The Adams chose not to directly intervene because it involved other people’s family affairs. Therefore, Ericko decided to call the police. Subsequently, both Vanessa and Gerald were taken to the police station. for mediation and investigation.

Subconsciously, she looked at the gentle but somewhat distant man beside her, her throat tightening. She gently curled her fingers, which hung at her side, and said, “Mr. Adam, it’s not necessary. I have plans with friends.”
