Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reset to Drill Day: Watching the Commander Break: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I was so livid that I tried to lunge at Ella, but her sidekicks held me back, with one of the women grabbing a fistful of my hair and snarling, "You want to save Wanda, huh? You'd better take a good look at yourself, you pathetic loser! You're a nobody!"Joseph shoved me hard, sending me sprawling to the ground. "That's enough, Yvonne Sommer! You're just stirring up trouble and being difficult at this point! You clearly don't respect my position as your drill instructor at all, Yvonne!"I pointed to Wanda's limp, barely breathing body and shrieked at the top of my lungs, "Have you gone blind, Joseph? Do you not see how Wanda is slipping away here? She's actually going to die if you drag this on any longer!"Ella let out a mocking snicker before yelling, "You think she's just going to die like that, huh? Give me a break! You're quite a team, aren't you? You see, one fakes a medical crisis perfectly, while the other puts on this life-or-death drama! Do you really take us for fools, Yv

I had no idea how much time had passed, but Wanda and I finally arrived at the hospital. In that instant, the medical staff rushed out to meet the ambulance, only to freeze when they saw us strapped to the roof. "Get them down from there this instant!"They scrambled to undo the ropes, finally getting Wanda and me down. They hurried Wanda into the ER immediately. I, on the other hand, collapsed onto a cold bench in the hallway while paralyzed with fear, feeling like every second was dragging on forever.It was then that the sound of hurried, heavy footsteps echoed from the far end of the hallway, and a middle-aged man in an expensive, tailored suit—his eyes sharp as a hawk's—came charging forward, flanked by a group of bodyguards in black. It was none other than Victor Lawson—the richest man in the country!He immediately noted the red light above the ER doors, then turned to look at me—pale, disheveled, and trembling by the door. "Where is Wanda?"It was then that one of the n

"It wasn't us! You can't do this to us—we're in a hospital!" Joseph recoiled in pure terror, retreating until his legs gave out and he fell to his knees on the floor."You don't have any evidence! You can't just attack us in public—everyone is watching!" Ella shrieked.Upon hearing that and seeing the crowd holding up their phones to live-stream the whole incident, Victor slowly loosened his grip on the baseball bat and said through gritted teeth, "You want evidence, huh? I'll make sure you'll regret it for the rest of your lives once I get my hands on that evidence!"Having said that, Victor walked up to me and nodded slightly, his eyes filled with remorse. "I'm so sorry for doubting you, Yvonne. You saved Wanda's life, and for that, you'll forever be a benefactor to the Lawson family. "I'll never forget this debt of gratitude, so from now onward, your life is our priority, Yvonne. If you have anything you want, just ask, and I'll provide it without a second thought if it's withi

I provided a full statement in the police station, detailing Ella's incitement and Joseph's role as a passive observer. I even testified about being forced to kneel, the physical assault on Wanda's hand, and the way Ella egged the crowd on to assault us. I concluded with their final act of tying us to the roof of the ambulance, leaving no single detail out.I was in the middle of giving my statement when a knock came at the interrogation room door, and a police officer leaned in and said, "Joseph and Ella are requesting to see you, Ms. Sommer."I looked up, a flicker of confusion crossing my eyes.I looked at Joseph and Ella standing behind the cold iron bars, looking utterly pathetic. Joseph, in his crumpled uniform and with his bruised face, had a look of murderous resentment. Ella, on the other hand, looked utterly disheveled with her hair all over the place and her expression completely lifeless.Joseph scrambled toward the bars the moment he spotted me. "You have to tell the
