Outside the police station.
Lucas and Sunny sat in a car while Xante and Aaron were in another. They were all waiting for Corinne to come out.
Inside the Riveras’ car, Sunny looked at the time on his sports watch and became a little anxious. “It’s been an hour. Shouldn’t
they be done recording the statements by now? Why hasn’t Corinne come out yet? I’ll go in and check on them!” He reached out
to open the car door.
Lucas stopped him. “Sit back down! Keep calm, and don’t go around causing any trouble. Jeremy is inside, and he won’t let
anything happen to Corinne.”
Sunny did not dare to disobey Lucas and immediately closed the car door. He sat back angrily and asked confusedly, “When did
you start trusting Jeremy so much? Didn’t you use to hate him last time?”
Lucas shot him an angry glance.
Sunny immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
In the other car, Xante and Aaron sat in the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat respectively.
Aaron asked somewhat playfully, “Do you think our boss will reconcile with that guy again?”
Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed spectacles and said, “It’s her choice, and we must respect it.”
Aaron rested his forehead lazily and sighed. “I get it now. She’s never been able to get over him. She cares so much about him
that she can’t accept the things he hid from her. If something happened to him, she would’ve strangled the murderer herself and
avenged him.”
Xante narrowed her eyes slightly and agreed tacitly with his observation. Though they had been with Corinne for so many years,
they had never seen her lose control over someone else before and be so ruthless to the leader of those criminals.
“You should worry about your problems for now.” Xante gestured in a direction outside the car window.
Aaron looked over and saw a taxi driving up to the police station entrance. Annie got out of the car first, followed by Marcus. The
two of them then walked together to the door of the police station.
Aaron immediately got out of the car. He walked over slowly and stopped in front of them.
Annie and Marcus were surprised to see Aaron there.
Marcus snapped back to his senses and greeted his boss respectfully. “Mister Aaron.”
Annie frowned anxiously. “You’re here too? Have you seen Uncle Jeremy? I heard that he’s fine, so I rushed over right away.”
Aaron nodded and said to Annie in a warm voice, “Don’t worry. He’s fine. His grandparents are here too. But don’t go in just yet
though. Wait for them to come out.”
Annie grabbed Aaron’s arm excitedly. “Are you sure you saw my uncle? Is he okay? Was he injured or disfigured by the bomb?”
Aaron comforted her. “I saw him. He’s in one piece, and he’s still giving his statement to the police. The same goes for Corinne.
You’ll see them once they’re done.”
“That’s... That’s good.” Annie’s tense body relaxed. “I’m glad that they’re both fine.”
