With a protective stance, Quinn positioned herself in front of the group, her arms outstretched. Fear was evident
in her trembling shoulders, yet she stood her ground, shielding Abigail.
The crowd interpreted her actions as a sign of complicity, which only served to fuel their anger. The grieving
family, their rage heightened, sought to push Quinn aside.
However, Quinn was quicker. In a state of panic, she pushed one of the men away. She used all her strength,
causing him to stumble backward into the arms of those behind him."Believe you can get away with murder, do
you?" A man's hand swung towards Quinn.
Instinctively, she raised her arm to block the blow, but Abigail was faster. She seized the man's wrist and slapped
his face with a force reminiscent of a whip's crack. The impact left him as stunned as Getty had been in the past.
However, this action of Abigail's stirred the hornet's nest even further."Believe you're above the law, do you?
Let's bury these two as retribution for our family!" The crowd's roar echoed as they charged forward.
Without hesitation, Quinn wrapped her arms around Abigail, using her body as a shield. After all they had been
through, she couldn't bear the thought of Abigail getting hurt again. It was her only clear thought amidst the
chaos. Abigail's face, previously numb, now displayed a mix of anger and touched gratitude. She quickly pulled
Quinn behind her and retrieved a collapsible baton from the motorcycle's saddlebag. As the baton extended with
a menacing swoosh, a cold gust swept through the crowd."So, you seeas a murderer? Well, one murder is as
good as a hundred. If you're so eager to join your family, step right up," Abigail sneered.Abigail, who had been
worshipped all her life, possessed a straightforward character and never shied away from a fight.

her due to their numbers, but deep down, they lacked the courage to kill. However, they were convinced that
Abigail, the rebel heiress, wouldn't hesitate to draw blood.
The mob's would-be leader faltered, bluffing, "You've got no respect for the law! The police station is right across
the street. You think you can just get away with murder?"""We'll see if | can. Why don't you test me?" Abigail
retorted defiantly.

But who would dare take that risk? The crowd was at a standoff, none bold enough to step forward yet unwilling
to retreat. The stalemate was broken by the sound of police sirens. After all, causing a ruckus right in front of a
police station was bound to draw attention."What's going on here?" a commanding voice barked, scattering the
crowd.
An officer spotted the weapon in Abigail's grip. Quinn subtly slid closer, hoping to somehow conceal the baton. In
the end, they were all hauled into the police station.
The agitators demanded justice, even though the perpetrators behind the devastated vehicles had already been
apprehended, and the Vanderbilt family had paid the damages to settle the matter.But spurred on by the online
uproar, they were looking to cash in even more. Fortunately, Abigail had managed to restrain herself, but they
still needed someone to bail them out.
