ra sobbed softly, tugging at Sergio''s sleeve. "Sergio, It''s all my fault for not closing the door properly Don''t me Mr. Hackett. If we involve the police, I''ll be too ashamed to face anyone." ra''s tears flowed heavily as she spoke.


    Seeing ra''s act, Sheldon was itching to step forward and take action. However, Maeve restrained his wrist, shaking her head.


    Sergio only felt heartache for ra. He nced coldly at Maeve and Sheldon. "Why? Do you want to make this matter public?"


    "ording to ra, Sheldon merely barged in and didn''t do anything to her. Calling the police is just about rifying this matter. With both parties sticking to their own stories, it''s obvious that one side is lying." Maeve remarked.


    Maeve''s gaze shifted toward ra with a hint of mockery "Could it be that someone is afraid, so they dare not involve the police?"
