He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1096

Afterward, Stellan immediately walked over to Juno, a rare hint of a smile appearing on his normally cold face.

"Officer, your orders have been executed. Awaiting further instructions."

Seeing the situation under control, Juno lowered her weapon with crisp, professional precision.

Her cold gaze swept over the panicked Veronica as she spoke in a deep, authoritative tone.

"Your name is Veronica Thorne, correct?"

"We received a report that you gathered a mob here tonight to corner and assault individuals, while also conspiring to destroy a thousand-year-old cultural heritage site... Any single one of those charges is enough to hold you legally responsible."

With that, she glanced up at her accompanying personnel. "Gather all the evidence and secure it. Transfer these individuals to law enforcement to be processed according to the law."

A few men in plainclothes, standing with military-straight posture, nodded in acknowledgment and quickly began leading the suspects away.

Seeing things go south, Sean had already used the chaos of the helicopter landing to quietly slip into the nearby woods, watching the scene unfold from the shadows.

Watching Veronica and her hired thugs get hauled off left him absolutely terrified, his legs trembling uncontrollably. He stood frozen, his face ashen, his lips quivering in fear.

Realizing this was no place to linger, he instinctively turned to flee deeper into the dense, dark woods, hoping to hide out for the night and escape after everyone had left.

But the moment he turned around, he stepped on something long and squishy...

In that split second, a violent shudder wracked his body. He leaped into the air in pure terror, letting out a piercing shriek!
