Chapter 119

Chapter 117

Although I drove often, I didn’t know much about racing cars, so I quickly refused, "You guys go ahead.I'll be here to keep an eye on you. Don't worry. I won't be biased toward Merlin for personal gain."

"Okay, then let's start."

Emma, who was standing by my side, suddenly asked, "Is that your car?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah."

In a low voice, she asked, "Can I drive it?"

Worried, I asked, "You’re going to race with them too?"

"Yeah, it's boring just to wait here anyway."

Feeling troubled, I glanced at James, but he smiled and assured me. "Miss. Felix, give it to her. Mysister is really good."

I gave Emma the car keys. She sat in and touched the steering wheel with excitement, then mutteredto herself, "This car is worth tens of millions. Dad has never bought it for me, but I can finally try it."

The Turner Family couldn't buy a sports car worth tens of millions. I had it because I was the only onein the Felix Family, so there was nowhere else to spend the money earned, so I was never stingy interms of enjoyment.

No matter where I was, my assistant would prepare many luxury cars for me, and it was entirely up tome which car I wanted to drive when I went out.

As the few of them drove off, I sat and waited on the side of the road. Finally, after a while, four policecars arrived.

My heart thumped, and I sighed, thinking that we were doomed.

This was my first time being caught and brought to the police station, and it was because I waswatching them race. Merlin and James were in the jail cell, while Emma held her bag, looking at thepolice with an innocent expression. "After my brother picked me up from school, he took me up themountain. I was doing my homework with the light of my cell phone. Look. I have workbooks insidehere."

I was stunned by Emma's ability to turn the truth upside down. The police opened her bag and saw thatit was full of math workbooks for high school students.

She even pretended to be obedient in the face of those police officers. "I'm innocent."

The police didn't hold Emma accountable but asked us to call our families to post bail.

I glanced at Merlin, but he gave me a look to say that it was none of his business. "Don't look at me. Ifmy dad replaces out about this, he will nag me to death."

I whispered, "You can call your assistant."

"Do you think my dad won't know if I call my assistant?"

What Merlin said seemed to make sense.

I looked at James, but he looked like he was close to death's door after hearing that they needed to bebailed out. "So is my dad. I don't want to be nagged by him, and I even brought my sister out with me. Ifhe knew about it…"

After a pause, he said, "Only you can solve it."

I could indeed solve this sticky situation. I just had to make a phone call for someone to pick us up, butI felt rather annoyed at their attitude.

They caused it, but they were making me clean up after their messes when I was the one who gotdragged into this mess.

Nevertheless, I still asked the police for my phone as I didn't want to stay in this cell overnight. Whenthe police brought it over, Merlin saw it and asked curiously, "Which model is that? Why have I neverseen it in stores before?"

James asked with furrowed brows, "It looks very familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere… I don'tremember clearly. What brand is it?"

I explained faintly, "It's a product by the Xenos Family."

Understanding dawned on James the moment I brought up the Xenos Family. "No wonder it looks so

familiar. I met Shawn at a meeting not long ago. He was using this phone too."

I asked curiously, "Does Shawn have a cooperation with your family?"

"Yeah. For technology."

I didn't ask any more questions. Initially, I planned to call my assistant, but I suddenly rememberedwhat Kevin said.

I had the advantage.

I should use this advantage.

However, if I called him when it was such a small matter, wouldn't it be obvious?

Whatever. We could talk about it after I called him.

I called Shawn. When Merlin saw this, he asked in a disdainful tone, "You're calling Shawn when it'ssuch a trivial matter? Renee, are you doing this on purpose? Do you like him?"

Merlin could see my intentions.

I retorted, "If it's such a trivial matter, why don't you call your mother? Why do you have to trouble me?I'm calling Shawn because my assistant isn't free. There are only a handful of people I know in Eldham.Who should I call if not him?"

Merlin was about to attack me again, but the phone rang.

Shawn's faint voice sounded. "What is it?"

"Sunny, I'm at the police station."

Shawn remained silent.

"Can you come and pick me up?"

Shawn immediately hung up. When Merlin saw this, he sneered, "Look. It's one-sided after all!"

In irritation, I put away my phone and vowed, "Shawn will come. If he doesn't come, he would've toldme."

Merlin didn't believe me, but James chuckled and said, "Let's wait and see. If Shawn doesn't come, I'llcall my assistant."

Then, he looked helplessly at Emma, who was doing homework and eating snacks next to the police,and said, "There's no escape from this beating."

At a glance, Emma looked like a little girl. Before this, I was fooled by the persona she had on. But, asit were, she was the most intelligent one out of all of us, considering how she managed to escape thisembarrassing situation.

Merlin suddenly osked, "Are you ond Shown close?"

I denied, "No. We just know eoch other."

Suddenly, he soid solemnly, "It seems you hoven't escoped him."

I frowned ond osked, "Why ore you being so poronoid?"

"Whotever. You won't listen to me onywoy."

The otmosphere inexplicobly turned gloomy when he soid those words. After o while, Merlin sighed."Renee, I support ony choice you moke."

"Thonk you, Merlin."

I thonked him for understonding me.

Despite them thinking thot Shown wouldn't show up, he suddenly oppeored ot the entronce of thepolice stotion, o lorge group of people behind him.

When Jomes sow him, he sighed. "Sh*t. My dod is here too. Shown must hove rushed over from omeeting, ond my dod togged olong!"

Shown's ouro wos imposing os he strode over to the police ond listened to the police exploin thereoson to him. Meonwhile, Woylen followed the other police to go through the formolities, ond we wereoble to leove in o short while.

I obediently wolked to Shown's side ond sow thot his expression wos shorp ond cold, then he left.

He never soid o single word.

As Shown wolked indifferently in front, I troiled behind, ond Woylen soid quietly from behind me, "Mr.Xenos is ongry."

Puzzled, I osked, "Whot's he ongry obout?"

"He thought you didn't treosure life ond went to roce illegolly."

I quickly exploined, "I didn't roce ot oll. I wos wotching them roce when the police orrested me."

Woylen reminded, "You hove to exploin it to Mr. Xenos."

When he got into the cor, he hung his heod slightly os he ployed with the ring on his finger. I bent over,got into the cor, ond sot beside him.

My goze noturolly londed on his polm, ond I found thot there wos o circle of teeth morks on it, so Icoutiously osked, "Is thot from my bite?"

Shown remoined silent, so I onxiously tugged on his sleeves ond begged in o soft tone, "Don't be likethis. Don't be ongry with me!"

"Then, will you do such o dongerous thing ogoin?"

He wos finolly tolking to me, so I didn't exploin ond continued letting him misunderstond. After oll, Iliked the woy he wos ongry ond worried obout me.

"Sunny, were you worried obout me?"

He pursed his lips tightly ond didn't speok. So, I boldly held his cold polm ond confirmed my guess."You were worried obout me."

"So disrespectful. Let go."

Merlin suddenly asked, "Are you and Shawn close?"

I denied, "No. We just know each other."

Suddenly, he said solemnly, "It seems you haven't escaped him."

I frowned and asked, "Why are you being so paranoid?"

"Whatever. You won't listen to me anyway."

The atmosphere inexplicably turned gloomy when he said those words. After a while, Merlin sighed."Renee, I support any choice you make."

"Thank you, Merlin."

I thanked him for understanding me.

Despite them thinking that Shawn wouldn't show up, he suddenly appeared at the entrance of thepolice station, a large group of people behind him.

When James saw him, he sighed. "Sh*t. My dad is here too. Shawn must have rushed over from ameeting, and my dad tagged along!"

Shawn's aura was imposing as he strode over to the police and listened to the police explain thereason to him. Meanwhile, Waylen followed the other police to go through the formalities, and we wereable to leave in a short while.

I obediently walked to Shawn's side and saw that his expression was sharp and cold, then he left.

He never said a single word.

As Shawn walked indifferently in front, I trailed behind, and Waylen said quietly from behind me, "Mr.Xenos is angry."

Puzzled, I asked, "What's he angry about?"

"He thought you didn't treasure life and went to race illegally."

I quickly explained, "I didn't race at all. I was watching them race when the police arrested me."

Waylen reminded, "You have to explain it to Mr. Xenos."

When he got into the car, he hung his head slightly as he played with the ring on his finger. I bent over,got into the car, and sat beside him.

My gaze naturally landed on his palm, and I found that there was a circle of teeth marks on it, so Icautiously asked, "Is that from my bite?"

Shawn remained silent, so I anxiously tugged on his sleeves and begged in a soft tone, "Don't be likethis. Don't be angry with me!"

"Then, will you do such a dangerous thing again?"

He was finally talking to me, so I didn't explain and continued letting him misunderstand. After all, Iliked the way he was angry and worried about me.

"Sunny, were you worried about me?"

He pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak. So, I boldly held his cold palm and confirmed my guess."You were worried about me."

"So disrespectful. Let go."
