Chapter 38 Enmity
“I just did what a lawyer should do and helped him analyze the situation.
When a wife encounters an accident, the first suspect of the police is often the husband. This is an unwritten rule.
If the police can't find the real suspect, they will probably target him.
suggested that he go out and hide, and come back when the police find the real suspect. "
Alyssa shook her head, "I don't believe it, Steven is not a fool, he ran away, the police will suspect him even more."
"You are right. It was really not easy to persuade him, but there were some small episodes, that is, those photos found at your parents' house."
Alisa bit her lip, "Didn't you post those photos? What does it have to do with Steven?"
"I've explained it many times. Those photos have nothing to do with me. It's you who have been wronging me."
"What about the photo?"
“Someone put photos in your courier box. Steven saw those photos and put them in your parents’ house. The police found this out and suspected him of committing the crime.
Steven was taken to the police station, and my words came true.
He got scared and ran away at my instigation. "
"If the photo matter has nothing to do with you, how do you know so clearly?"
"I am Steven's lawyer. He contacted me the first time the police came to the door. I know what he has done and what the police have said."
"Damn it, Steven knows I'm at the club..." Alyssa sobbed softly.
“He knew all along, and he just doesn’t care, just treats you like a cash cow.”
"I don't believe your nonsense."
Dave sighed softly, "Alyssa, what I said is true. Some time ago, Steven took fifteen thousand dollars from me. Did he tell you?"
"Why should I trust you?"
"I will never lie to you." Dave took out an IOU, "See for yourself if it is his handwriting."
Alyssa picked up the IOU, stroked the writing on it with her hand, "What is he borrowing so much money for?"
"I don't know, maybe I was fooling around with some woman."
Alisa stared at Dave and said coldly, "Weren't you two best friends? You just hate him that much."
"You're right, we used to be best friends, and if it wasn't for you, we should still be now. The only complaint I have with you is that you made me lose my best friend."
"You are a lunatic, I never took the initiative to seduce you, you made things like this!"
"You are right, I am hopelessly in love with you."
"what do you love me for?"
"Do you remember the first time we met?
I still remember.
During the summer vacation of my junior year, Steven and I went to the shopping mall to work part-time, and you happened to be there.
I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. I took the initiative to approach you, but I didn't dare to talk to you.
The summer vacation is over, I mustered up the courage to confess my love to you.
You said that studies are the most important thing, and you don't want to fall in love yet.
I believe it.
I studied hard, took the LSAT exam, passed the jd application, felt that I was worthy of you, and wanted to confess my love to you again, but found out that you were dating Steven. "Dave showed a bit of bitterness and said hoarsely,
“I still remember the mood at that time, despair, helplessness, anger, what is the point of my efforts?
The person I like becomes my good friend's woman. No one can understand the pain. "
Alyssa shook her head slightly, "I didn't promise you anything at the time? It's hard to tell about the relationship. It's been so many years, I thought you didn't care anymore."
"My feelings for you have never changed."
"Then why did you deliberately alienate me? I can feel it. You didn't seem to like me later, and you didn't take the initiative to talk to me anymore."
"I'm deliberately alienating you.
Every time I see you and Steven together, my heart aches and I feel unspeakably uncomfortable. what can I do? I can't forget you, all I can do is stay away from you. "
"You are right, I have money and status, and many women like me.
I tried...but no one can replace you.
Not only do I alienate you, but I also rarely contact Steven. I know Steven has been complaining, saying that I have money and look down on him.
No, I have no choice but to stay away from you.
I have always chosen to suffer in silence..." Dave rubbed his cheeks and sighed, "Originally, I thought this would be the end of my life.
But, I saw you at the club...
I was going to explode at the time, the goddess I couldn't ask for, the muse in my heart..."
Dave clenched his fists tightly, showing an angry look, "I wanted to kill people, kill everyone in the club."
Alyssa's eyes were red, "I don't want to go to that kind of place to dance...but I want to live."
"This is also where I am angry, I have always loved you deeply, and I have the ability to let you live a good life, but you chose Steven.
I came to you and wanted to help you, give you money, but you refused.
Later, you thought that I took the photo secretly, and you had a big fight with me.
I was really sad.
But I feel sorry for you more. I know I must take action. I want to protect you and rescue you from the quagmire.
I did it. "
Alyssa shook the iron chain on her right hand, "This is how you free me, lock me in the basement like a prisoner."
“People’s life has inertia.
If I don't, will you leave Steven? Can you break away from your life dancing in the club?
Only in this way can you find a new life. "
"You're crazy."
"Maybe, I'm willing to go crazy for you."
Alyssa's voice choked up, with a hint of pleading, "Dave, will you let me go? Please."
"What would you do if I let you go?"
"I will tell the police that I ran away from home and will never betray you. We are still good friends."
Dave shook his head, "I didn't mean this, would you choose Steven, or me?"
"I have no idea."
Dave pinched his head with his right hand, "You still choose him? Why?"
Alisa's lips trembled slightly, "No, I won't choose him, he ran to Mexico City regardless of my safety, which means he gave up on me.
I will not choose him again.
But you have to give me some time, I can't accept you all at once. "
"Alyssa, I'm a lawyer, you can't fool me." Dave stood up, turned and left, "Remember to eat the cake on the table, I'll come see you tomorrow."
"Dave, don't go, please let me go." Alyssa cried out in despair, but she still didn't keep Dave, her emotions broke down,
"You bastard, why are you doing this to me? Do you think it's great to be rich? I don't care about your dirty money!"
Dave closed the basement door and let out a long sigh of relief, "God, why did you do this to me? Let me meet the woman I love the most, but separate us deliberately."
"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door outside.
Dave immediately became vigilant. After confirming that the door to the basement was closed, he went straight to the gate and checked the door through the access control video. An old lady with gray hair was holding a plate in her hand.
Dave breathed a sigh of relief. This is the old lady of the neighbor's house in the east. She likes to give the desserts she baked to her neighbors the most.
Very enthusiastic, but also very annoying.
Dave adjusted his clothes and unlocked the door.
"boom!"
The door was slammed open.
"lapd!"
