Chapter 1823

Isabelle drove extremely fast along the highway on the coastline. She would rather enjoy the drive while she could at top speed because she would get caught eventually. It was freezing cold while driving in the wind while it snowed. Even so, she did not mind the cold at all. It was half an hour later when she was finally arrested. She obediently sat on the bench at the police station while answering the police’s questions. Although the police were angry, they did not pressure her further since she gave full cooperation. They only lectured her a little and told her to contact her family members. Half an hour ago, her father told her not to contact anyone at home because he did not want her mother to know that she got into trouble again. Isabelle gave it a thought and decided to call her brother, Ralph. However, he did not answer her call. She then called Aunt Yara. Although Aunt Yara answered her call, she said she could not leave the company because of her urgency at work. Aunt Yara told her to look for someone else. She then called Chris for help. Chris had always been reachable everywhere, but he told her, “I just flew to your Uncle Carl’s place yesterday night. I can’t save you from trouble this time, so find your own way.” Previously, Chris helped to get her out of trouble many times. He always ended up cleaning after her mess. Even Chris was surprised at how he suddenly became Isabelle’s follower. At first, Chris could not accept it because of his pride. However, he changed his mind since Isabelle was just a little child. He stopped being bothered about it. Eventually, she called him to come and go whenever she wanted. Chris felt sad about it at first. Later on, it was Carl who comforted him and said, “You don’t have a child, right? Just pamper her as if she’s your own child. Why do you need to be prideful when you pamper your child?” Chris eventually accepted his fate because what Carl said made sense. Zachary forbade Isabelle from contacting her family for help. Her brother did not answer her call at all. Aunt Yara was busy with something else, and Chris was not in Espoo. Isabelle pondered about who else she could call. She suddenly remembered her group of friends, but no one picked up her call. The only one who replied in the group told her, “They are all still not awake after getting drunk last night.” Theperson who replied to her constantly quarreled with her. If she told her friend that she got arrested in the police station, her friend would definitely laugh at her for the whole year. Isabelle continued thinking about who else to call. The police were hurrying her. Suddenly, she remembered Cedar who left in the morning. She muttered to herself, “It’ll work if I look for Big Brother.” However, she did not have Cedar’s contact number! Oh. She suddenly remembered about her family group chat. The family group chats included her grandparents, parents, granny, uncles, aunts, Bambi, and Cedar. Sis Jade and Uncle Clifford were in the group too. Isabelle clicked into her family group and looked for the only user she never added. She clicked onto his profile and sent him a friend invitation. Two minutes later, Cedar accepted her request. Cedar immediately messaged her. [Cedar: ?] He asked Isabelle what was the matter. Isabelle explained her situation to Cedar. Half an hour later, Cedar showed up at the police station. His figure looked so tall and strong as he appeared at the police station. When the policeman saw that her family came, he lectured Cedar and said, “The girl is still underage. As her brother… You’re her brother, right? Or maybe you’re her uncle? Nevermind. As her family member, you should take care of her and not let her do such a dangerous thing again.” Isabelle lied, “He’s my uncle.” Hearing that, Cedar squinted at Isabelle. The policeman urged, “You both should go and pay the fine—” Cedar suddenly asked, “Who is your uncle?” Isabelle quickly grabbed Cedar’s arm and pulled him aside when she saw he wanted to expose her. She explained, “Earlier, they told me to contact Mom and Dad. I told them that my parents aren’t around, so they asked me to contact my elders. I told them I’ll contact my uncle. Big Brother, that’s why I have to call you my Uncle!” Earlier, the policeman heard from Isabelle that her uncle was coming to the police station to bail her. When he saw the man who arrived, he felt like he was too young to be her uncle. That was why he thought Cedar was Isabelle’s brother. Later on, he asked if Cedar was her uncle. The police felt like Isabelle lied to him. However, that was not important as long as they could send her away. Cedar simply ignored her. With his long legs, he walked to the police and said, “I’m her elder brother. Where should I pay the fine?” The man’s voice was so cold and emotionless. He gave off a strong aura with the way he spoke.
