It was my fault that you suffered injuries. | am fucking useless! Hitif you like. Hitas hard as possible!" Landon's men were taken aback by his behavior. No longer behaving like a devil, Landon was just a hopeless man in love. They marveled at Lauren, who had charmed Landon into his subservient ways.
"Landon, why would you speak to Cyrus in that way? Why?" Lauren, being autistic, had a tendency to fixate on things. Her stubbornness might be distressing for some.
She insisted, "Why would you say that about Cyrus? | would've died if not for him! He saved me. So, how could you be so mean to him?" Her endless whys and hows would have triggered anyone. However, Landon only hugged her tight and whispered tearfully into her ear, "Lauren, you must have been so scared and shocked. | was a loser for not protecting you..." "It's not Cyrus' fault. He saved me. Please don't say that about him ever. Alright?" Lauren refused to move on without receiving a firm response to the previous matter.

Landon dared not provoke the adamant Lauren any further. Swallowing the pain, he begged her in a hoarse voice, "Darling, promiseyou won't look at any other man. You should only have eyes for me.
"Lauren, I'm your one and only man." Cyrus hurried to the police station after leaving the hospital. He wrapped up the paperwork for the hostage case.
After that, he sent a subordinate to retrieve records of the police reports made by Denver and Joanna, the background information of the five campus bullies, and all records of the relevant witness statements.
There wasn't a lot of information available, but Cyrus felt ruffled for a long tafter reading through the contents.
At that time, he received a call from Alyssa. Calming down, he answered, "Lyse." "Cyrus, how are you doing? You're fine, right?" Alyssa questioned worriedly. "We saw the news about the hostage situation at Solana City Arts Academy. We saw that you were dispatched to the scene. Mandy saw it, too. You didn't pick up her calls, so she sent Jasper andto check on you because we were in town." The murderer was arrested at the scene. I'm doing just fine," Cyrus assured her.
"I don't believe you. Cout and show us," Alyssa stubbornly insisted. "We're at the entrance to the police station, and we want to see you walking out with our own eyes. How else are we going to answer to Mandy?" Cyrus immediately spotted the luxurious Rolls-Royce parked across the street from the police station. Feeling ashamed, he scanned the area to make sure that no one was watching before he sneaked into the car like a thief.
"Don't meetin such an expensive car," Cyrus couldn't help but grumble when he joined them in the car.

"Cyrus, I'm so glad you're okay!" Alyssa lifted Cyrus' arms and instructed Jasper to take photos of Cyrus from the front and the side. "Jasper, send them over to Mandy." "Sure." Jasper lowered his gaze and tapped into WhatsApp.
"Hey, hey, you guys are pretty kinky, aren't you?" Cyrus clicked his tongue. "Should | take off my pants for photos? You can send them to Mom, too." Alyssa stammered, "Um... If that's what you want, | can't possibly say no. I'll try to take a few photos." Jasper replied flatly, "I'm a man, so it doesn't bothertoo." Cyrus looked speechless at the comedic couple.
"Cyrus, we saw you carrying a girl from the building in the video. Was she the victim? How is she doing?" Alyssa, always kind and gentle, asked with concern.
Cyrus pursed his lips and sank into a short silence. He decided to be honest. "That's Lauren." Alyssa and Jasper looked shellstruck. "Who? Lauren? Our Lauren?" "es." "Ah—Oh, my God!" Alyssa covered her mouth in shock.
"Where's Lauren now? Is she okay?" Jasper's face turned white in the panic.
"Don't worry. Lauren is fine. She suffered from sscratches and is in shock." Cyrus checked the ton his wristwatch and tried to deliver the updates as calmly as possible. "Landon has probably taken her hby now." Still concerned, Jasper said, "Lyse and | will make a stop at Landon's place to visit Lauren." Cyrus blinked. At the thought of Lauren's words when she engaged with Denver Whitman, his face clouded.
"Lyse, Jasper, there's something | can't interfere in. Can you help?"
