After Latham finished speaking, he turned around and left with a sour look on his face.
Once he was out of sight, the police station erupted.
"Remember when he first came here, he was already Hilaria's cast-off, who respected him? We've been bullied and bribed into helping him so many times. Now he even dares to cause a ruckus in the police station! This can't go on!"
"We're at his mercy, aren't we?" The chief stared at the door where Latham had left. "I'm actually hoping that Ms. Gabriella can win this internal struggle, and he'll be reduced to a a nobody again. It would make things a whole lot easier."
Latham, oblivious to his allies' anger, got into his car and immediately thought of calling Yvonne.
But,
after some thought, Latham decided to keep this matter under wraps for the time being.
His wife, having experienced hardships during her childhood, tended to be overly cautious and prone to anxiety.
Took Jason's wife and young children, for instance. He was his own brother, and after killing him, Latham wasn't too keen on harming his wife and child.
After all, w
hat kind of trouble could timid Lydia create?
A bit of money should be enough to send her off.
As for the kid, they could be brought up by his side, kept in the dark about their father. Who knew? They might even take care of him in his old age.
But Yvonne suspected collusion between Lydia and Hilaria.
She saw leaving the child behind as a ticking time bomb and insisted they should die.
Even though Latham thought she was overthinking it, he went along with her.
Now, since mother and child were lucky enough to be rescued by Gabriella, there was no chance of taking them back.
