The little boy too displayed signs of alarm, his complexion paling and his breath
quickening.
“What if we choose not to apologize?”
“In that case, you’ll need to accompany us to the police station. We have plenty of
detention rooms there.”
The little boy’s anxiety was palpable, with perspiration forming on his forehead.
Observing their exchange, Sabrina could deduce that the woman possessed some
influential connections. It appeared she had just placed a call to someone in order to seek
assistance from the police.
Much to her surprise, her call had yielded no tangible results.

Contemplating this turn of events, Sabrina heaved a silent sigh.
She had hoped to distance herself from Tyrone, but it appeared that doing so was more
challenging than she had initially thought.
Their connection ran deep. She was Tyrone’s ex-wife and, peculiarly, his adopted sister.
It was Tyrone’s influence that granted her a certain level of leverage in such situations.
Had she been an ordinary woman, and Jennie her biological daughter, she might have

remarked, “Young man, it was an unintended accident. She’s injured. Extend an apology,

Sabrina retorted, “I’m referring to you. Your behavior is a testament to your lack of

The officers surmised that the woman’s stubborn facade would eventually crumble during
her stay at the police station.
“How dare you lay a hand on us!” the woman exclaimed, remaining seated.
With an air of resolve, the junior officer approached and lifted the woman to her feet.
Suddenly, the boy beside her collapsed to the ground, his face swollen and struggling for
breath as he clutched his chest.
