Daily Life of a Transmigrating Villain

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - One line to ignite a spark.



PRESENT

"And, speaking of evidence, wasn't the knife used on Mr. Harrison found on Damien's wife?" Wanruo looked at the man she had pointed the gun at, recalling the evidence linking the weapon to the deadly attack on one of the esteemed wedding guests.

Wanruo was convinced that Damien, after rejecting a marriage proposal from the Harrison family, may have tried to harm the man who had suggested the alliance, due to Damien's connection with the woman from the Crimwell family.

This led her to believe that Damien was capable of going to extreme lengths, including murder, to sabotage the marriage.

"That—," Amelia began to say, but Damien interrupted her before she could continue.

"Though you are correct, Miss Tin, but..." Damien grinned as he looked towards one of the police cars. Inside, a woman sat with both hands handcuffed, her wrists resting on the window glass. She gazed at him with puppy eyes, hoping for some compassion. However, Damien decided to ignore her suffering and turned towards Wanruo adding,"There is a possibility that Emilia was simply jealous."

""Huh?"" Both Amelia standing beside him and Lin Wanruo, who had a gun pointed at him, were left speechless upon hearing those words.

'Me? Jealous?', Emilia, perhaps unable to hear Wanruo whose back was turned towards the car, managed to interpret Damien's words by reading his mouth movements.

"Miss Tin, you already know my grandfather wants me to marry Mr. Harrison's granddaughter." Damien remembering the event when he entered this body, the real Damien had just been demoted from his rightful position as heir, replaced by his sister, and had even had his engagement fixed with the Harrison family reminded Wanruo.

As he raised his gaze, he saw Lin Wanruo's nonchalant reaction to the news, indicating that she was indeed aware of the events that transpired the day Damien Raphael lost his status at the function. He continued speaking softly, his eyes showing defeat as he looked at the car and said, "It appears that Emilia, not wanting to lose me, stabbed Mr. Harrison."

'?!'

'Bullshit!', As Emilia slammed the glass, she felt her eyes tremble with fear as she watched Damien skillfully play his game, unknowingly forcing her further into her own trap, causing her to cry out from inside the car. "Inspector, he is lying. Please, he was the one who gave me that knife!"

"Miss, your voice cannot reach them." The police officer, seated in the driver's seat, informed the woman who had just cried out, while covering his ears in response to the loudness of her voice.

"What? Wait, please officer, open my handcuffs. I am innocent!" Emilia was caught off guard by the voice, snapping her out of her thoughts. She turned her eyes towards the man in the driver's seat and realized his height was less than 4 feet, causing her to overlook him initially. However, when he spoke, she quickly focused on him, prompting her to clarify.

"I'm sorry, Miss. The boss will decide who is innocent and who is not." The man, who appeared to be a child of around 13 or 14 in height, shook his head slightly as he leaned forward, resting his elbow on the steering wheel and laying his head down for a quick nap.

"Boss? Are you sent by my Uncle... no, he is dead, right? Then," Emilia was taken aback when the man referred to someone as boss, but soon understanding dawned on her. Her head swiftly turned towards the window, where her eyes trembled at the sight of Damien waving at her. 'No, is this all?'

It wasn't long before Emilia noticed that all the other police officers, aside from the woman holding a gun to Damien, appeared suspicious due to their lack of activity. Instead of being proactive, they were lazily wandering around and sneaking peeks at Damien as if they were waiting for instructions.

'How can that police woman be so dense?!' Emilia was left puzzled by the woman's unfathomable mind, which allowed her to bravely point a gun at Damien, yet somehow failed to realize that everyone else except her was hesitant to take any action.

"Are you kidding me?", Lin Wanruo felt her mouth twitching as she listened to an excuse from Damien as he blamed everything on his future wife, causing her to clench her jaw in frustration and quickly withdraw her gun.

Indeed, she doesn't have any proof against this man, and with so many officers present, she can't use her privilege to have someone like him in custody. 'Darn it!'

"You are lucky, Damien Raphael", Lin Wanruo calmed herself and placed her gun back in its place, then gestured for one of the officers to come near her.

"Keep an eye on the servants and allow the guests to leave. We will wait for Commissioner Sir to arrive." Lin Wanruo observed several bodyguards and media slowly arriving at the place, while several luxurious cars were leaving. It was clear to her that this would soon become breaking news. Wanruo thought to handle the situation as quickly as possible.

"I understand and what to do with other suspect" The police officer nodded but, taking a glance at Damien who stood calmly with a smile, he inquired about the next course of action regarding Emilia, who was arrested on charges of harming Mr. Harrison.

"Hmm," Lin Wanruo initially felt annoyed that she couldn't take any action against Damien, but when she saw a woman in a bridal dress looking towards them from a vehicle, she saw an opportunity. Wanruo turned her eyes towards Damien who appeared to be looking at her with that same annoying face, which caused her to smirk and say, "No, take her to the police station.

I will personally interrogate her."

'....now, it seems perfect', Wanruo felt her smile widening the moment she saw Damien's expression turn blank, prompting her desire to see despair on his face when she mistakenly kills his future bride while interrogating and then just simply apologizes for her mistake.

It would be fascinating to watch his face distort when he hears the news of her death...

"Hey, Lin Wanruo"

Suddenly, the firm voice of Damien interrupted her thoughts, making her widened smile come to a stop. It was the first time she had heard him pronounce her name correctly as he approached her with enraged eyes, causing her to freeze in place as he leaned in close to her ear.

Her body appeared to be immobilized, lacking the strength to be moved, while she gazed directly ahead as he approached her ears with a menacing tone, Damien issued a clear warning lashed with death threat,"If something were to happen to my wife, your death would seem like a blessing to you."
