Chapter 5 +25 Bonus All the color instantly drained from Jessica's face . She shrieked in terror as she held on to Dennis's arm as though it were her last lifeline . " Dennis ! Help me ! I don't want to go to the police station ! Say something ! Tell them it was a misunderstanding ! It was all just a misunderstanding ! " Dennis's face was also extremely sour . His girlfriend was about to be taken away by the police , with all his friends watching . This was even more humiliating than being publicly slapped . He turned around , gritting his teeth as he glared at me and said . " Do you really have to go this far ? " I stared at him coldly , not saying a word . He took a deep breath , then forced a smile as he turned to the officers . " Officer , it's just a misunderstanding . This is my sister , and that's my girlfriend . They had a little disagreement , but I've already taught Jessica a lesson . " He tried to put himself between Jessica and the police . " It's late , and there's no need to cause any trouble . We can handle this ourselves since this is all just a family matter . " Then he turned back to me , his tone sounding as though he was almost pleading . " Can't you just show me a little respect ? Make the officers leave , and we'll sort this out at home . " He thought I would give in like all those other times , sacrificing everything for his laughable pride and respect . He thought I still cared about our so - called sibling bond . But what he didn't realize was that whatever affection I had had left was long gone after I had been locked in that filthy storage room and beaten within an inch of my life . I looked him in the eye and spoke clearly to the officer . " Officer , this is not a misunderstanding . The hospital has documented all my injuries , and they have the reports . She extorted a hundred thousand dollars from me , and the bank has the record for the transfer . I demand this be handled according to the law immediately . " My words hit Dennis like a powerful slap across the face . His expression froze , shifting from begging to surprise , then to disbelief and humiliation . The police ignored his protests , stepping forward as he took the handcuffs out . Then , they cuffed Jessica while she was still screaming . " Let me go ! Do you know who I am ?! My boyfriend is Dennis White ! Dennis ! Help me ! Dennis ! " Jessica was dragged out of the manor by two officers , crying and struggling the whole way . Her hysterical screams echoed through the now silent living room , and it was especially disturbing . Dennis stood there , frozen like a statue . All his friends watched with a mix of pity , mockery , and morbid curiosity . His pride had been utterly shattered by my own hand at this moment , with me crushing the fragments under my boot . 1/2 Chopher s +25 Bonus Finally , after Jessica's cries had faded away , Dennis turned around to face me . His once - clear eyes were bloodshot now , blazing with anger and resentment . " Theresa White ! " He shouted , his voice hoarse with rage . " Are you happy now ?! Can't you bear to see me happy ? Can't you stand to see me with someone close ?! You called the cops on my girlfriend for an outsider ?! Are you out of your mind ?! " He jabbed a finger in my face , accusing me like I was the real criminal who had committed some unforgivable sin . The room was so quiet , it was suffocating . His so - called friends , the trust fund kids and nepo - babies who usually acted so close to him , didn't dare say a word . The ones from the more prominent families knew perfectly well that I was the true head of the White family . The older sister who could make Dennis shake in his shoes , no matter how frail she looked . I listened to his rant in silence , feeling nothing but exhaustion . All those years of effort suddenly seemed meaningless . When he finally ran out of steam and was left gasping for breath , I raised my hand . Slap ! A crisp sound echoed through the living room .
