The entire city was glued to their screens. Online comment sections were moving so fast they were a blur of speculation and outrage.
At the Sinclair villa, Morgan’s brow was furrowed with concern. Beside him, Henry was pacing, his anxiety palpable. “Is she really going to be taken away for questioning?” he asked. Even if Lilian refused to acknowledge him as her father, he couldn’t bear the thought of his own daughter being hauled off by the authorities.
It was obvious that Rowan was the architect behind this. If she were taken into custody, there was no telling what kind of charges they would cook up behind closed doors.
“Rowan clearly came prepared,” Morgan said, his voice grave. “He and that officer have undoubtedly reached an understanding. If Lilian can’t produce the specific license they’re demanding, things will get very difficult.”
“Then what do we do?” Henry pressed. “The booklet she’s holding isn’t the license they want. She’s walking right into a trap.”
Morgan looked at the genuine fear in his son’s eyes and felt a small sense of relief. At least Henry still had a heart. “Don’t worry. Lilian won’t fall that easily. She has Sebastian behind her, and don’t forget her status with the Philips family. Even the Sorens wouldn’t dare push her too far once they realize who’s truly backing her.”
Henry let out a shaky breath, finally relaxing a fraction.
“But,” Morgan continued, pointing to the screen, “what about Chloe? She’s openly attacking Lilian in front of the entire country. Even if Lilian decides to be merciful, the Philips family and Sebastian certainly won’t be.”
Henry sighed, a look of defeat crossing his face. “Let her be. I’ve warned her, but she won’t listen. She’s grown resentful of this family. If she wants to chase this path, let her face the consequences.”
Morgan shook his head, silenced by the tragedy of it all.
Over at the Kingston University cafeteria, every student was staring at the wall–mounted monitors. Lilian was one of their own, and despite the scandals, the campus was buzzing with support.
Elsie slammed her hand on the table, standing up in a rage. “Rowan is a snake! Every word out of his mouth is a dig at Lilian. He’s practically begging the officer to arrest her. It’s so obvious they’re in this together!”
Isabelle caught the looks from the surrounding tables and tugged at Elsie’s sleeve. “I’m angry too, but sit down! Everyone is staring at you.”
“Let them stare!” Elsie shouted, “Am I wrong? Rowan has been smirking like a villain since he walked in. He won’t stop until he’s ruined her.”
Isabelle gave a hard yank, forcing Elsie back into her seat. “Look, do you really think Rowan can outplay Sebastian? Just breathe, Between Sebastian’s resources and Lilian’s own sharp mind, there’s no way she’s walking into this blind. She’s probably three steps ahead of them.”
Elsie huffed but turned her eyes back to the screen, her jaw set.
