The Gardner couple left home quickly, rushing to the police station.
Shortly after, they met Makayla.
Mrs. Gardner hugged Makayla and wept sadly. "You bad girl! I'm so scared. Do you know how worried I was when hearing you were arrested in the police station?"
While she cried, she hit Makayla's back.
Makayla could feel Mrs. Gardner's nervousness and worry from the bottom of her heart. She raised her arms and hugged Mrs. Gardner. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom."
She wondered if this was the unreserved love from a mother to her children.
Finally, she felt it. It was beautiful, warm, and dear.
Hence, she couldn't be blamed for longing to be Makayla Gardner all the time.
Trenton didn't show his emotion so openly as Mrs. Gardner did, but he looked at Makayla with concerns. "Did you get hurt?"
Makayla knew he wondered if she got injured when attacking Amber.
Makayla shook her head and answered happily, "No, I didn't."
"That's good, then." Trenton breathed a sigh of relief. He put on a solemn look and said, "Tell me. Why did you attack Amber Reed? Haven't you seen how your sister ended up like?"
He had already planned to avoid Amber for the time being because he finally saved The Trident Group and the Gardner family. He couldn't have the energy to be against her yet.
Much to his surprise, Makayla stupidly attacked Amber.
He didn't care if she had done so, but she failed and was sent to the police station by Amber.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't want to do it. I just saw Mom be sad about my sister, so I wanted to do something for Mom and my sister," Makayla lowered her head and said, her voice becoming lower and lower.
Mrs. Gardner was taken aback. "So, Makayla, did you do that for me..."
Makayla nodded slightly.
Mrs. Gardner was so touched that she hugged Makayla again. "My dear Makayla..."
Trenton was irritated by Mrs. Gardner's weep. In a hurry, he stopped her, "Stop it. Stop crying."
Mrs. Gardner sniffed and stopped weeping.
Trenton looked back at Makayla. "I can understand you've done it for your mother. You were just way too reckless."
"I know. I'm sorry, Dad," Makayla apologized. Her eyes twinkled.
Trenton heaved a sigh. "Forget it. You've already done it. It's useless to scold you now. Tell me. How was Amber Reed's injury? I'll see how to rescue you."
"Ms. Reed wasn't injured seriously. Her head was wounded," answered Makayla.
She knew her parents would definitely rescue her.
Hence, she didn't panic after admitting that she had attacked Amber.
She knew she was the only child of the Gardner family.
If Ms. Reed and Mr. Cohen wanted to expose her real identity...
Thinking about her secret weapon, Makayla curled up her lips into a smile.
"Her head was wounded. It seems not serious. It shouldn't be a criminal case. You will only have the administrative detention for a few days at the most," Trenton said, squinting.
Makayla's eyes lit up. She hurriedly asked, "Dad, did you mean I wouldn't go to jail?"
Mrs. Gardner wouldn't want her daughter to go to jail, so she instantly answered, "Of course not. As your father said, it's not a criminal case. You won't go to jail for that."
Makayla trembled with excitement.
Great!
Although she knew her parents would definitely rescue her, she didn't expect that she wouldn't need to go to jail.
"You two stay here. I'll ask the police about the bail," Trenton said to his wife.
Mrs. Gardner nodded. "Sure. Come back soon."
