“Are you going to bear the consequences if the criminal escapes?” Liam was a little angry.
Nina’s case had gone cold for three years. There had to be an explanation.
Furthermore, with everything that Snow had done, she could not be allowed to continue roaming free.
“I’ll take responsibility!” Stephen felt like his heart was being pierced and was bleeding endlessly. “If she’s truly guilty, I… I’ll personally cuff her.”

“Snow.”
Her body trembled when she heard Stephen’s voice. She raised her head to look at him. Why are you here? Did you finish your business in Aqua City?”

“Don’t worry, Snow. You still have me. I’ll make sure that you’re happy.‘

He had to cuff her himself.
He became the one who hurt her!
He became the person who ruined her happiness!
Clack.
The handcuffs locked into place.
Stephen almost passed out. He felt a piercing pain travel throughout his body, down to his very soul.
