Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 128

Night had settled in outside, but the lights at the police station still burned bright.

Sean sat on a cold metal chair. His shoulders slumped, and his eyes were rimmed with red. He had been there the entire day, dragged through one round of questioning after another.

Every passing minute felt like slow torture.

Footsteps echoed down the corridor, growing clearer.

He looked up and saw two familiar figures walking in behind a police officer.

Helena rushed ahead the moment she caught sight of Sean. The moment she saw how disheveled he looked, her eyes welled instantly. "Sean! My poor boy!"

She grabbed his arm and looked him over from head to toe, tears streaming down her cheeks. "How are you? Did they do anything to you? Did they hurt you?"

She broke down in uncontrollable tears.

Behind her, Easton walked in wearing a perfectly tailored black suit, his cool, distant expression making him seem completely out of place.

He softly cleared his throat.

Helena's sobs cut off at once.

She froze in place, as though an invisible hand had closed around her throat. She cast a fearful look over her shoulder before letting go of Sean and stepping back.

Easton glanced at Sean, a flicker of unmistakable disdain in his eyes.

Sean was truly a disgrace to the Frost family. Being hauled into a police station was utterly humiliating.

"What a disgrace," he said flatly. "Get up. We're leaving."

Easton finished the paperwork and turned to walk out without taking another glance at Sean.

"Hand in your resignation at the hospital," he said coldly. "From now on, stay home and remember your place as a Frost."

Sean shot to his feet, his face going even paler. "I'm not quitting!"

Sean's anger instantly dissipated at Easton's words. He stared at the latter in disbelief, a slow rush of relief washing over his face.

"Thank you, Easton!" he said, his voice full of genuine gratitude.

Easton's expression remained unchanged. After all, Sean's thanks meant nothing to him.

"Behave yourself from now on," he said coldly. "Stay away from Annie."

The only reason he had intervened was to protect the Frost family's reputation.

Christian had already made his move. Frost Group's stock had taken a noticeable hit that day.

Easton wasn't going to let that slide, but this wasn't the time to go head-to-head with the Parkers. For now, Sean needed to be kept under control.

The moment Easton mentioned Annie, the emotions Sean had forced down began to surge back up.
