Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 395 Detain You for 48 Hours

That night, Penelope texted me and said Daryl was permanently removed from my case.

I figured she reported him when she returned. Plus, with Zack applying pressure, they had to switch to a different police officer.

I was unafraid of being investigated, but I shouldn't have been targeted. I thought I would never cross paths with Daryl again, but he came to my ward the next day. He showed his police identification, but the bodyguards held him off.

I saw that he came alone, so I let him in.

He coldly glanced at my nurse, Nina.

"Ms. Green, I would like to speak to you privately."

"Nina, please excuses. This officer needs to talk to me,"

Nina wanted to say something but stopped hersell, She only left when I nodded at her..

Istraightened myself, blocking the phone that was recording behind me. I made preparations when I knew he was at the door. I needed a drastic method to handle a maniac like him

"Is there anything I can help you with, Officer Thompson? Or is this about Amelia?"

He snorted and scanned the items in my ward

"How lovely it is to have money! Such nourishing supplements you have, sk, tsit. Eva Green, you've lived your life so lavishly. The terminal illness is a good look on you."

"What does this have to do with your visit?" I coldly asked

He sat on the chair opposite me.

"Eva Green, stop playing games. You're responsible for the issue with Harmon Group's project. You signed all the documents. Don't get cocky and think you can get away with this with Leonard's help. Plus, you've intentionally hurt someone twice. Do you think you're above the law?"

His gaze turned sinister. I could tell that he wanted me dead.

I never thought the power of one's first love would be so intense. He really adored Lily. He adored her enough to forego his work ethic to make things difficult for me

*I can because I did nothing wrong." I shrugged indifferently.

Legal punishment only worked if I had broken the law

The bodyguards were outside, and the hospital was secured. At this moment, I just wanted to trigger him. I would never be able to drive this madman away if I didn't have concrete proof

wrong. Even if you want to pin it on me, you can't, Plus, Leonard is not helping me with the issue in the project;

I sincerely said, "I didn't do anything wrong Harmon Group is helping me

"Even if he cares for me, it's none of your business. I'm sure you've looked into this. Leonard and I go way back. No one can replace what we used to have."

My tone had never changed, but a mocking smirk hung at the comer of my lips.

As expected, Daryl was outraged.

He furiously walked toward me. "Who do you think you are, Eva Green? Do you think Leonard would protect you forever? The moment you divorced him. you're nothing but a dying woman. But I won't let you die so easily. People like you should rot away on earthy before going to hell."

Trould sense that he wanted to lay his hand on me but was afraid to do so,

The next moment, he forcefully grabbed my hand

"You're following me back to the police station. I'm detaining you for 8 hours. Let's see how long you can put on this arrogant facade. Since someone made a police report, as a police officer, I need to seek justice for the people!

As he was about to drag me down the bed, the bodyguards opened the door

They barged in and shoved him away. Penelope charged in too.

"Deryl Thompson, have you lost yemand? How could you come to see Eva alone?

Penelope utretched her arms and shirkdet me behind her

"It peake't want to be a poltreffend age, resign. Ton't tarnish the reputation of the force. Do you have any idea dut what you re doing
