Chapter 88
The next moment, Sally appeared in front of Suzanne. She grabbed the latter’s wrist and faked being pushed down the stairs.
“Stop!” Sally screamed as she rolled herself down the stairs. She eventually collided with the stone statue beneath the stairs.
Blood instantly poured from Sally’s forehead.
“Murder…” Sally cried and crawled toward the soldiers with a terrified look. “Help me! Suzanne wants to kill me!”
The soldiers quickly helped Sally up and gaped at Suzanne in bewilderment.
Suzanne was dumbfounded. Sally was falsely accusing her again?
Suzanne was familiar with Sally’s tricks. But the latter was going to more extreme lengths each time!
Sally held her bleeding forehead and trembled behind the soldiers. She cried out pitifully, “Quick, call the cops! Suzanne is trying to kill me.”
At this point, more onlookers gathered around them.
Everyone knew who Suzanne was and didn’t dare to scold her or call the cops on her.
On the highway, Lucas, who was in the passenger seat, ended the call with a grave expression.
He turned to Nathan in the back seat urgently. “Bad news, General Morrison. Mrs. Morrison is in trouble.”
Nathan closed the documents in his hand. “What happened?”
“Mrs. Morrisoninjured Ms. Hoffis, and now Ms. Hoffis wants to call the cops on her,” said Lucas.
Nathan clenched his fist and his face fell. “Turn back.”
Lucas glanced at the time. “But…”
“Now.” Nathan’s anger surged.
“Yes, sir.” No one dared to defy Nathan’s order.
The journey that should have taken half an hour only took 15 minutes before they returned to base.
A crowd had gathered outside the dorms.
Two groups of people were facing off with their guns drawn.
Soldiers in black military uniforms guarded Suzanne closely while police officers in brown uniforms prepared to make an arrest.
Officer Morgan Chadwell hissed, “Know your place! Your job is to defend the country. A case of assault is under our jurisdiction.”
The soldiers retorted sternly, “Without General Morrison’s orders, no one is allowed to take Mrs. Morrison from us.”
Suzanne stomped her foot in frustration and pointed at the soldiers angrily. “Are you all blind? I’m the one whom General Morrison loves. We grew up together and are closer than family. Now that Suzanne is trying to kill me, you should be protecting me instead!”
The soldiers paid her no heed. “General Morrison ordered us to
protect Mrs. Morrison in his absence. We cannot let anyone harm her.
Suzanne felt safe behind the barricade of soldiers and was deeply moved by their words.
Morgan glanced at Sally’s injury and the loyal soldiers. Annoyance suddenly washed over him.
He ordered, “Anyone who dares to resist will be arrested and charged.”

“Take Mrs. Morrison away.” The soldiers formed a shield around Suzanne and slowly backed up.
Morgan growled, “Don’t even think about leaving.”
The soldiers warned, “General Morrison would have your head if your dare lay a finger on Mrs. Morrison.”
Morgan huffed disdainfully and puffed out his chest. “I’ve long found Morrison annoying. This is under my jurisdiction. I will punish those who break the law. No one can stop me from taking away that
criminal.”
Tensions rose. Suddenly, a domineering voice rang out, “Who dares to touch my woman?”
