“You’ll find out the details at the police station, Ms. O’Neill.”
“I’m not going! I didn’t do anything wrong. Ask me whatever you need to here!”
Seeing Mabel’s agitation, the two police officers exchanged a look. One of them spoke sternly. “Ms. O’Neill, if you refuse to cooperate, we will have to use force.”

When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
