The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

A few minutes later, police cars and an ambulance pulled in front of the Lester family’s home.

EMTs rushed in to carry Ritchie into the ambulance on a stretcher. Patrick also followed them into the back of the ambulance.

Before shutting the door behind him, he looked at Ethan sullenly, with unfathomable emotion brewing behind his eyes.

The police immediately set out to check the surveillance footage. Ethan had briefly explained that Ritchie attempted to kill him, so he had merely acted out of self-defense.

It was not difficult to prove what he said. Patrick was always wary that someone would try to break in and steal top secret documents from his home, so he had installed security cameras everywhere in the villa, except for the bedrooms.

It was clear from the footage that Ritchie was about to stab Ethan with a fragment of the broken vase. Ethan managed to dodge and pushed Ritchie away, which was how Ritchie tumbled down the stairs.

Ethan went to the police station to make his statement, and he was kept there for the time being.

Janet was worried sick. Before Ethan had left with the police, she asked, “Shall I call Garrett? I think Ritchie’s seriously injured.”

Ethan comforted her calmly. “Go back to our house and get some rest. There’s no need to call Garrett. I’ll take care of it myself.”
