Falling for My Contractual Wife

Louise's vision gradually cleared, only to suddenly realize that a woman was lying on the ground! Bright red blood was flowing from her abdomen. Shocked, Louise fell back and retreated. She reached out and lifted the woman's hair, only to discover, to her horror, that it was Shannon Adkins! How could Shannon be here? Louise looked at her hands, covered in blood, and noticed a fruit knife on the ground. Terrified, she stared wide-eyed and trembling, repeating, "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone..."

People passing by on the roadside occasionally screamed in terror. Louise wanted to run, but as she took a few steps, the sound of sirens grew closer. Soon, police officers surrounded her with guns drawn, shouting, "Don't move!"

Louise covered her head, her face pale with terror. "I didn't kill anyone... I didn't kill anyone! Please don't arrest me, don't arrest me!" she pleaded.

With a click, the sound of metal clashing, Louise's hands were cuffed. She was led into the police car.

At the end of the road, the man smiled faintly. Taking out his phone, he made a call, his thin lips curling into a cold arc. "Nova, what Louise did to you back then, I've now avenged for you. She's done for this time."

"What? What did you do to Louise?"

"Just wait and watch. The game has officially begun," Nelson whistled softly, speaking in a low voice.

Nova glanced at the abruptly ended phone call, hesitated momentarily, and then hurried off to find Brian.noveldrama

Shannon still clung to life and was rushed to the hospital for urgent treatment.

Marshall was shocked beyond measure when he heard the news. He rushed to the police station immediately. After confirming that it wasn't false information, he felt dizzy and almost collapsed. "I can't believe it! My daughter couldn't have done such a thing! Where is she? I want to see her!"

"Mr. Adkins, your daughter is currently being questioned. Please come back later!"

Marshall leaned against his forehead, slowly walking out of the police station. He looked up at the sky, his gaze lost in the dimness above.

Marshall rushed to the hospital, but Shannon had already been admitted

to the ICU, where visitation was restricted. He sighed heavily, exhaustion etching lines on his face and bloodshot eyes. He looked worn out as if he could collapse at any moment, unable to stand tall.

Nova went to the company to find Brian. "Louise is in trouble; she's been arrested. Do you know what happened?"

Brian frowned and shook his head. "Isn't she hospitalized?"

"You have someone check right away."

Brian nodded slightly and immediately had his assistant, Camren, check. Soon, Camren informed Brian about Louise stabbing Shannon.

Nova stood by and, upon hearing the news, immediately understood the implications of Nelson's phone call. Louise was being made the scapegoat this time!

"I'll go to the hospital to check on Mrs. Adkins. Do you want to come along?" Brian asked. Nova said, "You can go ahead first."

Brian glanced at her, his gaze tinged with a hint of inquiry as if he wanted to ask her something. But the

ords caught in his throat, and he held

back.

After Brian left, Nova went to find Nelson. The two met at a cafeteria, where Nelson was leisurely sipping his coffee. With a smile on his face, his voice had a sinister undertone that sent shivers down one's spine. "So, are you satisfied?"
