After a grueling two and a half hours, the doctor finally emerged.
"How's my daughter doing?"
"Your daughter's stable for now, but Ms. Lynette is quite frail. She'll need some serious R&R."
Yuri breathed a sigh of relief and instructed his butler to handle the hospital admission paperwork.
"Let's head to the police station!"
That reporter dared to lay hands on Brittany? Did he have a death wish in Craneville?
Mabel found herself being dragged into the police station, utterly bewildered.
The police examined her camera. It had taken a hit, but was still functional.
It had fully recorded Mabel's failed attempt to force an interview on Brittany and her subsequent shove.
"Mabel, do you realize because of that shove, Brittany's in the ER right now?"
Only then did Mabel start to panic. "It wasn't on purpose. I just wanted an interview, and she wrecked my camera!" She was just doing her job. How was this her fault?
It was Brittany who was being unreasonable!
If Brittany hadn't smashed her camera, why would she ever push her?
"Brittany has every right to refuse an interview!"
The officer tapped the desk, "The Lynette family's here. You'd better watch yourself."
Bang!
Yuri burst into the interrogation room, grabbed Mabel by the collar, "Who gave you the right to touch my daughter?"
He wouldn't even let a fly harm Brittany!
And this reporter dared to push her!
Mabel still believed she was in the right: "She smashed my camera-"
"So what if she smashed your camera? My daughter's not a public figure. What makes you think she has to cooperate with you?"
"She disrespected me!" Mabel's face turned red with anger. "If she had cooperated, would I have "
"So, you're saying the whole world has to bow down to you? Who do you think you are? Believe me, with just one word from me, you won't step foot outside this police station!" Yuri hadn't encountered such shamelessness in years.
As if the whole world revolved around her, as if her needs were the only ones that mattered, and everyone else had to comply unconditionally.
Relying on the presence of the police, Mabel stood her ground, "This is a police station. If you dare lay a finger on me, you won't get off easy either!"
It's the 21st century, after all. We have laws!
"Let's see if they dare to make a peep if I decide to end you right now!"
Yuri couldn't believe her audacity, and her complete disregard for the consequences!
Even if the police couldn't touch him, if anything happened to Brittany, he'd go to the ends of the earth to make Mabel pay!
Mabel struggled, "Help"
Everyone else seemed to think Mabel had lost her mind. They turned a blind eye, pretending not to notice.
Seeing Yuri and realizing the power he wielded, Mabel finally felt fear, "I was wrong, truly wrong. I won't do it again..."
"I didn't mean it, she broke my camera!"
As Yuri watched her tears flow, he let her go, his eyes narrowing, "I'll be contacting the Citizen's Gazette for an explanation. I'd like to know what gives you the right to demand my daughter's cooperation!" "No, please, let me go. If this gets out, I'm finished. I still want to be a journalist."
She had sacrificed so much for her career; she couldn't accept defeat now.
Yuri was unmoved, "You did what you did. Now, you'll face the consequences."
Mabel tried to resist, but the officers held her down.
The dust from the floor filled her nostrils, and it was then Mabel realized she hadn't just crossed anyone, but the wealthiest man in Craneville!
She collapsed, her face ashen with fear.
