The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 459

Jane hurried to comfort her daughter. “Kathy, don’t be afraid. I’m here, and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

She spun around, anger flashing in her eyes as she faced Rebecca. “Rebecca, you’re going too far! Kathy is our daughter. We won’t let you hurt her.”

Rebecca stared back, her voice icy. “So even if she’s done something wrong, you’re just going to cover for her forever?”

Jane’s tone hardened. “Kathy is a good girl. She must’ve been set up. Don’t just take Byron’s word for it. Who knows if you yourself provoked Byron and got yourself into trouble? I believe Kathy would never do something like that.”

Rebecca let out a cold, sharp laugh. “Set up? Byron already confessed. He said Katherine put him up to it. If you want to keep your eyes and heart shut, fine—but now it seems your ears don’t work either.”

Jane was about to explode when suddenly the sound of sirens cut through the tension, and a police car pulled up outside.

Rebecca had already called the police before she came.

As uniformed officers entered, Hogan and Jane exchanged worried glances. Dread settled over them—they’d never imagined Rebecca would actually go to the police.

A staff member approached Katherine. “Ms. Foster, you’re being accused of conspiring with Byron to commit assault. Please come with us.”

Katherine, having never experienced anything like this before, immediately panicked. “That’s not true! I didn’t do anything with Byron!”

She looked desperately at her parents. “Dad, Mom, please say something, help me…”

Seeing things escalate, Hogan sprang forward, his tone forceful. “Officer, my daughter hasn’t done anything wrong! Don’t you dare accuse her of something she didn’t do. As long as I’m here, you are not taking my daughter anywhere!”
