Chapter 59
Patrick dragged me out of the car by my arm. We were in front of an abandoned, half-finished building and a group of men stood not far away.
Patrick shoved me to the ground. “Here’s the little sister I mentioned. Not bad, right?”
The leader’s eyes lit up when he saw me.
“Good job this time,” he said.
“Brent, then I’ll leave Yaritza’s situation to you,” Patrick said in an unusually flattering tone.
“Don’t worry about it.”
From their conversation, I gathered that during the time Dustin had been in the hospital, Patrick brought Yaritza home to live with him.
The two were young and impulsive, and with Dustin hospitalized, they had been living together.
Unfortunately, they hadn’t been careful, and Yaritza was pregnant.
Patrick refused to let her abort the baby, insisting it was their child and should be
born.
However, with the SAT exam coming up, he came up with a plan to manipulate the physical exams and sought out a man called Brent Walter, who was in charge of the exam process.
As payment, Patrick offered me up to Brent, knowing what he liked,
“Brent, we’ll get going now. Enjoy your time.”
Patrick said, and the others followed him out.
However, before they could leave, a shout rang out, “Freeze!” The police had arrived!
I met Patrick’s shocked gaze and smirked, “I called the police before I even got into the car.”
To prevent the suffering from my past life, I have been wearing a tracking device and automatic alarm system every day since my rebirth.
When it came to Patrick, I couldn’t afford to be careless.
I watched as Patrick and the others were forced into the patrol car. Before getting in, he glared at me with murderous eyes and snarled, “Averie, when I get out, you’ll be the first one I kill.”
“Fine. I’ll be waiting for it.”
I would be waiting for the day when you lost everything.
Yaritza, used to being spoiled, never imagined a day like this would come. As she was about to be taken away, she began crying in panic. “Honey, what do we do? I’m so scared.”
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you, no matter what,” Patrick reassured her, ignoring the fact that he couldn’t even protect himself.
The officers were speechless about the scene.
After all, even in this situation, all Patrick should think of was protecting himself
first.
“What’s your name? What’s your relationship with Patrick?”

The officials asked me at the police station,
“My name is Averie Carroll, and I’m living in Patrick’s family as his sister, but only
in name.”
I answered before recounting the events of the day.
“All right. Given your situation, Patrick will be detained for one month as he is considered a person with limited civil capacity.”
“Of course, you can write a bail request if you want.”
“No need,” I said, shaking my head. “Let him stay in there for a month.”
In the end, Patrick was detained for a month. Not wanting Yaritza to suffer with him, he insisted she was uninvolved in the kidnapping.
As for the others, they were punished just like Patrick.
When I left the police station with Yaritza, she suddenly called out to me, “Patrick was detained because of you. Are you happy now?”
“No.”
Of course, I wasn’t happy enough. Patrick’s punishment had only just begun.
I turned back to face her and said, “You’d better think about your future and the child you’re carrying. Are you sure you want to tie your entire life to a man like him?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
