After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 470

Things remained peaceful even a few days after I met with Lincoln. I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed that Lincoln did not attempt anything. Furthermore, I felt that he cared about Michael. Therefore, I believed he would not want to see Michael and I suffer.

I had already decided that it did not matter how Lincoln treated me. As long as he did not obstruct my relationship with Michael and let Amaury return to my side, I could pretend that nothing had happened. Although there would always be resentment between us, I was willing to let it go for Michael's sake.

However, I soon discovered that I was too naive. Lincoln had never planned to allow Michael and me to remain together. He had been doing something else for the past few days. That was why things seemed so peaceful.

Today, Michael asked the nanny to bring Amaury to Birchwood. The nanny and I spent the day playing with Amaury. Although he had to return to the Shaw residence every night, I was content to be able to spend time with him during the day.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I frowned and wondered who it was. As I was holding Amaury, I asked the nanny to check the door. I was confused to see two police officers walking into the house.

One of the police officers looked at me and asked, “Are you Anna Garcia?”

I stood up and had a bad feeling. However, I still answered, “Yes, I am. You are...”

No one could stay calm when police officers suddenly entered their homes.

“Good morning. We are police officers. Someone made a report saying that you intentionally hurt a person a year ago. Therefore, please come with us to the police station to aid our investigation,” the same police officer continued in an emotionless tone.

However, as he was still speaking, the other police officer walked toward me, holding a pair of handcuffs.

I began to panic upon seeing the handcuffs. Fear rushed to my head. “What intentional hurt? You have not explained the matter to me!”

I put Amaury on the couch and was trembling all over. He said something that happened a year ago. Could it be about Josephine?

“It is the matter concerning the Shaw family. Ms. Garcia, we don't have any evidence yet, so we request that you cooperate with our investigation. If you refuse, we have no choice but to bring you to the police station by force.” The police officer looked at me impatiently. His tone was cold and carried a hint of threat.
Things remained peaceful even a few days after I met with Lincoln. I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed that Lincoln did not attempt anything. Furthermore, I felt that he cared about Michael. Therefore, I believed he would not want to see Michael and I suffer.

Since he had explained why he was here, I would have been an idiot if I still did not understand what was going on. He was talking about the incident concerning Josephine.

The police officers suddenly appeared in the house and said I intentionally hurt someone a year ago. Therefore, I firmly believed that the complainant was none other than Lincoln.

I felt furious when I realized that Lincoln was the one who reported me. I did not expect him to be so heartless as to do this to separate me from Michael.

At this moment, I had no choice but to cooperate with the police officers. Seeing that I was willing to cooperate, they did not handcuff me. On the other hand, the nanny was stunned with shock at the side.

I went to the nanny and instructed her, “Please take care of Amaury. Once Michael returns, tell him that I am at the police station.”

Although I had gathered enough connections overseas, this was still the Shaw family's territory. Therefore, if Lincoln wanted to send me to prison, it would be an easy matter for him.

The nanny nodded and looked at me with panic in her gaze. I smiled at her and followed the police officers out of the house.

At the police station, the police officers brought me to the interrogation room. Then, they began to question me about what happened a year ago. Now that things had come to this, I wondered if I should tell the truth. Otherwise, I could end up in prison.

However, I had agreed to take the blame for Steven because I didn't want him to go to prison. Therefore, if I tell the truth now, it would be as if I did not help him at all.

“Anna, I'm asking you again. Did you hurt Mrs. Shaw? Did you push her intentionally?” asked one of the police officers.

I kept mum because I did not know what to say.

Therefore, he repeated the same questions sternly.

I took a deep breath and tried to remain calm before answering, “It was me. Mrs. Shaw and I were quarreling then when I accidentally pushed her. It was a coincidence that she hit the table. I had not intended to hurt her.”

I looked up calmly at the police officer questioning me. In actuality, I was panicking inside.
