Chapter 304 Abrupt Ending
Finished
At the venue, another reporter asked a question. “Although you’ve just revealed a lot of shocking information, none of it is backed up by evidence. It’s hard for us to judge if what you said is actually true…”
Before the reporter could finish, Thomas interrupted.
“So far, at least, I haven’t told a single lie. As for whates next…
He paused, a shadow flickering in his eyes.
“I’m going to give my full statement to the police. If you don’t believe me… you can believe them.”
With these words, Thomas suddenly stood up.
Without saying another word, without looking back, he walked out of the room.
The press conference ended just like that.
Everyone watched him leave<b>, </b>stunned and unsure of what to do.
The livestreamments immediately exploded with question marks.
“That’s it?<b>” </b>
“He just left?”
“Wait, what? Why didn’t he say more?”
“I wasn’t done watching…”
“Did Thomas break down at the end? Couldn’t keep it together?”
“The whole press conference felt rushed.”
“Why are the police letting him walk out? Someone should arrest him.”
Thomas walked out of the room and silently got into the car.
He lowered his head and buried his face in his hands.
The tension that had held him so tightly was finally starting to ease.
I knew <i>that </i><i>Dominic </i><i>must </i><i>have </i><i>been </i><i>watching </i><i>everything </i><i>from </i><i>behind the </i><i>screen</i>.
<i>I </i><i>had </i>no <i>choice </i><i>but </i><i>to go </i><i>through </i><i>with </i><i>it</i><i>. </i>
<i>Now </i><i>that </i><i>everything </i><b><i>was </i></b><b><i>out </i></b>in <i>the </i><i>open</i><i>, </i><i>a </i><i>wave </i><i>of </i><i>regret </i><i>and </i><b><i>helplessness </i></b><b><i>washed </i></b><i>over</i>.
A single tear rolled from the corner of his eye, hot and heavy, and fell into the palm of his hand.

Confusion, fear, remorse<b>, </b>and bitterness<b>… </b>
Countless emotions swirled in his chest<b>, </b>and his mind went nk for a moment.
He sat there, frozen, eyes wide open and unfocused.
Suddenly, someone tapped on the car window.

Thomas‘ shoulders trembled slightly, but he didn’t look up.
The person outside knocked again, harder and more insistently.
Finally, Thomas lifted his eyes to look.
A policeman was standing outside the window.
So Thomas was arrested in his own car.
The cold handcuffs were tight around his wrists. His sister, Selena, was also taken into custody.
<i>Dominic </i>had <i>meant </i>what <i>he </i><i>had </i><i>said</i>. <i>He </i><i>had </i><i>us </i><i>arrested </i><i>for </i><i>kidnapping</i>.
On Twitter, the entire tform had been taken over by the news of Thomas‘ press conference. It had even overshadowed the hottest celebrity gossip of the day.
“Now that everything is out in the open, I’m honestly happy for Asher.”
“The people who attacked Thomas and Jean online bettere out and apologize.”
“Thomas and Shawn are disgusting. The police need to deal with them now. Don’t let them go.”
“Please release Asher soon. The poor boy didn’t deserve any of this.”
“Can’t believe we all got yed by Thomas and Shawn. Damn it.”
“I guess sometimes you just have to wait for the dust to settle.”
“All right, enough talking. Put them both inside the jails quickly.”
“Thomas and Shawn can rot in prison. At least Edgar came through at thest minute and testified.”
“Justice prevails. Let’s go.”
“Plot twist upon twist. We’ve finally reached the end. I hope the guilty pay and the innocent get justice.”
“Asher really suffered. I feel so bad for him.”
“Jean must have known that Asher was innocent. That’s why she tried so hard to help him. They’re both good kids. Thomas is the real viin.”
“Turns out Mr. Jolene, thewyer, was really just fighting for justice, not money. We all misjudged him.”
“He also deserves an apology.”
