My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

After a while, everything became silent.

Kora was tired of acting scared so she quickly regained her composure. Then did she glance, wondering how Erica was? Erica lost consciousness immediately after the impact. There was blood running from her head, quickly spreading all over the floor.

Instinctively, Kora screamed in terror. Her whole body was trembling slightly.

“Max, it’s not good. Something big happened.”

“What’s wrong Kora? I’m here, don’t be afraid.” Max asked with concern, he hugged Kora tightly to comfort him.

“Erica…” Kora said hesitantly, “Erica, she…”

“Ignore her.” Max cut in coldly.

“She’s dead.” Kora mustered up her courage to express her concern. Hearing that, Max suddenly turned his head to look at Erica.

After that, they both separated and focused on Erica – the person lying motionless on the floor, in the puddle of blood.

Kora covered her mouth with her hand when she saw Erica lying there alone. Max was panicking, fearing Erica was dead. If Erica dies, it is Max who is the killer. The crime of murder is bound to be severely punished by the law. Max doesn’t want to go to jail at all.

“That can’t happen,” Max said to himself. Then he left Kora’s side and bravely approached Erica to check her condition. Seeing that Erica was still breathing, Max showed a slight expression of relief. Kora noticed and acknowledged his gesture, so she didn’t need to ask and knew that Erica was still alive. While Max was still confused and didn’t know what to do next, Kora’s voice echoed, offering a suggestion to Max.

“Why are you sitting there dumbfounded, hurrying and taking Erica to the hospital? Otherwise, something serious and unexpected will happen. You will commit murder.”

“And what about you?” Max turned to ask Kora. He didn’t want Kora to be alone: “Will you come with me?”

“No, I will stay here to handle the scene, in case the police will question the incident,” Kora refused with a shake of her head and an explanation to prevent any misunderstanding from Max.

“Don’t worry. I can be alone.” Kora urgently urged when Max was still hesitant: “You hurry to take Erica to the hospital, lest the delay can’t be cured anymore.”

Seeing that Kora was right and that he was still emotionally unstable, Max obeyed Kora’s orders. He quickly dressed and took Erica to the hospital.

He wished that Erica wouldn’t die. At first, Max had no grudge against Erica. Max didn’t like Erica either, and because of Kora, he approached Erica. And it’s also because of Kora that he holds a grudge against Erica. Today’s incident was just an unfortunate accident and Max hopes that Erica will survive and not pursue the matter.

Max drove away from the house with a chaotic and fearful state of mind, ignoring the question of why Erica came to his place.

As for Kora, after Max left, she not only didn’t clean up the scene but also deliberately created a fake scene and injured herself. Then she reported to the police and informed her mother of the news.

…

The next day,

Erica woke up in the hospital, her head throbbing and her vision blurry. Before she could gather herself and figure out what had happened, the door to her room suddenly opened. Two police officers walked in, quickly approaching Erica.

“Hello, are you Erica Watson?” One of the two policemen expressed a probing interest.

“Yes, that’s me,” Erica answered softly. “May I ask who you are and what you need from me?”

“We’re from the city police department.” The officer introduced himself while showing his police ID to Erica.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Police?” Erica repeated with a bewildered look, “Why are you here?”

“Erica Watson. You are accused of assaulting Kora Watson, which led to her miscarriage,” the police officer stated,” The statement hit Erica’s ears immediately, causing a tremendous impact on her psychological state.

“What are you talking about?” Erica was still in a daze, falling into a state of extreme confusion.

“Please come with us to the police station to clarify the situation,” The police officer said, ignoring Erica’s bewildered expression and following orders from higher-ups.

“Is there some kind of mistake? I…” Erica stumbled to find an explanation for this confusing situation.

“We have received a complaint from Kora Watson’s family,” the police officer informed her. “We hope you will cooperate. Resistance is futile.”

Before the well-intentioned reminder, which was more of a gentle warning than an implicit threat, Erica couldn’t resist and could only reluctantly comply. After all, Erica’s involvement with Kora was a fact that was hard to deny.

…

As Erica stepped into the police station, she was immediately attacked without mercy by a sharp-tongued and bitter woman. That woman was none other than Kora’s mother.

“You are a devil in human disguise,” Kora’s mother’s voice was as spiteful as ever. “How dare you hurt Kora? Kora almost died because of you. You wicked monster.”

Erica was still in shock and didn’t understand what was happening when Kora’s mother mercilessly attacked her, hitting her in the face several times. The police only intervened when they saw Erica being attacked. However, despite their efforts to contain Mother Kora continued to act aggressively and violently towards Erica. Mother Kora continued to lunge at Erica as if she wanted to devour her, constantly insulting and cursing her.

Erica was in a state of confusion and could only grit her teeth and endure the verbal and physical assault without saying a word in defense. Even if she wanted to speak out and clear her name, she couldn’t do so because Kora’s mother kept interrupting and blocking her. The police were unable to handle the aggressive and erratic behavior of the venomous woman, and could only keep her away from Erica.

Moments later, the situation calmed down. Kora’s mother finally calmed down a bit, when Kora pleaded.

Currently, Erica and Kora, along with Kora’s mother, were sitting across from each other in a closed room. There were also two officers in the room. One was responsible for interrogation, while the other stood at the door, watching for anyone trying to break in or run away.

At that moment, during the brief moment of silence, Erica could see Kora – who was sitting in a wheelchair, with numerous injuries all over her body. And they were all caused by Erica, according to what Kora told the police. Erica had no idea what had happened to Kora after she passed out. In fact, Erica had no interest in finding out. Sooner or later, Erica would find out anyway, wasn’t that why Erica was brought to the police station on such a ridiculous charge?

The police officer’s voice suddenly rose, indicating that the tense moments were beginning.

“Erica Watson, you are accused of assaulting Ms. Kora Watson. Do you have anything to say about that?”

“It wasn’t me…” Erica was about to defend herself when she was stopped.

“Shut up.” Kora’s mother suddenly shouted: “Don’t you dare deny it. My daughter has been frequently bullied and harassed by you. You have to take responsibility for what you have done.”

“Please calm down, ma’am.” The police officer standing near Kora’s mother spoke up, requesting.

“How can I stay calm when my daughter is being treated like this? She almost got killed. Do you understand the feeling of a mother’s loss?” Kora’s mother argued with the police. Then tears streamed down her face: “Do you know how much pain I’m in?”

“We are questioning the suspect. Please maintain order, ma’am.” The interrogator spoke up, trying to calm the situation.

“There’s no point in wasting time with her, she’ll deny it all anyway,” Kora’s mother said harshly. “We have provided enough evidence, now it’s just a matter of sending her to jail. She must be properly punished for her crimes.”

“We are following due process. Please respect the police and the law,” The officer in charge firmly stated.

“But…” She was about to argue further, but Kora stopped her.

“Stop. Let the police do their thing,” Kora gently told the police. “Please forgive my mother’s rudeness. She just loves me too much.”

Everyone who heard Kora’s words thought that Kora was a filial and caring girl. The police stopped talking to Kora’s mother and the woman pretended to listen to Kora.

Erica watched the whole scene with disgust and contempt for Kora and Kora’s mother.
