Chapter 997: Did I Do the Right Thing?

Naturally, Sandy didn't want Stella to face Luca alone outside.

"Sandy, be good. Your sister knows what to do," Brandon, for once, asserted himself and carried Sandy directly into the bedroom.

"Brandon!" Sandy looked a bit annoyed at him.

Brandon placed her on the bed and leaned over to look at her, saying softly, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter, Sandy. I know you care about your sister, but it's best to let her handle it herself. Your involvement won't help."

Sandy stared at Brandon and said in a serious tone, "You have no idea how that jerk treated my sister!"

Brandon gently touched Sandy's face with his hand and said softly, "I know. He's nothing but scum. Your sister knows what she's doing. Now that you're pregnant, it's best for you not to get involved, and with me here, I won't let him bully your sister. Okay?"

Meeting Brandon's gaze, Sandy hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Then you go outside and keep an eye on him, don't let him bully my sister."

"Sandy, when your sister let us in, it's clear she doesn't want us to get involved in their affairs. If I go out now, it will make things awkward for her," Brandon explained softly.

Hearing Brandon's words, Sandy hesitated and felt that he had a point. She didn't say anything further.

When Meggie arrived and saw Luca, her heart skipped a beat.

There was even a hint of fear in her heart.

Meggie knew the kind of person Stella was. Even when Luca was involved with Alia back then, Stella never raised a hand against him.

So for Stella to take such drastic action, Meggie's first reaction was that Luca must have done something unforgivable to provoke such a response.

Thus, Meggie stared at Luca with a cold look and quickly walked toward Stella, who was standing at the door. "Stella, are you okay?"

Stella looked at Meggie coming over, glanced at Luca's face, and whispered, "His injuries..."

"It's fine. He won't die." Before Stella could finish, Meggie interrupted, looking at her concernedly. "Are you okay? What did he do?"

As Stella was about to speak, the elevator door opened again.

Seeing the police stepping out, Stella's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

When Meggie saw the police, her expression changed completely. She glanced at Stella, then at Luca.

Finally, Meggie walked up to Luca and asked in a low voice, "What did you do?"

Luca met Meggie's gaze, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "I forced Stella last night."

The words caused Meggie to lose her temper, and she slapped Luca across the face. "Are you crazy?"

At this time, the newly arrived police officer looked at Luca and Meggie before asking, "Who is Sandy?" Hearing Sandy's name, Stella took a step forward. "She's my sister, and she made the call to the police." "Then you must be Luca?" The police officer turned to Luca.

Luca didn't deny it and nodded, "Yes, it's me."

"We received a report from Sandy saying you trespassed and assaulted Miss Stella. Is that true?" The police officer asked.

Luca glanced at Stella's face and then nodded to the police officer, "Yes, it's true."

"Then come with us."

Luca took a step forward, wanting to say something to Stella, but in the end, he didn't speak and followed the police into the elevator.

Meggie didn't follow, nor did she explain or say much.

After Luca was taken away by the police, Stella looked at Meggie and apologized, "Meggie, I'm sorry."

Meggie turned to look at Stella, about to say something, but when she saw the marks on Stella's neck, the words at the tip of her tongue couldn't be uttered.

After hesitating for a while, Meggie said, "It's his own fault. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize."

After saying that, Meggie stepped forward and hugged Stella, saying softly, "Stella, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not guiding him well."

Their parents had passed away, and Meggie had taken care of Luca since then. Luca's actions now made Meggie feel that she had an inescapable responsibility.

With Stella in her arms, Meggie struggled for a while before finally speaking, "It's okay. He's responsible for what he did. Even if Sandy didn't call the police, I would have reported it to the police." Stella listened to Meggie and chuckled softly, hugging Meggie back. "I know. You stay here with Brandon and grab something to eat. I'm a bit tired, so I'll rest for a while."

After Sandy watched Stella walk away, she hesitated for a moment before standing up and calling after her, "Sis..."

Stella stopped and turned to look at Sandy, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

Sandy walked a few steps closer to Stella and reached out to embrace her. She whispered softly in her ear, "Sis, I'll always be by your side, always and always."

Hearing Sandy's words, Stella smiled lightly, hugged Sandy back, and said, "I know. You and Brandon can replace something to eat casually. I'm a bit tired, so I'll go to sleep for a while."

Sandy released Stella and said, "Sure, you rest for a while. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be home all day."

Stella nodded, turned, and went back to the bedroom.

After Stella returned to the room, Sandy's smile faded.

Brandon stepped forward and took Sandy's hand, saying softly, "Give her some time to calm down."

Sandy sat down on the sofa with Brandon and asked quietly, "Brandon, do you think I did the right thing just now?"

Brandon looked at Sandy and asked, "What do you mean? Calling the police or something else?"

Sandy replied, "Calling the police."

In fact, Sandy could tell that although Stella never mentioned Luca all these years, she must have deep feelings towards him. Last night's incident was too much, and even though Stella hated him, she didn't plan to pursue anything. If Sandy hadn't called the police, this matter might have been left unresolved.
