Tyrone pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on Sabrina through the rearview mirror. He clenched
his teeth and asked, “It has nothing to do with me?”
He had given her the opportunity to turn to him for his help, but it seemed she preferred
to hide the issue from him and carry the risk of retaliation.
Did she find him that untrustworthy to confide in?
Why was she not valuing her own safety?
Sabrina raised her head, noticing the anger in his eyes, but she couldn’t comprehend the
reason behind it. “It’s my own business. And how did you find out I was investigating the
kidnapping case? Did you investigate me again? I still haven’t settled accounts with you
for following me to Orden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSabrina’s righteous anger flared, and Tyrone was incensed. He gripped the steering wheel
tightly, the veins on the back of his hand becoming pronounced. “I investigated you
because you were being threatened. I followed you to Orden because you were injured the
night before, and I genuinely cared about your well-being. You might find it hard to
believe, but I just want to help you!”
Sabrina wore a gentle smile as she addressed him, “Tyrone, your concern and your offer of

Tyrone gazed at Sabrina with a trace of bitterness in his voice, “Is that how you perceive

She suspected that his willingness to help was driven by a desire to manipulate her into

Tyrone responded with silence, his eyes filled with gloom.
The atmosphere inside the car immediately became tense, and the air grew heavy.
With her hands tucked into her pockets, Sabrina leaned against the back of the seat and
gazed out of the window, refraining from speaking.
Upon arriving at the entrance gate of the community, Tyrone brought the car to a halt and
silently observed her through the rearview mirror.
Sabrina attempted to push the door open, but it remained locked. She turned to meet his

asked, “Could you please unlock the door?”
Tyrone let out a bitter laugh and unlocked the central lock. Without uttering a word,
Sabrina pushed the door open, exited the car, and entered the community.
Tyrone’s gaze remained fixed on her retreating figure until she vanished around the
corner.
He then shifted his attention, staring into the empty space before suddenly striking the
steering wheel with his fist.
When Sabrina reached home, Bettie was still awake. Upon seeing Sabrina, Bettie inquired,
“Did you drop Jennie off at home?”
