Tyrone let out a disdainful snort: then let Sean breathe a bit more of the free air while he can.
Sean only saw a luxury car but failed to notice the person inside. He looked at it with envy, knowing such a vehicle couldn’t be bought for less than 10 million.
Sean was busy calculating how he could milk more money out of Quintessa. After all, she had Tyrone backing her up. If he could just dig up some more dirt on Quintessa, something to hold over her, then she’d become his personal ATM.
Sean then thought of Rachel.
Tyrone was on the phone asking if Violet had seen Quintessa. He was anxious; Emberbrook was vast, and without her phone, even asking for help in searching would take some time.
He was worried something might have happened to Quintessa in the meantime.
However, he received a call from a traffic officer, informing him that Quintessa had been pulled over for driving without a license. Both she and the car were detained at the station, and he needed to come and pay a fine to get her released.
Tyrone’s heart clenched at the news. “Is she okay? No accidents or anything, right?”
This was Tyrone’s biggest fear since distracted driving often led to accidents.
“Hey, you wishing something did happen? She hit a guardrail, but she’s fine.”
Tyrone exhaled in relief. “That’s good then. As long as she’s okay. I’ll be right there, don’t be too hard on her.”
Arriving at the station, Tyrone saw Quintessa sitting there, a forlorn figure under the stern gazes of two sun-tanned traffic officers lecturing her.
