Chapter 771
"I'm telling you the truth; otherwise, why would some women cheat due to loneliness? Not just psychologically, but also mentally." Lucas took a deep drag of his cigarette. "I guess Megan gave Rex thirty million because she was threatened."
Among the three, only Lucas was the calmest right now.
Joseph quickly caught on.
If Megan just wanted to have sex with Rex, why would she pay him thirty million dollars?
"Let's talk about this after Megan is set free," Joseph suggested.
A short while later, Joseph got in the car.
It had been a busy day. Joseph just wanted to calm down and think about his and Megan's future.
A few minutes later, he called Nathaniel and said, "I need all the details about Megan’s case."
Megan only spent a day and a half in the police station.
But it felt like an eternity. Megan had been interrogated by the police every minute.
"Do you know if Rex was taking drugs?"
"Did Rex take your money to buy drugs? Why did you give him thirty million?"
"You visit the apartment several times a week, stayed there for hours, and came out with different clothes. What's your relationship?"
"Why didn't you report when Rex went missing?"
"Do you know if Rex brought women back?"
"Did you know Rex was dead?"
Megan tried to stay calm, but the sharp question pushed her to hysterically deny, "I didn't. There is nothing between me and Rex."
"Megan, we have obtained surveillance near your apartment building. If you refuse to cooperate, we have reason to suspect you hired someone to kill Rex."
The police pointed at Megan sternly, "Listen, you were the closest person to Rex. Hiding things won't help because Joseph already knows. Joseph was at the police station yesterday afternoon. That's why you're still not released."
At that moment, Megan felt like she was over.
Shaking, Megan realized her worst fear had come true.
Now was not the time to panic. Megan couldn't go to jail, and those people killed Rex. She had no involvement afterward, so the police couldn't blame her for Rex's murder.
After a calm ten minutes, Megan's eyes welled up, and she suddenly burst into tears. "I didn't mean to hide anything..."
Megan was released at seven o'clock the next evening. She was still wearing the wedding dress from the day before, but it was dirty and her makeup was smudged after spending so much time at the police station. She looked pale and tired.
When Joseph saw Megan, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity. The Megan he remembered was so beautiful. He couldn't pinpoint when she had become so disheveled. "Joseph," Megan said, tears streaming down her face.
She tried to reach out to him, but he quickly stepped away, avoiding her embrace.
Megan stared blankly at Joseph, her eyes filled with hurt, regret, and anguish.
