Chapter 526 I Am Not So Vile

“I really wanted to thank you for Janette. If not for you, I would dread to imagine what else would have happened to her,” said Alicia in earnest while she sat beside me with my hand in hers.

She spoke to me in a very cordial manner which made me frown uncomfortably. To be honest, I did not like how distant that made me feel.

“It’s something that I ought to do, so think nothing of it. With everything that had happened to her, anyone else would have been equally sympathetic. What’s more, she’s my half-sister, so there was no way I could have stood by and done nothing.”

Without evoking much emotion, I looked her straight in the eyes as I spoke.

“Regarding Janette…” said Alicia apprehensively after she saw that I was quiet for some time.

“Actually, I have something that I wanted to discuss with you all as well. As this is no trivial matter, I was wondering if you would consider filing a police report.”

My initial plan was to seek an opportunity to broach this subject with her at a later time, but since I was already here today, I thought that I should bring this up and seek their input.

“This…”

Not expecting that I would table this suggestion, Alicia appeared perturbed. It did not seem that she would be open to this course of action.

“I don’t want to go to the police!”

Just as she was at a loss for how to answer me, Janette’s shrill cry shot out from the staircase.
