| sighed silently, feeling a little helpless.
Theo pulledbehind him and took a step forward His words carried a sense of power, "If you folks have doubts
about Serena's death, feel free to appeal to the court. I'm afraid you can't afford the consequences of making

company. You even nearly hurt my pregnant wife."
