The Legendary Man Chapter 16

“Anyway, you can’t call the police,” Emmeline pleaded as tears streamed down her cheeks.

 

As expected, Margaret’s heart softened at the sight of her daughter’s tears. “All right, stop crying. I won’t call the police,” she said, her voice a mix of exasperation and indulgence.

Yet, when she turned to face Jonathan, her expression changed to that of a vicious witch. “Jonathan, would’ve called the police if Emmeline’s reputation wasn’t at stake!” she spat, anger coursing through her veins.

Her order left no room for discussion, and there was a finality to her tone that warned Jonathan not to disobey her.
