Chapter 287 Elizabeth listened intently, distilling the crucial details from the long-winded tale.

Scarlett had crashed into Elijahs car, sparking a heated argument that had escalated to them both being detained at the police station.

The womans voice cracked, her words soaked in distress.

Elizabeth, Im begging you, dont let your husband throw my daughter into jail! Relax, its not severe enough to warrant any jail time.

It sounds like a simple misunderstanding.

Im on my way, Elizabeth assured her, ending the call.

The schoolyard was eerily silent, punctuated only by the loud conversation Elizabeth had just had, which Daxton, standing not too far away, had inadvertently caught most of.

He swung the passenger door open once more and urged, Hop in.

The station is far off, you wont make it by foot.

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, knowing another refusal could suggest she had a problem with him.

Finally, she nodded, pocketed her phone, and climbed into the car.

Upon reaching the police station, as Elizabeth and Daxton approached, Oliver was posted at the front, starting to greet her.

Mrs.

Norris… But his words trailed off as his gaze shifted to Daxton, filling with wary suspicion.

Elizabeth noticed and quickly explained, I bumped into an old friend at the school who offered me a lift here.

Olivers unease remained palpable, his voice dripping with skepticism.

Mr.

Garcia went to Esterhall High School? Elizabeth, barely containing her annoyance, finally let it erupt.

Oliver, are you questioning me? Daxton had his own intentions visiting the school.

Must I narrate every tiny detail about what my acquaintances do to you? Oliver, quick to adapt, bowed his head in apology.

I apologize, Mrs.

Norris.
