You should leave now." Robert's intervention immediately made Teressa realize that something wasn't right. She finally understood that the atmosphere had shifted in an unsettling way. "Ms. Caldwell is-" Teressa tried again.
Carlisle shot a cold glare at her, silencing her instantly. He then pulled Katrina closer, ignoring her attempts to break free, and leaned down to whisper threateningly, "Let her go, and don't makeangry. You know the consequences if you don't." As Katrina looked up at Carlisle, a chill ran through her. She clenched her fists, staring deeply at him. Carlisle's patience was clearly running thin. Suddenly, he raised his hand.
Robert noticed the gesture and immediately signaled to the bodyguards, who began to move toward Teressa. Katrina's heart skipped a beat as she realized what was happening. She glared at Carlisle. "If you have a problem, take it up with me. Don't drag anyone else into this." Carlisle smirked, running his fingers through her hair. "If you don't listen, I'll have to resort to other methods. She's been with you for years, hasn't she? Do you really want to see her hurt?" Katrina was so frustrated that she almost shouted, "Carlisle, don't forget where we are! How dare you do this in front of the police station?" Carlisle scoffed, looking at her disdainfully, as if mocking her naivety. "Have you forgotten how you ended up at the police station tonight? I'm done playing these games with you. Get her out of here and cwith me. Otherwise, neither of you will be leaving tonight," he warned.
Katrina saw the cold determination in his eyes. She knew he wasn't joking. If she insisted on leaving with Teressa, both of them would likely be trapped here for the night.
She swallowed her anger and asked, "Can I at least say a few words to her?" Sensing Katrina's willingness to compromise, Carlisle nodded and released his grip on her.
At his signal, Robert stepped back and motioned for the other bodyguards to move aside.

Katrina approached Teressa, who appeared visibly anxious. Her face om had paled, and she clutched her bag aled, and tightly. As Ratrina drew nearer Teressa softly called out, "MS.
Caldwell." Katrina gently patted her shoulder in reassurance. "Are you alright?" Teressa nodded, still glancing nervously at Robert, who stood watching them closely. She whispered, "Ms.
Caldwell, what's going on? Are you okay?" Katrina didn't want to drag Teressa into this any further. "It's personal. Don't worry about it. Just head hand keep tonight's events to yourself."
Katrina hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If I don't make it to the office tomorrow. Mr. Lynde will handle every teverything for me. And if Clara reaches out, tell her I'm away on a business trip and will contact her once I'm back."
Teressa was no fool. She understood immediately what was happening She glanced warily at Carlisle and whispered, "Ms. Caldwell, is there anything you needto do?"
