Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 404

Ten minutes later, the police arrived and took Sienna away.

"Mom!" Conner was worried sick. "Sienna is not that kind of person. Reyna was the one who went looking for trouble."

Tania shot Conner an icy gaze. "You need to understand, Conner, that Reyna is your biological sister. To see her injured like this, Sienna must pay the price."

"But Mom..." Conner had a splitting headache. He could find no means at the time to convince Tania.

The first thing he did was rush to Sunshine Neighborhood. He had to tell Tara about the matter at hand. Plus, Joyce had to be coaxed if she did not see Sienna.

As Conner reached Sunshine Neighborhood and recounted the events to Tara,

the latter's heart sank. "Mr. Fischer, is Sienna... gonna be alright?"

"Rest assured." Conner nodded with a frown. "I'll find a way. I won't let anything happen to her."

"Thank you," said Tara.

"Please take good care of Joyce," Conner pleaded.

"It's my job..." stated Tara.

Conner stood up to leave. He had to get to the police station. Before he could reach the exit, Cedric showed up. Their eyes met.

Conner voiced, "You..."

Not a peep came from Cedric.

Seeing that, Tara immediately stepped forward. "Mr. Brawne, you're here."

She then introduced the gentlemen to each other. "Mr. Fischer, this is Cedric Brawne, a friend of Sienna's. Mr. Brawne, this is Conner Fischer, Sienna's brother."

Being informed of the other party's relationship with Sienna, both Conner and Cedric somehow knew the score.

"Good to see you, Conner," greeted Cedric.

"The pleasure is mine, Cedric," said Conner.

Cedric scrutinized Conner's expression before turning to Tara. "I didn't see Sienna around. Did something happen?"

"Well..." Tara sighed and looked at Conner. "Mr. Fischer, I'm not sure how to explain. Why don't you do it? Sienna and Cedric are close friends."

"Okay." Conner nodded and turned to Cedric, explaining the situation in a brief yet concise manner.

"That's what happened. I'm going to the police station now," remarked Conner.

Then came Cedric's offer. "I'll go with you."

They exchanged a look and left Sunshine Neighborhood together, making a beeline for the police station.
