Right away, the chief shook his head in disappointment and defeat. He couldn't say anything meaningful anymore all his power and authority had vanished in an instant.That was when they literally put the handcuffs on him, clicking them tightly around his wrists.The same thing happened to the officer that Tyler had fought with at the house. They also put handcuffs on him as well. His face was filled with shock and disbelief as the cold metal locked around his wrists.At that moment, seeing that the chief was being escorted toward the door, and that the other police officer was also being led away in handcuffs, Evelyn and her mother couldn't stay silent anymore.“Wait! We don't understand what's going on here!” Evelyn shouted desperately. “What the hell is happening?”Her mother stepped forward, her voice shaking with confusion and anger.“Isn't Tyler supposed to be the one facing the law? Why are they arresting the police instead? For what reason? Why?”Evelyn's eyes were wide with p

The black sedan pulled up to the curb as the late afternoon sun cast golden shadows across the newly constructed building. Princess Sophia stepped out first, her heels clicking against the pristine sidewalk, followed closely by Uncle Festus's wife, who was practically glowing with excitement.As they approached the entrance, Princess Sophia's eyes widened in genuine amazement. The restaurant's exterior was stunning floor-to-ceiling windows gleamed in the sunlight, revealing glimpses of elegant chandeliers and rich mahogany furnishings within.“Oh my goodness,” Princess Sophia breathed, her hand instinctively reaching for the glass door handle before stopping herself. “This place looks very, very put together. Everything looks so very well arranged.”She turned in a slow circle, taking in every detail from the hand-carved wooden sign bearing the restaurant's name to the carefully manicured planters filled with fresh herbs.“I can just imagine the incredible amount of work that has bee

Immediately, Princess Sophia nodded her head gracefully, her royal training evident in her poised response.“No problem at all,” she said with a warm smile. “I'm excited to see what you've prepared.”They stepped through the ornate glass doors and into the restaurant's main dining area. The moment they crossed the threshold, the rich aroma of expertly prepared cuisine filled their senses.Uncle Festus's wife paused to look around with obvious pride, taking in the stunning scene before them. Her friend had clearly outdone herself the entire space was neatly arranged with meticulous attention to detail. Various elaborate dishes were lined up along elegant serving tables, each one looking extraordinarily beautiful and professionally presented.Crystal glasses caught the soft lighting, silverware gleamed against pristine white tablecloths, and fresh flowers adorned every surface. The restaurant looked like something from a high-end culinary magazine.“Oh my goodness,” Uncle Festus's wife

Princess Sophia's training in reading people and situations was serving her well. Something deep in her intuition was screaming that there was definitely something dangerous in that original food spread."They probably thought I wasn't going to literally invite Uncle Festus's wife to eat alongside me," she reasoned silently. "They assumed I would taste everything alone, which would have made their plan work perfectly.""But now that I've insisted she join me in the tasting, they're panicking and want to completely change the scenario to protect themselves."Princess Sophia felt a cold satisfaction wash over her as she realized she had inadvertently exposed their plot.However, she decided to play along with their charade perfectly, maintaining her gracious royal composure.“No problem, no problem at all,” she said with a warm, encouraging smile. “Since you really want to start everything from scratch and show us your absolute best work, I don't have any objection to that whatsoever.

Immediately upon hearing what Princess Sophia had just said, Uncle Festus's wife visibly hesitated and shifted uncomfortably in her seat, because she completely hadn't anticipated such a direct and pointed question coming her way.Her mind raced for a moment before she quickly responded.“No, no, no—nothing like that at all,” she said with an awkward laugh, waving her hands dismissively. “I haven't been pursuing any additional training or education in those traditional healing arts.”Uncle Fester's wife's expression became somewhat defensive.“She–I mean, I—don't even have the foundational knowledge or proper background to undertake that kind of intensive study. That sort of advanced learning is really quite overwhelming and honestly beyond my current capabilities.”She fidgeted slightly with her hands.“Even if I genuinely wanted to learn and dedicate myself to it, I have to be realistic about my own limitations. I recognize my abilities or rather, my lack thereof, and I simply haven
