The police had no intention of letting Matheo escape; they moved swiftly and efficiently, hot on his heels.
Compared to these well–trained officers, Matheo’s attempt at fleeing was laughable–child’s play.
Within moments, they caught up to him and pinned him to the ground. His face pressed against the cold floor, twisted in a mix of rage and unwillingness.
His arms were forced behind his back and slapped with handcuffs.
Just like that, Matheo was taken away by the police.
Emily and Julia stood frozen, still reeling from the shock. They remained rooted in place.
It took nearly half a minute before they finally snapped back to reality.
Emily grabbed her daughter’s wrist and bowed slightly toward the Ginger brothers. “Sorry to disturb you; we’ll take our leave now…”
Without Matheo, Emily had no leverage to go up against the Ginger family;
She wouldn’t even know how she died.
All she could do now was pray the Ginger family wouldn’t hold a grudge against her or Julia. After speaking, she pulled her daughter along, trying to leave-
“Hold on.”
Easton’s cold voice cut through the air, stopping the mother and daughter in their tracks.
Emily and Julia froze like startled birds; their faces went pale in an instant.
“Julia, what’s the rush?” Easton’s gaze darkened, his voice low and cold. In that moment, he looked like a demon–every word soaked in blood and threat. Julia couldn’t stop herself from trembling.
She turned to face him, eyes brimming with tears as she dropped to her knees without hesitation. “Easton, it was my fault before; please, show some mercy.”
“Mercy?” Easton narrowed his eyes, his tone dripping with mockery. “You almost ruined my entire career, and you still have the nerve to ask for forgiveness?”
He let out a cold laugh. “Honestly, I’d almost forgotten about you. I’ve got better things to do. If you’d kept hiding like a coward and never shown your face again, I wouldn’t have bothered with you. But now–you’ve marched right under my nose…”
“I didn’t…” Julia was pale with fear; her palms were soaked with cold sweat. “I didn’t even want to come…”
Emily, seeing her daughter so terrified, instinctively pulled Julia behind her in a protective gesture. “Mr. Easton, if there’s a problem… please come at me instead. Julia’s just a child…”
Easton turned his head slightly and swept a cold, piercing look over her. “Don’t worry, you’re not getting away either.”
That one glance sent a chill straight to Emily’s scalp.

She bit her lip without thinking, unable to say a single word.

Easton looked back at Julia. “Aside from the crap you pulled before, your relationship with Matheo disgusts
me too.”
“I heard you weren’t doing too well mentally after the last time I dealt with you?” Easton suddenly curled his lips into a smile; it was enough to make someone’s blood run cold.
Julia instinctively nodded–then quickly shook her head.
“In that case, how about I send you to a specialized treatment facility overseas?”
The terror in Julia’s eyes flared; she took a step back on instinct, her pupils shaking.
“I don’t want to…”
Who knew what would happen if she ended up there?
Easton didn’t have good intentions. If she got locked away in one of those places, her life would be over.
Emily was just as terrified; she couldn’t stop trembling. In the next second, she dropped to her knees with a loud thud.
“Mr. Easton, please… I’m begging you, let Julia go…”
As she pleaded, tears gushed from her eyes, and her voice caught in her throat, laced with sobs.
“Why are you begging for her?” Easton’s gaze was as cold as ice as he looked down at her. “I told you, you’re not getting away either. If your daughter’s going abroad for treatment, of course you’ll be going with her.”
Emily’s face froze, her whole body turning rigid like a lifeless statue; despair filled her eyes.
“Stop acting innocent. You’re the one who deserves to rot the most–knowing full well Matheo had a family, and still shamelessly keeping up that filthy affair, even having a child you shouldn’t have had…”
Easton’s sharp tongue tore into Emily without mercy.
Jean had been silently watching the scene when, all of a sudden, her phone rang.
She glanced down at the screen, her brows knitting slightly.
Of all people… it’s him…
Without hesitation, she hit the decline button. Now wasn’t the time to take
any
calls.
But right after she hung up, a text popped in.
Jean gave the message a quick glance; her eyes flickered briefly before she shoved the phone back in her pocket, as if nothing had happened.
