"You bitch! How dare you make demands after the chaos you've caused at your sister's party?!" Sylvia barked, her voice trembling with rage.
"I can't believe this is happening, Mom. What are we going to do? They took Paul!" Dina cried hysterically, collapsing to the ground as Sylvia rushed to help her back to her feet.
Rain stood unfazed as Tim Clayton, pale and visibly shaken, replied weakly, "Alright." His eyes remained fixed on Paul, who was being escorted by the police, his family trailing behind in a frenzy.
"Tim!" Sylvia snapped, her voice sharp. But to Rain's surprise, her father turned to Sylvia with an icy glare. "Zip your mouth, Sylvia!" he ordered.
Then, turning back to Rain, he spoke more calmly, "Go now and take your Aunt with you. I'll come for her soon."
