Chapter 22
The police took us back to the police station.
When Sandra’s father came to pick her up, he slapped her across the face without saying a word.
“Are you crazy? We fed you well and took care of you, how could you. turn out to be such an ungrateful person. Are you only satisfied if you drag the whole family down with you?”
“If it weren’t for your sister today, you would have taken a path of no return!”
Arielle stood to the side, her eyes red as she grabbed their father’s hand.
“Dad, don’t blame Sandra. Sandra also wanted to marry into a wealthy family, that’s why she did whatever it took!”
Upon hearing this, his face darkened even more.
“Sandra! How could I have a daughter like you! I should never have adopted you in the first place.
He continued, “The Sullivan family is just a small and humble family. Being able to marry into a family like the Caillet family is already a blessing. Your sister is a blood relative of the Sullivan family, so it makes. sense for her to marry into the Caillet family. If the Caillet family were to find out that you are not a blood relative of the Sullivan family, do you think they would still accept you?”
Sandra, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly exploded.

“Dad! I have never hurt Arielle from childhood to adulthood!”
“When she was a child, she fell while learning to walk by herself, and you blamed me for pushing her. I never snatched anything she wanted. Later, she falsely accused me of pushing her into the water. Without asking any questions, you made me kneel in the rain all night and then locked me in the basement for reflection for a whole month.”
“I liked Liam, that’s the only thing I won’t let go of!”
I sat on the side, filling out the case report form.
The middle–aged male police officer on the side joked, “So melodramatic.”
He looked at me and said, “Why is she picking on you? Is it because that Liam guy likes you?”
I suddenly looked at him and spoke directly to the female police officer beside me.
“Officer, your colleague was not responsible, I want to report him.”
The middle–aged male police officer finally put away his gossiping expression and instead stood with his hands behind his back, speaking sternly and forcefully.
“What are you doing, what do you want to do? This is a police station! Not a place for you to plead your innocence.”
In the end, Sandra was just given a verbal warning and then released.
I had no family in this city, and Alicia was not old enough, so I had to call Hubert to come pick me up.
He drove to the police station, and when he picked me up, he burst into

laughter.
“Sandra seemed so innocent on the surface, but I never expected her to be so ruthless.”
While waiting for the traffic lights, he quickly realized again.
“Gabriella, be honest with me, is there something you haven’t told me?”
“Why did Sandra’s sister help you call the police? Isn’t this harming her sister? This logic doesn’t make sense.”
I suddenly froze, unsure of what to say to him.
Did Liam marry Sandra’s sister?
If I told him such a melodramatic story, he would probably laugh at me
for a month.
After thinking for a moment, I just casually replied.
“Maybe the little girl just had an overwhelming sense of justice.”
Hubert mocked all the way until I was ready to get off.
He called out to me and handed me a bottle of trauma medicine. “For the wound on your leg,” he said.
I stood still, only to realize that there was a very shallow cut on my ankle.
I took the trauma medicine and joked, “Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have noticed until it healed.”
He looked at me seriously.
“Even a small wound should be treated carefully, beware of infection.”

“Next time you encounter this kind of situation, just give me a call directly.”
Watching his receding figure, I suddenly felt tears welling up in my eyes.
In the previous life, when I was having surgery, he, who had always advocated for science, also learned to imitate the pilgrimage, and brought me a blessed medallion.
I mentioned craving Dante’s Ravioli, and he immediately ran out late at night to buy some.
Even though the store had already closed, he was scolded for half an hour before finally waking up the boss to serve me a bowl of ravioli.
It was like this with him, but I turned a blind eye to my love for him.
I selfishly enjoyed his kindness towards me, I was afraid, afraid that if I refused, I would have nothing.
I was afraid that even this last bit of warmth would disappear into nothing.
