The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 831

It turned out that Lola had gone out to a club, danced provocatively on stage, and been mistaken for a high-end escort by a man with deep connections. He dragged her into a private VIP room and tried to force himself on her.

Lola, already a little drunk, lost her temper. She grabbed a glass bottle and smashed it over the man's head.

Following the incident, the man's subordinates dragged her to a rundown apartment complex, forcing her to participate in an illicit, underground party. Terrified, she managed to get a call out to Marico, begging him to save her.

Marico arrived, but right in the middle of his negotiations with the man, the police stormed the building. They announced a raid for organized debauchery and rounded everyone up.

In the ensuing chaos, Marico grabbed her and made a run for it. With the cops hot on their heels, he told her to run ahead while he stayed behind to hold them off. Naturally, he was the one who ended up in handcuffs.

After hearing the whole story, Natalie fought the sudden urge to smack Lola over the head herself.

Once she secured a safe place for Lola to hide, Natalie rushed to the police station.

It was only after speaking to the officers that she realized the gravity of the situation. They had arrested twenty people in total—eight men and twelve women. Not only were they charged with organizing illicit sexual gatherings, but also with using illegal substances. After interrogations, every single person pointed the finger at Marico, claiming he was the mastermind behind the entire event.

With multiple charges stacked against him, a conviction would guarantee Marico prison time.

Natalie's heart clenched; the sheer weight of the news was almost too much to bear.

"From what I understand, my husband only went there to pick up a friend. He didn't participate, let alone organize anything," Natalie tried to explain to the officer, though she knew her words held little weight without proof.

The young male officer had already recognized her. Hearing her desperate plea, a flash of sympathy crossed his eyes.

"When we breached the room, your husband was in bed with a woman."

He didn't need to say anything else. He trusted Natalie could read between the lines.

Natalie furrowed her brow at the revelation.

"I believe my husband. He wouldn't do that. It's absolutely impossible."
