Rosalynn deftly dodged Brian's intended kiss with an expression of determination.

“I need to take this call first."

She knew Hutton wouldn't ring her at this hour without a reason. It likely involved Eleanor.

"Who's on the line?" Brian, halted midway, couldn't hide the discontent coloring his handsome face.

“It's Hutton."

Fending off Brian, Rosalynn hopped down from the vanity and picked up Hutton's call.

“Hutton.”

“Rosalynn, Eleanor's been apprehended. She tried to kill the waiter to keep her secret, but my guys caught her red-handed."

His words sparked a light in Rosalynn's eyes. She found herself involuntarily Looking at Brian.

Brian's eyebrows knitted together.

What? Was Hutton saying Eleanor had been arrested?

“Understood. I'll head to the station immediately.”

Ending the call, Rosalynn turned to Brian, an intrigued look on her face.

"What did Hutton tell you?" Brian inquired.

“Eleanor has been taken into custody and she's currently at the police station."

So, Eleanor really was under arrest!

As Brian was about to probe further, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Edwin.

A hunch told him this call was Likely about Eleanor.

Upon answering, Edwin's voice came through.

"Mr. Hughes, the police contacted me. Eleanor has been arrested. She's asking to see you."

Meanwhile, at the police station. Eleanor sat in her holding cell, pallid and silent. She wasn't responding to the officers’ questions.

Aware of the rumors linking her to Brian, the police officer didn't press her for answers for now and left her alone.
