But thats not whats bothering me, Keilani responded. She was confident that the police couldnt do anything to her. Im worried that my uncle and Lance will get mad and make me leave Mathias If I leave, I wont be able to return anytime soon. Whats the point in that?
I dont see why they would. After all, nothing happened to Bettie. Just tell them you simply wanted to give Bettie a scare, Alice suggested. She was frustrated Bettie got away uninjured.
Keilani let out a frustrated sigh. This is so frustrating. If I had known those three were so incompetent, I wouldnt have bothered with them.
Just then, they heard noises from outside.
Looking through the glass wall, they saw a black car pull up. Lance got out and entered with a calm stride.
Keilanis face went white with nerves, her hands clenched into fists.
Try to stay calm, Alice whispered.
Lance entered the living room, his gaze landing on the two of them.
Lance, youre back? Keilani attempted to greet him as if everything was normal.
Lance remained silent, his expression dark, as he slowly approached Keilani.
Feeling guilty under his stare, Keilanis heart raced, and she felt chills all over. She couldnt help but stand up and retreat a few steps in fear. Lance, whats the matter? Why Why are you looking at me like that?

Clap! The sound of a loud slap filled the living room.
Keilani covered her face, her mind going blank for a moment. She looked up at Lance, disbelief in her eyes. Did you just hit me?
Alice was also taken aback. It looked like Lance knew what Keilani had done.

Lance stared at Keilani with a cold gaze, each word deliberate. The things youve done could land you in jail for years. A slap is the least of your worries.
Remembering the incident at the flour factory, Lances expression grew even colder. He shuddered to think what could have happened to Bettie if Sabrina hadnt intervened and he hadnt arrived in time.
Keilani, burning with anger and feeling hurt being slapped by Lance, had tears in her eyes. How could you hit me? Ill have my father throw you out of the Wilson family!
Before you talk to our dad, maybe you should explain yourself at the police station.
No sooner had Lance said than three uniformed police officers burst in, taking Keilani into custody.
Caught off guard, Keilani panicked, her fear evident as she screamed, Let me go! Do you have any idea who I am? Whose house do you think this is? My uncle is Royce! Let me go! Otherwise, Ill show you what Im capable of!
Alice stayed quiet, doing her best to stay out of sight.
The policeman swiftly handcuffed Keilani, retorting, Royce? Name-dropping wont save you now. Take her away! And gag her!
Since the police had come searching for her, how could they be unaware that this was Royces residence? But they still proceeded to arrest her! Keilani was hit with a wave of despair. She turned to Lance like she was clutching at straws, tears streaming down her face.
I was wrong, so wrong! Please, help me! I cant end up in jail!
