“This is between the two of you. Handle your relationship problems yourselves. There’s no need to drag the police into it. It’s just wasting everyone’s time.”
Mr. Ratcliff turned to the officer. “Officer, we won’t be pressing charges against Millie. Sorry for the trouble. Please wrap this up and let her go.”
“Of course. Please wait a moment.”
With Mr. Ratcliff making the call, the police didn’t hesitate. They signed the paperwork and went to get Millie from the back.
Once the police and others were gone, Mr. Ratcliff finally glanced at Sofia, but his words were for Sebastian.
“I told you a long time ago to stay away from this woman. Don’t let her upset Reese. Reese’s pregnant. Now, look at this mess. You actually brought all this to the police station because of her.
“The butler saw all that stuff online and called me. You’ve embarrassed the whole Ratcliff family.”
Sofia’s face went pale. She looked at Sebastian, but he just pressed his lips together and said nothing.
Reese ignored the tension between grandfather and grandson, her eyes glued to the hallway.
As soon as Millie came out, Reese rushed over and hugged her tight, her eyes already red.
“Why did you have to be so impulsive? Why are you messing with him? If something had really happened, I wouldn’t have been able to protect you.”
“I’m sorry,” Millie said, her voice trembling with tears. “I just saw all those nasty things people were saying online. I couldn’t help myself. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. It won’t happen again.”
Reese squeezed her tighter. After all, this had started because of her. Millie had stood up for her, even lost her job. How could Reese be mad at her?
Mr. Ratcliff watched and sighed. “Let’s go home and talk.”
He looked at Sebastian. “You’re coming too.”
Sebastian didn’t answer. “Grandpa, you and Reese go ahead. I’ll take Sofia home first.”
