“You’ll know what’s going on soon enough.” Sonia smirked.

A while later, footsteps could be heard coming from the elevator. Within a few seconds, four uniformed security guards arrived before the three of them. Tyler realized things had gotten out of hand with the turn of events. As he scanned his surroundings, he backed out of the space to make a call on his phone.

Sonia knew who he was calling when she noted his reaction, but she didn’t stop him. Instead, she explained the situation to the security guards while pointing at Jean. “She was banging on my door early in the morning with a nasty attitude, posing a threat to my personal safety. Other than that, she even smashed my phone, which constitutes property damage. I want her detained and sent off to the police station.”

Upon hearing that, Jean began hurling insults at Sonia. “How dare you filthy b*tch—”

“She even continues insulting me at this moment. I demand that you seize her immediately!” Sonia cut Jean off.

“Yes, Miss Reed.” The security guards took their orders to seize Jean and dragged her toward the elevator.

“Mom!” At a loss, Tyler looked at his phone, which had yet to be connected to the recipient, and then to his mother, who was being taken away by the security guards.

At the same time, Jean couldn’t escape the death grip of the security guards, so she could only turn her head around to glare at Sonia viciously while throwing around various profanities. Sonia could hardly imagine that a rich woman was capable of such vulgar words. Ding. The elevator doors closed with a chime. Finally, Jean’s yelling vanished from the corridor.

On the other hand, Tyler hung up the unanswered call as he glowered at Sonia. “Why did you do that?”

“What have I done?” Sonia lulled as she leaned against the door frame.

Tyler gripped his phone tightly. “You had the security guards take my mother away.”

“Didn’t she bring that upon herself though?” Sonia crossed her arms. “As I mentioned, your mother’s actions threatened my personal safety. That alone suffices as a reason for me to summon the security guards to take her away, even more so when she crossed the line further by smashing my phone and insulting me.”

Then, Sonia pointed at Tyler’s ears. “You heard how she insulted me with vile words. Is it wrong that I want her arrested? You would’ve done the same if you were in my shoes.”
