Chapter 203 - Welcome back girl (1/2)

Shane who had believed he's smart, undergo questioning, which he handled professionally.

He even turned the table around and asked if they could find the person that tried to assassinate him, like they are doing for Alex right now. He claimed there's a possibility that the person targeted both of them, since they got attacked the same day.

They couldn't help but admired his skills, he's indeed good, but they weren't after all his gibberish. They only wanted to cut him off Stella's back.

They realize that they have no evidence except Alexander's words, which wasn't enough to do much to him. All he needed was a good lawyer and he's good to go.

After proceeding with their plan and told him about Stella's confession before her release, his gaze darkened and he couldn't even doubt them much.

He assumed Stella might have done that to get back at him for hurting Diana, so he wasn't surprised.

”Are you telling us your wife who lived under the same roof as you could be capable of lying against you? She mentioned the number of people you brutally killed and also mentioned you threatening some innocent people.” His interrogator spoke up, even though it's just a cooked up story.

Shane was tongue tied for a while. He assumed Stella said all that based on what she made her witness to strengthen his fear in her heart.

His lawyer requested an audience alone with him. After they were alone, the lawyer was about to convince him to denied the claims and make his unfaithful wife suffer the consequences, but can Shane dare allow harm come to Stella? there's no way!

After their discussion, they came up with a decision, which will benefit both parties. He didn't deny Stella's claim and didn't admit either.

Instead, he said he wanted a confrontation with his wife. He said he wanted her to say all that to his face, only then will he believe them.

His main worries now is Stella's escape. He had no idea where to start his search. He felt sad and couldn't believe he wouldn't be able to see her for a while now.

He knew she must have run to one of her friends for help, which only pointed at one person, 'Ethan's parents.'

His situation couldn't afford to confront them for now, so he decided to work on his company for a few weeks and go get his woman.

Before then, his partners would have sent more men for him, which he could use to achieve his aim.

After few interrogations, he managed to work away free, but for a while. He was told he would be summoned soon, as the investigation is still going on.

After he left, they fed Alex in on the details and he thanked them for their help. With that, Stella can breath now.

He's sure Shane wouldn't want Stella being interrogated. Before he sort everything with the agents, he will want Stella far away.

...

Getting home, Shane felt lost and imagined sleeping alone. He began thrashing the whole place in annoyance, he got rid of the air conditioning.
