A Rose 285


    The screamsing from the interrogation room grew more and more agonizing, which only


    delighted Serena.


    The thought of Yvette suffering made her feel Incredibly satisfied.


    “Uncle Tom, go tell the people in there not to go easy on Yvette. Have them continue to torture that


    bitch-


    Before she could finish her sentence, the door was kicked open with a loud bang, startling her.


    Reacting. quickly, she shouted in anger, “Who dares to cause amotion in the police station?”


    “It’s me!” Jake stormed in with a sullen face and a wild attitude.


    Serena and Tom scrutinized him from head to toe. They didn’t recognize him as a member of any


    prominent family, so their expressions quickly shifted to one of disdain.


    “How dare you cause trouble at the police station? Are you looking to be thrown in jail? I’ll make


    sure you get what you deserve! What are you waiting for? Arrest this thug now!”


    “I dare you!” The chief inspector, Killian Whitfield, stepped out from behind Jake with a stern face.

    “Chief Whitfield?” Tom eximed in shock. “What brings you back? I thought you had business in


    the neighboring city.”


    “You have the nerve to ask?” Killian’s face was dark with anger. “This is all your fault!”


    “My fault?” Tom was baffled. “What do you mean, Chief Whitfield?”


    “Let me ask you. Who did you arrest today?


    Seeing Killian’s furious expression, Tom no longer dared to say anything reckless. He answered


    nervously, “I just arrested a misbehaving, morally corrupt college student. It’s nothing to make such


    a fuss-”


    Before he could finish, Killian interrupted, “Did you even investigate? How can you just arrest


    anyone at random?”


    Tom was stunned. Only then did he realize the emblem on Jake’s clothes and was jolted back to


    full


    awareness.


    That was the emblem of the Dark Organization. Could Yvette be connected to the Dark


    Organization?


    Before he could think further, the door was kicked open again, and Nancy stormed in, fuming.


    “I heard you’ve detained Yvie! It’s that true?”


    Tom recognized her immediately. Hearing her call Yvette by such an endearing name, he was even


    more frightened.


    The Smith family was a prominent family in Jubilife, not something a small family like the Suttons


    could offend.


    With both Dark Organization and the Smith family involved for Yvette’s sake, Tom couldn’t help but


    wonder who Yvette truly was.


    Not only was Tom dumbfounded, but Serena was so scared she couldn’t even speak.


    Just then, another scream echoed from the interrogation room. Jake’s and Nancy’s expressions


    changed dramatically, and their eyes turned sharply toward Tom and Serena.


    “You’ve locked her up?” Jake and Nancy asked at the same time.


    Trembling, Tom and Serena nodded cautiously.
