My Cheating Wife Tried to Murder Me novel Chapter 5

"Murder?"

I couldn't believe it was this serious. I thought it was just a hit-and-run, maybe caused by road rage.

But the officer said it might be murder.

Cynthia's expression changed. "What do you mean? Wasn't it just that he didn't drive carefully? How could there be another driver involved?"

The police looked at Cynthia and explained that the malicious tailgating incident that night wasn't a random event. The driver had investigated me beforehand.

Why would an ordinary person like me warrant that kind of effort?

Cynthia followed us to give a statement, and with the cyberbullying case, they arrested several people at once.

"I'm sorry. It's not that I didn't believe you. It's just... I thought..."

"Is it because Carsen told you something, and you just believed him?" I asked coldly.

Cynthia was about to argue, but she realized she was at fault and apologized to me the whole way.

She wasn't the only one who owed me an apology. The innocent girl who got dragged into this mess deserved one too. They would all have to pay for what they did!

While I was hanging on for dear life, calling for help after falling off the cliff, Cynthia was taking intimate photos with Carsen happily. I was so badly cheated by her!

"Carsen was just my good friend. I swear I didn't betray you."

Cynthia had always been good at playing coy. In the past, she'd just lower her head a bit, and I wouldn't even make her beg.

I would eagerly approach her. Everyone said I was too much of a pushover for Cynthia. Damn, I really was a simp for her.

The driver denied investigating me beforehand. Even when the evidence was placed right in front of him, he refused to admit it.

He claimed it was an accident, that I had cut him off and he got a bit angry, not realizing how severe the consequences would be.

The investigation was at a standstill. Without substantial evidence, it had to be put on hold. They told me not to worry and to focus on dealing with the cyberbullying issue first.

Carsen started to panic, pointing at Cynthia.

"She made me do it! I was just an accomplice."

"What?" Cynthia was stunned. She never expected Carsen to turn on her so quickly, claiming it was all her idea and that he didn't know anything.

"You told me Wayne went to see his mistress, and you even showed me a video. I only believed you because of that..."

I never thought they would start tearing each other apart so quickly.

Cynthia had always said that Carsen was the only person in this world who matched her best, the one whose soul resonated with hers.

"Cynthia, Wayne is your husband. He won't let you go to jail," Carsen coaxed Cynthia, saying it was just a temporary measure.

Cynthia, who was so naive, actually believed him. Soon enough, she stopped defending herself and let Carsen manipulate her.
