The officer’s tone turned firm. “Ms. Sinclair, I advise you not to resist. If you get hurt, don’t blame us. We’re enforcing the law.

“The Hale family reported this, the injured party identified you, and the witnesses identified you as well. Please come with us.”

Calvin stepped forward, trying to mediate. “Officer, the situation isn’t clear yet. This is a family matter, and we’d prefer to handle it ourselves. Sorry for the trouble.”

Bianca snapped, almost hysterical. “Are you insane? That’s your daughter over there! Why are you defending this woman?”

Calvin roared back, “Nothing’s been confirmed yet, and you’ve already called the police to arrest her? I think you’re the one who’s insane!”

Bianca broke down crying, and the two began arguing again as nearby guests rushed in to calm

them.

The officer’s patience wore thin. “Do you think this is a joke? Do you think you can just call us when you want and dismiss us when you don’t?

“Is this a false report?”

Monica quickly spoke up, her voice urgent. “No, officer, that’s not it! It was her! Agnes Sinclair is the one who hurt me.

“Please take her in for investigation. If you need me later, I’ll fully cooperate.”

The lead officer exchanged a glance with his team.

In the next second, several officers rushed forward, grabbed Agnes, and twisted her arms behind her back.

They began dragging her toward the door. “Let go of me! Is this how you enforce the law? You have no evidence, and you’re arresting people at random! I’ll report all of you!”

“Go ahead and report us, Ms. Sinclair. We’re acting lawfully. Take her!”

Just as they reached the entrance, everyone froze.

Agnes looked up and saw a tall man standing in the doorway, his features sharp and striking.

It was Raymond.

A chilling aura radiated from him, his dark eyes cold and dangerous as he looked down at them.

The moment Monica saw him, she rushed forward like a swallow returning to its nest, her voice trembling with grievance.

“Raymond! You’re finally here! I was so scared…”

She opened her arms, trying to throw herself into his embrace. She was ready to tell him everything.

She wanted to make him see just how much she had suffered and how cruel Agnes had been.

But before she could get close, Raymond lifted a hand and pressed it against her forehead, pushing her away without a hint of mercy.

“Ow!”

Monica stumbled backward and fell hard onto the sofa.

Tears welled instantly in her eyes as she looked at him in shock, her voice shaking.

“Raymond… you…”

The room erupted into hushed whispers.

“Well, the Newton heir is here to celebrate his future father-in-law’s birthday.”

“This just got interesting. The ex is causing a scene at the current girlfriend’s house. Let’s see how he handles it.”

“Obviously, he’ll side with the current one. He came here personally for the father’s birthday, didn’t he?”

“Exactly. And look at that Mario custom diamond bracelet on Monica’s wrist. You can tell how important she is to him.”

“Honestly, Ms. Sinclair brought this on herself. Making such a scene, exposing everything… and now she’s getting taken away by the police.

“How could the Newton family accept someone like that? How foolish.”

“She’s desperate. The richest family in Grandridge is slipping through her fingers. Well, she had

her chance and blew it.”

Raymond’s expression darkened further, anger flickering beneath his eyes. His voice dropped, cach word slow and chilling.

“What do you think you’re doing? Let her go.”

The lead officer immediately recognized him and rushed forward with a forced smile.

“Mr. Newton, look, we…

“Ah!”

Before he could even get close, Raymond kicked him hard, sending him flying.

Everyone froze in shock. Then, his voice cut through the silence, cold as ice. “I said let her go.”
