Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 207

Chapter 207:

Zola swiftly moved in front of Eileen, exclaiming, “The woman’s trying to attack again; stop her!”

The police, catching on late, rushed forward and restrained June on the ground. June’s long hair clung to her cheeks, dust mixing with her sweat as she protested, “This is all your fault, you—”

Before she could finish, the officers firmly subdued her, causing her to wince in pain.

“Apologies, Mr. Dawson, Miss Curtis, for the scare,” one police officer said as June was escorted away.

Zola had instinctively stepped back, her expression marked by concern. Eileen watched as June was led away. If June had the audacity to attempt violence right outside the police station, it indicated that she wouldn’t easily be unsettled by Eileen earlier at the hotel. What exactly was June trying to accomplish just now?

“Are you okay, Eileen?” Zola asked, her face reflecting genuine worry, as if they had just faced a dangerous criminal.

Eileen nodded, glancing at Zola’s protective stance. “Thank you, Miss Murray.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s getting late. You should head back and rest now.” Zola withdrew her hand and glanced at Milford, saying, “We should head back, too.”

“Let’s go.” Bryan swiftly pulled Eileen close with his arm as he moved past Zola, leading her down the steps.

Eileen felt a mix of gratitude and concern. She knew Zola had come to the police station for her sake and thought it polite to at least bid her farewell. However, as Eileen got into the car, Bryan took the driver’s seat and started the vehicle without even lowering the window to say goodbye.

Milford and Zola remained on the steps, watching as Bryan’s car drove away.

Zola stood there for a moment, the evening wind blowing her hair across her face.

“Are you not leaving?” Milford walked to the car, glanced back, and noticed Zola hadn’t moved.

“Coming,” Zola responded as she smoothed her hair back and walked to the car. She had just clicked her seatbelt when Milford’s voice made her pause, asking, “Did you know that woman?”

Zola glanced casually at him and asked, “Which woman?

You mean your tutor, Ms. Curtis?”

“No, I mean the one who was taken into custody, June,” Milford responded, his irritation evident.

Zola’s expression hardened due to his attitude, and she said, “Focus on your studies instead of spouting nonsense. Why would I know someone like her?”

With that, she started the car and drove away, her face calm as if they had just been discussing something casual.

Milford wondered if he was reading too much into it, but from his perspective, it had looked as though June had rushed straight toward Zola.
