Joshua hurried over to Allison, concern etched all over his face. "Allie, are you alright?"
Earlier, Joshua had swung by the police station to check on the progress of Lizzy's case. That's where he found out Allison had just been there too. Without wasting a second, he dashed outside to look for her.
It didn't take long for him to spot her. As he got closer, he heard a woman standing in front of Allison, throwing insults her way.
With just one look from Joshua, his bodyguard stepped in and restrained the woman. Listening to her rant, Joshua realized she was one of Kate's rabid fans, like the guy who had thrown acid before.
Joshua's eyes turned icy, his gaze as sharp as a knife as it landed on the fan kneeling before him. His commanding presence was enough to make her shiver with fear.
The fan's back stiffened, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Who was this Allison, really? Why did she have bodyguards?
The fan's earlier bravado vanished. She knelt and offered a pitiful apology. "I'm sorry... I messed up. Please, show some mercy and forgive me..."
Allison narrowed her eyes, clearly unimpressed by the apology. The fan dared a quick peek at Allison, seeing her icy expression, and felt a stab of fear, trembling uncontrollably.
She immediately lowered her head in a desperate plea. "Please forgive me, I truly understand my mistake, I swear I'll never do it again, sob sob sob..."
Her forehead hitting the pavement made a loud thud.
After a moment, Allison spoke, her voice cold. "Call the police."
This was the second time an obsessive fan had caused trouble. Allison had no intention of brushing it under the rug. These fans were adults who knew exactly what they were doing, and they needed to face the consequences.
The woman's face turned ghostly pale at the mention of calling the police. "Please, no! Don't call them, I promise I won't do it again, I'm begging you!"
Allison remained unmoved. One of the bodyguards pulled out his phone to call the police.
"You," Allison pointed to another bodyguard, "record a video when the police get here."
