Chapter 520 Taking The Blame

Facing the disparaging remarks of Bjorn, Zephyr calmly stood up and said, "If you invited me here just to say these things, then I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you company."

"Let your sister go. I'll take her back to Fairlake immediately," Bjorn said in a deep voice.

Zephyr paused, turning back to look at him. "That's impossible. The police handled this case as a favor to Uncle Matthew. If you want her to be released now, you'll have to personally discuss it with Uncle Matthew." "You..."

Under Bjorn's furious gaze, Zephyr pushed the door open and left.

He opened the car door and got in but didn't immediately start the car. Instead, he first called Sophia, advising her to be careful while going out. He told her not to be alone when she was working outside and to always have her assistant with her. Sophia asked curiously, "Why? What happened?"

Zephyr paused momentarily. "Isla's father has arrived in Jacaster."

"Are you worried that Isla's father might seek revenge on me?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. No one knows what he might do," Zephyr said. "It's always good to be prepared."

In the past, Isla was no stranger to bullying others, and Bjorn was never bothered by it.

However, it was different this time. This time, Isla had been punished and detained. It was possible that Bjorn might take his anger out on Sophia.

Moreover, Bjorn discovered Zephyr's relationship with Sophia and deliberately mentioned her in his presence, forcing Zephyr to become more cautious.

"I understand. I'll be careful," Sophia said and pondered. Zephyr knows Isla's family well. His warning isn't without reason. It's likely that Isla's family might take revenge, which is why Zephyr has cautioned me to be careful.

Afterward, Sophia grumbled, "This afternoon when I came back, I heard from Nora that Hattie had disappeared, and I was nearly worried sick. Later on, I found out that Hattie was taken away by her uncle without even a word of notice. This family has no manners at all... You should keep your distance from them in the future..."

Zephyr's face was a mix of emotions after he heard Sophia's words. It seems I shouldn't have taken Harrietta home, nor should I have let Harrietta use my phone to make a call. Now, I've inexplicably taken the blame for that old geezer.

Noticing the silence lingering on the other end of the line, Sophia asked, "Did you catch what I just said?"

"I heard you... However, you might have misunderstood something. I've met with Isla's brother before, and he's not like Isla. He's a very kind person."

"Oh." Sophia wasn't particularly interested in what kind of person Isla's brother was. "He didn't even bother to say anything before taking Hattie away."

"It wasn't him. It was Isla's father. He was just responsible for taking her back."
