Chapter 47 

The cop shot them a dirty look. The Police Commissioner is throwing Chief Parker in the slammer for an investigation. And you two, you ain’t going anywhere either.He jabbed his finger at Sophie and Dylan, making them turn white with fear

Sophie blurted out, Why should we stay? We haven’t done anything wrong” 

Causing trouble and unlawfully occupying someone else’s house, Just based on this, you two could end up doing several years behind bars.The cop laid it out plain and simple 

Hearing that, Dylan glanced over at Sharon in disbelief, his face draining of color, thinking. She called the Commissioner? And they took down Chief Parker that fast? No freaking way! Isn’t she supposed to be out on her own! I thought her family had zero pull 

Dylan, being a local, knew that Erlan was not born and bred in this place. After having lived here for decades. Ethan was still an outsider 

The cop ignored Dylan’s thoughts, signaling for cuffs. Sophie made a break but got pulled back. Soon, the Police Commissioner’s crew arrived and whisked them away

The cop came up to Sharon and Ethan, saying sorry. We knew you were clean, but the ChiefYou know how it is out here in the sticks.” 

Got itSharon knew he meant well but couldn’t do much, so she didn’t kick up a fuss

The cop polarely walked Sharon and Ethan out, then swung by later to make sure the rest of the Evans family cleared out by morning

As Sophie and Dylan got hauled off, Harper, left behind with her son, bawled her eyes out, hurling curses as she packed up 

We should thank Alanna this time. Without her, who knows how much crap we’d be in. After all, it’s my fault for letting you suffer, Ethan murmured, feeling guilty for failing to protect his daughter 

Being a quiet man, admitting selfblame showed just how heavy the quilt weighed on him

Sharon took Ethan’s hand and said, Dad, I’m not a kid anymore. I can handle myself. But you can’t go waving knives around. It’s scary

In her memory, Ethan had never pulled a stunt like that before

Ethan remained silent, the guilt hanging heavy on him these days, wondering if his own weakness had let the Stanley family walk all over his daughter

Sophie and Dylan got out the next day, looking disheveled. They not only blew securing the house but also dragged Chief Parker into it, who happened to be Sophie’s niece’s husband

Early in the morning. Sophie’s niece showed up in tears, begging Sophie to help get Chief Parker out Sophie had no pull like that. In the end, she scared her niece off with a good tonguebashing

The Evans family moved back to their old rundown shack after losing the big house. Being lazy, Sophie and Dylan didn’t bother fixing it up much, so while others built big homes, theirs stayed bare, just one cramped room for four people

Bright and early. Sophie’s grandson was in tears, saying he hated being there. They used to live large in Ethan’s place, but now back in their old spot, it felt like a dump. And it wasn’t just the kid; Dylan and his wife were also in a sour mood

What was worse, heavy rain started pouring early in the morning, and the leaky house drove Harper to angrily leave for her parentsplace with her son. Dylan, in a fit of rage, smashed what little furniture they had before storming out. Finally, only Sophie remained, sighing heavily

She regretted not treating Sharon and Ethan better, thinking it might’ve avoided this mess. And also the resented the Cress family for snatching away a house they clearly didn’t need

Rich people are always heartless and ruthless,Sophie mused

The more she thought, the worse she felt, tears streaming down her face

After a while, Sophie remembered her daughter living an affluent life, despite their strained relationship. It had been almost twenty years since she last visited, but her granddaughter had stayed for a while

Thinking about her granddaughter perked Sophie up. She dug through her stuff and grabbed a phone book, filled with her own chicken scratch. After a bit of hunting, the found the number she wanted and dialed it in a flashu 

Hello!Soon, a clear voice came from the other end 

Sophie took a quick breath and replied, Hey, Tilda, it’s Grandma” 

Mm,Tilda responded, unenthusiastic. No excitement for her grandma there

Clupter 47 

Eager to vent, Sophie brushed off Tikla’s attitude. Tikla, Grandma got bullied” 

What happened?Sophie getting bullied was news to Tilda, surprising her

Sophie quickly recounted what happened

After hearing the story, Tilda got it right away. Grandma, you moved into someone cle’s house and tried to boot them out. They were just protecting their legal rights. Why get all worked up?” 

Tilda knew her grandma like the back of her hand who was lazy, always looking for shortcuts. So, it wasn’t exactly shocking her grandma pulled such a shameless move

Sorry, Crandina, I can’t help, Tilda said, eyeing her nails, growing impatient. If Sophie wasn’t family, she’d have hung up by now

Tilda’s rejection hit Sophie hard. Tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably
