The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 124

"Who stirred up trouble this time?"

No one had a clue what was going on.

Meanwhile, Cindy and Mae were in the classroom, oblivious to the unfolding drama.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

A police officer entered, flashing his badge to the teacher before stating, "We're officers from the Echo City precinct. Which of you are Cindy and Mae?"

Called out, Cindy and Mae stood, bewildered.

"That's us."

Upon seeing them, the officer commanded, "Take them."

"What! On what grounds are you arresting us?"

Cindy turned all white as the cop came up and said, "Cindy, Mae, you're being accused of spreading nasty rumors and trashing Ms. Freya Dawson's reputation. We're doing our job. Please come with us."

Their faces dropped at the news.

Freya went to the police! But Kieran had stood up for them this morning! Had Freya lost her mind?!

Cindy protested, "It’s been a misunderstanding! Eloise, tell them! It's a misunderstanding!"

"Yeah, Ellie, you know this has nothing to do with us!"
