    The steel chain was thick. The officer took a while to cut it off.


    The moment she was free, Larissa felt immensely relieved.


    She thanked the officer and scrambled downstairs.


    Freddy was already taken away by the first officer. Only Lewis was left.


    He was staring off into space with an unpleasant expression on his face.


    “Lewis? Larissa waved her hand in front of him.


    He snapped back to reality and looked down at her legs.


    “All good?” he asked.


    “All good.” She jumped around happily.


    “Let’s go to the police station.” Lewis began pulling her downstairs. “We need to make a report. And


    Marilyn His gaze tumed cold.”


    There’s no escape for her.”


    When he mentioned Marilyn, Larissa’s heart sank.


    “It’s all because of you!” She elbowed him andined. “If it weren’t for your charisma, I wouldn’t


    have been kidnapped.”


    “Me?” Lewis raised an eyebrow and retorted. “If you’d revealed your identity in the first ce and let


    everyone know that you were my cousin, none of this would have happened.


    “Also,” he pointed at Allen in the police car on the opposite road. “That monster has nothing to do with


    me. It’s all you.”


    Larissa looked at where he pointed and met Allen’s gaze.


    He was staring right at her. His dark stare was enough to give anyone the chills.


    Larissa locked away quickly.


    Lewis followed the police car from behind. He was going with Larissa to file the police report.


    “He has an aplice.” Larissa mentioned Marilyn’s name sed a gun to threaten me, and took me to


    Allen’s house.”


    “She


    But Allen refused to admit that he had conspired with Marilyn. He did not even admit that this was a


    kidnapping incident.


    He insisted that he and Larissa were just quarreling and that Larissa had gone to his house willingly.


    Once the officers brought Marilyn in, she insisted on her innocence just like Allen.

    “I did invite Larissa out to fix the bracelet. But she said she wanted to take a detour hallway and wanted


    me to drive her there. She said


    she’d meet me some other day.”


    Because only Larissa had been present in the car with her, the officers had no idea who to believe.


    They were both saying different things.


    Once he heard that Marilyn was refusing to admit her part in the crime, Lewis took out his phone.


    “I have evidence.” He yed a recording. It was the entire conversation that Larissa and Marilyn had


    had in the car.


    Lewis had been worried about something happening to Larissa. Before she headed out. Lewis gave


    her another phone and got her to hide it in her bag so that no one would notice it.


    This phone was on a call with him the entire time. He’d arranged for it to record everything.


    The officers made a copy of the recording and brought it into the interrogation room for Marilyn to listen


    to.


    Marilyn had not expected that Lewis would do such a thing. After her initial shock, she lunged toward


    the phone, wanting to destroy it.


    “This is fake! They made it up! I never said such things! It’s not me!”


    The police naturally did not believe her.

    Once they left the station. Lewis said, “Marilyn and Allen nned a kidnapping together. On top of that,


    Allen is charged with child abuse. They’re probably going to be sent to prison for a few years.”


    “Are Freddy’s wounds serious?” While in the attic, Larissa had heard the conversation between Freddy


    and the police officer. She knew that there were many wounds on him,


    Lewis nodded wordlessly. Then, through gritted teeth, he said, “His dad is a beast. No, he’s even worse


    than a beast.”


    Even il beasts were savage, they would never harm their own children.
