Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 125

The female officer glanced at her thin nightgown and nodded. “Make it quick.”

Under the watchful eyes of the two officers, Yvonne got out of bed, went into the bathroom to wash up, and changed into a casual white t-shirt and a denim skirt. She pulled her long hair into a messy bun.

“May I contact my lawyer?” she asked after getting dressed. It was her right, and the officer naturally agreed.

Yvonne picked up her phone and dialed Sandra’s number. With the police monitoring her every word, she kept it brief. “Sandra, I’m a suspect in an assault case. I need you to contact a lawyer for me immediately.”

After the call, she followed the officers out of her room. She remained silent the entire time. Until her lawyer arrived and she understood the full situation, the smartest thing to do was to say nothing.

“What’s going on? Why are you taking my daughter?” Teresa, who had just woken up, rushed out of her room with her hair in a mess. She tried to block the officers’ path but was gently pushed aside.

“Ma’am, please do not obstruct a police investigation.”

“Yvonne, what happened? Why are the police arresting you?” Teresa asked, turning to her daughter in a panic.

“Why don’t you ask your precious daughter Queena?” Yvonne replied with a cold smile.

Jeffrey quickly stepped forward. “Yvonne didn’t hurt Queena!” he explained to the officers. “It’s all a misunderstanding. I can testify.”

Yvonne reviewed it meticulously before signing her name. Afterward, she was not released. She was held at the station for two hours before Sandra arrived with a lawyer.

“Yvonne, are you okay?” Sandra asked, her eyes filled with concern.

“I’m fine,” Yvonne replied, turning her attention to the lawyer.

“Ms. Jones,” the lawyer began, “I’ve reviewed the preliminary details. After Queena was admitted to the hospital last night, the medical report listed her injuries as first-degree minor assault. She then filed a police report, accusing you of intentional injury.”

“First-degree minor assault? Is she made of paper?” Yvonne scoffed. If proven, a charge like that could lead to a sentence of up to three years. So this was Queena’s plan.
