Chapter 1820: Chapter 1823 Sudden Turn of Events
Evelyn Lucas’s clothes had already been stripped by that group of burly men just now.
At this moment, she was nestled in Frank Chamberlain’s arms, loosely covered with his dress coat.
Which meant she was completely bare inside.
The leading police officer frowned slightly, knowing that Evelyn Lucas was stalling for time, yet he had no choice but to let her go in and change into a new set of clothes.
Taking her back to the police station like this would be outrageous.
“You, go in and change quickly…” The officer commanded sternly, gesturing towards the bridal lounge behind him.
Then, he said to a female officer beside him, “Accompany her inside to change clothes.”
Even though they were standing guard at the door and Evelyn Lucas didn’t pose much of a threat, they were still worried about any mishaps.
Having someone follow her was a safer approach.
Evelyn Lucas had no objection to the officer’s arrangement, and as she asked Frank Chamberlain to put her down, she whispered two sentences in his ear.
Her voice was so low and soft that even if someone tried, they wouldn’t be able to hear it clearly.
Frank Chamberlain’s eyes flickered with a trace of concern.
Evelyn Lucas patted his arm soothingly twice, then wrapped in the overcoat, entered the lounge accompanied by the female officer.
A large crowd was blocking the entrance outside.
People from the Presidential Palace, the Police Department, media reporters, and guests attending the wedding banquet.
At this moment, everyone awaited the final outcome, and no one left on their own.
Mr. Lucas stood not far away, glanced at Hannah Ford who lay in a pool of blood, eyes already closed.
Cold-faced, he walked over to the leading police officer.
“Mr. Speaker…” The officer looked up, displaying a hint of fear, “I’m sorry, the witness died.”
The seemingly upright man from earlier suddenly showed panic in front of Mr. Lucas.
“No need to apologize, you’ve already done your best.” From the moment Hannah Ford reported the case, everything was under Mr. Lucas’s control.
As soon as her call reached the police system, someone informed Mr. Lucas of the situation.
Aidan Lucas immediately decided, pressuring the Police Department through parliament, also personally calling the Chief of Police as the Speaker.
Finally, he sent this experienced and outspoken police officer to handle the case.
“Aidan Lucas, was all of this your behind-the-scenes arrangement?” Frank Chamberlain’s cold displeased voice came from behind.
Mr. Lucas curled his lips into a faint and chilly smile.
He turned around, nonchalantly meeting Frank Chamberlain’s gaze.
“Hmm, does Mr. President have any objections?” He spoke in a businesslike manner, in front of the media, not believing that Frank Chamberlain would dare speak for Evelyn Lucas.
Frank Chamberlain’s gaze flickered, finally gritting his teeth to say, “Even if you wanted to arrest someone, you shouldn’t have disrupted my wedding. Aidan Lucas, this is my wedding…”
“Then you should ask why as a bride, she chose to report the case at the wedding.”
Mr. Lucas coldly retorted, showing no sign of backing down.
“Moreover, your newlywed wife just died in front of you, yet from the moment she fell to now, you haven’t shed a single tear for her or even thought of checking on her. Frank Chamberlain, you had no feelings for Hannah Ford, drop your act.”
Frank Chamberlain’s pupils contracted, suddenly realizing he had completely forgotten about Hannah Ford.
Even if he had earlier said he wouldn’t marry Hannah Ford and wanted to divorce her on the spot.
But in front of the camera, he absolutely couldn’t let the public think he was a cold and indifferent person.
Just as Frank Chamberlain was about to say something to salvage the situation, a sound of shattering glass suddenly came from the lounge.
“Ah—Help—”
“Bang bang—”
A woman’s screams and gunshots suddenly rang out.
No one paid attention to Frank Chamberlain’s faux pas anymore, the leading officer charged forward, kicking the main door open with a single strike.
