Chris paced outside the police station. He spotted a young police officer rushing out and quickly approached.

“Pete!”

Pete, the officer in question, greeted him warmly with a grin.

“You rascal!” Chris playfully punched him. “What’s going on? Why didn’t you let me know beforehand?”

Pete Bellamy scratched his head, still grinning.

Pete was one of the officers who had taken Lena from the Hamertons earlier. It wasn’t just Chris who was surprised—even Bianca hadn’t expected the police to show up.

Despite this, Pete and Chris had exchanged knowing glances when he left the Hamerton residence. Understanding the situation, Chris had waited for him outside the police station.

Pete lowered his voice. “Chris, don’t worry. Lena knows what to say and what not to. She’s level-headed, and there won’t be any trouble.”

“Who ordered you to bring her here?”

Pete shrugged. “Ms. Thompson, but it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Everything happened so quickly that there wasn’t time to inform you.”
