Jameson flexed his fist, veins bulging from his force. Feeling horrible, Josh kicked his feet and grabbed

Jameson's hands, which were wrapped around his neck.

Jameson jeered, "All it takes is some taunting for you to silence the two victims. Tsk, tsk. You're stupid

and gullible. So, what makes you think you could take me on?"

Josh's eyes wavered. He was overwhelmed by humiliation. "You're not that hopeless, though,

considering you knew to take advantage of David to carry out the act. I thought I could take down everynovelbin

one of you this time, but I guess I'll have to wait."

Then, Jameson let go of Josh and left the meeting room cackling. Josh, alone in the meeting room and

drenched in sweat, panted heavily.

Even though Alyssa and Jasper did not show up in front of the media, they were present at the police

station to keep guard over Maggie and Anora.

Xavier and Sean tagged along for the statement recording. Not only that, Sean, well-versed in law,

helped the families with the paperwork and patiently answered questions.

"Thank you, Xavier, and you here. Are you Ms. Alyssa's friend?" Gina thanked them with tears of

gratitude. "Thank you for helping us!"

"Madam, don't mention it." Sean approached her emotionally and teared up as well. "This is not just for

you and Alyssa. I am doing this for a personal reason."

Stunned, Gina mused, "A personal reason?"

"Ms. Alyssa's sister—the young lady who called out David on live stream—is my girlfriend," he declared

proudly.

"I see. The two of you are not only kind-hearted but a perfect match for each other. I am genuinely

thankful to Ms. Tatiana and you for your righteousness."

Sean was beyond elated upon hearing Gina's words.

After Maggie exited the interrogation room, she hurried into the restroom to calm herself down, as she

refused to display her vulnerability to her mother and Xavier.

Xavier, worried about Maggie, surprisingly turned up at the police station. He waited patiently and

anxiously by the entrance. The policewomen who walked past him shot him weird looks, but Xavier,

normally sensitive, did not seem to care.

Soon, Maggie strutted out of the restroom, eyes still red and swollen from the crying. When she looked

up, she found a clean hanky with a blue gingham design in front of her face.

"Ms. Madison, clean up with this." Xavier beamed at her. "You look like a mess now, but I'm sure you

feel better after letting it all out. Am I right?"

She accepted the clean hanky, wanting to wipe away the tears but worried about dirtying it. So, she

gently dabbed it on her cheek and said, "I feel better. Thank you, Xavier. I-I'll return the hanky to you

after I wash it."

Fixing his gaze on her radiant face, he felt himself attracted to her. His heart pounded every time her

lashes fluttered.

Failing to hold back, he placed a hand on top of her head and caressed it. He croaked, "Remember,

come to me if you are in trouble. I will rush to help you as soon as I can, no matter what time it is or

where I am."

Her heart quickened when she looked up into his bright and brilliant eyes.
