Chapter 132
Lina rejoiced in my unfortunate situation. She said, "William, you'll pay for your sinister doings. | feel relieved
that | broke up with you ages ago. Benjamin wasn't wrong. You pretended to be a rich kid initially, but greed ate
at you slowly. Eventually, it'll destroy your morals. Mr. Connaught, why won't you take the watch back from him?
He'll be imprisoned soon."
Mason spared Lina a glance as though he was staring at the dumbest woman on earth. Then, he turned to me
and asked, "Mr. White, should | teach her a lesson and avenge you?"
| shook my head slowly and said, "No need. Just like she said, she'll suffer for her wrongdoings. What goes
around comes around."
Finding someone to teach her a lesson was a blessing for her.
As they spoke, the uniformed policemen approached the stage and said, "Ryan Hudson, aren't you

Since the arrival of the police, Ryan had been pale as a sheet. When they said his name, he began trembling. His
microphone slipped and clattered onto the floor.
"No, no. It wasn't me! It wasn't me. You've made a mistake. You're detaining the wrong person."
However, before Ryan could continue spewing excuses, they climbed onto the stage and pinned his hands
behind his back before proceeding to put handcuffs on him.
Lina was struck dumb. "What are you doing? That's the wrong man you've got. He's Ryan, not William."
They said sternly, "That's exactly the man we want to detain. Cclean, Ryan. Where is your accomplice,
Lina?"
Perhaps because he knew that there was no escaping his fate, Ryan stopped explaining and screamed, "She's
not an accomplice. She's the primary perpetrator! She stole the money. I'm innocent. | was framed. It was all her
idea. It's her fault, not mine!"
When she heard this, Lina nearly fainted on stage.
She stared at Ryan in disbelief. "You... You were the one who stole one million dollars from school?"
Ryan shrieked, "Lina, why are you still pretending to be innocent? You setup to do this. Catch her, catch
her!"
| was dumbfounded. | wasn't expecting Ryan to incriminate Lina at such a moment. It looked like there wasn't
much love between them.
It was unlike Felicia, who shouldered the burden when | was accused of stealing. | immediately held Felicia's
hand and walked off the stage when I thought of this. | preferred the scene unfolding beforein comparison to
the Rolexes.
Lina was on the verge of a breakdown. Tears streamed down her face. "No. | hadn't commanded him to do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything. I'm not his accomplice, either. This has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything."
The policemen didn't believe her. They interrogated her on the spot, asking, "You didn't know? Do you not know
about your boyfriend's financial gains? He has been renting luxury cars and buying you evening gowns with
accompanying jewelry. Are you sure you have no idea where the money is coming from?"
| froze. So, his Porsche had been rented as well. Not a single item he wore belonged to him.
This would explain why Lina had ignored Ryan in the past but had recently decided to date him. After settling the
money, Ryan had becmore generous with her.
| even felt a little bad for Ryan when | figured that out.
He hadn't spent any of his bounty on himself. Instead, he devoted it all to appeasing Lina. In the end, it was a
question of whether or not she had even allowed him to kiss her. Yet, he had to sacrifice himself and his bright
future.
Why do so?
"Stop talking. Take them both away and collect their witness statements."
