Regret Came Too Late

Grace was absolutely furious and violently yanked Liam up.

"Liam, do you even know what you're doing? Do you?"

Liam's eyes instantly turned red. He scrambled to his feet and tried to run, but at that moment, a swarm of police officers burst into the private room. They showed their badges and began cuffing all the young people present. Even Grace wasn't spared simply because she was there.

She kept her eyes fixed on Liam the whole time. Even in the police van, he sat opposite her with his head lowered, not daring to look up.

Grace was calm, but her silence only made Liam more uneasy.

His palms were drenched in sweat, yet he didn't know what to say. The tension remained until the van stopped in front of the police station. They were then ordered to get out.

Each person was taken for testing. Grace was clean and quickly released, but Liam wasn't.

Looking at the room full of youngsters, Grace suddenly grabbed a broom nearby and smashed it down hard on Liam. The broom snapped from the force, startling the others, who immediately huddled in fear.

Liam didn't dare to fight back. He just curled up on the floor. "Grace, stop hitting me, stop! Please, I'm begging you!"

But seeing her brother like this didn't make her feel any better. In fact, it only made her heart ache. She didn't understand what had gone wrong. How could Liam spiral this far in just one month?
