NovelApexChapter 807
At the police station.
"| didn't push her."
Sherilyn sat there, her eyes red and filled with despair, like a lost child, murmuring to herself. "I didn't even touch
her. How she fell, | really don't know..."
"Sis," Galen nodded earnestly, "I know, | believe you didn't!"
Edgar chimed in, "Sherilyn, we all believe you!"
"Believe me?"
Sherilyn slowly lifted her head, staring blankly at them, "Why would you believe me?"
"Sis?"
"Sherilyn?"
Galen and Edgar were taken aback. What was happening with Sherilyn?
"ARI
Suddenly, Sherilyn closed her eyes, raised her hands to her head, and shook it in agony. "You won't believe me!
Nobody will..."
She had gone through this before! That year, Caroline Bennett fell down the stairs, resulting in a miscarriage.
The baby was gone! Just like now, she and Caroline were the only ones there! Again, without any solid proof! No
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone believed her! The Johnson family didn't send her to the police, but they 'banished' her to Crestwood! Those
four years at Crestwood, the hardships she faced were almost as harsh as imprisonment!
"Sis?" Galen spoke anxiously. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to convince our family back home, you won't be in
trouble!"
Edgar added, "Yeah, Sherilyn, with Edwin Morris defending you, everything will be fine!"
Suddenly, Sherilyn's head snapped up, her eyes blazing, "When can | get out then? Jenna is waiting forat
home!"
Galen and Edgar exchanged nervous glances, falling silent.
Sherilyn's face turned pale as she let out a bitter laugh, "I can't get out, nobody will believe me! Nobody..."
"Sis?"
"Sherilyn?"
Galen and Edgar could see something was seriously wrong with Sherilyn's mood. Even Edwin Morris, who was
sitting nearby, noticed.
"Ms. Gomez," Edwin Morris stated calmly, frowning. "Given the current situation, the police have the right to
detain you for 48 hours." Sherilyn's palms began to sweat, "48 hours..."
"Yes," Edwin Morris nodded, "After 48 hours, I'll bail you out..."
At that moment, his phone rang. "Excuse me, | need to step out."
It was Gilbert. As Edwin Morris opened the door, he saw him standing tall, his eyes filled with deep concern and
tenderness.
Edwin Morris sighed softly, "You're here?"
"Mhm," Gilbert nodded, his lips
pressed into a thin line. Glancing at
Edwin Morris, he remarked
love
sarcastically, "Even a small matter like this is beyond the great attorney? Are you living up to your reputation?"
"Hey!" Edwin Morris chuckled, knowing Gilbert was just worried about his loved one. He briefly explained the
situation.
"It's a he-said-she-said situation right
now..." Because it was an old
building, the stairwell camera was just for show, leaving no direct evidence to prove Sherilyn's innocence.
Gilbert scoffed, "So, that proves she did it?"
"No," Edwin Morris shook his head, "The more tangled it gets, the messier it becomes. The law is there to protect
the vulnerable, and Yuna is still in the hospital. At the time, only she and Sherilyn were present..."
"Also, Yuna's side refuses to settle."
Meaning, they couldn't just throw money at the problem to make it go away. Thus, getting Sherilyn out easily
wasn't an option.
"We'll have to go to court." Edwin Morris furrowed his brows, worried, "Sherilyn doesn't seem to have a high
tolerance for stress. | don't know if she can handle a lawsuit."
