“Do you really think you’re in the right after hitting someone?” Marilyn’s anger flared once more.
Tessa ignored Marilyn and stared straight at Queenie. You have no problem saying I broke your nose, but do you dare to tell everyone why I hit you?”
“Why did Tessa hit you?” Walter firmly stood by Tessa’s side.
“How would I know why you hit me? Weren’t you expelled from Falindale’s school for fighting? Tessa, do you even know what kind of person you are?”
Queenie was sure Tessa had no evidence to prove she was behind Ysabel’s kidnapping.
“Well, I gave you a chance to tell the truth.”
Tessa let out a cold scoff, took out her phone, and handed a recording to the police.
The officer pressed play, and Queenie’s threats against Tessa played loud and clear.
Queenie’s face instantly turned pale.
She never expected Tessa to have recorded everything.
Marilyn stared at her daughter in disbelief.
“I was simply rescuing my friend. Queenie committed kidnapping and assault. Right and wrong, severity and consequence, I trust the police will deliver a fair judgment.”
“Mom, I didn’t…”
Tessa handed over a USB drive.
“All the evidence is in here.”
Even the officer hadn’t expected such a twist.
“Queenie, if you have anything to say, tell the police! I’m not accepting any settlement.”

“Ms. Sinclair, I apologize. Now that we understand the situation, you’re the victim here.”
“It’s fine. Queenie, if you have any questions, talk to my lawyer.” Tessa handed Queenie a business card.

“She is just a useless, wolf–less waste, and you thought she was worth teaching a lesson? Now look at what you’ve done. She’s fine, and you’re about to go to jail! Marilyn was furious.
She didn’t mind her daughter punishing people, but she was livid that Queenie had been careless enough to leave behind evidence.
“I don’t want to go to jail! If anyone should, it’s Tessa!” Queenie suddenly thought of something and immediately grabbed her mother’s arm. “Mom, isn’t Uncle Clement the best lawyer in Navoris‘ werewolf community? Have him defend me! I’ll be fine!”
