Ex-Husband Wants Badly To Resume Their Marriage novel Chapter 425

Roose turned pale all of a sudden.

"No...it's not like that.I just wanted to..." she explained, lips trembling.

"What did you want?"

Master Proctor narrowed his eyes, "Perhaps you dare not offend Jameson Proctor, so you want me to take full responsibility for this?"

Rita Roose was almost breathless out of fear.

Her entire body quivered so badly that she didn't know what to say.

At this very moment, Jeffery Proctor spoke from behind her in a very clear yet low voice: "Don't be afraid.Please stand up first" 

Rita Roose got stunned with eyes wide open.She turned around but didn't dare to move an inch further.

Jeffery Proctor smiled as he leaned over and gave her a hand.

Looking at his palm, Rita Roose hesitated for a while.

Finally, she grabbed onto his hand and rose from the ground.

In the meantime, Master Proctor sounded dissatisfied: "Jeffery, you don't have to show mercy towards everyone" 

Jeffery Proctor said: "There must be some misunderstanding about it.Didn't we find that the one who got a reporter into our family was actually a man?"

"That might be her accomplice!"

Jeffery Proctor looked at Rita Roose: "It's still not too late to tell the truth.Rest assured, if you didn't do it, we will definitely NOT blame you" 

Rita Roose stood beside him and kept biting her lower lip.She finally said: "I didn't do it.I don't know what's going on..Leaning on his walking stick, Master Proctor called her names” 

"We've got all the evidence now and you are still lying!"

Rita Roose was so frightened that she hid behind Jeffery Proctor, saying abruptly: "It really has nothing to do with me! But I...I do know the man who sent the reporter.He has always been..."

"Been what?"

"He has always been helping Sharon Allyson.." 

After making up her mind to fake innocence at all costs, Rita Roose calmed down a bit.

"Moreover, it was exactly he who took Sharon away from the Proctor family.I really don't have the slightest idea as to why I became his accomplice.Perhaps I somehow offended Sharon in the designer competition, so she framed me in retaliation" 

At her words, Master Proctor squinted his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

There was indeed a man in the car on the day when Sharon Allyson left the Proctor family.

As per his investigation afterwards, that man was definitely not related in any way to Jameson Proctor.

If that was the case, then Sharon Allyson was the one who plotted the whole thing! It was almost unbelievable that she should be so foxy as to have fooled everyone including him! 

After pondering for a while, Master Proctor said, "How do you explain the recorder then?"

Compared to before, his tone had been much softer.

Rita Roose gritted her teeth and decided she might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb: "It was...Miss Beale who ordered me to do so" 

Master Proctor frowned: "Miss Beale? Which Miss Beale?"

"Natalia Beale, the daughter of Mr.Beale."

"Ahh, I see.But how did you know her?"

Rita Roose clenched her fist as she kept lying: "Like Sharon Allyson, I used to work as a designer for Lumiere Jewelry.Back then, Miss Beale was not yet engaged to Mr.Proctor, but she already knew that Sharon was Mr.Proctor's ex-wife, so she deliberately approached Sharon, and she often made use of me in dealing with her" 

Master Proctor said, "So, it was Natalia Beale who bribed the judges in the designer competition?"

"No, the bribery was engineered single-handedly by Sofia Berry" 

As soon as she finished the sentence, the wheelchair stopped.

Rita Roose turned her head before she realized that she'd said something improper.

She hastened to apologize, "Sorry, but it's just that I've never heard of that before…”

Jeffery Proctor looked at the rising sun in the distance with his fair and clear face being expressionless.

Rita Roose stood next to him but did not dare to make a sound.

After a while, Jeffery Proctor said: "You just said that the person who took Sharon away has been working for her?"

Rita Roose froze for a second before pinching the corner of her coat and nodding.

"Do You really know that person?"

"Just...a little.We are not acquainted enough in fact."

"Hmmm.." said Jeffery Proctor, looking back at her.

"You know that Sharon had her miscarriage in the car accident, right? The culprit was exactly the man who was driving the car then" Rita Roose stammered, "I don't really know" 

"It's okay if you don't know" Jeffery Proctor added, "But, may I know the man's name and where he lives?"

Rita Roose's lips parted but no sound came out.

She felt that if she told him about Bridger Fowler, this seemingly gentle man in front would definitely not go easy with her.

Jeffery Proctor smiled: "Do you mind telling me?"

The sun had risen, but Rita Roose somehow got a chill down her spine.

She hurriedly let it all out about Bridger Fowler.
