Chapter 77 Please Arrest Them
Even though Tessa didn’t understand Timothy, she still said, “I’m fine. They didn’t do anything to me.”
Timothy was relieved to hear that, and then he realized that he had fallen for Lauren’s schemes! What a scheming fox Lauren is; I almost fell for it! Fortunately, Tessa arrived in time.
Feeling reassured, Timothy slightly smiled and tried to comfort his sister. “Tessa, I’m fine. Do not worry.”
When Tessa heard this, her heart felt like breaking. How can I not worry? She gently asked Henry, “You should be Timothy’s classmate, right? Help me watch over Timothy, okay?”
“Mm.” Henry nodded at once.
Thereafter, Tessa stood up, brimming with anger. Her eyes were scarlet with rage as coldness emanated from her. “Who pushed him?” she demanded in all seriousness.
Silas trembled, but he avoided looking at her because of guilt. Immediately, she stared him down. “Was it you?”
At this time, Lauren felt anger rising in her chest, and she could not help but shout, “Tessa, what kind of a daughter are you? How dare you talk to your father like that and even dare to call the police here? Are you nuts?”
Tessa glared at her coldly, and suddenly, she slapped Lauren across the face. Then, she clenched her jaw and gritted her teeth, saying, “You b*tch! Yes, I must have been nuts to think you all would be nice to Timothy because he’s related to this family by blood! Now it seems that I really underestimated your hardheartedness! I’m telling you, Lauren, you have a wicked heart! I won’t let this matter go just like that.”
After saying that, Tessa turned her head to look at the police and solemnly said, “Officer, they are the ones who kidnapped my brother. Please arrest them immediately.”
Hearing that, the police were about to go forward, causing Silas and Lauren to panic on the spot. For a moment, Lauren forgot that she was slapped and hurriedly explained, “Officer, you have misunderstood! These are just some family matters. In fact, it is just a family conflict, so how can you accuse us of kidnapping Timothy? Officer, you must not listen to this girl’s nonsense!”
Silas also spoke anxiously. “Yes, yes, it’s just a conflict in our own family. Besides, I am their biological father, and the reason why I brought my son here is just to talk to him about some things. We wanted to discuss some personal matters, and it is totally not some kind of kidnapping going on.”
He fumbled for a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, then handed them over to the police one by one, smiling fawningly. “Sorry for causing you all to make a trip here for nothing. I hope you don’t mind. Anyway, there will be conflict in every family. Later, when we are done with our family issues, we will definitely go and personally invite all of you to dinner.”
Unexpectedly, the police officers coldly glared at him. “Mr. Reinhart, what do you mean by that? We are here to do business, not to take bribes from you!”
Silas’s face suddenly stiffened, and he hastily explained with a smile, “No, Officer. How can this be considered a bribe? It’s just that there was some misunderstanding, and I want to make it easy for you.”
Snorting, the police officer replied seriously, “Misunderstanding? But according to our investigation, this is not a misunderstanding. You did forcefully kidnap the boy from the school entrance without his consent, and we have gotten confirmation from the school entrance surveillance cameras too. In addition, your so-called bodyguards were pinning this other young man down, and we also saw it with our eyes. As for Timothy, his head is still bleeding even at this moment. How can any of this be fake? Hence, you are not only suspected of kidnapping but also battery! This matter cannot be explained away by mere family conflict!”
The police officer’s icy words made Lauren and Silas’s expressions change significantly. For a moment, they realized there was no way around for them to argue about this!
The police officer’s tone was stern and non-negotiable as he continued, “Okay, no more talking. You two come with us to the police station!”
Then, the officers came up to take them away. Obviously, Silas was deeply reluctant to go with them.
In a state of panic, he no longer cared about anything and suddenly said in a loud voice, “No, Officer! You really misunderstood! I am the chairman of the Reinhart Group, and I usually have a good reputation. How would I even do things that are against the law? Officer, please be more accommodating!”
