Chapter 57
My brain was tried after the test. Now that 1 thought about it, it was odd that someone from the police department would contact me. Confused but curious, I decided to go. At the station, I was surprised to see a group of people I disliked.
“Mr. Blake claims to have uncovered the truth behind the false accusations against you. According to him, Ms. Harper and Mr. Payne are the masterminds behind it,” the officer began, gestuming toward Julian.
Thrownell, shooting an awary look. “What are you trying to pull this time?!
*Serena, I’ve investigated everything. Kevin doctored the video on Elena’s orders. I didn’t have anything to do with it” Julian said quickly, stepping forward to explain Icrossed my arms and looked at the three.
Elena’s face was pale as a sheet. “L. You said you forgave me back then, Serena I didn’t know Kevin had someone secretly record the video to use against you.‘ ”
The entire scene felt like a ridiculous farce. I couldn’t help but scoff as I watched
“Ms. Ashford, how would you like to proceed?” the officer asked, tuming to me.
Iglanced at the three of them
Julian looked hopeful and desperate, as if solving this would win me back. Elena was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear and regret
Kevin, however, placed at me with cold malice. “I knew you were Alex’s sister long before Elena ever approached me.”
A chill man down my spine. Poor Elma. She thought she had hired Kevin as a pawn, but she’d been the real pawn all along.
I paid out my phone. “Thave video evidence of Kevin stalking me. I want him prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Kevin inmediately dropped his menacing demeanor. He even looked panicked.
As for the others..” I glanced at Julian and Elena “I won’t pursue charges. I have no interest in dragging this out any further After stating my decision, I left the station. Julian followed me with determination.
He blocked
d my path and begged, “Serena, please, let’s get back together”
“Not happening. I’ve made myself very clear–I’m not getting back together with you,” I replied, narrowing my eyes
Elena appeared behind him, her eyes brimming with tears as she approached me. “Serena, are you satisfied now?”
I stared at her, bewildered “Satisfied with what?”
“Now, Julian belongs to you alone! Isn’t this exactly what you want?” she cried, wiping away her tears.
I gave her a confused glare. “Just because you value something doesn’t mean everyone else does. I’m letting this go, but I suggest you get your life together and stay out of mine.”
1 tamed to leave, but pullan trailed after me like a relentlessly
“Serena! Serend
“And you! I’ll call Alex if you don’t stop following me!” I snapped at Julian
The tread worked juba frece in his tracks, looking frustrated and defeated.
Then, I left without another word.
“Didn’t you have a test today? Why are you back so late? Your food’s getting cold” Lila stulted the takeout she had bought for me into my hands.
“I went to the police station after the test,” I explained, taking the food “Turns out that video was Kevin’s doing, Julian tracked down Elena and Revin and handed them over to the police.
