avery guessed that Gustave might have come here because of Douglas.

No matter what, that man was his uncle in name.

Gustave turned around and met Darlene’s gaze. Her eyes were full of despair, but for a moment, he feltthat he had seen Darlene’s intense emotions that he had never revealed before him.

He did not know why his palm tightened. Darlene looked at him, her eyes filled with begging.

She silently spoke to him, “Mr. Walpole, please help me. Just like how you did in the sea back then,please help me once more.”
