His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 534

Right then, in Elmsworth.

Nydia stood alone in front of the Elmsworth Police Station, her jaws clenched tight, as she mustered the courage to step inside.

"Miss, are you here to file a report?" a female officer greeted her.

Nydia nodded vigorously and asked in a soft voice, "Excuse me, is Captain Aaron available?"

Aaron had been swamped with work for two straight days and nights, and was now catching some Zs in the duty room.

When he got word that Nydia had come looking for him, he shot up like a fish jumping out of water and went out to greet her.

Inside the office.

Nydia and Aaron sat across from each other, the girl's fingers interlaced and twisting nervously, her knuckles turning white.

"Nydia, what's got you coming down here all of a sudden? Is something wrong?" Aaron's gaze was sharp and probing, but his tone was full of concern.

Though they were half-siblings, Nydia, ever so gentle and shy, had always followed in the shadow of her older sister, Evadne, outshined by her brilliance. But Aaron never played favorites, always treating her just like his own sister. Whenever he returned from a trip, he'd bring back the same gifts for Nydia as he did for Evadne.

But as they grew older, they naturally drifted apart. Nydia, reserved and introverted, never reached out to her brothers as Evadne did. So, to an outsider, their relationship seemed less intimate.

Yet to Aaron, whether Evadne or Nydia, his commitment to them was unwavering.

After a moment of tense silence, Nydia slowly lifted her gaze to meet Aaron's penetrating eyes.

"Aaron, I want to come forward as a victim and testify against Byron for sexual assault."

Aaron's pupils shrank sharply, "Nydia, what did you say?"

"I want to press charges against Byron for sexual assault." As Nydia spoke these words, her heart felt as if it were bleeding.

Aaron pressed his lips together tightly.

He was an exemplary detective, with ample professional investigative skills and a strong psychological resilience. But when tragedy strikes so close to his family member, he had to tread even more carefully.

And yet, he wanted nothing more than to see Byron, that beast, brought to justice!

"Nydia, have you discussed this with Myra? Does Evadne know about this?"

Nydia shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper, "Aaron, if I had told them, do you think I’d be here? Truth be told, last night I went to see my sister and brother-in-law, and after I shared my thoughts, they vehemently opposed it."

Aaron's lashes quivered slightly, his voice grave, "They’re trying to protect you from potential harm. You're my sister too, and my feelings for you are no different.
