Chapter 21 Brother and Sister
Seryna’s question gave Zachary pause. He thought, “She doesn’t know Jeremiah, her brother?”
The punch made Jeremiah shiver in anger. He yelled in disbelief, “Seryna! I’m your brother! You don’t recognize me?”
Seryna stared at him with a frown. Her tone was aloof. “You’re my brother? I don’t believe you. No brother would kidnap his sister.
“If you’re my brother, Dad will not tolerate you! He must be mad at raising an evil man like you!”
Jeremiah thought, “She’s blaming me and Dad together.”
He looked at Seryna’s delicate features and believed she was an inapproachable troublemaker.
“Seryna, don’t play coy. You look fine. Let it go. Can’t you see how pitiful they are?”
Furious, Seryna chuckled and looked at Jeremiah, her gaze boring into him. “I was kidnapped and beaten up. They humiliated me and tried to assault me. I barely escaped. But my brother is telling me that my kidnappers are pitiful, so I should let it go?
“Pitiful? How?”
Jeremiah’s brows knitted tightly. His handsome face turned dark.
He turned to the three men not far away. They were looking at him, pleading with their gazes.

Chapter 21 Brother and Sister
Jeremiah said to Zachary, “Officer, the whole thing is a

misunderstanding. Seryna has been away from home for a month. I sent them to bring her home, not to kidnap her.”
Zachary squinted his eyes. “Sorry. We received a call and found Ms. Willard. Her hands and legs were tied, and her face had bruises. This is a kidnapping case. We’re investigating it.”
Jeremiah’s heart sank. Only if Seryna agreed to drop the charge, the case would be thrown out of the window.
Seryna, you’re so vicious. Don’t you have a heart? These men have families. Now, they’re being framed because of you.”
Jeremiah’s tone was authoritative as he sneered at Seryna.
Seryna got it. Jeremiah was a selfish bastard who was only trying to protect Tehila.
Zachary was amused by Jeremiah’s demand. “Making kidnapping sound righteous. You’re a first.
“Mr. Willard, look at the videos. You’ll know who’s the vicious one.”
“Humph! Seryna calls the police to get our attention. I know it. Seryna, these men are my friends. This is just an accident.”
Seryna ignored Jeremiah. Talking to him was a taste of time.
“Officer, I was standing on the sidewalk. They took me away by force and verbally assaulted me. It was all this man’s order. He said he was my brother and acted like he was the kindest and most forgiving man in the world. I think he’ll be willing to go to prison for his friends. After all, he’s so nice to his friends.”
Of course, the law wouldn’t allow it.
