At that moment, Adrian signaled for his men to proceed.
Iron Hammer noticed this and immediately brought his men over to surround Laurel.
When she saw the group of people suddenly surrounding her, Laurel was shocked and confused for a moment as she trembled
“Who are you people?” she asked, but nobody answered.
When Adrian walked over, Samantha grabbed his hand and said, “Are you really going to arrest her, dear? By the looks of it, her baby can’t be more than a few months old. Can you really arrest her when her baby still needs to be fed?*
Adrian hesitated for a moment but did not reply. Instead, he walked over and stood before Laurel
When Laurel saw Adrian in his black battle suit, she recalled the famous War Legate Draco that she had heard so much about recently. She trembled as she looked at Adrian in confusion.
“Are you Laurel Nalan?”
Laurel wiped her hands against her apron and said, “Y–Yes, that’s me. Who are you people?”
“We’re here because of what happened to Chuck Wilson. Do you know this man
Laurel visibly trembled but did not seem to have any intention of retaliating. She bit her lip and said, “Yes, I know him.”
“Wallace and Cormac Cook were apprehended and executed yesterday. Is there anything you’d like to tell me, Laurel?” Adrian asked.
Instead of answering his question, Laurel asked, “Are you here to arrest me?”
Adrian nodded. “Yes, we are.
Laurel took a deep breath. Strangely enough, she did not seem as frightened as Cormac and Wallace. Still biting her lip, she said, “Could you please give me some time? I’d like to feed my baby one more time. I’ll come with you once she’s been fed.”
Adrian was rather surprised when he heard this. He had not expected Laurel to be so calm. Considering the matter on hand,
her behavior was rather unusual
Meanwhile, Samantha and Joanna exchanged looks. Seeing how Laurel was behaving, they thought she should be a decent. woman, However, the fact of the matter was that Laurel had a blemished past.
In light of her behavior, Adrian granted Laurel some courtesy. She removed her apron and picked up her baby from the stroller once more to breastfeed her.
While she was doing this, Samantha asked, “Laurel, you don’t seem anything like the woman we heard about. Why did you do such a thing to Chuck? Have you mended your ways or something?”
“No, I knowingly conned him,” Laurel replied.
“Looks like you’re owning up to your own actions,” Joanna said, “Those who are pitiful have usually done something to be hated for, or so they say. Do you have any idea you’re the reason Chock’s mother is dead and that you almost got him killed as well?
“What’s worse, he loved you deeply.”
en arrest me someday which is why I made
Laurel did not immediately reply. After a long pause, she said, “I knew you’d to no plans to hide. I’ll come in with you after t’in duce feeding my baby.”
“D*mn it…” Joanna was infuriated by Laurel’s behavior.
How did she seem so noble after everything she did?
Soon, Laurel was done feeding her baby. She then stood up and walked into her house, where a scrawny–lonlding woman was Laying on a bed. She handed the baby to her and sald, “Please take care of the baby for me, Mother. Also, please ask Mason to come back home later.”

“Where are you going?” the old woman asked.
“Please have Mason take care of her if I don’t come back,” Laurel said.
After that, she walked out of the house despite the old woman’s pleas. The old woman’s cries rang out from inside, causing the baby to start crying too.
With red–rimmed eyes, Laurel walked toward Adrian and stretched out her hands. “You may arrest me now.”
