Chapter 202
Victor propped his chin and asked, “So Yosef showed up here because of that Bud guy?
“No way. Whatever Bud’s deal is, what’s that got to do with Yosef? Why does he have to butt in?”
“Victor, let’s not talk about him anymore,” Skylar said, not wanting to waste time on pointless things.
What mattered most to her now was getting to the bottom of the whole Bud situation.
Skylar was about to take Adam and head back to the Lambert family with Victor, determined to confront Freya face–to–face and get to the bottom of things.
As they stepped out of the company, two uniformed police officers walked straight toward them.
It was obvious they were here for Skylar.
Police asked, “Are you Miss Skylar Lambert?”
Skylar replied, “Yes, I am.”
“We’ve received a report alleging that you committed romantic fraud for financial gain. You’ll need to come with us for questioning.”
As soon as Skylar heard what the police said, she immediately thought of Bud and frowned.
She wondered, ‘Bud actually reported this to the police?
‘If he had something shady going on,
the police would’ve found out. The fact that he dared to call the cops proves he wasn’t in cahoots with Freya.
‘So, did Freya stage this whole thing herself?
‘What’s her angle?‘
Skylar looked at the officers calmly and said, “Officers, I’ll go with you, but I need a moment to inform my family first.”
The two officers exchanged glances and granted her request.
Skylar turned to Victor and whispered, “Don’t tell anyone about this, not even our family. Wait until I get back,”
Victor made a zipping motion across his lips. “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed.”
Adam pinched his pouty lips flat like a duck’s bill. “Mommy, I won’t tell either.”
Skylar gently patted Adam’s head, then followed the officers into the car, heading to the station.
The moment Skylar stepped into the interrogation room, she saw Bud sobbing his heart out to the officers.
Bud sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face as he wailed, “Officers, you have no idea how badly I’ve been sca
“I spent all my money buying her gifts, and in the end, she won’t even acknowledge me.
“I’m a graduate student from a top university, am I really that pathetic, that embarrassing to be seen with?”
Skylar acted as if she hadn’t heard his accusations. Calmly, she pulled out the chair beside him and sat down.
Bud turned sharply, his face contorted with anger. “Skylar, you think pretending not to know me will let you get away with it? Not a chance!
“I’m warning you, give me a proper explanation today, or you’ll regret it.

the
cracks!”
She frowned slightly and said calmly, “Mr. Brada, there’s no need to get so worked up.”
Bud, stung by her retreat, snapped, “What’s that supposed to mean? Do you think I’m some kind of virus or something?”
Skylar shot back calmly, “You’re practically spitting in my face. I’m particular about hygiene, I can’t stand that.”
Bud’s face suddenly turned livid with rage. “You…”
The officer stepped in as the two were about to argue. “Alright, that’s enough. You’re here for questioning, not to fight. Both of you, settle down.”
Skylar folded her arms coolly, her expression indifferent.
Bud flushed crimson, rolling his eyes at her in frustration.
The police asked, “Mr. Folwer, you’re accusing Miss Lambert of scamming you out of your money. Do you have any evidence to back that up?”
Bud pulled out screenshots of their chat logs. “Here’s all the proof you need,” he said.
He slapped them on the table. “Take a look, officers.”
