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.

He did not care, though, and found a corner to sit in, preparing himself for a series of interrogations.

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.

As night fell, the interrogation room grew cold and damp.

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."

"Fine. It's one more day in jail. I'm sure Mavis will be thrilled."

Sheena's frown deepened. She thought Nathaniel desperately needed some discipline.

However, Elliot had other concerns and asked, "Mavis claims you abused her. Is that true?"

Nathaniel seemed unfazed. "If she says it's true, then it must be."

Elliot was tempted to give him a kick. "That's a serious charge here in Deltsburg. Are you really willing to face three years in prison over this?"

Nathaniel laughed, a touch of bitterness in his voice.

"Three years in jail isn't worth it. By then, Mavis' new guy's kid can already walk and talk."

The term "new guy" caught Sheena and Elliot off guard.

They exchanged puzzled glances, trying to make sense of Nathaniel's confusing statements.
