Chapter 153
“Are you going to bear the consequences if the criminal escapes?” Liam was a little angry.
Nina’s case had gone cold for three years. There had to be an explanation.
Furthermore, with everything that Snow had done, she could not be allowed to continue roaming free.
“I’ll take responsibility!” Stephen felt like his heart was being pierced and was bleeding endlessly. “If she’s truly guilty, I… I’ll personally cuff her.”
It took him all his courage and strength to utter those words.
“Don’t forget what you just said.” Liam pulled him forward.
They then approached Snow.
“Snow.”
Her body trembled when she heard Stephen’s voice. She raised her head to look at him. Why are you here? Did you finish your business in Aqua City?”
Stephen did not seem to hear her question and asked anxiously, “Did you…”
Snow interrupted him, “Yes. Everything they say is true. I’ve hurt many people.”
She clenched her fists and raised them slowly.
It was as if she was waiting for the handcuffs!
Boom!
Stephen felt like lightning had just struck him. His face turned as pale as a sheet, and he stumbled back several steps.
When he barely managed to steady himself, his face was already dripping with sweat.
It was true!
It was all true!
Snow was a criminal!
“How could this be…” Stephen almost broke down. “Why did you do all those things?”
Snow did not respond.
However, Stephen seemed to hear the answer. His mind buzzed.
Liam looked at Stephen and said coldly, “Don’t forget what you said earlier.”
Stephen’s eyes reddened. He trembled as he walked toward Snow, painfully pulling out the

handcuffs.
At that moment, he felt like the handcuffs weighed hundreds of pounds.
“Do it.” Liam said, “Don’t forget who you are, and don’t think of letting her go.”
“Do it,” Snow said as well. “I’ve been ready for this to happen for a long time. If it’s you who arrests me, then that’s good.”
Stephen lowered his head, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart mercilessly.
It hurt!
It hurt so much that tears fell from his eyes.
At that moment, memories of him and Snow flashed in his mind.
༦I,
“I won’t let you get hurt.”
“Don’t worry, Snow. You still have me. I’ll make sure that you’re happy.‘
He had promised that he would protect her and give her happiness, but now…
He had to cuff her himself.
He became the one who hurt her!
He became the person who ruined her happiness!
Clack.
The handcuffs locked into place.
Stephen almost passed out. He felt a piercing pain travel throughout his body, down to his very soul.
Snow said softly, “Don’t hate yourself. You did well this time.”
Stephen’s tears fell freely. He shook his head furiously, wanting to say something, but no
words came out.
Liam walked over and led Snow away.
Thud.
Stephen sat on the ground powerlessly. It was the first time he felt so small and helpless.
For half a day, he stumbled in a daze. He returned to the Lowes‘ residence, lay on the sofa, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Rachel and George noticed his abnormal state.
“Would
you like some water?” Rachel offered him a glass of water.

Smack!
Stephen slapped the glass to the ground, shouting, “Leave me alone! It’s all your fault. Snow has been arrested. Are you happy now?”
Rachel was stunned, her eyes instantly reddening. What did she do this time? She was just concerned about him but was scolded again. She ran away in tears.
George did not know who he should console first. The situation left him with a headache.
After a while, he went over to sit beside Stephen and asked, “What happened?”
