Love Letters From My EX

The most important was that the insider had hurt Amber.

“Yes. She must be stopped. Right now. I’ll call her out now.” Hayden was about to hang up the phone as he spoke.

Amber stopped him. “Wait. No worries. The police knew that Judy Lashley was the attacker. They’ll call her over for investigation. We can go directly to the police station later.”

“That’s a good idea.” Hayden nodded. In anger, he growled in irritation, “Shit! I always believed I could recognize others well. I’ve never expected a woman to set me up this time. I’m so pissed.”|

Amber smiled in a self-mocking way. “You are not alone. I haven’t noticed she’s so scheming as well. We are too conceited. We thought we had everything in control. However, the reality gave us a heavy blow. But it’s not bad. After this lesson, we won’t make the same mistake again.”

“I agree.” Hayden smiled bitterly. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry for making you injured, Amber.”

“It’s fine. That’s all now. Later, if the police call me to go over, I’ll call you again.” Amber pinched between her eyebrows.

Hayden hummed. “All right.”

Meanwhile, the Gardner’s.

Trenton, Mrs. Gardner and Makayla were having dinner together. All of a sudden, Makayla felt a palpitation. She had a bad hunch.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Makayla put down the fork, pulled out her phone from the pocket, and checked the caller ID. When she saw the number of Olkmore Police Station, her expression changed dramatically. She also stood up subconsciously.

Trenton and his wife were confused while looking at her.

“What happened, Makayla?” Trenton put down his fork and asked.

Mrs. Gardner also looked at her with concerns. “Right, Makayla. Why did you suddenly pale? Who’s calling?”

“It’s… It’s my foster father,” Makayla looked down to cover the guilt in her eyes while lying.

Trenton patted the table, looking annoyed. “Is he calling you for money?”

“Sort… Sort of.” Makayla lowered her head more.

Trenton snorted. “As I said before, you can’t contact that family again. Why didn’t you listen to ton me? How many times has he asked you for money?”

“Right, Makayla,” Mrs. Gardner nodded and echoed, “Think how the family has treated you? Why do you still miss them? The more you miss them, the more they’ll pester you.”

“I’m sorry, Dad, Mom. It’s my bad,” Makayla twitched her lips and said apologetically, hating the Lashley family to the core.

She didn’t contact the Lashley family actively at all. How she wished to cut ties with them completely.

Earlier, when she went shopping, she encountered a woman from her original village. That woman was a cleaner in the mall and used to treat her well. She asked Makayla for her phone number, and the latter agreed.

However, Makayla had never expected that woman to give the phone number to Judy’s foster parents. After the Lashley couple knew Judy was leading an extraordinary life, they broke their promise to Hayden. They took the initiative to call her and ask her for money.

If Makayla hadn’t asked Hayden to help her suppress them, the Lashley couple would have come to Olkmore to see her.

“You’ve realized your mistake. That’s good. Change your phone number and cut ties with them,” Trenton picked up his fork again and said.

Makayla nodded hard. “I know, Dad. I’ll make it clear to them.”

She stood up and walked out of the dining room.

If it was a call from the Lashley family, she didn’t need to avoid her parents.

However, it wasn’t a call from them. Instead, it was from the police station.

Makayla wondered why the police were calling her. She decided to answer the call outside the dining room to avoid trouble.

When she walked into the living room, she swiped to answer and said in a trembling tone, “Hello…”

“Hello. Is that Ms. Makayla Gardner?” a cold voice said.

Upon hearing the voice, Makayla knew there wasn’t anything good await. She tightened her pinch on the phone and said, “Yes, this is she.”

“Ms. Gardner, please come to the police station in one hour. We need your cooperation for an investigation,” the person on the other end said.

Makayla’s expression changed. “For an investigation? What… what’s it about?”

The only thing that she had done recently, which could be taken care of by the police, was to attack Ms. Reed.

She wondered if the police meant this case.

If so, it also meant Sharon Kay had ratted her out.

However, Makayla refused to believe it. Although Sharon knew what Makayla looked like, she didn’t know her name. Even if Sharon ratted her out, the police shouldn’t have found her so quickly. After all, the police couldn’t scan Sharon’s memory to see who she was.

Hence, Makayla didn’t think it was because of that.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.

However, the policeman’s words dimmed the ray of hope in Makayla’s mind. “You’re suspected of having attacked Ms. Amber Reed.”

Bam!

Makayla’s hands loosened. Her phone dropped to the floor, and the screen turned black.

She stiffed, standing there motionlessly. Her hands and feet turned cold. She couldn’t help trembling all over.

It turned out to be that case.

She had been found by the police.

She wondered if the secret that Ms. Reed was the real Makayla Gardner would be disclosed.

She also thought about Hayden, wondering what he would think about her if he knew she had betrayed him.

The massive horror electrified Makayla for a moment, making her hard to breathe.

She didn’t want to go to the police station.

She knew probably she wasn’t able to come back after going there.

However, if she wouldn’t go…Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Thinking of something, Makayla quickly squatted down and picked up the phone from the floor.

Fortunately, the phone wasn’t broken. Its screen was broken, and the phone was turned off because of the hit. She still could turn it on and use it.

Makayla quickly searched online to see the consequences of refusing to go to the police station. When she read the answers, her heart sank.

If she refused to go after receiving the call, the police would come to her residence and take her away forcibly.

In that case, the crime she had committed would be announced in public. Her parents would also know.

Makayla couldn’t let her parents know about it.

Biting her lower lip, she decided to go to the police station. As long as she wouldn’t admit it, the police couldn’t do anything to her.

Thinking of that, Makayla took a deep breath and went back to the dining room.

Mrs. Gardner noticed her face paled as if she had been horrified. Feeling sorry, she asked, “What happened, Makayla? Did that shameless couple scold you?”

“Not really. I just recalled something unhappy. Dad, Mom, I want to take a walk outside.” Makayla’s eyes twinkled a bit. She looked at Trenton and his wife.

Trenton nodded in agreement. “Sure. I’ll wire you some allowance. Go get something you like.”

“Thank you, Dad,” Makayla said.

Trenton smiled. “You are my only daughter. Don’t mention it.”

Makayla looked down to cover the darkness in her eyes.

The better the Gardner couple treated her, the less she wanted to leave the Gardner family. It wasn’t only because of their wealth but also their love.

Hence, Makayla couldn’t lose her identity. She would try her best to go through this crisis.

Pinching her hands, Makayla left the Gardner’s and went to the police station.

Amber and Hayden were also on the way there.

Probably Heaven had its plan- their cars almost arrived at the police station simultaneously.

Then the three encountered each other at the entrance.
