Chapter 106: Self-Defense

Perhaps the fear of imprisonment gave Amber the extraordinary strength. Several officers, trying to pull her away from Elizabeth, not only failed to do so but Amber clung tighter and wailed. "Grandma, save me! I can't go to prison, I don't want to!"

Seeing Elizabeth nearly suffocated by Amber, Talon, who had been stunned up to now, suddenly slapped Amber across the face, "Your grandma is sick like this, do you want to kill her like your sister did!" Elizabeth treasured Amber, but Talon had no such patience, pretending to be angry, he accused, "It was you who deceived us! You said it was Tina who stole your credit, you're the reason the Reed family is in this mess! How dare you ask your grandma to save you!"

"Uncle Talon..." The slap stunned Amber; she had been with the Reed family for a long time, and under Elizabeth's favor, no one had ever struck her like that.

As she hesitated, the officers quickly twisted her arms behind her back, cuffed her, and dragged her away from Elizabeth.

Tina saw Elizabeth, still with eyes closed, taking deep breaths, clearly relieved from the near suffocation.

She curled her lips in mockery.

At her smile, Amber glared venomously.

As the police led Amber away from the ward, she suddenly turned to the still staggered Pinewood and shouted, "You say I'm guilty! What about Jared Farrell breaking Uncle Pinewood's hand? Doesn't that constitute intentional injury? You must also take him to the police station!"

The officers hesitated, looking at Pinewood's visibly broken hand and then at Jared with furrowed brows. If Pinewood went for an injury assessment, it indeed constituted a second-degree light injury, which could be considered an intentional injury crime.

"Yes, yes!" Pinewood also came to his senses, pointing at Jared with his unharmed hand, "He's the one who did this to my hand!"

His mind was racing. If Jared wanted to be the future head of the Farrell family, he couldn't afford a criminal record or imprisonment. If the Reed family used this incident to pressure Jared to back down, it might work.
