Chapter 110
Although Natalie had just met Vannah the previous night, Natalie sympathized with Vannah. She did not want the poor woman to receive a death sentence.
Moreover, that man deserved it!
"No, you can't take her away. Please don't take her away." An unspeakable fear shrouded Natalie as she grabbed Vannah's hand desperately to prevent the officers from taking Vannah away.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to interfere with our work?" The officer glared at Natalie and he looked like he was going to attack Natalie.
"Everyone has freed om of speech, so how is that interfering with your work?" A crisp and cold voice suddenly rang out in the cell.
Natalie held her breath.
It was Tobias' voice. She turned to look for the source of the voice and she spotted Tobias approaching her cell calmly.
Tobias was like the sun in the narrow and dark cell.
The two police officers were good-looking and they were in their uniforms. However, they were nothing in front of Tobias.
Tobias looked dignified and he did not look like an ordinary man. Although the officers did not know Tobias, they dared not take him lightly.
"This woman is stopping us from escorting the suspect," one of the officers retorted. Tobias glanced at him. Although it was just a casual glance, his gaze was intimidating.
"Ask your director to come and meet me."
The officers were taken aback.
The man asked the director to come and meet him instead of going to meet the director himself. Evidently, he was not an ordinary man.
The two officers dared not speak and went to notify the director immediately.
After that, the events unfolded swiftly. Benjamin arrived and handed a few things to the police station.
The first piece of evidence was a video. It recorded Madison and Queenie beating up Natalie violently.
The second piece of evidence was a document issued by the hospital. Madison just suffered from minor injuries and it was not as serious as the police report claimed.
The third piece of evidence was the testimony of passersby. They witnessed that Natalie was attacked and that she had defended herself.
The director ordered the police to release Natalie and he apologized to Tobias repeatedly.
Natalie was puzzled. The director was apologizing to Tobias? How powerful was Tobias?
The director reprimanded the officers who arrested Natalie.
"Miss Godfrey did it out of self-defense, so how could you arrest her? You guys have been doing this job for years, so why don't you even know that?
How could you even arrest her without any evidence?"
Tobias watched as the director taught the officers a lesson and uttered to Natalie indifferently, "Let's go."
Natalie tailed Tobias to the entrance of the police station but she stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Tobias' dark eyes were fixed on Natalie's face.
Natalie knew that it was an awful request but she wanted to bring it up.
"Tobias, could they release the woman who was in my cell too? She's innocent." Natalie gave Tobias a pleading look.
Natalie knew that Tobias was very influential and he could help Vannah.
Tobias did not reply.
The weather was great and the warm sun shone on Tobias. He looked like he was basked in a halo of light and he looked extremely handsome.
"You know that she has to pay for her actions, right?" Tobias stared at Natalie.
Natalie's eyelashes quivered and she replied, "I know but we can't just judge everything like that. Yannah's husband abused her for a long time and he even killed her son. How could she take it?"
Natalie knew that she should not trouble Tobias but she had no choice. She wanted to save Vannah but it was impossible for Natalie to do it on her own. After a moment of silence, Tobias parted his lips to speak, "I'll help you."
Natalie was relieved.
She knew that Tobias was a man of his words and he would find a way.
Natalie stared at Tobias and replied gratefully, "Tobias, thank you."
She could never express her gratitude for him. He helped her countless times and he even promised to help her save a stranger.
"If you're that grateful, then marry me." Tobias gazed at Natalie.
Natalie decided to go all out.
"So be it! I'll marry you!" Natalie answered through gritted teeth.
She knew that Vannah had committed murder. Tobias may be powerful but he needed to pay a heavy price to save Vannah.
However, Natalie brought it up and Tobias promised to help. So what if she had to marry him?
Even if Tobias would leave her in the future, it did not mean that everything he did for her would be erased!
Therefore, Natalie was willing to marry Tobias!
Since Natalie was a child, she knew that she must repay other people's kindness.
Natalie stared at Tobias and her eyes were glowing. "Tobias, you helped me, so I'll do whatever you ask for." If Tobias helped her, he probably did it because they were pretending to be married.
Nevertheless, Tobias was helping a complete stranger. Natalie could not convince herself that he did it because they were pretending to be married, hence she must repay him.
Tobias' eyes darkened as he met Natalie's eyes.
Tobias knew very well that a girl like Natalie, who came from a family like that, would remember even the tiniest favor.
She never experienced love while growing up, hence she would amplify small favors.
Tobias did not want Natalie to be too grateful to him because it would become a mental burden. He did not want Natalie to have a burden like that.
Tobias gave Natalie a meaningful look and pointed out, "Don't thank me yet. I'm not the only one who is involved in it. You have to help too."
"Me too?" Natalie was taken aback.
She could get involved but what could she do?
She was powerless and she did not have any connections, hence it would be impossible for her to help.
Moreover, in those web novels, whenever something like that happened, the male lead just needed to make a phone call and everything would be solved, right?
"Well, well, you just need to call some high-ranking officials to settle it, right?" Natalie asked cautiously.
Tobias' eyes twitched and he snapped, "Natalie, you should stop reading web novels. If you read too much, you won't be able to distinguish between reality and fiction. Seriously, do you think that a murder case could be solved with just a phone ca11?" Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Natalie was puzzled.
A phone call and money were not enough? What price would Tobias have to pay?
"Tobias, is it very difficult?" Natalie's eyes were flickering.
"It's not that difficult but it depends on you. What will you do?" Tobias gave Natalie a meaningful look.
