Chapter 47
“Take them to the police station.“]
“Wait…” Dorothy stopped him, looking at the blue–shirted man. “Did Sonia give you the order?“]
The blue–shirted man trembled slightly, avoiding her eyes. He dared not answer directly. “I… I can’t tell you. She has a powerful backer. I can’t afford to offend her. I’d rather go to jail!“]]
Dorothy took a deep breath. Deep down, she already had her answer.[]
Tyrell led Dorothy out of the private room.
In the hospital.
Dorothy left the emergency room, wincing at the bruise on her cheek.
Tyrell leaned against the wall and handed her a phone. “It’s yours.“]
It was the phone she’d left in the private room.]
She took it with both hands and forced a weak smile. “Thank you.“]]
Looking at her disheveled state, Tyrell sighed helplessly. “Dottie, how did you end up in that private room with those men? They’re not good people, arrested many times for harassing women.”
Dorothy was speechless. It was absurd…]
“I never expected to be set up….“]]
Tyrell went up to her and said, “This is the second time you’ve been framed. If I hadn’t shown up, what would have become of you if they succeeded?“[]
She froze, clenching her fists with determination. “A woman’s chastity isn’t bound by her skirt. Even if they succeeded, I wouldn’t kill myself.
“I would keep living and send them all to hell with my own hands.“[]
Tyrell was taken aback. After a while, he sighed. “Jamal asked me to take good care of you. If he knew what happened, he’d flay me alive.“[]
Dorothy said in surprise, “Prof. Robertson…“]
“He’s your mentor. He’s so protective that he treats you like his own granddaughter. You know that.” Tyrell thought of something and fixed his eyes on Dorothy. “Why didn’t you tell Prof. Robertson about this?“]
With the Robertson family’s status and influence, those men wouldn’t get away with this today.
Dorothy shook her head. “I don’t want to trouble him.“[]
Tyrell pondered.
She didn’t want to trouble Jamal, or…]
She didn’t know Jamal’s identity at all?]
But he didn’t press her. “Let me drive you home.“]]
“Thank you,” Dorothy said, not refusing. She couldn’t drive in this state anyway.[]
Dorothy and Tyrell came out of the hospital. A familiar black car waited at the entrance.]
