"Since when did you become so long-winded and a busybody?"

Ernest realized he had gone too far. He waved his hand slightly and said, "Fine, I was just concerned about you. Since you're so against it, I'll let it go."

After that, Ernest left, leaving Quill alone. He stood in place for a long time. Then, he walked forward.

After Vera rushed out of the police station, she walked alone along the road. She was brought to the police station in a police car, and her delivery car was still at the nightclub. She had to cover the lie she had told Mabie earlier.

Maybe she should get a cab to the nightclub and drive her delivery car home to get some fresh clothes. Then, go stay at her apartment for a couple of days.

In the state that she was in, her parents would definitely be suspicious of what happened to her, and she would have to tell them. Vera thought about it and decided that she didn't want them to worry for her. As she walked, Vera felt her leg hurt. She only realized it after leaving the police station. The pain was probably from when the men forcefully dragged her back into the room and she knocked her knee on the corner of the table.

She was in so much pain that she was on the verge of tears. With every step she took, she could feel her leg aching.

She slowed down and took out her phone, ready to hail a cab. The sound of a horn blaring came from behind her. Vera subconsciously dodged to the side. Her steps were a little shaky, and she almost fell backward.

After she steadied herself, her phone slipped from her hand and smashed onto the ground.

Vera gasped and held back the pain as best she could before she squatted down. When she saw that the screen on her phone was broken, she grew frustrated.

She was injured. Why didn't she slow down?

A pair of familiar shoes appeared in front of her. Vera was stunned at first, and then she reeled back. She recognized the pair of shoes from the police station. It belonged to Quill.

Vera raised her head. The tall figure was standing in front of bright light. His features under the shadow were deep and intriguing. It was a pity that Vera couldn't see his eyes. She didn't know what kind of gaze he had as he looked at her, but she could imagine it.

He probably felt sorry for her.
