The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 363

Dahlia's claims about Sandy's mistreatment seemed to strike a chord, which must be why she was so taken aback when Sandy denied any wrongdoing.

"Sandy didn't lie, so why accuse her?"

"Dad, he's the bad guy. You need to arrest him now."

Sandy had no interest in seeing Wesley or acknowledging anyone but Charles as her father.

Charles gave a nod to the bodyguard, "Take him to the police station."

Without hesitation, the bodyguard grabbed Wesley and began leading him out. But Evelyn quickly moved to block their way, her own bodyguards taking positions on either side, creating a tense standoff.

"Evelyn, step aside," Charles said coldly.

"Charles, I've told you, Wesley is coming with me."

"If you dare send Wesley to the police and accuse him of assault, I'll make Sandy's real parentage public, letting everyone know she's the child of a criminal," Evelyn threatened, her gaze icy.

Charles' expression turned frosty as he instinctively covered Sandy's ears, trying to shield her from Evelyn's harmful words that could scar her young mind.

"Evelyn, Sandy is innocent," he said, his voice somber and his eyes cold as ice. Evelyn shouldn't let her hatred for him and Dahlia spill over to the child.

"Oh, she's innocent, and Charlie wasn't?" Evelyn ignored the caution in Charles' eyes, her tone even colder.

time passed, Charles' defense and affection for Sandy always reminded Evelyn of the injustice and mistreatment Charlie endured at his hands. She would always feel wronged on Charlie's behalf, and it didn't sit well with her that Charles could dismiss
