Sadie was startled and stopped in her tracks to listen more carefully. Indeed, there were cries for help.
She looked around and spotted a leg protruding from a pile of trash not far away.
Frantically, she turned on her phone''s shlight and carefully approached, pushing aside the garbage. To her horror, it was Leah Leah White... Leah Leah Whitey naked, covered in blood, barely alive among the trash, summoning herst bit of strength to cry out, "Save me, save me..." The sight was shockingly gruesome.
Shaking all over with fear, Sadie fumbled with her trembling hands to dial for help.
Police and an ambnce arrived quickly.
As an eyewitness, Sadie was taken to the police station, where she told the officers the entire incident without omitting any details.
After giving her statement, Sadie asked about Leahinquired about the victim. "How is she?"
"You mean the victim?" Tthe officer sighed., "The hospital reported she was assaulted by seven individuals. She''s sustained severe physical injuries and is showing signs of mental trauma..."
"What?!??" Sadie was utterly shocked and, in a flurry of emotion, asked, "How could this happen? I clearly saw Vincent trying to help her. Why would..."
"We''ve made contact with this Vincent you mentioned. He ims he did intervene and had Ms. WhiteLeah released. He''s just as puzzled as we are about what happened afterward."
"Aren''t there cameras in the parking lot? Who did this?"
"There are cameras, but the area where it happened is a blind spot. Nothing was captured. With Vincent''s help, we''ve located the bodyguards you mentioned, but they all have alibis proving they were elsewhere after releasing her.""There are cameras, but the area where it happened is a blind spot.

"So, it wasn''t the bodyguards? Who was it, then?"
"WeThe police are investigating."
After givipleting her statement and leaving the police station, Sadie was walking out in a daze when she encountered RonanRonan Potter at the entrance.
Their eyes met, both filled withplex emotions.
"Get in," Ronan Ronan Potter said as he personally opened the door. "I''ll drive you home."
"No need."
Sadie no longer felt the affection she once had for him; she was now full of wariness and caution.
"Alright.," Ronan Ronan Potter didn''t persist as gently and patiently as he had in the past. He simply said, "Get in and let''s talk for a bit. It''s just outside the police station.; Yyou don''t have to be afraid." After a moment of hesitation, Sadie got into the car.
"I need to exin something," Ronan Ronan Potter began., "Even though I''m divorced from LeahLeah White and I truly despise what she''s done, I would never do something so spiteful, nor would I order my people tomit any
crimes."
"Miss Roth, I did indeed stop those people," Vincent exined urgently. "I wanted to take Ms. White... home, but she was cursing and refused my kindness. You know how temperamental she can be. There was nothing I could do but let her leave on her own."
He then let out a deep sigh., "Ah, if I had known something like this would happen, no matter how much she insulted or hit me, I would have made sure she got home safely."
"These are matters you should discuss with the police, no need to exin to me," Sadie replied indifferently. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll be going."
As she was about to push open the car door to leave, Ronan Ronan Potter suddenly grabbed her hand., "Sadie..."
Sadie immediately withdrew her hand and stepped back cautiously., "Is there anything else?"
"Have you been working part-time at thate event-nningetiquettepany?" RonanRonan Potter asked gently. "If you''re facing any difficulties in life, I can—..."
"I''m living just fine, no difficulties," Sadie cut him off.
"Why are you so cold to me?" Ronan Ronan Potter frowned, looking at her. "Micah is about to get engaged to Amelia. You should see his true colors by now. I am the only one who has stayed true to you!"
