Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

With her as pale as paper, Anna did her best to walk towards the courtyard, although she seemed unable to stand still. Wayne immediately frowned upon hearing Anna’s voice and didn’t even dare to turn around.

Then Anna approached them and stood beside Wayne. She reached out to take his arm, then slowly said, “I’m Anna Wright. I can go with you.”

Tony, who was standing outside the door, took his handcuffs from his bag and approached her. However, he stopped right there when sensing Wayne’s glare at him.

Anna nodded and followed him to the police car.

When Tony was about to get into the car, he felt someone grabbing him by the collar and pulling him backward. And Tony became enraged right away.

On entering the police station, Anna was led into a small interview room. She had come here to give a statement before, but she was the one being questioned this time.
