Deon personally went abroad to pick her up once, but in the end, he was driven away without even seeing her. He was a successful businessman who had never been treated like this. He immediately swore that he would never come again!
Even though he had stuck to his words for so long, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Sleeping in his second wife’s bedroom at night, he was thinking about Bernice and his little daughter, Emma who was like him the most. Deon had spoiled his first daughter so that she had been out of control since she was a child. She was mean to the servants. Deon immediately knew that his words and behaviors might affect his children, especially his daughters. So when Bernice was pregnant with a girl, he bought a villa in the suburbs to let her give birth to Emma. He also found her an etiquette teacher and a martial arts teacher.
Bernice wanted to go back to the quadrangle courtyard, but Deon didn’t agree. He had his own plans. He didn’t want Bernice to be influenced by the people there and become irritable and cold-blooded. He wanted to give the child a safe and healthy environment so that she could grow up like a normal child.
However, an Albertons was destined to be not ordinary. Perhaps she looked like an ordinary child, but her heart was no longer the heart of an ordinary child.
Emma had was extraordinarily calm since childhood. She would watch the people on the arena fight to their deaths without even blinking an eye while her sister on the side was so frightened that she cried out loudly because she saw a dead body.
Deon liked his little daughter Emma the most, but she was not close to him. She would not act like a spoiled child and she would not ask him for gifts. Moreover, she would not even sweetly call him daddy when she met him.
She said calmly, “Father.”
It was as if she was calling her teacher indifferently, making Deon feel like he was an insignificant stranger.
“Dad?” Deon’s first son, who was sitting at the front passenger seat, reached out to hand his phone over, “It’s looking for you.”
Deon came back to his senses and took the phone, “Hello…”
“I’m not lying. Our daughter is really back.”
“I’m not lying to you. She’s in the police station now. We’re on our way over now. You can’t come back for a while anyway. I’ll send you a photo when I see her. Quickly book your ticket back.”
A sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone, “You jerk, if you lie to me, you’re dead!”
Deon, who was not afraid of anything, was scolded, but his face was still full of joy, “Come on! How dare I lie to you?”
Deon’s first son, who was sitting at the front passenger seat, rolled his eyes speechlessly.
After hanging up the phone, Deon looked out of the window for a long time with a refreshed expression. Then he turned around and shouted at the driver, “Why haven’t we arrived yet? Drive faster!”
Driver only nodded.
It was an hour and a half away from City Y, but he had only left for less than half an hour!
**
Armando never thought that the next time he met Janessa would be in the police station.
At this time, the two of them finished the interrogation. They sat on the bench and looked at the police. As their attorney, Jaquan was communicating with some policemen. Ferne was also talking nonstop.
Janessa wore a turtleneck, probably to cover up her neck, but there was still a love bite on the back of her neck. She lowered her head, and Armando saw the love bite. He stared at it, rolled his Adam’s apple, and forcefully moved his gaze away.
“Janessa,” he said in a low voice, “Go back. They’re worried about you. I’m not going back. I’ve been living in my own house for the past few days.”
Janessa did not say anything and lowered her head. He didn’t know what she was thinking.
“If you don’t want to see me, I won’t show up until you want to see me.” He looked expectantly at her side face.
Janessa was truly beautiful. When she did not speak, she was so quiet and beautiful that she was like a fairy coming to the mortal world. She had this temperament on her body.
She didn’t say anything, and Armando was also silent. The two of them fell into silence, and neither of them intended to speak.
Someone came from outside. It was Collin. He was in his glasses and he walked over to Jaquan, asking, “How’s it going?”
He and Emma were not so close, but Jaquan still cared much about Emma. He didn’t know why. He was only slightly interested in Emma.
Of course, if the women he was interested in entered the police station, this doctor, who was as busy as the Mayor of City Y, would not come here to comfort her. This was completely unreasonable.
Of course, Jaquan didn’t have time to think about anything else. He hadn’t seen Emma in person so far because Emma didn’t want a lawyer. The police’s attitude was also very resolute, saying that the suspect had confessed. The police wanted to send them away. After all, three people died, and Emma was a weak woman who did not look like a murderer at all. Of course, the police wanted to close the case according to their own thoughts and verify it before submitting it to the court for judgment.
Most importantly, Emma knew that the lawyer was Jaquan. She didn’t want a lawyer so that she didn’t have to see Jaquan.
“She doesn’t want to see me.” when Jaquan said this, his entire body seemed to have been drained of strength.
“Can I see her?” Collin asked. He looked at the policeman in front of him and asked again, “May I see her?”
“Probably not, because she doesn’t want to see anyone.” Ferne pointed at Janessa on the bench and said, “She also wanted to see Emma, but Emma refused.”
“My name is Collin. Please help me ask her.” Collin looked sincerely at a policeman. The policeman looked at his boss and after obtaining the approval, he entered the interrogation room. After entering, he closed the door.
However, everyone did not expect that Emma agreed.
Jaquan had mixed feelings. He just looked at Collin and wanted to say something to him, but he didn’t say a word.
Collin roughly understood his expression and patted his shoulder. “I’ll go check on her.”
Two policemen brought Collin inside. Emma was handcuffed but sat in a chair very straightly. She wore a hairpin on the back of her head. From her back, she looked like a noble lady because she was wearing a cheongsam. She did not wear any jewelry, but she was calm and indifferent.
She looked calmly at Collin and revealed a faint smile, “Aren’t you busy at hospital?”
Collin didn’t expect that she would care about him.
The two policemen behind him couldn’t help but glance at each other and thought that this woman was either careless or mentally abnormal.
“Busy. I came here during a short break. Are you alright?” Collin asked. There was no worried expression on his face. He was just curious, “Why didn’t you let him help you?”
He was referring to Jaquan.
“It’s not necessary,” she shook her head.
“Then why do you meet me?” Collin looked at her.
Emma looked down at the handcuffs on her hands and asked, “Doctor Mueller, can you hug me?” as she spoke, she stood up and raised her handcuffs to ask the police, “Is that okay?”
The two policemen went over and searched them again. After they found that there were no dangerous items on them, they said, “Alright, but it can’t take more than a minute.”
Normally, Collin would ridicule the policeman that since when did the time of hug become limited.
However, he didn’t not waste any time and walked over to Emma, gently hugging her.
Emma whispered in his ear, “Stony is with Arabella. Please take him over. Please take care of him in the future. My family may find me, but they can’t find him, so I’m begging you.”
She didn’t know the news that Stony had disappeared.
Collin guessed that she wanted to see him because of Stony. He silently sighed and asked, “Are you really not going to tell him?”
Collin was referring to Jaquan.
Emma stiffened. Before she could say anything, the policeman looked at his watch and said, “Time is up.”
When Collin came out, he noticed that the atmosphere in the police station was a little strange. After walking a few steps to the lobby, he saw that Jaquan’s parents were also there. The two of them were staring at Jaquan with hostility.
Collin was confused.
Jaquan held Stony in his arms. Stony saw Jaquan as soon as he entered the police station. He immediately sprinted to Jaquan, hugging him and bursting into tears.
Jaquan also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Stony. He carried him into his arms and said, “Where were you? You scared the shit out of me. I thought you were lost. If you were lost, your mother would kill me.”
When Felice and Allen entered, they saw this scene. Stony looked like Jaquan. Moreover, the two of them were familiar each other. Clearly, they were father and son. Felice and Allen wanted to rush over to ask their son what was going on, but now that there were so many people here, it was embarrassing to quarrel with him. Thus, the two of them could only stare at Jaquan.
At this moment, Jaquan finally raised his head to see his parents and asked in surprise, “Dad, Mom, what are you doing here?”
Stony climbed down from his embrace. He probably heard Jaquan called these two old people Dad and Mom. Thus, he very courteously said, “Hello, Grandpa and Grandma.”
Felice was in surprise and said, “Are you really my grandson?”
Allen nodded and said, “It looks like so.”
Jaquan didn’t say anything.
He didn’t know whether to tell the truth or not. He was afraid that Felice wouldn’t like Stony after he said it, so he thought for a moment and kept silent.
Collin wanted to walk over, but he stopped. On one side were Emma’s words, while on the other side was his best friend. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then he decided to leave the choice to Stony.
“Stony, come here,” Collin waved at him.
Only then did Jaquan realize that Collin had come out. He immediately walked to him with stony and asked in a low voice, “How was it? What did she say?”
Collin ignored him and squatted down. He looked at Stony and asked, “You want to go with him or me?”
