Secretly Married for 4 Years, He Regrets to Tears After the Divorce-Chapter 116: She Is Not Allowed to Leave

Kevin Dawson forwarded the post to Adrian Lancaster.

Adrian Lancaster scanned it quickly, picking out the keywords.

Once he had a general understanding of the situation, his expression grew grim and cold, a frosty layer settling over his features.

Whether Wren Sutton’s actions were intentional or an accident, the fact that Maya Marshall fell from the rockery was undeniable. Wren bore an inescapable responsibility and was the prime suspect.

Only the two of them were on the rockery at the time. The security footage captured it clearly; the objective facts couldn’t be faked.

"I’ve only been out of Aston for a day, and she’s already caused this much trouble for me."

Kevin Dawson looked worried. "President Lancaster, what’s our next move? Your wife has been summoned by the police. If the Lancaster family doesn’t intervene, I’m afraid they won’t release her."

Adrian Lancaster, of course, knew this. If he didn’t pull some strings, Wren Sutton wouldn’t be getting out.

"Right now, the most important thing is Maya Marshall’s condition. Contact the hospital, get their best doctors. We have to save her life, no matter what."

Kevin Dawson understood the deeper meaning behind his boss’s words and didn’t question the decision.

"And about your wife..."

Adrian Lancaster’s dark eyes were deep and unreadable. The photo from last night resurfaced in his mind, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged faintly.

’Such a huge incident happened today, and Wren Sutton still hasn’t called me for help. Is she still counting on that strange man from the photo to save her?’

"Suppress the online posts for now. We’ll deal with everything else after I get back to Aston."

"Yes, President Lancaster."

「...」

After Wren Sutton cooperatively gave her statement, an officer led her to an adjacent office to wait, temporarily forbidding her from leaving.

Wren Sutton accepted this calmly, showing little emotion.

She believed that justice would prevail. The police would eventually uncover the truth and clear her name.

"Excuse me, what’s Maya Marshall’s condition right now?"

"She’s still in emergency surgery."

"..." Wren Sutton propped her forehead up with her hand and sat down heavily. When she closed her eyes, all she could see was the bright red bloodstain on the stone path.

A moment later, she was alone in the office. She took out her phone and called Isla Griffith, asking her best friend to take care of Zoey since she probably wouldn’t be coming home tonight.

The online posts had been completely scrubbed, so no related information could be found in a search. Because of this, Isla Griffith still didn’t know what had happened.

"What’s wrong? Don’t hide it from me."

Wren Sutton didn’t hide anything, giving her a brief and concise summary of the events.

Isla Griffith was so stunned after hearing the story that she completely lost her composure.

Her first reaction was that there was no way Wren Sutton would have pushed Maya Marshall. Maya must have orchestrated the whole thing, intentionally throwing herself down.

’It’s a classic move for a villainess in a novel, a way to frame the female lead.’

"That bitch Maya Marshall, she framed you on purpose."

"I don’t understand why she’d take such a huge risk to frame me, even willing to gamble with her own life. The rockery at the Quinn Family’s estate isn’t low. She must have known that a fall like that would leave her dead or disabled. Besides, she’s also..."

A chilling thought occurred to Wren Sutton. ’It seems Maya Marshall was planning to use her own life and her child’s as a wager to force Adrian Lancaster to avenge them. What a crazy woman.’

"The more seriously she’s injured, the more sympathy she’ll get." Isla Griffith saw right through it. She wanted to help but couldn’t, pacing back and forth in her living room.

Her connections were mostly in the entertainment industry; she had no pull within the judicial system. She wanted to get Wren out of the police station, but she was willing but unable to help.

"Have you contacted Adrian Lancaster?"

"No."

"With something this huge, I don’t believe for a second he doesn’t know. With his power, getting someone out is a piece of cake, but he’s just sitting back and doing nothing." Isla Griffith was so angry her stomach hurt, feeling it was all so unfair to her best friend.

"What’s the use of a man like that!"

A bitter, self-deprecating smile touched Wren Sutton’s lips.

"Even if he knows, all his thoughts are with Maya Marshall. Why would he spare a moment for me? He’s probably at the hospital right now."
