Chapter 7 - Brenda Smug Smiles While Handcuffed by Officers
Officer Miller walked over to Brenda, pulling out a pair of heavy steel handcuffs from his utility belt.
“Ma'am, stand up and place your hands behind your back; you’re being detained for questioning,” Officer Miller instructed.
Brenda stopped crying instantly, her tear-stained face twisting into an arrogant, knowing smirk.
“You’re making a massive mistake, officer; my family owns half the commercial real estate in this county,” Brenda warned.
The cold steel cuffs clicked into place around her wrists with a sharp, definitive metallic sound.
“I don't care who your family is; holding a four-year-old upside down by his ankles is a felony,” Miller replied flatly.
As they marched her toward the hallway stairs, Brenda locked eyes with Luke one final time.
“This house, the bank accounts, and Toby will all belong to me by the time trial starts,” she whispered venomously.
Luke didn't flinch, watching her descend the staircase under the strict escort of the county deputies.
