Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 162 Unfolding The Truth

Evelyn, Ronan, and Natasha were surprised beyond belief when the police officer tried to arrest Evelyn. They recited the Miranda rights after presenting the arrest warrant to the Zhou Family.

Ronan and Natasha reacted right away. Natasha pulled her mother closer to her while Ronan pushed the police officer who was trying to handcuff Evelyn.

"What is the meaning of this? Where is your Chief? Call him! I need to talk to him, NOW!" Ronan said with his stern authoritative voice.

The police officer was not intimidated by him. They knew how influential and powerful the Zhou Family was but these two police officers didn't care at all.

They wouldn't listen to Ronan's order. Kira's command was the only thing they would follow. The police officers looked at Kira meaningfully. He just gave them a nod before joining them.

With Kira's presence, the two police officers became more confident in confronting the members of the Zhou Family.

"You don't have to talk to our Chief. You have to call your lawyer instead."

Ronan's face darkened when he heard that. He couldn't use his family's influence to stop the police from arresting his wife. But he was confused why his wife became a prime suspect for Marceline's disappearance.

"Are you crazy? My niece disappeared as she committed suicide. Why are you arresting my wife for something she didn't do?" Ronan spat back at them.

"What?! Marceline committed suicide?!" Natasha heard another shocking news. She didn't have any idea that something like this happened. She was at the hospital at that time.

"We haven't confirmed it yet. She had been missing since last night. Your brother went to look for her. We are worried about her," Evelyn informed Natasha, feigning innocence.

Kira could only smirk mockingly at Evelyn. He wanted to commend her for being good at acting.

"I swear, I didn't have any involvement in Marceline's disappearance. Do you have any proof? I will sue you for this!" Evelyn simply threatened the police.

"Yes! I will never forgive you for slandering my mother! How can you do this to my loving and innocent mother? Your allegation is baseless!" Natasha was enraged. She felt like attacking and slapping these police officers.

"Who said that we don't have any proof?" The police said, smiling with confidence.

Evelyn frowned as she heard that. She suddenly felt weird while looking at the police officers and Kira. She wondered if they truly got something.

'What did they discover upon investigating? There's no way they could get anything useful in just twenty-four hours.' Evelyn was trying to convince herself that everything was under control.

"What do you mean by that? What proof?!" Ronan darted his gaze between Evelyn and the police officers.

The police officer started talking as per Kira's instruction. He wanted to know how Ronan would react once he found out the truth. Was he involved too in Marceline's assassination attempt or was it only Evelyn?

Marceline was also there, hiding in the other room. She was just using her super sense of hearing to listen to their conversation. Through her werewolf's ability, she could tell what was happening in the living room.

It seemed that she was easily adapting with her newly found power and super ability. She started to like it as it was very convenient for her. She could spy on them without their knowledge.

Meanwhile, Stella was rejoicing as she could feel that Marceline was starting to embrace her werewolf's qualities and powers. She believed that little by little, Marceline would learn to love her whole self… as a she-wolf.

Back to the living room, the police officer mentioned some of the results of their investigation.

"Marceline Zhou's blood was found in the back passenger of your head guard's car. I think there is foul play here. Marceline Zhou didn't commit suicide but she might be murdered by your guards!"

"That's preposterous! If the guards killed my cousin then why are you arresting my mother?!! She has nothing to do with this! Are you framing her?" Natasha started raising her voice. She was already boiling with rage. Evelyn was just holding her in place to calm her down.

"Then should they arrest your father instead? He also has a motive to kill my wife." Kira finally spoke up, catching everyone's attention.

Ronan glared at him. If only one glance could kill, Kira might have been dead by now because of Ronan's sharp deathly gaze.

"Don't slander me. Why would I kill my niece?! That's so ridiculous. Be mindful of your words. If there is someone suspicious here and has the motive, it's You!" Ronan put the blame on Kira.

"You seduced my niece. You are just a mere bodyguard with no strong background but she married you. You will be the one who will benefit if my niece will be gone. Her inheritance will be transferred to you!" Ronan didn't hold back.

Kira let out a sarcastic laugh, looking at Ronan with ridiculing eyes. He didn't know whether to get mad or laugh as Ronan began twisting the truth.

"You are the one who wants to have the Zhou Empire for yourself. You are greedy for power." Kira nonchalantly said while shrugging his shoulders.

A heavy tension engulfed the entire living area. Kira was clearly challenging and testing Ronan. Would he fall for this bait? Kira wondered if he could make them confess to their crimes.

Ronan could no longer control his temper. He charged in Kira's direction, throwing some punches but the two police immediately stopped him.

"Stop! Mr. Alaric didn't kill his wife. We can guarantee that! We are not yet done stating the facts. If you want to know the truth then just calm down and listen to us. Are you curious to know who plotted this scheme against your niece? Or you are already aware of this?"

"Of course, I don't know whom you are talking about? Can't you just search for my missing niece? Why are you bothering my family?" Ronan said through his gritted teeth.

"Alright. Let me enlighten you, Mr. Zhou. Finding the suicide note in the pocket of the head guard was already suspicious enough. We haven't found out yet why the three men killed each other but we discovered something upon investigating them."

"The head guard met your wife in the Golden City District Hospital just a few hours before your niece went missing. The CCTV camera of the hospital also recorded that Marceline Zhou went out together with the Zhou Family Head Guard."

Evelyn was rendered speechless when she heard that. She thought her men handled everything, not leaving any trail of evidence.

Natasha and Ronan couldn't believe what the police were telling them.

"If you don't believe us, you can check it for yourself. You can ask the copy of the CCTV recording of the hospital," The other police officer suggested.

"I have it," Kira handed his phone over to Ronan, showing him the CCTV records. Ronan's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing Evelyn and the head guard together.

But he didn't want to jump to the conclusion yet, giving Evelyn the benefit of the doubt. For him, his wife would never do that. She was the kindest person he had ever met in his entire life.

"There is no meaning behind this meet-up! My wife is a member of the Zhou Family so there's nothing wrong if she met him in the hospital. The head guard is responsible for keeping us safe. At that time, I asked for the Zhou Family guards to come because someone assaulted me. And that someone was none other than but the guy standing next to you!" Ronan pointed to Kira using his forefinger. He was hell-bent to defend his wife against this accusation.

Kira just raised his eyebrow while shrugging his shoulders. His nonchalant reactions annoyed Ronan further.

"Your wife is missing but you are here, trying to put the blame on my wife! My son was out the whole night just searching for your wife. You should be the one searching for her, why are you still here?!" Ronan continued to attack Kira with his words as he couldn't touch Kira. The police were stopping him.

"Are you framing my wife of your crime? Maybe you wish for Marceline to disappear, you don't look worried at all!" Ronan added, ridiculing Kira. He began cursing him but Kira remained calm and unaffected.

"Of course, he doesn't need to get worried at all since he already found me since last night." A feminine voice was heard at the back, making Evelyn astounded to the core.

Marceline could no longer stay still in her hiding spot. She hated the way Kira was being blamed for her disappearance. In the end, she decided to show herself to them.

"Marceline?!" Both Natasha and Ronan blurted out. They didn't expect to see her.

'Damn! She is still alive?!' Evelyn's expression slightly changed but she still managed to conceal her emotions.

Marceline shot Evelyn a cold sharp glare. Evelyn looked away almost immediately. Marceline could see through her. Evelyn could no longer fool her with her soft-hearted and kind demeanor. Marceline was now aware that everything was just her facade. Evelyn's kindness was fake!

"I'm back, but you all seem unhappy to see me," Marceline said meaningfully, smiling at them evilly.

On the other hand, Ronan didn't know whether he should feel glad or not after seeing Marceline alive. But deep inside, he felt relieved that she didn't die.

"She's alive! So go home! Don't bother us. Stop accusing my mother!" Natasha yelled at the policemen.

"No, they should stay! Someone needs to be punished today!" Marceline declared to them while her eyes were fixed on Evelyn's face.
