The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2120

The cops had seen their fair share of hotheads and loudmouths causing a ruckus with no real purpose. They usually

kept to their own tasks, letting the outbursts wash over them like water off a duck’s back.

But Tessa was making a scene that could not be ignored.

“And that guy earlier, who does he think he is? He acts like his head’s in the clouds! So what if he’s some big shot

from the underworld? That doesn’t give him the right to push us around in here! Where did everyone go? I want to

file a complaint!” Tessa’s tantrum was so disruptive that an officer finally stepped in to handle the commotion.

“Lady, if I were you, I’d think twice before bad-mouthing Mr. Howard. Crossing him can have consequences that

most folks wouldn’t want to mess with,” the officer said sternly, sending shivers down Tessa’s spine.

“People like him wouldn’t stoop to our level… Finn, maybe you shouldn’t be so timid…”

“Timid? I’m being cautious for our family’s sake! Sure, under normal circumstances, someone like him wouldn’t

bother with us. But your darling daughter Ivy is now right by his side, isn’t she? That ungrateful girl, always at odds

with her own family, could easily whisper in his ear. And you, you just had to say all those awful things in front of

Ivy…”

The argument fizzled out as they both fell silent.
