Chapter_62
Jeremiah’s presence in the police station had undoubtedly shifted the dynamics. His calm, unwavering demeanor stood in stark contrast to the chaos around them. As he entered the isolation room, the tension among the officers and Yvette’s friends was palpable, but Yvette remained as composed as ever.
Andrew and Bonnie’s shock was evident, and their confusion lingered as they tried to process Jeremiah’s entrance. When Yvette casually mentioned him, the officers’ realization came with a sudden, stammering response. A major general? It was clear they hadn’t expected someone of such rank to be connected to Yvette, and their earlier confidence crumbled.
Yvette’s effortless nonchalance only deepened the mystery of her connections. Her teasing remark to Nolan about not being the deputy mayor only added to the confusion, as the officers realized the man in front of them wasn’t just any ordinary figure — he was a person of immense power and influence. Jeremiah’s quick check of Yvette’s well-being, combined with the affection in his voice, gave a brief glimpse into their complicated relationship.
Bonnie, still shaken by the environment, finally spoke up, concern tinged in her voice. She stepped into the room cautiously, as if she didn’t quite belong there, waiting for the right moment to intervene. Yet, Yvette’s dismissive yet reassuring response eased some of her worries.
Andrew, ever dramatic, tried to play the hero, but Jeremiah’s cold glance instantly put him in his place. His attempt at levity fell flat, making Andrew realize that some things weren’t as simple as he imagined.
The group seemed to ignore the seriousness of the situation — instead, they joked and discussed trivial matters like food, as though they were just hanging out, not in the middle of an interrogation. Lachlan and Nolan, watching this from the side, were struck by the contrast between the casual chatter and the serious nature of the room. It was hard to believe that such relaxed individuals were involved in something as intense as a police investigation.
Once they left the station, Yvette’s cool indifference continued to puzzle those around her, especially Zachary. He had been hoping for a more heartfelt interaction, but Yvette’s detached response made it clear that their relationship was strained. Zachary’s regretful words hung in the air, but Yvette remained unmoved. It was evident that their past was too complicated to be fixed with just a few words.
As they walked away, Lucas, with his usual respect, conveyed Zachary’s message, but Yvette seemed unfazed. Her thoughts, however, were elsewhere — her actions reflected a growing sense of independence and self-assurance.
The black Jeep that Jeremiah drove was anything but ordinary. Yvette’s discerning eye quickly recognized the bulletproof material, a rarity even for someone in Jeremiah’s position. She noted its extraordinary quality and wondered about the deeper layers of his identity.
Inside the vehicle, the dynamic among the group was once again playful, albeit tense. Andrew and Bonnie bickered in the back seat, but Yvette, always composed, stayed absorbed in her phone, her mind elsewhere. It was clear that things were changing for her, and she was no longer the same person who had once been caught in the drama of her family’s expectations.
Bonnie, almost forgetting in her earlier anxiety, brought up Mr. Sunderland’s unexpected appearance at the police station. Yvette’s friends, still in the dark about the full extent of her connections, were left questioning her relationship with the university’s president. Andrew, ever curious, pushed for answers, but Yvette remained elusive, her tone indifferent as always.
As the night deepened, the city outside transformed into a blurry mix of neon lights and misty rain, the atmosphere calming despite the chaos of the day. Yvette’s thoughts wandered, her cold, distant demeanor suggesting that she was preparing for something far bigger than just the events of the police station. She was no longer just a student caught in a tangled web of relationships — she was someone with power, someone who could shape her own future.
And that future, as far as she was concerned, was just beginning.
