The vase had hit Julius’s back, and judging by the way he was walking, the injury was likely severe. Yvonne's head was also bleeding. Janina smirked.
“I’m calling the police now to report you for attempted murder!”
Right there in front of Julius, Janina dialed the police and formally reported Elena and Julius for attempted murder.
Julius trembled with rage. He was becoming more and more convinced that Janina was mentally unstable.
The police arrived quickly. Julius was cooperative; he was confident that neither he nor his mother had done anything to harm the children. So, he willingly got into the police car to go to the station for questioning. As the one who filed the report, Janina went with them.
Meanwhile, when Elena saw two uniformed police officers at her door, she was completely bewildered. One of them stepped forward and asked sternly, “Is Mrs. Elena Aurelius home?”
Elena’s vision went dark, and she nearly collapsed. Why were the police looking for her?
Her mind raced. She hadn’t broken any laws! The most she ever did was play cards with her friends, but the stakes were never high. In Clayborne City, everyone from the young to the old played cards; it was normal entertainment. Were the police going to start regulating that too?
Despite being a wealthy socialite used to getting her way, she couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear in the presence of the police. It was like being a student caught by the teacher, that feeling of having been caught doing something wrong.
An inexplicable panic seized Elena. The police only came to your door if you were in trouble. Who among the innocent ever got a visit from the cops? The thought made Elena even more afraid to speak.
