Chapter 389

Meanwhile, the local police station was overflowing with young boys and girls, even though it was

usually calm and quiet at this hour.

The boys were behaving as arrogantly as ever, as if they feared nothing and no one. The girls,

however, looked completely different from half an hour ago. Now, they were sitting quietly in the cell

with their heads lowered.

One of the policemen was interrogating Jared, whose face was black and blue.

“Why did you start the fight?”

Jared raised his chin and pointed at another boy. With innocent eyes, he said, “Sir, you should ask him.

I don’t know why they hit me. I’m confused too.”

The policeman knew how unruly these rich second generation kids could be. He banged the table and

said in a serious tone, “If you refuse to answer, you’ll have to celebrate New Year behind bars.”

New Year was just half a month away.

While Jared was being questioned, Debbie was sound asleep with her head resting on Kasie’s

shoulder. No matter who spoke to her, she kept her eyes closed. Finally, when one of the policemen

pressed her too hard, she yelled, “Why didn’t you bring that woman here as well? She’s the one who

started the fight!” The woman she was referring to was none other than Portia. Portia had made a

phone call to Hayden as soon as the policemen arrived at the private booth. As a result, she hadn’t

been taken to the police station.

Debbie wanted to leave too, but she didn’t dare to call Carlos.

Besides, she was still mad at him. There was no way she would call him for help.

Anyway, she wasn’t worried about herself because she believed that

Jared would help her out.

Debbie’s stubbornness gave the policeman a headache. He shifted his attention to Kasie instead.

Unfortunately for him, Kasie wasn’t a well-behaved girl either and had been brought to the police

station before. Like Debbie, she kept insisting that she was innocent and that Portia was the one who

had started the fight.

The policeman knew these people were all from prominent families, so he didn’t want to waste his time

on them anymore.

“Just ask one of your family members to come here. You can leave after we get their signature.”

Upon hearing that, Debbie instantly sobered up. Her eyes were red because of sleepiness. She cast a

warning glance at Jared and firmly said, “Don’t call your brother.” If Damon found out about this, so

would Carlos.

Initially, Jared had been planning to call Damon. He was afraid that his father would beat him up if he

found out about this.

But now that Debbie was asking him not to call his brother, his mother was the only person he could

call.

Kasie took the telephone receiver away from Jared and said, “This is all my fault. I’ll call my dad.”

“Don’t. It’s no big deal.” Jared snatched it back.

While the two were arguing about who should make the call, a man walked into the station-it was

Emmett. As soon as Debbie saw him, she grabbed her two friends and used them to shield herself

from Emmett’s line of vision.

Kasie recognized Emmett immediately.

Jared, however, was too preoccupied with his own thoughts to notice

Emmett. Shaken out of his thoughts by Debbie’s sudden push, he asked in a loud voice, “Tomboy, what

are you doing?”
