Diamond elbowed the policeman beside her, giving a silent instruction to beat the shit out of this pervert.
'Visit (Mybo x novel. com) to read, pls!',
But before the policeman could grab his collar again, Gustaff quickly replied, "I—I will say it!"
"Good, then say it, who are those women?"
"They're the parents of two students here, Jada Jackson and Maya Glasgow. I don't know what happened between them, but they've always been hostile to Chloe Gray," Gustaff explained.
The answer satisfied Diamond but didn't really answer anything about her mission.
In fact, it only gave her even more homework to do to help Chloe.
"Okay, I think that's all, now give me your ID card," Diamond said.
"Y—You can't do that! Why do you need my ID card anyway?!" Gustaff became defensive in an instant.
"Just give it, or—" Diamond glanced at the burly policeman again.
Gustaff gritted his teeth and gave his ID card to Diamond.
Diamond took a picture of the ID card and handed it back to Gustaff, "I have your information. If you dare run your mouth and tell anyone about our meeting here, then I won't hesitate to make your life a living hell."
Gustaff shuddered as he noticed that Diamond wasn't playing around with the threat. So he nodded reluctantly and promised not to tell anyone.
"Good, follow me, officer," Diamond said, giving order to the big burly man.
They entered their cars respectively, and Diamond told the policeman to drive away from the school first before they talked.
After they were at least a few kilometers away, their cars stopped. The policeman came out of his car to enter Diamond's instead.
"So, what is it all about, sis?" the policeman asked.
Diamond sighed, "It's Chloe."
"Oh, your best friend, Chloe? What happened to her?"
"Yeah, she got attacked by someone. But she's a very guarded person, and always scared of confrontation. So she tries to say that it's nothing," Diamond replied. "My boss and I decide to investigate what truly happened, because there's no way I'm gonna let my homegirl get hurt."
"I see, do you need my help for other things then?"
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
"Not anymore. I'll continue investigating it myself," Diamond refused the offer. She patted the policeman's shoulder, who was actually her little brother. "Anyway, thanks for the help, Damien. I won't be able to extract some information from that creep."
"Anytime, sis," Damien said. "I'm going to work again. Tell me if you need something, oh and— tell me if Chloe is interested in a policeman. I fell in love after you showed me your selfie with her."
"HAH! As if! I won't let you do anything to my homegirl!" Diamond yelled, and Damien responded with a laugh as he returned to his car.
The police car honked at her before driving away.
Diamond might be saying no to her little brother, but she was considering whether she should introduce Chloe to her Big brother.
Diamond was close to Damien, and she knew he was a good man who would help Chloe heal. Despite his big build, Damien was a patient man and had been single for at least a year after breaking up with his long-term high school girlfriend.
Diamond showed her little bro a selfie she took with Chloe. In that selfie, Chloe smiled sheepishly while Diamond winked at the camera. Chloe looked like a shy angel in the selfie, no wonder Damien was interested.
"Honestly, I'd love her to date Damien instead. I think they will be a perfect match. But I don't want the whole family to be ruined by that one person," Diamond said.
She knew well how much influence her boss had. If she took Chloe away from him, he would probably go on a rampage and ruin her entire family's livelihood for the sake of destroying things and appeasing his anger.
Her boss might look calmer and reasonable on the surface, but that was simply because he had reunited with Chloe.
He was— and still, the same heartless bastard regarding his business and would stay the same as long as Chloe wasn't around.
"He is destroying all kinds of emotional connection to anyone, working as if everyone around him are enemies who are about to get him," Diamond murmured as she assessed Vernon's behavior.
"As much as I despise him, I think he needs Chloe more than anyone," Diamond said. "If it's not her, then I don't know who else can fill the void in his heart."
"And Chloe too— home girl needs a powerful man to protect her from her scum ex-husband. Vernon is all she needs. He has money, influence, and he is obviously in love with her the whole time."
Diamond rolled her eyes and remembered all the women her boss spent the night with. They were all white women with chestnut hair, doe eyes, and sweet smiles.
It was his type, he said. Which was total bullshit in Diamond's eyes.
"Meh, I think you're just in love with Chloe the whole time, and you're sleeping with women similar to her as a way to appease yourself and fill the emptiness in your heart," Diamond said ruthlessly.
At first, Diamond didn't understand her boss' obsession with this type of woman. If Chloe Gray was that beautiful, surely she would be a supermodel, not a housewife, by now.
That was… until Diamond met Chloe in person.
She was thin, fragile, but beautiful indeed.
She might not be a supermodel-level beauty, but there was something about her.
Something that made Diamond feel safe and comfortable whenever she was with Chloe, which was also why she claimed Chloe to be her best friend so quickly.
Because her gut told her that Chloe was a good woman, simple as that, and she quickly understood Vernon's obsession with her.
Because only a woman like Chloe could be the safe home for Vernon, a woman who would soothe his raging heart and make him more docile.
A woman he could call home.
"Sadly, none of them can really portray the image of Chloe, that's why you keep going from one woman to another as long as you can find Chloe's replacement, right, Boss?"
