In an instant, a security officer clamped his hand over my mouth, constricting my airway.
I was roughly pushed into a vehicle, my fingers feebly tapping the glass, praying Harrison would notice.
But the vehicle's loud engine muffled all noise, and my optimism vanished along with it.
The car halted at the entrance, and Lucas courteously opened the door for Sophia, while Noah yanked me out harshly.
The trio loomed over me, their umbrella casting a menacing shadow, making me feel diminutive and powerless.
Noah taunted, "Attempted escape? Luggage already prepared? I'm curious how you'll manage without the Parker family's support!"
I silently gathered the scattered items, as Lucas's voice came from above: 'Say sorry to Sophia, and you can remain a Parker.'
I inspected everything, only to discover it all damaged by the rain.
What's beyond salvation, abandon it.
Abruptly, the sound of screeching tires cut through the rainfall, and a cozy jacket was draped over my shoulders.
