Chapter 304 Never had Cecilia felt so on edge.

Realizing the urgency, Hailey exclaimed, “Yes! Allie! Quickly, fetch the driver. We need to get to the police station now!”

“Yes, Mrs. Brooks Senior!” Allie hurried off to fetch someone.

Cecilia stepped forward, suggesting, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, let me accompany you.”

“Alright, alright.” Hailey patted Cecilia’s hand and said, “Cecilia, do as I say later. If we can get through this safely, you’ll be our family’s future daughter–in–law!”

Cecilia felt a surge of joy upon hearing Hailey’s promise. “Got it, Mrs. Brooks Senior!”

The police car circled outside for half an hour before slowly making its way to the police station. When they got out of the car, Sergio’s face was dark. Larry, beside him, was also suppressing his anger.

The driver deliberately took a circuitous route to ensure that the public caught sight of their police escort and further fueled discussions. How could Zion resort to such underhanded tactics?

at. When he her eyes met Sergio’s, they were both cold.

“Mr. Spencer, Ms. Scott, please step out of the car,” the police urged.

In another police car, Maeve got out of the car wrapped in Zion’s cost.

Sergio cast a chilly glance at Zion, remarking, “Mr. Spencer, you’ve certainly outdone yourself this time. I must say, I’m impressed.” Zion didn’t hesitate to boast, “Well, compared to you, Mr. Brooks, my methods are indeed a bit more sophisticated ”

“Mr. Brooks, please come with us to make a statement,” the police led Sergio away.

As they left, Sergio’s gaze lingered on Maeve, but she averted her eyes and refused to meet his gaze again.

“Let’s go.” Zion escorted Maeve inside. But before they could reach the police station, a car’s headlights suddenly illuminated them, Without a word, Hailey got out of the car in a rage and raised her hand to slap Maeve. But before she could, Maeve caught her wrist. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, we’re all respected individuals. Is this really necessary?”

“Maeve Scott! You’ve disgraced us! You’ve completely disregarded the Brooks family’s reputation. Now, you could even send your own husband to the police station.

“How could there be such a wicked woman in this world? If I had known, I never would’ve allowed you through our family’s doors!” Halley was gasping for breath, her eyes blazing furiously.

“That’s right, Ms. Scott. How could you do such a thing? Hurry up. Explain to the police that it was a misunderstanding and ask them to release Sergio!” Cecilia said indignantly.

Maeve almost chuckled at Cecilia’s words.

“Ms. Hoffman, who are you to be giving me orders? It was Sergio who kidnapped me and attempted to rape me. I’m the victim here.

“Why should I explain anything to the police? Why should I ask them to release Sergio?”

Though somewhat guilty, Cecilia insisted, “Because... because Sergio is your husband! How can it be called rape when it’s between a husband and wife?”

“Get this straight. Anything without consent is rape. Furthermore, Sergio and I are already in the process of getting a divorce.

“He had people kidnap me to a hotel. If this isn’t rape, then what is?”

Maeve’s voice turned cold. “I used to consider settling the divorce amicably with Sergio out of respect for our marriage.

“But he stubbornly refused and even resorted to such despicable actions. Now, it’s entirely justified for me to sue him ”

“You! Maeve! You’re simply outrageous! Let me tell you, even if Sergio disagrees, your marriage with him is over! I absolutely won’t tolerate such a woman in our family!”

Hailey pulled Cecilia aside, saying, “Cecilia, come, let’s head inside.”

“Yes, Mrs. Brooks Senior.”
