Bea snapped back to reality and said, "Right. Marian, go and call the driver right away. Let's head to the police station. Hurry!"

"Yes, Madam." Marian immediately went to summon the driver.

Calla said, "Grandma Bea, let me go with you."

"Okay, okay." Bea patted Calla's hand and said, "Calla, do as I tell you later. If we can get through this safely, you'll be the future daughter-in-law of the Burke family." Hearing Bea's promise, Calla was overjoyed, "Of course, I'll listen to you."

The police car roamed around for half an hour before finally arriving at the police station.

Stepping out, James had a grim expression, and Colt by his side was also holding back his anger.

The driver intentionally took a detour, clearly wanting the townsfolk to see the police car escorting them, aiming to fuel the public opinion even further.

How could Colby resort to such despicable tactics?

"Mr. Colby, Ms. Sophie, please get out of the car."

From another police car, Sophie, wrapped in Colby's coat, stepped out, meeting James' gaze with indifference.

James glanced at Colby and coldly said, "Colby, that's quite the tactic. I'm impressed."

Colby unapologetically said, "Compared to you, my tactics are indeed a bit more sophisticated."

"Mr. James, please come with us to give a statement."

The police led James away.

As he was leaving, James' gaze fell on Sophie.

Sophie averted her gaze, not looking back at James.

"Let's go."

Colby protected Sophie as they walked in, but before they reached the police station, a car's headlights suddenly shone on them.

Bea, furious, got out of the car and without a word, raised her hand to slap, but Sophie quickly blocked it. "Bea, why are you doing this?"

"Sophie! You've caused such a stir outside! You completely disregard the Burke family's reputation. And now, you heartlessly send your own husband to the police station. How could there be such an evil woman in the world? If I had known this, I would never have let you marry into the Burke family."

Bea was gasping for breath, her eyes burning as if she wanted to skin Sophie alive right then and there.

"Yes, Ms. Sophie, how could you do this? Please explain to the police that it's not like this. Tell them to release James." Calla spoke righteously.

Sophie almost laughed, "Ms. Calla, on what grounds do you order me? The person who kidnapped me, intending to rape me, is James. I am the victim here. Why should I clarify things with the police, and why should I demand they release James?"

Calla, feeling guilty, still tried to justify herself, "Because... because James is your husband. How can a husband's actions towards his wife be called rape?"

"Let me make it clear, any act against a woman's will is considered rape. Moreover, James and I were already discussing divorce. Him having me kidnapped and taken to a hotel is clearly rape."

Sophie's voice turned colder, "Before, I considered the fact that James and I were once husband and wife, and I wanted to discuss divorce with him properly. But he stubbornly refused and even resorted to such despicable and dirty actions. Everything I did now is completely justified."

"Sophie! You're utterly unreasonable. Let me tell you, even if James disagrees, this marriage is over. I will never tolerate a woman like you in the Burke family."

Bea, dragging Calla along, said, "Calla, come with me."

"Yes, Grandma Bea."
