Meanwhile, when no one was watching, Chris took out his phone.Two minutes later, Chris hung up.The police officer in charge ordered one of the female officers to take Laura into custody. "Take her back with us as well. She dared to assault a police officer.""Laura didn't even touch you!" Shannon became desperate. This had nothing to do with Laura at all, but Laura still had to be taken away because of her."Shut your mouth! I said she assaulted an officer and that's what happened!"Laura broke free from the female officer. "I can walk by myself. I doubt you can do whatever you want!"Chris frowned. He was unhappy and his face darkened. "I'm going as well."Laura didn't want Chris to be involved, but she didn't dare say anything after seeing the look on his face.Harry was involved, so there was no way Chris was going to just stand back and do nothing.Therefore, Amelia, Laura, Shannon, Harry, and Chris were all taken to the police station for questioning.Amelia looked at
"You know full well why I'm here!" Brian looked at Laura and then calmed himself down. He then told the officer who was interrogating Laura, Andrew, to leave the room, leaving Laura alone in the interrogation room."Mr. West, I got orders to punish this woman from Miss Summers. I had no choice."Faced with Brian's questioning, Andrew had no choice but to bring out Amelia."Miss Summers? Which Miss Summers? How come I didn't know about this? Are you going to do everything she says? Do you think she can keep you covered if anything happens to you?"Andrew's obsessiveness caused Brian to be infuriated and he slammed the table."No one dares to offend the Summers family in Jeswood. Those people are just a bunch of ordinary civilians. Why should we offend Miss Summers for ordinary civilians? Mr. West, you just don't know how to bend the rules."At first, Andrew was afraid of Brian, but when he thought of the fact that he was backed by the Summers family, he was no longer scared. He be
After Brian told Andrew to leave the room, he arranged for his men to make arrangements for Laura and the others.After all, Amelia didn't have any proof, so there was no reason to keep them in interrogation rooms all the time."What's happening? Why are you kept here for so long?" It was the first time that Shannon had been kept in the police station for so long, so she was a little worried."We didn't scrape her car. There's nothing to worry about." This was the first time that Harry was in a police station under such circumstances as well."Harry's right. They can't give us a sentence with no reason, right, Chris?" Laura looked at Chris.She said that to comfort Shannon, but she wasn't sure either.She had seen the looks on the faces of those police officers."Yep." Chris nodded calmly.He had an indifferent look on his face, but deep down, he already had a plan. "There's nothing to worry about. They'll have to let us out when the time is up."The time of interrogation coul
"Idiot! I can't believe you've managed to let him get the better of you. You're on your own now!" Amelia couldn't help but curse.She wanted to get someone to teach Laura and the others a lesson, but it kept on getting her into trouble.Andrew was very worried, but he had no choice but to bow to Amelia and apologize. "You can leave everything to me, Miss Summers. Don't worry. I'll make sure this matter won't affect you."Amelia snorted and left.Andrew saw Amelia out respectfully. When he turned around he saw Chris putting his cufflink back.Andrew glared at the cufflink which was also a voice recorder. "You guys, bring that guy to me."He had asked his men to confiscate all communication devices to prevent leaving any evidence of what he was doing.However, he didn't expect Chris to have a cufflink which was also a voice recorder. No one would have thought that a cufflink would also be a voice recorder."I don't think it's appropriate, Mr. Lowe." One of the officers was a litt
"Who are these people locked in here?" Erik stopped walking when he arrived outside the room where Chris and the others were locked."These people scraped a luxury car and weren't willing to pay for the damage caused. It's been a night and they still didn't admit to what they've done. It's only a civil dispute, I think you won't be interested in such a small matter, Mr. Wilkinson.""Small matters are also important. I want to see who these people are." Erik seemed to be very interested in Chris and the others and ordered Andrew to let him in.Andrew opened the door hesitantly and followed Erik inside.When Erik walked inside, he looked around the room and when he saw Chris, he stopped. A surprised look flashed in his eyes. "They're the people who scraped the luxury car?""Yes, they've been here a day, but still didn't admit to what they've done. They won't be able to afford the compensation, so they definitely won't admit to what they've done and act shameless.""Do you have any
Andrew still wanted to explain, but Erik didn't give him that chance."I'll look into this matter. As for you, you will be temporarily suspended until everything is figured out. You will be able to resume your post or be punished according to the result of the investigation."After solving Andrew's matters, Erik asked Chris and the others about the details of what happened. He then immediately sent men to check the surveillance cameras.As expected, all the cameras were damaged and they couldn't see what happened.However, they were able to find some clues from a KOL.The KOL just happened to be visiting the water park that Harry and Shannon went to, so she recorded her day.The video just happened to have recorded everything that happened that day.At first, Amelia parked the car at the side of the road and then got out.However, they could clearly see in the video that there was already a scratch on the Rolls Royce.Two minutes later, Shannon and Harry appeared next to the c
Amelia was soon taken to the interrogation room.When she didn't see Andrew, she felt a little confused. "Where's Andrew?""Which Andrew are you talking about??""The chief of police here. Don't you know him?"Amelia felt a little dissatisfied with the police officer's reply, so she frowned and her voice wasn't really happy either."Our chief of police is no longer Andrew anymore." The officer thought about it and shook his head."What do you mean Andrew isn't the chief of police anymore?"The officer didn't answer Amelia's question this time. "That, I can't tell you. Someone will be here to ask you a few questions. I'll be leaving now."With that said, the officer left the room.Amelia's instincts told her that things weren't that simple. She wondered if something had happened.Before she could figure out what was going on, two people walked into the room and sat directly in front of her."Hello, Miss Summers, I'm Brian West. I have a few questions that I want to ask you ab
"Please can you check the recorded content and if there aren't any other problems, please sign it."Amelia quickly read through the recorded content and signed it when she was sure that there weren't any problems.Brian looked at the signature and then nodded. "Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Miss Summers. You may leave now."Amelia then left the police station. She did know about the scratch on her car. She recognized Shannon and knew that she worked at Laura's convenience store. Therefore, when she saw Shannon and Harry, she came up with a plan.Laura and Shannon were very good friends. They had also come to Jeswood together. Amelia knew that if something happened to Shannon, Laura would definitely show up.That was why she suddenly wanted to put the blame for the scratches on her car on Shannon. Amelia felt that there was no way Laura and Shannon would be able to afford the repairs. This meant that she could take this chance to make Laura look bad in front of the Summe
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
