Chapter 1816: Chapter 1819: She Goes All Out to Compete with Evelyn Lucas (1)
Frank Chamberlain thought the police were looking for him, and he stood up to take responsibility in front of the public and the cameras.
"I will go to the hospital myself to apologize to the pregnant woman whose life was at risk, and I will explain to the public, but I absolutely will not admit to murder."
Frank Chamberlain’s expression was serious, showing a look of dignified righteousness.
Albert Chamberlain was the leader of the Chamberlain family; even if he didn’t like his eldest son, he stood up to support him at this moment.
With the dual pressure from the Presidential Palace and the Chamberlain family, ordinary police officers would surely retreat.
But no one expected that the other party didn’t even glance at Frank Chamberlain and Albert Chamberlain, instead directly bypassing them to ask the people around.
"Who here is Evelyn Lucas? The person we’re looking for is Evelyn Lucas, please step forward..."
Evelyn Lucas!?
The police were actually looking for Evelyn Lucas!
In an instant, everyone’s gaze swiftly turned to the woman embraced by Frank Chamberlain.
Although they didn’t know why the police were saying Evelyn Lucas was suspected of murder, their curiosity was completely piqued.
"Are you Evelyn Lucas, Lady?" The police had already confirmed their target from the looks of the people around.
They walked up to Frank Chamberlain and spoke to Evelyn Lucas.
"I... I am." Evelyn Lucas’s heart skipped a beat, though she didn’t show it on her face, she was already faintly uneasy.
But suspected of murder...
She didn’t know what the other party actually knew.
Was it Tara Hammond, or Bella Scott?
"Lady Lucas, we received a report that you are suspected of murdering a woman of Eastonia nationality, Bella Scott, last Monday, which is the eighteenth of this month in the afternoon. Now, please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation."
"Murder? No, impossible!" Evelyn Lucas’s pupils shrank, she immediately denied it.
"This is defamation, I have never even met Bella Scott, she is Hannah Ford’s mother, there’s no enmity between us, why would I murder her!?"
Evelyn Lucas finished speaking and held Frank Chamberlain tightly, "Mr. Chamberlain, someone wants to target our Presidential Palace. Today’s events, your wedding, the drugging, the pregnant woman, the murder, it’s all a conspiracy! You can’t let them take me away, you must get to the bottom of this!"
Frank Chamberlain’s brow furrowed, his heart was in fierce conflict.
On one hand, he desperately wanted to protect Evelyn Lucas.
But on the other hand, he also had to consider himself, the entire Chamberlain family.
A moment later, he made a decision.
"Lady Lucas is the widow left by the former president, and as the current president, I have an obligation to be responsible for her. You police want to arrest her, you must have evidence. If anyone could make a report and take a person from my Presidential Palace, then would the Presidential Palace ever function normally in the future?"
Frank Chamberlain finished speaking and looked at his guard.
The guard immediately stepped forward and blocked the police.
"Indeed, Lady Lucas is the former first lady and belongs to the Presidential Palace. Do you have an arrest warrant issued by the Police Department to arrest people from the Presidential Palace? Without an arrest warrant, without evidence, we will never hand over people. This is the Presidential Palace, not a place where you can act recklessly."
The arrogance of the Presidential Palace was indeed the exemption power it had enjoyed over the years.
Unless there was irrefutable evidence, merely receiving a report was not enough to take someone from their hands.
The media, eager for sensation, all carried cameras and broadcasted live.
Though curious about the police wanting to arrest Evelyn Lucas, deep down they were somewhat skeptical that Evelyn Lucas would actually commit murder.
Most likely, it’s a misunderstanding!
Just as they were thinking this, a sudden voice emerged from the crowd.
"It was I who reported the case! I can prove that Evelyn Lucas personally murdered my mother!"
