Ten minutes later, the police arrived and took Sherilyn away.
…
“Mom!”
Galen was frantic with worry, “Sherilyn isn’t like that! It was Yuna who instigated the whole thing…”
“Galen!”
Malvina gave her son a cold stare, “You need to get your facts straight. Yuna is your sister by blood! She’s seriously hurt now, and Sherilyn has to face the consequences!” “Mom!”
Galen’s headache was pounding, yet he couldn’t find the words to persuade his mother.
He hurried to Sunset Ridge Community; he needed to inform Sophia and find a way to comfort Jenna, who would be missing her mother.
When he arrived at Sunset Ridge Community, Sophia was visibly anxious.
“Mr. Martin, will Sherilyn be alright?”
“Don’t worry.”
Galen nodded with determination, his brows furrowed, “I’ll find a way. She won’t be left to deal with this on her own.”
“Thank you.”
“And Jenna… please take good care of her.”
“Of course…”
As Galen stood to leave, he still needed to rush to the police station. Before he could leave, Edgar Ferguson arrived.
The two exchanged glances.
“You?”
Seeing this, Sophia quickly intervened, “Mr. Ferguson, you’re here? This is Mr. Martin, Galen, Sherilyn’s brother-Mr. Martin, this is Edgar Ferguson, a close friend of Sherilyn’s.” Friend?
Brother?
Galen and Edgar processed this information, both getting a clearer picture of the situation.
“Nice to meet you, Galen.”
“Likewise, Edgar.”
Edgar, noticing Galen’s anxious expression and then looking at Sophia, asked, “Sherilyn isn’t here? Has something happened?”
“Ah…” Sophia sighed, turning to Galen, “Mr. Martin, I can’t explain it well. Please, tell him. Sherilyn and Edgar are very close.” “Alright.”
Galen nodded, turning to Edgar to briefly but clearly explain the situation.
“That’s what happened… I’m heading to the police station now.”
“I’m coming with you!”
After exchanging a look, they both left Sunset Ridge Community, heading for the police station.
On the way, Edgar contacted Yates Elliott.
“Bro, can you reach out to Edwin Morris for me?”
“Why Edwin?”
Edwin Morris was known as the top lawyer in Sunhaven, unbeaten and highly sought after.
But he wasn’t easy to engage.
For Edgar, pulling strings might not be enough.
“Bro, Sherilyn’s in trouble!”
“What?”
On the other end, Yates, phone in hand, glanced at Gilbert Johnson beside him.
As usual, Yates and Gilbert, along with a few others, were gathered together.
Hearing Edgar’s news, “Hang on a sec…”
He then put the phone on speaker, “Go on, Edgar.”
After Edgar explained the situation over the phone, he pleaded,
We need Edwin Mo Bromet
the case.”
Considering it was for Sherilyn, of course would seek the best,
lawyer to ensure a solid defen
“I’ll see what I can do.”
After hanging up, Yates looked at Gilbert. “Should I approach Edwin Morris, or will you?”
Given their relationship, Edwin
Morris had even handled Get
divorce-a minor matter for
someone of his stature.
Gilbert, already looking stern, cleared his throat, “I’ll call him.”
With that, he stood up, dialed Edwin Morris’s number, and began, “Hey, it’s me…”
After the call, he looked at Yates.
“He’s heading to the police station now to meet Edgar.”
“Good.” Yates nodded, picking up his phone again, “I’ll let Edgar know…”
After sorting everything out, the atmosphere in the room shifted subtly.
Yates and Derek Brooks exchanged glances, then both looked at Gilbert.
Gilbert, swirling his drink in hand, sipped it casually, his demeanor cool and composed.
