Meanwhile, the local police station was overflowing with young boys and girls, even though it was


    usually calm and quiet at this hour.


    The boys were behaving as arrogantly as ever, as if they feared nothing and no one. The girls,


    however, lookedpletely different from half an hour ago. Now, they were sitting quietly in the cell


    with their heads lowered.


    One of the policemen was interrogating Jared, whose face was ck and blue.


    “Why did you start the fight?”


    Jared raised his chin and pointed at another boy. With innocent eyes, he said, “Sir, you should ask him.


    I don’t know why they hit me. I’m confused too.”


    The policeman knew how unruly these rich second generation kids could be. He banged the table and


    said in a serious tone, “If you refuse to answer, you’ll have to celebrate New Year behind bars.”


    New Year was just half a month away.


    While Jared was being questioned, Debbie was sound asleep with her head resting on Kasie’s


    shoulder. No matter who spoke to her, she kept her eyes closed. Finally, when one of the policemen


    pressed her too hard, she yelled, “Why didn’t you bring that woman here as well? She’s the one who


    started the fight!” The woman she was referring to was none other than Portia. Portia had made a


    phone call to Hayden as soon as the policemen arrived at the private booth. As a result, she hadn’t


    been taken to the police station.


    Debbie wanted to leave too, but she didn’t dare to call Carlos.


    Besides, she was still mad at him. There was no way she would call him for help.


    Anyway, she wasn’t worried about herself because she believed that


    Jared would help her out.


    Debbie’s stubbornness gave the policeman a headache. He shifted his attention to Kasie instead.


    Unfortunately for him, Kasie wasn’t a well-behaved girl either and had been brought to the police


    station before. Like Debbie, she kept insisting that she was innocent and that Portia was the one who


    had started the fight.


    The policeman knew these people were all from prominent families, so he didn’t want to waste his time


    on them anymore.

    “Just ask one of your family members toe here. You can leave after we get their signature.”


    Upon hearing that, Debbie instantly sobered up. Her eyes were red because of sleepiness. She cast a


    warning nce at Jared and firmly said, “Don’t call your brother.” If Damon found out about this, so


    would Carlos.


    Initially, Jared had been nning to call Damon. He was afraid that his father would beat him up if he


    found out about this.


    But now that Debbie was asking him not to call his brother, his mother was the only person he could


    call.


    Kasie took the telephone receiver away from Jared and said, “This is all my fault. I’ll call my dad.”


    “Don’t. It’s no big deal.” Jared snatched it back.


    While the two were arguing about who should make the call, a man walked into the station-it was


    Emmett. As soon as Debbie saw him, she grabbed her two friends and used them to shield herself


    from Emmett’s line of vision.


    Kasie recognized Emmett immediately.


    Jared, however, was too preupied with his own thoughts to notice


    Emmett. Shaken out of his thoughts by Debbie’s sudden push, he asked in a loud voice, “Tomboy, what


    are you doing?”
