?Chapter 184:


    “It’s not a bother. It’s part of the job. But do teach her. Brawling isn’tmendable. The bar was chaotic when we arrived,” the policeman advised.


    Kaiden expressed his gratitude and quickly assessed Ellie, ensuring her attire was intact and clean. Despite no apparent injuries, he asked, “Are you hurt?”


    “No.” Ellie shook her head instinctively, still puzzled by Kaiden’s sudden appearance. “Why… Why are you here?”


    She had called him an hour ago, but she hadn’t gotten through, and he hadn’t called her back.


    “Where else should I be?” Kaiden countered. “At a morgue or the Thorpe family cemetery?”


    Ellie felt embarrassed and defeated.


    He had heard everything!


    How did he always manage to overhear whenever she criticized him behind his back?


    Trying to change the subject, Ellie redirected, “Where’s Bruce? Shouldn’t you leave this sort of thing to him?”


    Kaiden’s unexpected presence at the police station to pick her up left Ellie feeling unsettled. She felt a sense of condescension from him.


    After signing, Kaiden nced at Ellie and remarked, “Should I inform my subordinate that my wife was arrested for fighting?”


    “Ha ha!” Baylee couldn’t help but burst intoughter, earning a sharp re from Ellie.


    “Stopughing!” Ellie reprimanded her.


    “Okay.” Baylee struggled to stifle herughter, her back and shoulders trembling slightly.


    Looking at Kaiden, Ellie rified, “I rarely visit bars. Today was an ident.”


    She then blinked at Baylee.

    Baylee immediately caught on, replying, “Yes, I used to enjoy them, but I won’t be your wife around anymore. Ellie and I nned to celebrate at Rich Bar today. We didn’t expect to meet troublemakers causing a scene.”


    At that moment, another police officer entered. “Are you two, Ellie and Baylee? Someone is bailing you out.”


    The officer then noticed Kaiden’s presence and was surprised. “What? Someone bailed Ellie and Baylee out?”


    “Miss Gordon, Miss Curtis, my dear bosses, I apologize for beingte.” The manager of Rich Bar, Harry Smith, entered with a worried and apologetic expression. “The bar required my attention. I heard you were still here, so I came… Uh, did I say something wrong?” Harry wondered why Ellie and Baylee were looking at him oddly.


    With a prompt response, Ellie addressed Kaiden, “Baylee and I opened a milk tea store. This is the manager we hired.”


    “Mr. Smith, you’re the Rich Bar’s manager, correct? I need your signature here, since the fight took ce in your bar.” The policeman approached, holding a document.


    Neither Ellie nor Baylee knew what to say at this point. What an awkward situation!
