In Solana City, Tatiana stood alone outside the East Solana Police Bureau. She gritted her teeth and

walked in.

"Are you here to make a report, miss?" asked a female officer.

Tatiana nodded vigorously. She asked softly, "May I know if Cyrus... I mean, Chief Cyrus is around?"

her.

In the office, Tatiana and Cyrus sat facing each other. She interlocked her fingers and rubbed them

together until her knuckles turned red.

Cyrus studied her carefully. He asked in a concerned voice, "You showed up unannounced. Did

something happen, Taty?"

Tatiana was tender-hearted and timid. She had always been overshadowed by Alyssa ever since she

was a child.

time he went on a work trip and came back with presents, he would give the same to both Alyssa and
