Chapter 107 Fired
Penelope wasn't very tall, but the badge on her chest gave her an undeniable air of authority, like she was ready to confront any injustice that dared to cross her path. Leonard scowled, releasing my arm. "Officer, I just wanted to talk to her."
"Talk about what? Because from where I'm standing, it looks more like you're about to escalate a domestic dispute."
Emma and I exchanged glances, both of us finding Penelope's fierce stance strangely comforting.
Leonard stepped closer, irritation radiating off him. "Officer, is the police really going to interfere with a simple conversation between a husband and wife?"
"Your wife? Oh, I almost forgot! I thought Ms. Jane, the one you were seen hugging at the police station, was your wife!"
Her voice rang out, loud enough to draw the attention of nearby shoppers. It was as if she hadn't noticed the audience, raising her voice just a touch more.
"How come I never see you standing up for her at the police station? Now you want to have a chat? A talk about divorce, maybe? Or are you trying to prove her innocence? The cyber police can spot that video as a fake in an instant-don't tell me the tech team at Harmon Group can't do the same?"
Maybe Penelope was just a cynical little cop, but right now, she was sparking with energy, like a firecracker ready to go off.
Leonard stood there, momentarily dumbfounded, clearly unprepared for her sharp inquiries.
"Officer Crowe, is there something you need?" I quickly pulled Penelope aside, desperate to ease the mounting tension.
She shot me a confused glance. "Aren't you going to report what's happening online?"
"Harmon Group has already filed a report, haven't they?"
Penelope leveled a cold stare at Leonard, her expression saying what words couldn't. So, he hadn't actually called the police; he'd only sent a lawyer's letter? Was that just for appearances, a way to soothe public outrage?
