Chapter 148 A Life for a Life
That night, Evelyn slept well.
But what she didn't know was that after she fell asleep, there was a frenzy on the internet because of her.
A marketing account leaked that Evelyn, the murder suspect, had been released from the police station. Not many people were paying attention to her, but the revelation that she was Dermot's ex-wife increased the attention.
Dermot was a frequent topic of discussion and the dream lover of countless women.
Curiosity was what netizens loved the most, when it involved Dermot.
The blogger revealed that Evelyn was the most suspicious murder suspect, but because of Dermot's connection, she managed to leave the police station unscathed.
It should be noted that the victim this time was Mr. Dermot of the Barns family, a prominent family in Moris City. Such a family couldn't even
"Seeking justice, if it were an ordinary person..."
Everyone empathized and felt that if it were them, they wouldn't even have the chance to seek justice.
People began to curse Evelyn and question the police, even including Dermot in the blame. Internet users were filled with anger, and some radicals even revealed Evelyn's address, claiming to take justice into their own hands.
In the morning, Evelyn, unaware of what had happened, just did routines, and prepared to leave to find Aidan. Although she trusted their abilities, it was still her own situation.
As she walked to the entrance of the community, Evelyn noticed that there seemed to be more people around than usual. Before she could react, someone approached her and yelled angrily, "You murderer!"
"A life for a life!"
"Yes, a life for a life! Can having connections allow you to act lawlessly?"
A group of people surrounded her, each wearing a menacing expression, as if Evelyn was an unforgivable criminal.
Looking at them, Evelyn understood, but she wasn't too angry. "If even the police dare not call me a murderer, who are you to do so?"
"If it weren't for Dermot's connections, how could the police let you off so?" someone sneered. The person was a burly man, exuding an aura as if he wanted to charge right at Evelyn.
Evelyn looked at him, wanting to laugh. "Who told you that I was released because of Dermot's connections? Can't it be because I am innocent?"
She hadn't had the chance to see the news online and was unaware of the leaked information.
"Innocent?" the man sneered again. "The evidence is solid. How can you still claim innocence?"
Evelyn just They were foolish individuals who accepted whatever others said without any ability to think for themselves.
She stood up, preparing to leave, but the group of people seemed unwilling to let her go.
Evelyn's expression changed slightly, and her gaze cold as she looked at them. "Move aside!"
"We won't!" someone said defiantly.
"Then I'll have to call the police," she said, taking out her phone. Although she was confident that she could take down a few people, she couldn't just start a fight out of the blue.
That would give them the perfect opportunity to have her sent back to the police station.
The crowd became uneasy. While they were angry at Evelyn's privileged treatment, they didn't want to be taken to the police station themselves. Some of them decided to let her pass.
Just as the situation was teetering on the edge, a bottle of water flew towards Evelyn. She reached out to block it, but a tall figure enveloped her and blocked the water.
The water splashed everywhere, and someone got splashed, yelling in pain, "Ah! It burns!"
It was hot water!
