Chapter 2201


    Baron chuckled lightly, "No need to fish for information from me. After all, I''ve served a few years in the military; I''m not that naive. This matter has


    nothing to do with me. I just happen to know a couple of folks at the police station and got wind of it, that''s all."


    Sylvia retorted, "The police car hasn''t even reached the station yet? Mr. Barlow, your contacts are indeed quick to report!"


    "We''re both smart here, so I''ll cut to the chase. I''ve taken a liking to you!" Baron dered boldly, “Spend a night with me, and I''ll pull some strings to


    make sure Gabriel gets an easier time inside. How about it?”


    Sylvia''s voice dripped with disgust, "In your dreams! I feel sick just looking at you!"


    Baron''s tone turned icy, “Sylvia, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. ying the high and mighty card now, are we?"


    Sylvia took a deep breath, "Baron, you''ll regret this!"


    Baron scoffed, "Not bailing out Gabriel is what you''ll regret! He''s up for manughter. If charged, he’s looking at years behind bars. Don’t you want to


    save him? Just one night with me, and I can make the charges disappear. How''s that for a deal?”


    Sylvia shot back, "Were you also the result of a transaction between your parents?"


    Enraged, Baron snapped, “Sylvia, you—"


    Sylvia abruptly ended the call


    Soon after, a message came through, [Sylvia, I''m giving you time to think. Come find me by evening, and I''ll let Gabriel go. Otherwise, brace yourself


    for visiting hours!]


    Sylvia blocked Baron''s number, sitting back in her chair, her face as serene and cold as a marble statue.


    At the Police Station


    With several injured and one rushed to the hospital due to excessive bleeding, the station was abuzz, thinking a major case hadnded on their

    Meanwhile, Gabriel sat in the interrogation room, enjoying a moment of peace.


    His phone rang, and he saw it was Audrey on the line, her voice tinged with urgency. "I heard from Shirley you''re locked up for assault. Which station


    are you at? I''ming.”


    Gabriel didn''t question how Shirley knew, simply responding, "No need.”


    Audrey, worried, pressed, "Do you


    realize you could be charged with=


    intentional homicide? Because of


    Sylvia, Baron won''t let you off easy."


    Gabriel''s tone was cool, "How do you know?"


    Caught off-guard, Audrey quickly


    said, "Shirley told me. Let''s not focus


    on that. What''s important is getting


    you. Out. My dad has some pull with


    the chief. I can work something out."


    Gabriel remained silent.


    Audrey continued, "Of course, there''s a condition. Break up with Sylvia and be with me.”


    ‘Choose anything - money, status.


    Even marfiage is on the table. I cari


    persuade my dad. He only hasurie


    for adaughter, and his business will


    be. Ours." Content belongs.t to

    Gabriel''s voice was indifferent. “Audrey, ever wonder why I never liked you?"


    Curious and a bit hopeful, Audrey asked, "Why?"


    "Because," Gabriel said slowly, "you''re only suited for someone like Baron.”


    Stunned and then angry, Audrey retorted, "And Sylvia? She''s not even worthy of Baron!"


    "No!" Gabriel''s tone softened, "She''s a thousand times more noble than you!"


    Furious, Audrey warned, "Gabriel, you''ll regret this!"


    Gabriel ended the call.


    Only then did he see Sylvia''s message. "I want to kill him!”


    The usually calm and collected "kitten" had shown her ws!


    Gabriel smiled slightly, texting back, "Stay calm. wait for me."


    After a while, Sylvia replied,


    "Okay."
