“Okay,” Charlotte replied.
Outside, the battered figures sprawled on the ground were being loaded into police cars. Once they arrived at the station, the recording of statements and interrogations stretched on for hours.
As the victim, Charlotte was approached by an officer who asked if she wanted to settle things amicably.
Her expression had eased by then, and she firmly replied, “I don’t want to settle amicably.”
“Then we’ll proceed according to the law,” the officer said.

Arthur, having acted heroically, faced no repercussions.
By the time they left the police station, the night was deep.

“I haven’t had dinner yet,” he said.
“What do you want to cat? It’s on me,” Charlotte offered.
“That’s not very sincere,” he replied, disappointment creeping into his voice.
“Alright, I’ll cook for you,” she said, suddenly understanding his hint as she turned toward the car.

Diana asked: [Are you hurt?]
Charlotte replied: [I’m fine. I suspect Sophia is behind this. Can you find any evidence?]
Diana said: [I’ll see what I can do.]
Charlotte said: [Thanks, you’re the best!]
Diana responded: [Your safety is what matters most.]
A warmth spread through Charlotte’s chest, but she soon felt a chilling gaze on her.
She paused, lifting her eyes to meet Arthur’s reflection in the rearview mirror.
