Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 590

The officers only gave a vague reply.

“It’s hard to say right now. We have to wait until the statements and evidence are sorted.”

Rachel immediately had a bad feeling. “You mean, you can’t even say yet whether Howard will be

charged?”

One of the officers almost laughed.

“Miss, a conviction isn’t decided by what someone says. It depends on evidence and witnesses. There was no DNA from you or the suspect at the scene, and no eyewitnesses.”

Rachel’s mind jumped straight to Sheryn. “I do have a witness. Sheryn was kidnapped with me. We were locked in the same place. She can testify.”

The officers exchanged a confused look. “According to what we’ve heard, she said she never saw Howard assault you. Just that you argued and things got physical.”

Rachel’s expression changed instantly. “What did you just say?”

The other officer nodded. “We’ve already interviewed her. That’s exactly what she told us.‘

Rachel’s voice went sharp with disbelief. “No way! She was a victim, too! Howard’s friends almost

assaulted her!”

But the officers weren’t convinced. “Ms. Lloyd, we go by evidence. If you have an issue with her statement, you’ll need to speak with her directly.”

Rachel froze, stunned that at such a crucial moment, Sheryn would actually take Howard’s side.

Tyler, by contrast, remained calm. He told the officers, “Thanks for your time. If there’s anything else, we’ll cooperate. But I have one request–Howard needs the maximum sentence. We’ll get you any

evidence we find.”

The officers, knowing exactly who was involved in this case, took this seriously and nodded.

“Understood.”

Once they were gone, Rachel frowned in confusion. “Has your cousin completely lost it? Why would she help Howard, when those guys wanted to hurt her too?”

Rachel wasn’t shaken by Howard’s actions. She knew he was trash, and anyone with him was just as bad, but Sheryn’s betrayal stung.

Sheryn was also a victim, and instead of punishing her attacker, she was protecting him.
