Ava Woods was initially scared, but upon hearing there was someone coming to rescue them, she returned to her usual unfiltered, lively self.
Especially now, it was rare to see Sophia Fraser blushing, so she intentionally bumped into Sophia, "Could you help me get a chance to say a word to him later?"
"Why do you want to talk to him?" Sophia’s face immediately darkened.
Ava’s teasing smile became awkwardly frozen due to Sophia’s retort, "I... I just really admire him. It’s my first time seeing him in person."
The latter part of her sentence clearly lacked confidence.
"He’s not for you. People like me and him, you’ll never get to mingle with."
Next to them, Zoe Graham walked over and helped Chloe Grant up, and the two then simply sat down on the table.
Chloe leaned her body against Zoe.
The fear of nearly having her wrist shattered with a club still lingered in her heart, refusing to dissipate.
"It’s alright, it’s alright, everything’s fine." Zoe comforted her.
"However, since we’re friends, with me covering for you, when we see Grandpa Morgan later, we’ll naturally arrange for you to have a chat with him," said Sophia with assurance.
Ava, who had been hanging her head low, suddenly looked up with delight in her eyes, "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Sophia retorted.
Ava laughed, "Sophia, why are you so nice?"
"Alright, enough with the flattery. We don’t even know what it’s like outside now..."
Outside was very... terrifying!
Matthew Morgan had walked into the police station alone, sitting on a very basic plastic bench, his hands in his pant pockets, one leg crossed over the other.
His actions were casual, yet everyone around was so tense that they didn’t dare take a deep breath.
Especially the lady, who originally came on behalf of Sienna Woods’ godfather to handle Chloe and the others. She was now so scared that cold sweat was dripping from her forehead.
Matthew Morgan didn’t need to say anything; just sitting there and mentioning a name was already a form of torture for those present.
"Grandpa Morgan, this, this is like a flood rushing into the Dragon King’s temple, family members not recognizing each other..." The lady, seeing the atmosphere becoming more oppressive, could only brace herself and try to smile through the anxiety, "This is a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding."
She was trembling in the legs while speaking beside Matthew.
And it was after she had spoken for quite a while that Matthew begrudgingly turned his head, giving her a glance, "I’m your family member?"
"No, no, no, how could I dare consider myself family to Grandpa Morgan?" the lady hurriedly shook her head.
That look... too intimidating!
The nickname of the capital’s King Yama is truly well-deserved!
"If that’s the case, where does the misunderstanding come from?" Matthew retorted.
The lady forced a smile, with cold sweat continuously pouring from her forehead like water, "This... this..."
"Grandpa Morgan, we sincerely apologize. We were blind and didn’t realize these young women were associated with you, and offended them."
At this moment, the chief stepped forward and said.
He was involved in this too. The longer Matthew Morgan stayed sitting there, the worse it would end for them!
"Apologizing to me?" Matthew retorted, "Chief Lin, I think you’re apologizing to the wrong person."
"I’ll go apologize to the involved parties right away!"
Chief Lin was a smart man, naturally understanding Matthew’s implication.
He turned back and gave a side glance to the junior officer, "Go on and bring those people out, apologize to them properly!"
The junior officer, upon hearing this, hurriedly walked to the small dark room where Chloe and the others were held...
