My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 175

Gerald’s eyes were gloomy as he listened to Charles and scrutinized the stalker.

“I can’t change what has happened or the psychological damage it has caused Kimberly. No

technology can let me reverse time and change what has happened. Now, I’m more worried about

whether the stalker’s motive is truly what it seems or if someone is behind all this. If someone

instigated the stalker, then this is more complicated, which means Kimberly is in danger, he thought. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Charles was carnest as he said flatteringly, “Mr. Patterson, we will deal with him. impartially and ensure

he is punished severely.”

Gerald gave the stalker another meaningful look.

This man looked sanctimonious and wretched. He truly had the looks of a criminal.

The stalker’s eyes were darting erratically and happened to meet Gerald’s.

Suddenly, the stalker shrank back and felt a chill run down his spine.

The man’s gaze is so murderous. Plus, looking at the police chief showing so much respect to him, he

must be a powerful person. This man is surely from an influential background. Is he a high-ranking

official or a mobster?’ wondered the stalker guiltily.

At this time, he blamed himself thoroughly and resented the woman wearing a mask who had looked

for him.

He had thought it was a simple job but he didn’t expect that he would provoke the CEO of Larson

Corporation.

I only have myself to blame for not checking things out properly. If I had known that my target was the

CEO of Larson Corporation, I wouldn’t have done it if she had offered me 600 thousand dollars. What’s

more, that woman just gave me a 60,000- dollar cheque. As long as I’m in the police station, the

powerful-looking man can’t do anything to me. But the moment I leave, I’m dead meat if he gets his

hands on me,” fumed the stalker inwardly. The more he thought about this, the more frightened he

became.

At this time, he wanted to save himself.

Gerald looked worriedly at Kimberly, who was sitting on the sofa. She was in shock, and her eyes were

still filled with panic.

After staying at the police station for almost an hour, they still couldn’t get anything out of the stalker’s

mouth.

Plus, Charles also promised that the stalker would be punished severely.

Gerald stood up, approached Kimberly, and said softly, “Let’s go! I’ll drive you home.”

Kimberly’s eyes were dull and empty. She just nodded.

The stalker’s hands were handcuffed, and two police officers were urging him to the detention room

when he suddenly turned around and shouted, “Wait a minute. I have something else to tell you.”

Gerald and Kimberly were side by side and were about to walk out of the police station. when they

heard the stalker’s shout. They stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Gerald turned around.

The stalker watched as Gerald stopped in his tracks, thinking he still had a chance.

So, he exerted all his strength to break free from the two police officers and quickly ran toward Gerald.

The two police officers were caught unaware by the stalker’s abrupt struggle and thought he was trying

to escape.

They ran after him and pulled out the pistol holstered to their waists.

Finally, the stalker stopped in front of Gerald and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Charles saw this, he motioned for the two police officers not to act rashly and asked them to wait

at the side until they knew what was going on.

The stalker said audaciously, “I want to talk with you.

alone.”

‘Naturally, I have to fight for my freedom, thought the stalker as he pointed at Gerald.

Gerald raised his eyes and sneered, “Are you trying to negotiate with me?”

The stalker was in a dilemma, yet he had no choice but to pretend that he had this in the bag.

He deliberately straightened his back and said aloud, “Yes.”

Charles was worried that Gerald would be annoyed by the stalker’s audacity.

He hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at the stalker, and scolded him, “You sc um. You are so

shameless. Do you think you can still negotiate now?”

The stalker didn’t back down and ignored Charles’ complaints.

He stared at Gerald blankly.

When Gerald saw him looking so confident, he had already figured out some things.

Gerald quickly signaled with his hands at Charles just as Charles was about to say something.

“Okay, I’ll give you a chance,” said Gerald.

If his information is valuable, I’m willing to give him a chance for redemption, he mused.

After a while, the police officers led them into a relatively private room.

The stalker glanced at the police officers who were standing beside him. Gerald understood and

motioned for them to leave..

They were a little worried about Gerald.

They know that one should never underestimate the bottom line of criminals.

Gerald was calm and collected as he said, “Wait at the door. I will be fine here.”

Gerald was a trained fighter. They could judge from his figure that he wasn’t to be underestimated.

Besides, the stalker was in handcuffs.

Gerald sat on the couch with his legs crossed, a cigarette in his left hand and a lighter in his right.

He said coldly, “Tell me!”

The stalker paused and said fearlessly, “I hope you can promise me a favor.”

The stalker was quite cu nning.

Gerald sneered, “And what is that?”

“I hope you can set me free,” said the stalker.

Gerald said unceremoniously, “In a law-based society if you break the law, you will be punished

accordingly.”

The stalker was not to be outdone as he said, “I know you have your ways.”

Gerald didn’t want to beat around the bush with him, so he said, “It depends on your determination for

redemption.”

The stalker knew he was playing with fire and had no advantage over Gerald, so he had

to give it a try.

The stalker confessed to following and wanting to harm Kimberly, but according to him, it was not his

own intention.

Besides, he didn’t know it was Kimberly.

If he knew it was her, he wouldn’t have dared to do so.

However, he didn’t know who the woman who hired him was.

He just told everything he knew,

Gerald’s face darkened as he heard it.

As expected, things were not as simple as that.

Gerald was worried the stalker would hold back, so he deliberately acted indifferently and made it seem

like the information was not valuable.

“If you can’t even tell who that woman is, it’s of no value to me,” said Gerald.

The stalker was at a loss for words. He took the initiative and proposed that he was willing to be used

as bait to lure the woman out.

This garnered Gerald’s interest, and he thought, “This is a good idea. Only by finding out who is behind

this can Kimberly’s safety be secured. Otherwise, it’s like a ticking time bomb. It might be a stalker

today and a kidnapper tomorrow!

Gerald immediately agreed to the stalker’s proposal and promised, “If we can lure the person out, I will

try my best to get you your freedom.”

Charles and the others were still waiting outside the door. The room was soundproof, and they didn’t

hear anything.

In Charles’ office, Gerald told him about the stalker’s proposal.

After listening to him, Charles also agreed with this plan to lure the woman out.

At the same time, he also indicated that if the stalker could help catch the person who was behind this,

he would consider reducing the stalker’s sentence.
