It was the only thing Thomas could do now.
"It's fine. Just do whatever you can." Benjamin walked into the study. Before he closed the door, he instructed, "No one is allowed to disturb me without my permission."
"Okay." Thomas immediately went to the police station, while Jasmine was left alone, wailing in despair.
Yvonne, On the other hand, was furious at her current predicament. She immediately phoned Eddie and snapped fiercely, "It was you. You did it."
"What? No way." Although they were talking on the phone and couldn't see each other, Eddie raised his hand and swore, "I swear, this has nothing to do with me."
As he feared that she would not believe him, he quickly added, "Both of us planned on poisoning Lily and eliminating Bryan. So, why would I expose myself to such scrutiny? Also, aren't you always saying that I'm incapable of fighting against Hanson and Vania?"
"You'd better be telling the truth, or I swear I'll make you wish that you'd never been born," she hissed as if she wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Okay, whatever you say, Miss Kepler," Eddie replied with a mirthless smile on his face.
He didn't feel the least bit threatened by Yvonne at all, especially right at this moment. The Keplers hadn't done anything thus far, which likely meant that they were giving up on her. He didn't need to be afraid of a person whose own family had thrown away like trash.
Moreover, she had no choice but to stay with him now. She would be arrested as soon as she showed herself in public. Since he was now her safe haven, he could do as he pleased with her.
"Just you wait!" Yvonne snarled. Before Eddie could figure out what she meant, she hung up on him.
She had to return home. After all, she was utterly incapable of handling this matter herself and desperately needed her family's help at such a critical moment.
But when she sneaked out of Eddie's house, she freaked out and instinctively hid away when she saw that the street was packed with police cars. She couldn't help but assume that the police were there to arrest her.
At this moment, her phone kept buzzing with endless notifications of the latest news and messages.
Based on the news online, the police and prosecutors had filed a case against her, but no arrest could be made since they couldn't locate her. As of right now, she was a fugitive fleeing from the law, and there was a city-wide arrest waiting for her.
People usually dreamed of being damsels of distress. But no, she was now a fugitive at large.
No wonder Eddie is so arrogant that he dared to threaten me! Yvonne finally realized what was happening, and she panicked. But, to her immense dismay, the safest place for her now was Eddie's home.
Her anger turned into wrathful hate as she thought of the whole scenario. She wanted to scream at Eddie, but he was the only one capable of hiding her away. If she made a misstep, it would spell her doom. So, she smashed everything in the room to vent her frustration.
Eddie chuckled smugly when he saw her maniacal state through the surveillance screen.
Brandon also ridiculed her, "Young Master, you have put up with her for so long, and it's extremely kind of you to let her stay, yet she destroys the things in your room. Do you want me to give her a warning?"
Eddie shook his head indifferently. "Nah, just give her the chance to vent out her rage. Then, she'll feign obedience or learn to be docile when she calms down."
Brandon understood Eddie's remarks and knew that Yvonne wouldn't be living a cushy life from now on. So, he was content to ignore her.
After she had released all her pent-up frustrations, she finally called Benjamin.
"Yvonne!" Benjamin exclaimed in shock, but Jasmine snatched the phone away before he could say anything. "Yvonne, where are you? I miss you so much! I'll ask Thomas to get you home now." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jasmine was a sobbing mess, and she could only babble the same thing over and over.
An agitated Thomas swiped the phone away from Jasmine since she was only making things worse with her words.
"Don't you want Yvonne to return in one piece? Do you know how dangerous it is out there?"
