Chapter 304 Never had Cecilia felt so on edge.
Realizing the urgency, Hailey exclaimed, âYes! Allie! Quickly, fetch the driver. We need to get to the police station now!â
âYes, Mrs. Brooks Senior!â Allie hurried off to fetch someone.
Cecilia stepped forward, suggesting, âMrs. Brooks Senior, let me accompany you.â
âAlright, alright.â Hailey patted Ceciliaâs hand and said, âCecilia, do as I say later. If we can get through this safely, youâll be our familyâs future daughterâinâlaw!â
Cecilia felt a surge of joy upon hearing Haileyâs promise. âGot it, Mrs. Brooks Senior!â
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, Sergioâs 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 Sergioâs, they were both cold.
âMr. Spencer, Ms. Scott, please step out of the car,â the police urged.
In another police car, Maeve got out of the car wrapped in Zionâs cost.
Sergio cast a chilly glance at Zion, remarking, âMr. Spencer, youâve certainly outdone yourself this time. I must say, Iâm impressed.â Zion didnât hesitate to boast, âWell, compared to you, Mr. Brooks, my methods are indeed a bit more sophisticated â
âMr. Brooks, please come with us to make a statement,â the police led Sergio away.
As they left, Sergioâs gaze lingered on Maeve, but she averted her eyes and refused to meet his gaze again.
âLetâs go.â Zion escorted Maeve inside. But before they could reach the police station, a carâs 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. âMrs. Brooks Senior, weâre all respected individuals. Is this really necessary?â
âMaeve Scott! Youâve disgraced us! Youâve completely disregarded the Brooks familyâs reputation. Now, you could even send your own husband to the police station.
âHow could there be such a wicked woman in this world? If I had known, I never wouldâve allowed you through our familyâs doors!â Halley was gasping for breath, her eyes blazing furiously.
âThatâs 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!â Cecilia said indignantly.
Maeve almost chuckled at Ceciliaâs words.
âMs. Hoffman, who are you to be giving me orders? It was Sergio who kidnapped me and attempted to rape me. Iâm the victim here.
âWhy should I explain anything to the police? Why should I ask them to release Sergio?â
Though somewhat guilty, Cecilia insisted, âBecause... because Sergio is your husband! How can it be called rape when itâs between a husband and wife?â
âGet this straight. Anything without consent is rape. Furthermore, Sergio and I are already in the process of getting a divorce.
âHe had people kidnap me to a hotel. If this isnât rape, then what is?â
Maeveâs voice turned cold. âI used to consider settling the divorce amicably with Sergio out of respect for our marriage.
âBut he stubbornly refused and even resorted to such despicable actions. Now, itâs entirely justified for me to sue him â
âYou! Maeve! Youâre simply outrageous! Let me tell you, even if Sergio disagrees, your marriage with him is over! I absolutely wonât tolerate such a woman in our family!â
Hailey pulled Cecilia aside, saying, âCecilia, come, letâs head inside.â
âYes, Mrs. Brooks Senior.â
