NovelEnglishAmidst his panic, Charles, though supported, slumped like a ragdoll.
James glared fiercely at Ralph. Just when he was about to speak, Christopher timely intervened, "Charles, you should go with Captain Thompson. If you're innocent, you'll just be cooperating with the investigation. Don't panic. It'll be over soon. We'll cto pick you up afterward." Charles glared at Christopher, his eyes darkening with rage.
This damn bastard... Once again, Christopher seized the perfect opportunity to stomp on someone when they were down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, Christopher whispered persuasively to Lance, "Dad, Ralph is making a valid point. If Charles doesn't cooperate with the police, it'll appear as though he's hiding something, and Ralph might resort to tougher measures. It'll only complicate matters further." Convinced, Lance quickly changed his mind. "Charles, just go with them!" "Dad!" Charles' expression turned into one of sheer despair.
With a wave of his hand, Lance, full of resentment and frustration, found himself at a loss for words.
In the end, Lance and James could only watch powerlessly as the police led Charles away.
As Ralph was leaving, he shot a frosty glance at Christopher.
That piercing stare, almost accusatory, struck Christopher, deeply wounding his proud self-esteem. It brought him a wave of discomfort.
"Ralph! Hold on!" James stepped forward, his face flushed with strain.
His emotions had shifted from trying to free Charles to an intense desire to beat Ralph.
Ralph paused, his face devoid of expression, as he faced him.

Ralph narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, and his delicate lips parted to mouth the words, So what? Although unsaid, the gesture infuriated the Iversons so much that they felt a surge of violent anger.
After Ralph left, Lance, overwhelmed, sat down on the couch with his sons' help, slowly regaining composure after drinking shot tea.
"James! Christopher! What do we do now?!" "Don't panic, Dad."James' gaze was as sharp as a scorpion's sting. "Even if Ralph has taken Charles, he won't be able to prove anything. The incident with that Thompson girl happened so long ago. Any evidence would've disappeared long ago. Without evidence, Ralph will ultimately have to release him. I'll send Attorney Lang there right away!" "What you're saying is complete nonsense. They don't have concrete proof for the alleged attempted rape case anyway. What's there to be afraid of?" Christopher scoffed, subtly provoking James' competitive spirit. "Actually, it's those two girls you messed with who are the real ticking bombs. If any of them decides to blow the whistle now, you'll never be able to walk out from behind bars." "Heh, stop worrying about things that wouldn't happen. Those two girls will never cforward!" If any of them did, he would make sure no one lived to see the next day.
