Chapter 5

If Marcus Davies had any misunderstandings about me over the past seven years, it was this: I was never some naive girl from a poor family.

I was Arabella Montague, the heiress of the powerful Montague family from Southford.

Back then, to be with him, I fell out with my father and willingly gave up my privileged status.

This time, it was no different.

My inherent pride wouldn't allow me to accept an unresolved ending.

Even if tearing off the facade meant a bloody truth, I wouldn't back down.

The car quickly arrived at the police station entrance.

I rolled down the window. From a short distance, I saw Marcus sitting on a bench in the police station.

I rarely saw him in such a state of disarray.

His usually immaculate suit was wrinkled, and his face was bruised.

The clients he had beaten up looked even worse, their faces almost completely swollen.

I looked at him calmly. So, Marcus could indeed cast aside his pride and impeccable reputation for someone else.

"I'm so sorry, Boss. Are you alright?"

Tiffany practically threw herself into his arms, crying a river of tears.

Marcus's body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't push her away. He just looked at her deeply.

"I'm just glad you're okay."

Tiffany didn't speak, but continued crying for a long time, facing her phone's live stream.

Soon, Marcus tenderly stroked her eyes.

"Don't cry. I'll be fine."

Carried away by the moment, Tiffany suddenly leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"That's a reward for my knight."

Marcus froze for a second. The next moment, they embraced, lost in each other.

I watched this scene in the live stream, my heart aching intensely. The comments were all about how "real" they were.

But after a moment, I calmed down, making eye contact with Aunt Vivienne.

The next second, I pushed open the car door, strode forward, and dramatically raised my voice:

"Honey, I heard you were hurt! Are you alright? ...What are you two doing?!"

My voice was loud enough for everyone in the police station, and even those watching the live stream, to hear clearly.

All attention immediately shifted to us.

In an instant, the comments section erupted.
