Chapter 930:
Reflecting further, Janey’s initial pity for Addie morphed into concern. Addie seemed like a ticking time bomb that might cause more harm than just to the neighborhood pets if not handled carefully.
“Mom, your sharp instincts are a blessing,” John said.
Janey’s face took on a grave expression as she exclaimed, “Enough!” Then, pondering their next steps, she asked, “How do we go about rescuing her p>
Janey’s worries were justified; she knew that even if the Bowen family intervened directly, the Morgan family might still refuse to let Addie go.
Thus, an impartial mediator was necessary.
Simultaneously, Janey and John said, “We should involve the police.” Both were taken aback by their synchronous suggestion, sharing a smile over their aligned thoughts.
Once Janey contacted the police, the influence of the Bowen family ensured a prompt and serious response. Officers swiftly located Addie in the Morgan family house’s basement.
As the police escorted her away, Addie sobbed uncontrollably. Everyone in the Morgan family, except Fred—who was obviously slow-witted, was brought in for questioning.
Upon learning that a neighbor had filed the police report because they believed the Morgans were mistreating Addie, Joseph nearly burst into suspicious laughter.
Slamming the table, he shouted, “Look carefully! Where is the abuse? Did she sustain any injuries? No, she did not. She wielded scissors against my son, thrusting them into his thigh. He might have been disabled! All we did was give her a timeout. How is that criminal p>
“The law clearly states that confining someone against their will constitutes unlawful imprisonment p>
“So what? She attacked my son, and that goes unpunished p>
“Should our findings confirm that she indeed assaulted your son, she will face charges for intentional harm. But it’s our job to determine legality, not yours. Administering your own punishment is illegal p>

Joseph clenched his jaw and fell silent.
Before long, everything was sorted out, and Addie was proven to be at fault, leading to her detention.
Informed of the outcome, Janey responded, “If she’s legally at fault, we must abide by the law p>
“But she has requested to see you p>
The police figured that since Janey had gone to such lengths to save Addie, it meant she cared about her. So, surely, she would come to visit, right?
Janey didn’t want to see Addie, but she felt both of them needed closure. In the end, she agreed.
“Mom, are you actually going to meet her?” John asked with concern. In his eyes, Addie was dangerous—she mistreated animals and even stabbed her brother to escape her dire circumstances.
Joseph and Kiana were clearly up to no good, but Fred was innocent, and Addie had hurt him more than once.
It was clear that Addie was capable of extreme actions to achieve her goals.
Yelena had diagnosed the situation accurately; Addie was struggling with a severe mental disorder.
“I will handle this,” Janey replied. “She poses no threat from behind bars. I’ll make her understand that I see her true nature. This will be my last help extended to her, after which we’ll sever ties p>
Despite Janey’s resolution, John couldn’t shake his concerns about her safety.
