"Don't worry."
Sean swore that he would protect Nikki this time.
"Even if the cops are here, we have nothing to fear since we didn't do it, so..."
Before Sean could even finish his sentence, the cops approached them and showed Nikki their
identification badge.
'"Ms.Wheeler, we have evidence t o prove that you've committed the crime of a murder attempt on
Ms.Bonnie Craig, as well as raping Mr.I Terry Simmons.We're authorized to arrest you.Please
cooperate with us."
Sean was flabbergasted to have heard this.
He paused and looked at the cops incredulously and subconsciously stood before them, shielding
Nikki.
'"H —Have you made a mistake?"
Nikki was the victim, was she not? It was Jim who had hurt Nikki, and Terry was the one who had
stolen Nikki's innocence, no? Why was the police saying otherwise?
"Sir, without proper and solid evidence, we wouldn't arrest anyone," answered one officer sternly.
"If you're the relevant party, then we're allowed to show you the evidence.Otherwise, please do not
interfere with our job."
Sean was dazed right that very second.
From the looks of it, the cops must have obtained solid evidence already.
However...
"I'm innocent!" Tears started falling from Nikki's eyes.
"You...Jim Landry must've bribed all of you, and “Jim sneered.
"Bribe? Nikki Wheeler, I assumed that you must've watched too many movies.Do you know you're
committing another crime by saying so?"
Jim's overwhelming aura silenced Nikki entirely.
"Arrest her!"
The cops did not bother when Nikki kept on insisting on her innocence and took her away
immediately.Sean was rooted on the spot as he watched Nikki being taken away helplessly.His eyes
were full of despair and sorrow.
Seconds later, fury overtook his gaze as he glared at Jim.
"Don't think you can toy with us just because you have power and money!"
‘He's not worthy to be my brother! I refuse to believe that Jim had provided evidence to the law
enforcement to prove that Nikki had done it.This was done in exchange for his power money!' seethed
Sean internally.
"I do have the power and money."
Jim looked at Sean apathetically.
"But, that doesn't mean that I can tolerate being slandered and humiliated by any of you.”
With an indifferent expression, Jim added, his tone dripping with disdain, ''Too impulsive and
emotional.How could a person like you be my mother's son and my brother?"
Sean's fists balled tightly.
"I dare you to say it again!"
"No matter how many times I say it, it's still the truth.”
Jim thus turned, intending to return to Bonnie's ward.
Looking at Jim's back, Sean could no longer restrain himself and lunged forward, swinging his fist and
"Do you want to get hit again?" Jim caught Sean's fist steadily.
His lips twisted into a sardonic smile.
"You're no match for me, Sean Wheeler.You should've known this from the start."
Sean's eyes widened in rage as he snapped, "Jim Landry!"
Out of the blue...
"Stop it!" came a female voice, shouting across the hallway.
