Chapter 868
Hearing the guard’s words, the spark of hope reignited in the eyes of Diana and Rosemary.
A big shot? A big shot wanted to see them? It had to be someone from the royal family! A high-ranking official was here to get them out!
Yes. That must be it.
Diana and Rosemary exchanged a knowing glance, their shared understanding flashing between them. They quickly followed the guard.
Soon, they arrived at the glass-walled visitation room. The moment Diana stepped inside, her expression soured. This was her second time here. The first time, she had come to see Caitlin. Back then, she had been the master of Caitlin’s fate, and Caitlin had been the prisoner.
But now, the roles were reversed. She was the one in chains. It was pathetic. Utterly pathetic. This was a scenario Diana had never imagined, not even in her wildest nightmares.
Her only hope now was that this ‘big shot’ would get them out quickly.
The mother and daughter sat down in the chairs in front of the glass, their hearts pounding with nervous anticipation. Who was this powerful person coming to see them?
Thump-
Just then, the door on the other side of the glass opened. The newly appointed royal police commissioner, Mr. Sanger, entered the room.
Seeing Sanger, Rosemary and Diana quickly straightened their torn clothes and stood up, their eyes fixed anxiously on the entrance behind him.
Sanger bowed respectfully. “Miss Gonzales, this way, please p>
Miss Gonzales? The name struck Rosemary and Diana like a physical blow. They were frozen in place.
Could the Miss Gonzales Sanger was referring to possibly be Freya?
If it was Caitlin… what would happen to them? Caitlin would never let them go!
A wave of pure terror washed over both of them. No! It couldn’t be! No matter how far Freya’s influence reached, it couldn’t possibly extend into the royal police headquarters.
Diana gripped Rosemary’s hand, her voice a harsh whisper. “Don’t be afraid, Rosemary. It’s not her. That Miss Gonzales can’t be that little bitch from the Gonzales family p>
It couldn’t be. It just couldn’t.
Rosemary nodded, trying to believe her.
Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed in the air. Diana and Rosemary looked up in unison.
In that instant, the hope in their eyes was replaced by sheer, unadulterated panic.
Caitlin walked slowly into the room. And she was not alone. Trailing behind her was a large group of people: Stuart, Hannah, Keira, and all eight of the Richards family’s uncles.
The small visitation room was instantly crowded, filled with the imposing presence of the united Richards and Gonzales families. Their Collective aura was overwhelming.

uncles, all strong, po
The eight Richards
uncles, all strong, powerfully built men, looked particularly menacing. Just looking at them was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.
Carey had wanted to come as well, but after discussing it, Caitlin, her father, and her uncles had decided against it. They didn’t want her to be re-traumatized by the sight of Diana and Rosemary. Instead, the eight Richards wives and Celeste were Currently with Carey, indulging her in a massive shopping spree.
Seeing the Gonzales and Richards families assembled before them, Rosemary began to tremble uncontrollably. She clutched her head and let out a piercing, terrified scream.
“Ahhh p>
She knew. She knew that today, they would not be spared. A single punch from each of Carey’s brothers would be enough to kill her.
Regret. At that moment, Rosemary
was consumed by it. If she had
known the Richards family was this formidable she should have
killed Carey from the start, eliminating the threat before it ever
had a chance to grow.
