The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 484

“If you keep restricting my freedom of movement, I’ll call the police. Are you not afraid of that?”

Darren snorted. “Go ahead and call them. We’re not working for the next few days anyway, so we can hang out anywhere. The police station has beds and free food. Sounds pretty good to me.”

Penelope was speechless. It was a classic case of someone with nothing to lose having nothing to fear.

She held up her phone. “I’m not leaving. I just need to make a call.”

“Fine, make your call. I’ll be watching you.”

Not in the mood to argue, Penelope sat down on a bench and called Hannah.

Hannah explained that while they had argued, it was an exaggeration to say they had fought. Buck had blocked her path as she tried to leave, and she had pushed him. He did stumble over something and fall into a sitting position, but he got up immediately and seemed completely fine.

But Buck was undeniably injured, and seriously enough to require surgery. An injury like that, even with a successful operation, could have long-term complications and a difficult recovery. The future problems were endless.

Still, Penelope found it hard to believe. Could a single push that caused him to sit down hard really result in such a severe injury?

It seemed a little far-fetched.

“Ms. James, you said the person who attacked you last night looked a lot like Buck, right?”

“Yes.”

“How sure are you?”

“About sixty percent.”

“Then let’s start there. If we can prove he was the one who attacked you last night, then his injury is no longer your responsibility.”

Not only would Hannah be off the hook, but he would also have to face legal consequences.

“Okay, I’ll communicate that to the police.”

After hanging up, Penelope noticed Darren had moved to the far end of the hallway and was on the phone with someone, speaking in hushed, secretive tones.

Her mind started turning, and she stood up and began walking toward him.
