Chapter 218 I Stand With People, Not With Reason
“Are you okay, sis?”
As soon as Shay got the call, he rushed over without even changing out of his attire. Dressed in a blue-sequin tuxedo, he showed up looking weary and with Casey following behind him.
The police already left her place. With an exhausted look on her face, she opened the door and let them in. “I’m okay.”
While the two cups of hot tea on the coffee table were still bubbling, she briefly told them what had happened without going into detail. She simply said that her breakup with Alexander did not go smoothly and needed police intervention when he tried to harm her.
“I’ll move in here.” Shay pulled his brows in tightly. “I don’t trust him. If he dares to step foot in here again, I will break his legs.”
“You don’t have to.” Beside him, Casey spoke in a deep voice. “Alexander is not the type to stalk. Since he’s already left, he won’t come back again. If he really wants to get back at someone, he won’t do it himself.”
“Didn’t he do this himself? Look at my sister’s neck.”
There was obvious bruising on her neck that Alexander had inflicted during the struggle. It could have been an accident or a moment when he lost control of his temper, but that was the most obvious bruise and evidence of his crime.
If Casey did not hold Shay back, Shay would have run to the police station to beat Alexander up.
“There is no need for that. I called you over because I had some other things to talk to you about.”
“What is it?”
Courtney glanced at Casey.
Ever since he came into her place, he did not see himself as an outsider. Even now, he was sitting leisurely on the couch without taking a hint.
