"What are you doing? Let go of me."
By the time Marcia knew it, she had been pulled several meters away. She growled unconsciously and began to struggle violently, attracting the attention of many people around her.
"Instructions from the leader, please cooperate with us."
One of the guards said casually. His voice was loud, and he meant it to the crowd. After all, this was in a bank. They got to have a reason for her. Otherwise, once they were photographed and uploaded online to say that they bullied ordinary people, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
These security guards were experienced and knew how to protect themselves.
"Who is your leader? For what?"
Although Marcia felt guilty, her words were tough. She had to act tough with all those people watching. She lived most of her life without doing anything wrong. The bank was not far from Garden Community. If the news of her arrest was transmitted back to Garden Community, how would she face others in the future?
So, she cried, "If you don't let go, I... I'm calling the police!"
"Keep yourself in line!"
The guard snorted, "You know what you did. We've already called the police, they'll be here soon, and if you're in the right, you'll have your chance to complain."
Marcia turned pale at this.
If the bank called the police, didn't that mean the bank had solid evidence that she stole the black card from Sean?
Oh, no!
Marcia really regretted it. If she had known, she would have taken the black card and confronted Sean. In the worst case, she would take Sean with her to the bank to figure it out.
What she couldn't figure out was what the black card was.
If it was just a regular membership card, even if she stole it, it wouldn't make such a fuss. Not only did they arrest her, they called the police.
Marcia shouted at the top of her lungs in panic before being dragged out of the lobby by security guards, "Matthew! Matthew!"
"Come on! Call Sean and tell him to come over here right away!"
The card was Sean's, and the only way to prove Marcia's innocence was by calling Sean over. Otherwise, when the police arrived, Marcia would have a hard time explaining all this.
After all, she knew nothing about the black card. If she said that she didn't steal or rob the card without any proof, who would believe her?
Even she wouldn't believe it herself!
And it was time for Phyllis to leave school.
Matthew waited in front of the bank for a long time, but Marcia did not come out. He was about to pick up Phyllis from school and come back for Marcia when Marcia shouted from the bank.
"What's going on?"
At the sound, Matthew knew something was wrong. He turned the wheelchair, which had already been turned, back again.
Unfortunately, he was so disabled that he couldn't even climb the steps of the bank in his wheelchair.
But he probably guessed what had happened.
That was what he was most worried about.
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Sean…
…
The southern suburbs of the city.
At Wright's Vegetable and Fruit Shop, Gemma cooked Sean's favorite dishes and Dean got bottles of gin. When Sean returned, their hearts were filled with joy and their wrinkled faces were filled with happy smiles. They looked at Sean for a long time and asked him how he was feeling.
It had been five years!
They had never been happier than they were today.
The same went for Sean.
They enjoyed the meal with relish. Sean didn't tell Dean and Gemma that he had been drafted into the army for five years, because he was afraid that they would be worried about it.
Also, Sean's identity was classified as top secret.
