At this moment, in Savrow, Amelia stood alone in front of the police station in the east district of Savrow, gritting her teeth as she walked in.
“Young lady, are you here to report a case?” A female police officer greeted her.
Amelia nodded, asking softly, “Is Captain Ralph here?”
……
Ralph was swamped with work for two days and slept soundly in the duty room.
After hearing that Amelia was here to find him, he immediately jumped up and went to see her.
In his office, Amelia sat facing Ralph, fiddling with her fingers until her knuckles were red.
“Amelia, you suddenly came here to find me. Did something happen?” Ralph carefully observed her, but his tone was full of concern.
Ralph and Amelia had different mothers. Amelia was naturally timid and always followed behind Bella since she was a child, hidden in Bella’s shadows. Even so, Ralph never showed favoritism and treated both his sisters the same.
Whenever he returned from an overseas business trip, he would bring the same gifts for Bella and Amelia. However, as they grew older, they spent less time together. Amelia was a timid and introverted girl who would not take the initiative to contact her brothers, like Bella did. Therefore, they were not as close on the surface.
But whether it was Bella or Amelia, they were both his sisters. His level of love for them was the same.
After a long silence, Amelia slowly raised her eyes, looking into Ralph’s sharp gaze.
“Ralph, I want to come forward as a victim to testify against Charles’ sexual assault.”
Ralph’s pupils contracted. “Amelia, what did you say?”
“I want to sue Charles for sexual assault.” When Amelia said it out loud, her heart felt as if it was bleeding.
Ralph pursed his lips tightly.
He was an outstanding policeman, with enough professional investigative skills and solid mental fortitude. But when the incident happened to his family, he had to be extremely careful, even though he wanted to bring that animal, Charles, to justice more than anyone else.
“Amelia, did you tell Aunt Celeste about this? What about Bella? Does she know?”
