Chapter 195

Before Christina stepped out, she turned around to remind the women behind her.

"Behave yourselves. Don't forget where you are."

The women, who had been so fierce during the fight with Christina, now gave awkward smiles.

"Yeah, we got it. Don't worry."

As Christina was led out, she noticed the puzzled look on the officer's face.

She had just been brought in, so who could possibly be here to see her?

When she reached the visiting area, she saw someone unexpected through the glass.

She couldn't believe William had come. The officer coldly informed her that she had 20 minutes for the visit.

His voice carried over to William, essentially telling them to make the most of their time.

After saying this, the officer left the room.

William picked up the phone, and when he saw Christina's disheveled appearance through the glass, his heart ached.

Christina noticed William's gaze and turned her head away, not picking up the phone.

William gestured to the phone.

Christina sighed and finally picked up the receiver.

"What are you doing here?"

Christina hadn't forgotten everything that had happened, so William's appearance wasn't exactly welcome news.

Even though William had defended her immediately after the incident, it didn't matter now that she was here.

Besides, Christina firmly believed in her innocence.

She had just had an unpleasant encounter.

"What happened to you? You're only being held as a suspect. Did someone hurt you?"

He saw her messy hair and wrinkled clothes, and his brow furrowed with concern.

"I'm fine. Just a minor incident. But why are you here?"

Despite William's efforts to stop it, she had still been taken away.

So Christina didn't understand what William was trying to do.

Especially considering the events of the past, she didn't trust his intentions.

William sighed, his concern unwavering, and said helplessly.

"I was blocked from getting to you, and I was also dealing with Nicholas's funeral. But don't worry, I'm here to tell you that I'll get you out."

"Why would you want to help me?"

William's attitude had been consistent for a long time.

Although Christina wasn't moved by it, his response still made her pause.

"You're my wife. I owe you that much. And I believe you're not the kind of person they're saying you are."

His tone was firm. While others might think Christina had motives, he knew her stubborn nature. Once she made up her mind, she wouldn't change it, let alone harm Nicholas for money.

"So, should I thank you for your trust?"

To be honest, the whole situation had happened so suddenly.

She hadn't had time to prepare, and she didn't remember much about what happened with Nicholas.

"Even if you don't say anything, I'll investigate. I've already made arrangements. You won't stay in here."

William finished speaking and prepared to hang up and leave.

Christina felt a bit panicked, an unrealistic thought crossing her mind.

But thinking it over, she doubted William would go that far.

"What are you gonna do?"

Before she could say more, William had already left.

The officer took Christina back to the room.

The earlier incident had made the other women wary of Christina.

They hadn't expected her to fight so fiercely.

But Christina didn't care about their expressions. She was thinking about what William had said.

"How'd you end up in here?"

One of the women tried to talk to Christina, but she just rolled her eyes.

She didn't want to associate with them. In a small prison, they were still trying to bully others.

They were already at the bottom, yet they still clung to such delusions.

"None of your business."

Christina's words left them speechless.

The gang leader woman sat with her legs crossed, full of disdain.

"Why are you even asking? She can't be a good person if she's in here with us."

"But let me remind you, since you're here with me, you'd better behave. Don't cause trouble, or what happened earlier will seem like a joke."

Christina sneered, looking at the woman in front of her.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Or any of you?"

She scanned the room.

In Christina's mind, she had already died once.

There was nothing left to fear. These women talked tough, but when it came to fighting, they were scared.

Christina turned her head away, not giving them a chance to speak.

Nearly two hours passed.

Just as the women were about to start trouble again, the officer returned.

This time, his look at Christina was complicated.

Christina was puzzled but looked up at him.

"Change your clothes. Someone posted your bail. But you're still a suspect. You can't leave the country or go anywhere else. Until the investigation is complete, you could be brought back at any time."

The officer's words shocked everyone in the room.

Christina had been there less than five hours, and she was already getting out?

Given the officer's earlier demeanor, it didn't seem likely she would be released so soon.

The woman who had led the attack on Christina now looked at her strangely.

"Who posted my bail?"

Christina had a guess but asked anyway.

Since she was getting out, the officer wasn't as cold as before.

"Isn't it your husband? That's what I was told. You'll be on standby at home. Once you're cleared, you'll be free."

After saying this, Christina was taken out.

As she walked out of the police station, she saw William approaching.

"Why are you doing this?"

Though she was glad to be out, Christina didn't understand William's motives.

Letting her out before the facts were clear seemed pointless. She might as well stay inside.

"I told you, I believe you. I'll find out the truth and clear your name. You don't need to worry about anything else."

William pulled Christina over and put her in the car.

"How do you plan to explain this to the Cavendish family?"

When Nicholas had his accident, the Cavendish family had been cold and uncooperative. Even though Christina was distant with William, the family had also doubted him.
