Benita was at the police station today,she requested to see Jasper and she was given some minutes.
"Babe" she called anxiously " are you ok? They didn't do anything to you right?" She asked .
"I informed your mom already, she's going to be in the city tomorrow,I don't know why she didn't act immediately" she said.
"Calm down, I'm the one inside here not you" Jasper said looking quite annoyed.
"I will be out tomorrow,what about that bastard?" He asked, changing the topic immediately.
"I've seen him since then,I went to school today but he came late today and I didn't even get the chance to talk to him" she pouted .
"That bastard,I will show him when I get out of here" Jasper gnashed his teeth angrily.
"But, who's he? Those blind police even arrested you because of him,I hate that guy" Benita said hatefully.
"Don't ask me about his family,I will make him regret making me sleep in that cell for some many days" Jasper promised.
"Your time's up lady" a policeman came over to tell her.
"What do you mean? Can't you give us more minutes, that's unfair,you guys didn't even have any evidence against him,is this what you called justice??" She yelled.
"Ma'am,step out " the man replied calmly without taking any offense to her words.
"Go with them,don't worry " Jasper said calmly" ok babe,take care,I will come over tomorrow to escort you home" she smiled and left reluctantly.

Lyon glanced at Mr Avi who refused to look away from him for a second and wondered why.
"Young master,can you at least stop fighting on your own until your injuries are completely healed?" He asked.
"I wasn't injured this time around " Lyon replied calmly and Mr Avi sighed softly.
"Amber came to the city just to apologize? I don't believe it" Mr Avi suddenly mentioned something completely out of topic.
"Me too,but she looked quite sincere" he replied " stop blackmailing their companies but they can't partner with us again " Lyon said and Mr Avi nodded.
"Also,the restaurant that was destroyed by those silly men,start a renovation for it tomorrow and try to expand it" he added casually.
"May I ask why young master?" Mr Avi said cautiously.
"Even if the Norman family's businesses are already large,they belonged to the past heirs that struggled,I also have to start from somewhere to add to the family's fortune " Lyon replied logically.
Mr Avi smiled and nodded secretly,as expected of the man the former mistress raised.
" I will see to that immediately " Mr Avi said "also… don't worry,I will decide on that later" Lyon changed his mind.
Mr Avi nodded again and left the sitting room.
Lyon went up to the swimming pool in the compound to look around it for no particular reason.
Suddenly,a guard rushed over and whispered something in his ear, he raised an eyebrow surprised before nodding.
Soon, Amber came into view looking at the house in awe and he glanced at her indifferently.
"Why are you here?" He asked ,his voice really cold and distanced.
He could still remember how this woman tried to seduce him and even stole his first kiss, it's really annoying to him.
"Thank you" she bowed deeply and Lyon frowned, wondering why she's saying that.
"My dad called and said we have been removed from the Norman family's blacklist,thank you very much" she said.
"So fast?" Lyon thought, surprised by Mr Avi's efficiency.
"Don't thank me,I only did that because you bothered me" he replied bluntly.
"I'm sorry for trying to seduce you before,I knew I was wrong,I just thought you would forgive me if I gave you my body, I'm really ashamed of my behavior" her head hung down sadly.
"That's ok, I'm not angry,just leave when you are ready to," he said, deciding against standing there with her for longer.
He turned around to leave but her question stopped him " do you have… a girlfriend?" She asked, sounding really timidly.
"...." He turned around and stared at her silently.
She awkwardly shifted on her feet " it's not what you think,I just want to know, I'm sorry if I sound too blunt" she said hurriedly.
"No,I don't have, we ..broke up" he decided to tell her anyway.
Amber nearly jumps up in joy but contains her happiness " ok then,I will leave now then" she said hoping he will ask her to stay.
"Then go" he replied indifferently and Amber could only force a smile and left reluctantly.
