Naturally, Sandy didn't want Stella to face Luca alone outside.
"Sandy, be good. Your sister knows what to do," Brandon, for once, asserted himself and carried Sandy directly into the bedroom.
"Brandon!" Sandy looked a bit annoyed at him.
Brandon placed her on the bed and leaned over to look at her, saying softly, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter, Sandy. I know you care about your sister, but it's best to let her handle it herself. Your involvement won't help."
Sandy stared at Brandon and said in a serious tone, "You have no idea how that jerk treated my sister!"
Brandon gently touched Sandy's face with his hand and said softly, "I know. He's nothing but scum. Your sister knows what she's doing. Now that you're pregnant, it's best for you not to get involved, and with me here, I won't let him bully your sister. Okay?"
Meeting Brandon's gaze, Sandy hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Then you go outside and keep an eye on him, don't let him bully my sister."
"Sandy, when your sister let us in, it's clear she doesn't want us to get involved in their affairs. If I go out now, it will make things awkward for her," Brandon explained softly.
Hearing Brandon's words, Sandy hesitated and felt that he had a point. She didn't say anything further.
When Meggie arrived and saw Luca, her heart skipped a beat.
There was even a hint of fear in her heart.
Meggie knew the kind of person Stella was. Even when Luca was involved with Alia back then, Stella never raised a hand against him.
So for Stella to take such drastic action, Meggie's first reaction was that Luca must have done something unforgivable to provoke such a response.
Thus, Meggie stared at Luca with a cold look and quickly walked toward Stella, who was standing at the door. "Stella, are you okay?"
Stella looked at Meggie coming over, glanced at Luca's face, and whispered, "His injuries..."
"It's fine. He won't die." Before Stella could finish, Meggie interrupted, looking at her concernedly. "Are you okay? What did he do?"
As Stella was about to speak, the elevator door opened again.
Seeing the police stepping out, Stella's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
When Meggie saw the police, her expression changed completely. She glanced at Stella, then at Luca.
Finally, Meggie walked up to Luca and asked in a low voice, "What did you do?"
Luca met Meggie's gaze, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "I forced Stella last night."
The words caused Meggie to lose her temper, and she slapped Luca across the face. "Are you crazy?"
At this time, the newly arrived police officer looked at Luca and Meggie before asking, "Who is Sandy?"
Hearing Sandy's name, Stella took a step forward. "She's my sister, and she made the call to the police."
"Then you must be Luca?" The police officer turned to Luca.
