Chapter 44 A Brother's Debt

• Lily let out a shaky sigh of relief as Dimitry exchanged a few quiet words with the inspector and handed over the cash for Trent’s bail. The transaction was smooth—a clear display of Dimitry’s influence. The inspector didn’t ask questions; he simply pocketed the money, stamped a few documents, and waved them on their way.
• Trent emerged from the holding area a few minutes later, his usual cocky smirk plastered on his face. His disheveled hair and slightly wrinkled shirt were the only signs of his brief stint in a cell. He seemed more amused than remorseful, his swagger unaffected by the situation.
• “Let’s go,” Lily said tersely, her heels clicking against the tiled floor as they exited the police station.
