Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1978

Ella had not expected this but felt a bit relieved.

"Don't worry, the police won't wrongfully accuse him if there's no evidence. He'll likely just spend a few days in custody and then be released."

She added, "Given how he treated you and never attended a single prenatal appointment, a couple of days in jail is the least he deserves. Don't feel guilty about it."

Besides, Mavis had gone through so much, and there was no point in pitying Nathaniel.

Later, Ella consoled Gavin and helped him with some emotional support.

The police cars eventually drove off, disappearing at the highway's intersection.

Mavis felt a deep sense of guilt, believing her personal issues with Nathaniel should not have involved Deltsburg's authorities.

If he spent two days in jail, she thought it seemed like an unfair consequence he did not deserve.

With this thought in mind, she decided to call Sheena.

Deltsburg was a country with high regard for women's rights.

The police had a particular aversion to men who abused women, and those who were found guilty of domestic violence faced severe contempt and punishment.

As soon as Nathaniel entered the station, he was met with disdain.

Mavis had made a bold move, and he hoped she prayed he would end up in prison. Otherwise, once he was out, he would certainly hold her accountable.

The hard bench was uncomfortable, and there were no blankets provided.

Nathaniel closed his eyes to rest until… he heard a series of rhythmic tapping against the iron bars.

A Deltsburg police officer stood outside and said, "Nathaniel Nicholls, someone is here to see you."
