Kendrick’s breath caught in his throat. “You say I’m a filthy bastard?”
“Yes! Kendrick, don’t you hear me?”
Talia’s eyes were bloodshot, and the emotions that had been pent up for seven years exploded at that moment.

“Back then, I used to stick to you like glue and be present shadow. But once you started having an affair with Valerie and got me sent to prison, it was over between us!”
Glass shards scattered all over the floor, and someone’s blood seeped onto the ground.
But Talia didn’t care.
“Now I suddenly realize that I was just blind before when I thought I liked you. Well, can’t you accept it all of a sudden?”
A cold smile played on Talia’s face.
Since Kendrick refused to let go, she continued to slam the jagged glass bottle into his hand.
“I should congratulate you. You’ve finally managed to marry Valerie. But here you are, holding my hand. Aren’t you worried that your precious Valerie will get jealous?”
After one final hard strike, the glass bottle in Talia’s hand finally shattered into pieces.

Broken glass covered the ground beneath their feet.
She tossed the bottle cap aside and saw that Kendrick’s arms. were smeared with blood, yet there was no change in her expression.
Jessica rushed over anxiously to check if Talia was hurt.
Her fair arms were stained red with blood, a shocking sight. Along with the mess on the ground, it was hard not to make people worried.
Thankfully, at first glance, there didn’t seem to be any wounds on her.
However, just as Jessica let out a sigh of relief, she saw police officers entering the bar.
It seemed that at some point, someone had quietly called the police.

Several men who were usually on good terms with Kendrick quickly rushed over and supported him. “Kendrick, are you all right?”
No one had anticipated such a bloody scene.
Kendrick remained silent. He pressed his lips tightly together, and his face turned a bit pale.
Talia had struck hard. His arm appeared to be cut, and blood kept gushing out.
A friend suggested, “Kendrick, the ambulance is here. Let’s go to the hospital and get you checked out first!”
Kendrick nodded in assent. As he left, his eyes swept across

Talia didn’t even flinch. She thought that even looking at him. one more time would make her feel disgusted.
At the Maplehelm Police Station.
Talia was sitting in the interrogation room, her body splattered with a great deal of blood.
Her face was somewhat pale, and her slender body huddled up, silent. She looked utterly pitiful.
Next to her, Jessica sat with a worried expression. “Tally, are you all right? Why are you shivering?”
When they came to the police station in a rush, Talia’s coat had been left behind in the bar.
Now she was only wearing a suspender dress.
It was late at night, and when the wind blew, it was quite chilly.
Talia turned her head and gave Jessica a faint smile. “I’m fine. I’m just cold.”
Jessica was taken aback. She was only wearing a top herself; otherwise, she would have taken it off and draped it over Talia.
“When you hit Kendrick just now, you were so cool and it was so amazing. When Kendrick left, his face was ashen. I bet he’s never been treated like that in his life.”

Talia hadn’t intended to hurt anyone.
But Kendrick had grabbed her and tried to drag her out of the
bar.
She hadn’t expected that even after breaking each wine. bottle, Kendrick still wouldn’t let go of her.
She thought to herself, “What on earth is Kendrick up to?
“I used to follow him around, and he treated me like I was invisible, not even bothering to give me a second glance.
“Now that we’ve broken up, why is he still pestering me?
“Moreover, he held a press conference yesterday and announced that Valerie was his fiancee.”
After getting a clear picture of the situation, a policeman
came over.
He said, “Ms. Taylor, we have reviewed the surveillance footage from the time of the incident. You were acting in self- defense. According to the regulations, you won’t be held legally responsible, but you need someone to come and bail you out.”
Upon hearing this, Jessica immediately said, “Can I bail her out?”
The policeman glanced at Jessica. “No, and you need your family to bail you out too.”
Jessica fell silent.
She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 2:30 in the morning.

Her parents were probably sound asleep by now. She didn’t want to worry them by making them come to the police station in the middle of the night.
After a moment, Jessica called her husband, Tyson.
The phone rang several times before it was answered. The background noise on Tyson’s end was very loud as if he was playing cards with others, and there was also a faint woman’s voice.
After answering the call, Tyson said indifferently, “Why do you call me?”
Jessica didn’t beat around the bush. Her tone was as cold as if she were talking to a stranger. “Come and pick me up at the police station.”
Seven or eight seconds later, Tyson’s cold and mocking voice came through the noisy background, “Did you break the law and end up at the police station?
“Jessica, you’re really something.”
Jessica pursed her lips, clearly hearing the impatience in Tyson’s words.
She realized she must have been out of her mind to have called Tyson in the first place.
Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Tyson suddenly said, “I can do that.”
Jessica held the phone, waiting for Tyson to elaborate.
“But you need to have a baby for me.”

Jessica was at a loss for words.
She tried her best to hold back her anger on the other end of the line, but finally couldn’t contain it any longer.
“We’re getting a divorce. What’s the point of having a child? Tyson, did you drink too much or is there anything wrong with your mind?”
Jessica could tell that Tyson was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.
They had entered into marriage as a result of their families‘ arrangements, but Tyson had feelings for someone else. However, due to family pressure, he had no choice but to marry her.
From the very start, Jessica was the only one who had high hopes for this marriage.
She spent every day alone in that empty house, and two years had passed just like that. Her hope had gradually turned into despair.
After realizing that Tyson would never fall in love with her, Jessica filed for divorce.
Tyson had agreed, and they were in the process of discussing when to finalize the divorce procedures.
And now, he was asking her to have a baby for him?
Was he joking?
It was obvious that Tyson didn’t want to come to the police station to bail her out and was deliberately using these words to make Jessica give up on the idea.

“So,” Tyson asked with a hint of mockery, “Since you’re getting a divorce, why should I bail you out?”
Jessica was taken aback. Before she could respond, a ringtone came from the other end of the phone.
Tyson had hung up.

Jessica held the phone, remaining silent for half a minute before she snapped out of it.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she shrugged helplessly. She forced a smile at Talia that looked a far cry from a genuine smile.
“As you can see, our relationship is in such a state, and Tyson refused to come.”
Talia hugged Jessica’s shoulder, feeling a bit sorry for her.
Jessica clearly didn’t want to dwell on these unpleasant matters. “My husband is unreliable. It seems we can only count on your husband to bail us out.”
Talia pursed her lower lip, wondering if Kayson had already gone to bed by this time.
On the first day of their marriage, asking him to come and pick her up from the police station…
Just the thought of it made Talia feel that the situation was too dramatic.
She wondered how Kayson would think of her.
