SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
Darryl's slaps made everyone's heart skip a beat. The entire Lyndon mansion was dead silent.
At last, two police cars arrived. Megan Castello-in her uniform-led a few policemen towards the mansion. Upon entering the main hall, she grimaced at the scene in front of her.
"Freeze!" A police officer walked towards the incident.
Darryl stopped, slowly stood up, and flexed his wrist. Recognizing Darryl, Megan walked towards him.
"Who called the cops?" asked one of the officers. He flipped through his report book while scanning the surroundings.
Lily started to come to her senses and quickly offered," Me...it was me.”
"You said someone was beating up your husband? Is that man lying on the floor your husband?" the police officer pointed to the barely recognizable Trent Young on the floor, taking notes and interrogating at the same time.
"No, no, he...he's not my husband." Lily shook her head, shifted her gaze towards Darryl, and whispered, "He i s." At that, she hung her head in embarrassment, face flushed. She was unspeakably charming.
Upon hearing Lily admit that he is her husband in front of everyone, Darryl felt a sense of indescribable joy. 3
One of the officers swallowed hard, secretly sizing Darryl up, 'This man actually beat Trent to the point of not being able to defend himself?!”
At that same moment, Trent-on the floor-howled in pain, "Officer, you have to help me! This man is a lunatic!" To be beaten up in public by a live-in son-in-law, Trent could no longer hold back his grievances once the police arrived.
"Enough! Everyone, back to the station to take notes!" interjected Megan, while glaring at Trent. He immediately shut up and stared at Darryl with utter resent.
"You, stay back, take everyone’s statement", pointed Megan to an officer. She turned to Darryl and added, " Please follow us to the station."
