GoodNovelChapter 1056
In no time, a bunch of cops barged in. The scene in the rental was enough to make anyone's hair stand on end,
especially with Liam sprawled out on the floor, bloodied up. It was a real shocker.
What kind of beef leads to this kind of mess?
"Officers, it's them! They're the ones who did this to me! You gotta arrest them!" Liam shouted, his voice
cracking with desperation.
The officer in charge, a guy barely out of his twenties with a face that meant business, turned to Henrik after
hearing Liam's claims. As soon as he laid eyes on Henrik, he froze.
Why does this guy look so familiar?
After a quick scroll through his phone, it clicked. "Wait, you're Henrik? Flora's brother?" he asked, sounding a bit
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunsure.
Henrik blinked, taken aback. How did they know Flora? "What happened to my sister?" he blurted out without
thinking.
Whoa! So he really is Flora's brother! The young officer's face broke into a grin, giving Henrik a friendly pat on
the shoulder like they were old pals. "No worries, mate. Since you're Flora's brother, it's like we're family. Flora's
been a real hero to the Haines clan!" Turns out, this young officer was Cynthia's cousin. The Haines family had
already made sure to remember Henrik and Raul's names and faces, all to thank Flora. And now, here they were,
face to face. The Haines family... Cynthia, huh?
Henrik caught on quickly. He'd heard about what went down at school with his sister earlier. Now that he knew
Flora was okay, he was here to deal with Cecelia's situation.
Liam was gobsmacked. Why were the cops chitchatting with Henrik instead of cuffing him? "Officer, you gotta be
fair! Look what they did to me! Arrest him!" Liam fumed, his voice shaking with pain and anger. "What's all the
yelling for?" the young officer shot back, clearly annoyed. Henrik was Flora's brother-could he really be a bad
guy? And if a big shot like him was at this rundown rental, there had to be a story. "So, what's the deal, brother?"
the officer asked Henrik, dropping the formalities.
Henrik laid it out simply. Liam had been shaking down an artist from his company, and yeah, things got out of
hand today.
The officer pondered for a moment,
then said, "Alright, | got it. Take them both to the station for questioning. As for Flora's brother, no need for you
to tag along. I'm alreadyin the loop." en
This whole thing wasn't huge, but it was definitely Liam's own doing.
Everyone else got hauled off, leaving Henrik standing there, not a scratch on him. The young officer swapped
contact info with Henrik, then left with a satisfied look.
Henrik dialed Cecelia's number. "Where are you? I'll cpick you up."

After returning from the University of Maple Grove, Flora slept right through to the next day's noon. Last night
had wiped her out.
Once she had breakfast, she headed
to Jules' fab. On the way, she called up Howell. "From now on, let Kaylee handle Rafael's outfits, and you can
help tweak them."
"Oh-" Howell replied, a teasing lilt in his voice. "Sure, I'll let him know he's not the favorite anymore."
Rafael had been flaunting how Flora designed his clothes, and it was getting old fast.
Flora: ...
Not the favorite anymore? That sounded weird.
She hung up and shot a few texts to Connor before Rafael's call interrupted. Flora answered, keeping her cool.
Right away, Rafael's agitated voice cthrough, with a hint of a whine.
