Chapter 428 With Proximity Comes Advantage

Gordon considered himself to know the minds of men. He believed that Theo would have to consider all angles and persuade Sierra to give up on calling the police.

In the end, however, Theo shook his head, adding, "There's nothing to talk about. She was mistreated. Naturally, she calls the shots on how to resolve the case."

Gordon could no longer keep his smile. Then, he said grimly, "I understand that Mrs. Gray wants to call the police and clear her name. However, the victim of the case had left. We can't call her back over something like this."

Hayley had lost the ring, which meant that she had the indisputable cause to call the police. Naturally, she had her reasons for giving up on pursuing the case, and Sierra had no intentions to stir up any trouble for her.

Gordon could tell that she wavered. Patting Lauren on the shoulder, he plastered on a smile once more and persuaded, "Let's do it this way, Mrs. Gray. I'll make Ms. Crowford apologize to you. Then, we'll call it a bad day and let sleeping dogs lie."

Lauren looked resistant. She wasn't willing to bow her head to Sierra. However, Gordon whispered, "Listen to me. Apologize to her if you don't want to get arrested."

She immediately gave up on fighting against him. Then, she cast an annoyed glance at Sierra, apologizing in an irritated tone, "I'm sorry."

Sierra looked at Lauren icily. "I don't accept your apology. From here on out, I want you to stay away from me whenever you see me. Don't get too close and stir up trouble for me again."

Lauren reddened with rage before she fled out of the hotel with misty eyes.
