"Alright, let's go now."
Chloe's eyes widened, "W—What do you mean by that? You want to accompany me?"
"Obviously," Vernon replied. He released his embrace and grabbed the car key from the drawer. "I won't let you go alone. It's too dangerous."
"But your safety—"
"Yours is more important to me," Vernon said. He grabbed Chloe's wrist, pulled her to leave the penthouse, and went straight to the basement, where the car was parked.
Vernon asked Chloe the address that the 'officer' sent just now. He was relieved that it was an actual police department near Judith and Chelsea's apartment.
Vernon drove the car while Chloe sat next to him in silence. Chloe lowered her head, ashamed because she didn't expect Vernon to tag in.
She just thought that Vernon would allow her to leave alone. She'd use his car or at least grab Uber.
