Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 423

Having a sleepless night in the police station wasn’t a big deal to me. However, my emotions erupted once I saw Christopher, and tears streamed down my face.

After crying for a while, Christopher wiped away my tears and said gently, “I’m here to pick you up and go home. Don’t worry. Everything has been solved.”

Given Christopher’s influence, I was sure that the police would release me sooner or later. Besides, he would have rescued me last night if I wasn’t that popular recently.

Besides tiredness and hunger, my heart hurt the most. “Chris, did Sharon see you yesterday?”

“She asked if I could get you out. When I said yes, she left in satisfaction.” Christopher was considerate and didn’t ask what happened between Sharon and me.

Sharon probably thought that I wouldn’t be in trouble. However, how can she ignore the consequences of that incident?

I chuckled, feeling that I was too naive to think Sharon would wait for me outside to explain it to me.

Christopher handed some breakfast over to me and held my hand to leave the police station. When we were leaving, the policewoman whispered, “She committed murder and should be found guilty by now. Why is she being released? I’m dissatisfied with it. If a criminal like her isn’t punished…”

“Christopher, I felt that I’m like a type of animal now.” I gazed at Christopher and pointed at my face. “Do I look like a rat?”

Christopher knocked on my head gently and replied, “If you’re a rat, I’m a rat as well. Well, being mice means that we are fertile. In that case, we can have a nest of baby mice.”

Imagining the nest of mice and my flat belly, I said shockingly, “I don’t want to be a mouse. You can give birth to babies by yourself.”

“I wish I could do it, but God has decided it otherwise.” Christopher shrugged helplessly.

I chuckled upon hearing the joke. Christopher came here in a black Porsche and parked it by the roadside. When we walked toward it, some journalists showed up out of nowhere and surrounded us.

“Ms. Tanner, why did you push Crystal down the stairs? Haven’t you divorced Lyle already?”

“Ms. Tanner, some people said that you still love Lyle, and thus you are jealous of Crystal for having his baby. Do you regret getting a divorce?”

“It is confirmed this morning that Crystal had a miscarriage. Besides, their marriage was postponed from this month to the end of next month. What caused you to have such malicious thoughts and be cruel enough to kill an unborn baby?”

My heart sank upon hearing their words. Although I hated Crystal for her arrogance, it didn’t mean that I would harm an unborn and innocent child.

Christopher shielded me carefully and continued walking toward the car. Once he opened the door, a journalist grabbed my hair and poured down some cold drink on my hair.

As the cold wind blew, my body shivered while my lips turned blue.

Overwhelmed by anger, Christopher threw a punch and a kick at the journalist. The journalist collapsed immediately. I grabbed Christopher’s hand and took him into my arms. “Chris, calm down. I’m fine.”

Given that the Lane family was involved in politics, the news about Christopher beating someone would affect the family’s reputation.

More journalists came forward upon seeing that. Meanwhile, the journalist who got beaten rolled on the ground and wailed, “Mr. Lane beat me. He wanted to beat me to death. The Lane family is rich, powerful, and can do whatever they like.”
