Skyler's eyes widened in surprise and waved his hand to signal Caleb not to betray him.
"I don't know where Skyler is, but there's something I want to ask. Did you hire someone to beat Shirley?"
"What? What happened? I don't know what you are talking about."
"Sofia, your affairs with Drew are private, and I have no right to interfere. However, as a police officer, I must warn you about this. By the way, I want to remind you that Shirley is a good friend of Matt's girlfriend, so don't make a mistake."
As Caleb finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, so he ended the call.
He glanced at Skyler coldly. "Handle your own affairs. You better give an explanation to Veronica."
"Roni, you mean? I don't want to."
Skyler did not dare to meet Veronica for fear of being beaten, and he couldn't resist her.
However, he noticed Caleb was unhappy, so he gave in immediately. "How about this? You ask Shirley if she's with Roni later. If they're not together, tell me. I will personally visit Shir to apologize to her."
So, they happily decided on the plan.
On the other hand, Veronica took Shirley out of the police station. First, Veronica took Shirley to the clinic to get some medicine, and then she sent Shirley home. After that, Veronica stayed with Shirley for the whole day and didn't leave until dark.
After some reassurance, Shirley was in a much better mood.
Matthew had One Piece Restaurant deliver a meal to Shirley. Looking at the sumptuous dinner, Shirley immediately felt way better.
After sending off the delivery man, someone knocked on the door.
At that, Shirley got up and walked to the door to ask, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
A familiar male voice echoed over.
