Chapter 598

However, the person in front of him now was Karl.

As far as he knew, with Karl's powerful political background, nobody

could help him this time.

More importantly, the person Shelly wanted to hurt was Joyce.

This was something that made him most uncomfortable with.

Just when he thought that Joyce may have been hurt at that time.

His heart seemed to be pressed with a boulder, and he felt

depressingly breathless.

And, for some reason, his heart inexplicably ached at the thought of

Joyce's near miscarriage.

Why did he feel so heartbroken when it was clearly not his child?

He could not understand.

"Come here."

He reached out, trying to pull Joyce to himself. Perhaps out of guilt,

perhaps out of a desire to protect her.

Joyce froze and subconsciously avoided it, hiding directly behind Karl.

This scene deeply stung Luther's eyes.

This damn women wanted the protection of another man.

He was so angry, and his anger had reached his extreme. Blue veins

popped up on his tightly clenched fists.

Any onlooker could tell that he was on the verge of an outburst.

Juanita was usually the best at rounding up, but now, even she had no

idea how she could deal with the situation.

She looked at Joyce with concern.

“You may go back first. We will stay in touch," Karl told other witnesses.

“Maybe we will even call you. Please cooperate with us when that

happens.”

"Okay. Officer.”

The witnesses answered at the same time, and they left one after

another.

When all the others had left, Karl said, "We have already had a basic

idea about the situation. Let's not stand in the hall. Let's go to the

negotiation room."

After saying that, he took the crowd to the negotiation room on the

second floor of the police station.

Shelly's face looked pale. Sitting in the corner, at the moment she was

in a state of confusion.

“Intentional injury. Although it was just attempted, Miss Warner is not

less dangerous. At least fifteen days of detention is required. She will

not have to go to the detention center for such a short-term detention.

She will just stay in the temporary detention cell in the police station."

Karl said to Luther. Actually, Karl had been quite easy on Shelly this

time.

It was mainly because Shelly did not get her way and there was no

other supporting evidence to prove that Shelly indeed wanted to cause

Joyce to miscarry.

"Can't I bail her out?" Luther frowned.

"Only if Joyce agrees to settle.”

Karl turned his head to look at Joyce.

"Joyce, you're willing to settle with them?" Karl asked.

At this point, there were already tears in Shelly's eyes. Of course, she

did not want to be detained. Fifteen days was just too long. How could

she stand it to be kept in their shabby detention cell with no freedom at

all?

However, it was up to Joyce now.

How could she give up all her pride to beg Joyce?

She weakly turned her eyes to Luther for help, expecting her brother to

overpower Joyce and not hold her responsible.

Joyce reached out and touched her belly. Although she could not feel

fetal movement yet, she could really feel the presence of the baby from

the slight bulge of her belly.

How could she, as a mother, agree to a settlement when someone was

trying to harm her child today? She must make Shelly pay the price.

At this moment, she did not answer, but only looked steadily at Luther.

Because she was curious whether Luther would ask her to settle.

Would he force her? Would he just write her another check?
