“….” Emmeline nodded. “I guess you’re right.”
Sam had done the right thing, Emmeline couldn’t really blame her.
Besides, telling Benjamin was probably better than telling Abel.
She was honestly a little embarrassed.
She had been getting into trouble a little too much these days.
Benjamin got a call from Sam. He first made sure Emmeline was alright, then made a call to Inspector Charles.
Inspector Charles got the shock of his life upon hearing that Emmeline had been arrested. Immediately, he gave a call to the chief of the police station.
The chief was currently thinking about how much he should fine these women.
The phone on his desk rang.
He picked up, and Inspector Charles’ deep voice rang through the phone.
The chief jumped. “Sir!”
“…Ms. Louise isn’t to be messed with, let her go at once,” Inspector Charles said in a low voice. “Don’t waste another minute!”
“Uh…” The chief was a little confused.
“What, do I need to spell it out for you?” Inspector Charles said. “I told you she’s not to be messed with. Would you like to try? How many brains have you got?”
The chief touched his head. Just one brain, yes.
“Alright, I’ll let her go this very instant!”
“Apologize to her first,” Inspector Charles said. “You’ll be the one to answer if anything goes sideways!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Inspector Charles heaved a sigh of relief after hanging up.
No one dared to arrest Ms. Louise.
She was the person behind Adelmar Group, as well as the wife of Abel Ryker.
Apparently, she was also the sister of Mr. Adelmar, who had bought the Imperial Palace.
The chief put down the phone. He fixed his clothes, and walked to the detention center.
The door swung open, and he looked around.
He was no fool, and was able to tell who Emmeline was right away.
He bowed to her. “Hello, Ms. Louise?”
Emmeline frowned. “Speaking.”
“Let’s talk inside,” the chief said.
Emmeline understood at once that the chief was implying that they talk one on one.
She dropped her crossed arms, walking over after the chief.
Doris and Jennie were a little worried.
Sam said, “Ms. Louise’s just gone for tea. It’s alright.”
Doris knew a thing or two about just what ‘tea’ was.
Jennie was still confused, and asked Sam, “Which family is Ms. Louise from, actually?’
“You’ll find out later.” Sam waggled her eyebrows.
“It can’t be… the Adelmar family, can it?” Jennie hit the nail on the head.
Sam chuckled. “Yep. She’s pretty much a god, when you count Waylon in.”
Jennie frowned, tugging at her sister’s clothes. “Doris, just how powerful is this Ms. Louise?”
“That’s all I know,” Doris said. “We’ll just have to wait and see.
Emmeline was brought into the chief officer’s office. The chief had her sit down, pouring her a cup of tea hurriedly.
“I’m so sorry about this. I didn’t know it was you until Inspector Charles called, Ms. Louise.”
He raised his teacup respectfully to Emmeline.
“Oh, that’s fine,” Emmeline said. “Please settle this legally. I don’t want to get anyone into trouble.”
Settle it legally?
The chief’s expression creased with panic. Was Ms. Louise angry?
“Please calm down, Ms. Louise,” the chief said, a pained smile on his face. “I haven’t even apologized to you.”
“Oh, you’re fine,” Emmeline said. “I just want you to settle this the legal way.”
“Was the apology not enough?” The chief was starting to panic. Inspector Charles had said that this lady was not to be messed with!
“Ms. Louise, I’ve investigated this thoroughly enough. The woman you attacked was a homewrecker, and a public nuisance! You were just defending your friend as well as yourself, you did well!”
“So you can just leave properly with your friends after this! Or actually, actually… let us walk you out!”
“Quit the nagging!” Emmeline frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to just settle this legally? I want to see what’s going to happen, too! How am I supposed to do that if you just let me leave now?”
