Chapter 131 Call the Police

After a long silence, Joseph said, “Ashton, let her go. She has been living a good life for the past three

years. Haven’t you hurt her enough? Why do you have to push her to this point?”

His tone was even a little humble, which Deborah had never heard before in her memory.

How was it possible for Joseph to speak in such a humble tone?

Deborah was surprised. How could it be possible for Joseph to beg an unfamiliar man to let her go and

acquiesce to what this man had ald?

Deborah couldn’t hide the fear and panic in her eyes. She grabbed Joseph’s arm and said softly, “Let’s

go. Don’t stay in the hospital anymore. Let’s go home.”

Deborah didn’t want to stay here at all, nor did she want to listen to these inexplicable words that had

nothing to do

with her.

In the past, Joseph would try his best to fulfill any of Deborah’s requests.

Sometimes when Deborah was sick and didn’t want to stay in the hospital, Joseph would take Deborah

back home and have a family doctor come to check on her.

In the past few years, Deborah had been picky and willful, and Joseph had always been obedient to

her.

But this time, Joseph didn’t take Deborah away according to her instructions.

Joseph simply held Deborah’s hand and said, “It’s okay.”

But Joseph didn’t seem to have confidence in his own words,

Seeing the situation, Dr. Garza called the other doctors out.

In the spacious ward, only Ashton, Deborah, and Joseph were left.

Joseph wanted to let Deborah leave as well, but Ashton didn’t allow it.

Deborah had been hidden by Joseph for three years, while Ashton had been completely deceived

during that time. This time, he would never let Deborah leave his sight again.

If she left again, she might disappear for another three years, five years, or even longer.

Deborah was anxious to prove something and reached out to touch the diamond ring on Joseph’s ring

finger. “We have wedding rings. We’re going to get married soon.”

Only then did Ashton notice that Joseph was wearing a ring.

Joseph’s diamond ring was exactly the same as his.

The rings on Deborah and Ashton’s fingers were a pair, which Deborah had managed to buy with her

own savings and

loans.

There was no doubt that Joseph had deliberately bought the extra one to deceive Deborah.

Ashton glared at Joseph with anger. “You are despicable! My patience is limited. If you keep interfering

with Deborah, I’ll call the police!”

Joseph had lost the protection of the Black family, but even if he had a lot of power now, or even if he

could dominate the business world, it was impossible for him to escape punishment for stealing

someone else’s wife, and it was impossible for him to sentence someone else’s wife to him.

Deborah finally noticed the dlatnond ring on Ashton’s finger.

It was exactly the same as the one in Joseph’s hand.

Deborah couldn’t utter a single word. That enormous feeling of helplessness and feat was like a tide

that was about to

devour her.

Deborah had never considered what would happen if Joseph had deceived her and she had to leave

Joseph. How could

she continue to live?

For three years, Deborah had slowly gotten to where she was today, becoming the most renowned

designer.

All Deborah wanted was to hold up her trophy and share her achievements and joy with Joseph.

Deborah wanted to be excellent enough to stand beside Joseph with confidence.

But she was wrong. It seemed that, in an instant, everything was wrong.

Joseph held Deborah’s hand, and his knuckles slowly turned pale.

He said in a humble voice, “Let her go, Ashton. Give her a way out. I beg you.”

That day, Deborah really wanted to die. If it weren’t for Joseph showing up at the last moment, stopping

Deborah

when she was already in the middle of the street, she would have died.

Ashton’s temples were throbbing, and the strange and disdainful look from Deborah, along with her

obvious trust and dependence on Joseph, ignited him, causing his rationality to quickly disappear.

For three years, Joseph had made Deborah forget him completely and had lived with Deborah day and

night like a married couple.

During these three years, they stayed in the same house, so how many intimate moments did they

share?

Had Joseph even taken Deborah to get a uterus transplant? Was it possible that they even had a child

together?

Ashton had to admit that he was jealous. Just thinking about it was enough to drive him crazy.

Three years was almost as long as the time he had spent with Deborah after getting married.

He, Joseph, had no right to do so. What right did he have?

Finally, Ashton couldn’t control himself anymore. He shouted, “Jeff, call the police! Let’s see if the

police in Oceanview City know how to do their job!”

Jeff was waiting outside the door and immediately took out his phone to call the Oceanview City police

station upon hearing Ashton’s words.

Joseph remained calm. There was nothing else he could do but listen to Ashton..

However, he would never voluntarily give up Deborah.

Dr. Garza lost his cool, pushing open the door and shouting at Ashton, “Ashton, have some

conscience!

“Joseph has taken care of Deborah very well these past three years. Ask anyone who has been by

Deborah’s side, and they’ll tell you how happy she was!

“Take a moment to think back to the days when she was with you, Ashton. Those were the days when

she was treated

worse than an animal.”

Ashton couldn’t find any words to argue. All he could say was, “Deborah is my wife, and Joseph took

her away and

deceived her. That’s illegal.”

Dr. Garza sneered, “Yes, Joseph went too far and has done something illegal. But Ashton, if it weren’t

for him and what he has done, your wife would have died three years ago.”

Ashton looked away and said disdainfully, “I don’t want to waste my time arguing with you. You’re

twisting the

truth.”

Ashton called in several bodyguards. He was a little impatient waiting for the police to come and

wanted to take Deborah away directly.

Deborah was terrified and held onto Joseph tightly. After thinking about it, Ashton drove the

bodyguards out again.

The police arrived quickly, and within half an hour, a few police officers came over.

Ashton had carried around their marriage certificate with him wherever he went for all these years.

gowns, and there were many past records that could be used as evidence.

The policeman checked these things carefully and asked some more questions.

There was no way to cover up this matter any longer.

For three years, Joseph had not even changed Deborah’s name, and Deborah still looked like the

same person she was three years ago.

Now, with this investigation, the truth was as clear as day.

The police asked Ashton, “Mr. Mullen, how do you want to handle this matter?”

Ashton replied coldly, “I demand a thorough investigation into why my wife lost her memory and what

has happened between her and Joseph these past three years.

“But for now, I want to take my wife home. She’s still recovering, and her mental state is not yet fully

clear.”

The police officers looked at each other and nodded, saying, “This request is reasonable. Mr. Black,

please cooperate and let Mrs. Mullen leave with Mr. Mullen.

“As for you, Mr. Black, if Mr. Mullen accuses you now, you need to come with us.
