The atmosphere at the police station was hectic. The three girls who accused Fae of being involved in Hendrik''s assault repeatedly tried to hit Fae. Fortunately, the girl was protected by several female police officers who invited her to sit down and interrogate her carefully.

    "I don''t know what they''re talking about. I have nothing to do with the assault case. I don''t even know him," Fae said over and over.

    "But they said you met Hendrik Milne twice. The first time was at the Magnolia cafe where you work, and the second time was at an ice cream parlor in the Old Town area."

    "That''s true, but on both occasions, he was the one who was harassing me. I don''t know him at all. I have nothing to do with him," said Fae, trying to explain her situation.

    "This is quite suspicious. He was suddenly attacked by some mysterious people not long after the argument between you two," said the policewoman again.

    Fae shook her head impatiently. "Officer, there was no argument between him and me. What happened was he was harassing me twice, and in both times, some strangers helped me. I don''t know who they are, but I am very grateful to them. Without them, I may not be here right now."

    "But Mr. Milne said that one of the men who helped you claimed to be your husband .. Is that true? Were you lying just now? You said you don''t know the person who helped you, but the victim said the man claimed to be your husband. He said the relationship between you and that man looked very close." The officer started to raise her voice. "The victim also recognized one of the men who broke his leg as the man who had participated in beating him at the Magnolia Café ..."

    Fae immediately furrowed her brows.

    Karl?

    Did Ren send Karl to break Hendrik''s legs?

    She didn''t know what to say. Fae did not know whether Karl was really involved or not. If it was true, she understood why Hendrik was so adamant of accusing her. He must have thought Fae was the mastermind behind his attack.

    "As I thought, she must be someone''s mistress. Just put her in prison and her protector will come out," said the curly-haired girl who seemed to be Hendrik''s girlfriend. Her face was red with anger. "I told this whore that Hendrik is the Mayor''s son but she still dared to send people to attack Hendrik. That means, she has a powerful man backing her. That''s why she couldn''t care less that Hendrik is the mayor''s son."

    Fae could only roll her eyes when she heard girl accused her incessantly. Deep inside, she was relieved that she threw away her cellphone so that the police couldn''t connect her to Ren.

    When the situation was getting hot, suddenly from the front door of the police station, entered a beautiful young woman wearing expensive outfits from head to toe. She walked with graceful steps and a slightly arrogant attitude that made people unconsciously held their breath.

    Fae turned to see what the people around her were staring. She immediately found who it was that caught everyone''s attention.

    She sighed and looked away. Fae didn''t want Amelia to help her at the police station at all. However, she realized that Ren must have sent his secretary to free Fee without getting himself involved.

    Even though Fae really didn''t like Amelia, she couldn''t help but accept this arrogant girl''s help. She realized that if she insisted on not wanting to be helped, it would make Ren worry.

    "Good day, Officer. I heard that a distant relative of mine was the victim of a wrongful arrest," said Amelia in a cold voice as soon as she arrived at the table where Fae was being questioned.

    "Good afternoon, Lady Amelia. Welcome. Who do you mean is the victim of a wrongful arrest?" asked the officer who was interrogating Fae.

    Amelia tilted her chin at Fae. Her face seemed to be smiling faintly but her expression didn''t look friendly at all. She then let out a short sigh. "This girl''s name is Fee Muller. She is my distant relative from the village. It seems there is a misunderstanding here. She cannot possibly be involved in an assault case."

    The three girls who accused Fae looked at each other in astonishment. They all knew who Amelia Genevieve was. She was a famous socialite, the only daughter of Baron Genevieve, who had close ties to the royal family.

    That country girl was Lady Amelia''s distant relative? It was so hard to believe.

    Secretly, the three girls looked at each other with frowns. They were now increasingly suspicious that Fae was the mastermind behind Hendrik''s assault. She must have that confidence by being related to the Genevieve family.

    However, if that was the case ... the girls realized they couldn''t do anything. The position and wealth of that old noble family were extremely high and could not be compared to that of the Milne family.

    Ahh .. Apparently, Hendrik was having bad luck. He picked on the wrong girl.

    Amelia spread her gaze around the police station and spoke menacingly.

    "My family is not going to let this go. We will find out who is responsible for the wrongful arrest and frame my cousin with vile charges."

    The three girls immediately shrugged in fear. They pinched and scolded each other, not wanting to take the blame. Dammit! Even if Fae was really involved in the attack, this time, there was nothing they could do.

    "I ... I only heard about her involvement from Hendrik and reported it to the police according to what I heard from him ..." said one of the girls hurriedly. "Please, just ask the victim directly."

    "We only shared what we hear from Hendrik," her friend added. "We were not there when it happened, so we cannot bear witness to the case."

    Fae just rolled her eyes at the three girls'' change in the attitudes. Even though she was annoyed that Amelia was sent to help her, Fae felt grateful that she didn''t have to defend herself for long at the police station.

    This was how it was in the world. Even though she was innocent, if she came from the lower class and had no one to protect her, then she would still be interrogated and may be considered guilty. Meanwhile, Amelia could just swing by and used her family name that was rich and powerful ... and Fae was immediately freed of all charges.

    "Please pardon us for this misunderstanding, Lady Amelia," the police chief himself hurriedly apologized. "I don''t think there''s any way any member of the Genevieve family would do anything despicable. We will continue to look for the real culprit who wronged Mr. Milne."

    Amelia just shrugged. "Please do that."

    "In that case, we will release Lady Amelia''s cousin and interrogate the other witnesses to collect more information."

    "Hmm ..." Amelia narrowed her eyes and now looked at Fae. "Come home. You almost embarrassed the family."

    Fae rolled her eyes at Amelia''s words and immediately rose to her feet. She took her bag from the police desk and walked out.

    "Hey .. you ungrateful wench! Aren''t you even going to say thank you??" cried Amelia as she walked along with Fae. After the two of them went outside, a driver came to open the passenger door of a luxury Mercedes.

    "Come in, Madame," said the driver respectfully. Fae suspected this was Amelia''s car and driver.

    She didn''t want to go home with the girl, so Fae hurriedly walked away and stopped a taxi.

    As soon as the taxi stopped, she immediately jumped inside and gave him her home address. Amelia, who didn''t have time to chase her, could only stand akimbo and grumbled.

    "That village girl is so ungrateful. She has no manners," she said on the phone to Ren. "This is the first and last time I''m helping her."

    Ren nodded on the other end of the phone. He knew Fae still hated Amelia and certainly didn''t like the fact that the one who was sent to help her at the police station was Amelia. However, as Fae''s husband, Ren felt the need to talk on behalf of his wife and say thank you.

    "Amelia .. thank you for your help. Fae didn''t ask for your help. It was I. So, it''s only natural for me to thank you," the man said calmly.

    Amelia snorted unhappily. "You owe me one."

    "I understand," replied Ren.

    "One day, I''ll collect your debt," said Amelia again.. She then hung up the phone before Ren could respond to her words.
