Chapter 144 Battle Arena: Victoria's Arrest and Logan's Return

"I have evidence," Rosa swallowed nervously, "because I was concerned that Victoria would later retract her promise and won't hand the project to my husband. I secretly recorded our conversation and even obtained her signature on a project guarantee."

Adeline and lawyer Mason exchanged excited glances.

Adeline called Curtis after gathering substantial evidence.

"Honey, I want the police to arrest Victoria. Though her sentence may not be long, she may learn a valuable lesson from it. What do you think?"

"You have the final say," Curtis replied firmly.

Adeline was taken aback and cautiously asked, "Aren't you worried that this will disrupt family harmony?"

Curtis let out a gentle and affectionate chuckle, "There's nothing more important than you in this world. Plus, maintaining peace in the home requires work from everyone involved. I think never standing up to her bullying is not the answer.

"That's exactly what I mean! Victoria's haughtiness will only grow unless we intervene. So, should I ask my grandfather, I mean, my father's opinion about this?"

Curtis let out a "hmm," followed by a light chuckle. "Adeline, it's wonderful that you considered seeking my father's opinion. Thank you for considering my parents' feelings when handling this matter. Go ahead. Feel free to give my father a call."

With Curtis's approval, Adeline called Frank and gave him a brief rundown of Victoria's behavior during this time.

"Dad, I'd like to let the police handle this. What do you think?"

A long silence filled the other end of the phone, and it took a while before Frank let out a sigh. "It's really unfortunate for our family that Leo ended up marrying a woman like her."

Listening in silence, Adeline couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

She could almost predict what Frank would say next: "But family harmony is most important..." Being an elder, he always prioritized peace within the family.

But the next thing she knew, a very firm voice was on the other end of the phone, "Since both of you are my daughters-in-law, I won't favor any of you. Just do what you want!"

Caught off guard by this unexpected response, Adeline paused for a moment before gratefully responding, "Dad, thank you!"

"You're welcome, my child. You've suffered a lot during this time," Frank replied, his simple words bringing almost tears to Adeline's eyes.

The Burtons had never been so supportive of her in her whole life.

Taking a deep breath, Adeline looked at Mason with determination. "Mr. Taylor, let's thoroughly pursue this matter."

"Very well!" Mason nodded in agreement.

With the compelling evidence in hand, the police swiftly began the operation to arrest Victoria. Adeline, Mason, and two officers soon arrived at Riley's mansion.

The police stormed into the living room abruptly, showing their identification badges to Victoria, who was casually drinking coffee. "Hello, Miss Victoria Riley. Here is our identification. We are investigating a case of framing and false accusations, and we request that you accompany us for questioning."

Victoria's expression changed as she caught sight of Adeline and Mason. As the police officers explained their purpose, she was filled with terror, causing her coffee cup to slip from her hand and crash onto the floor with a loud noise.

"What... what do you mean by framing and false accusations? I have no idea," Victoria panicked and shouted at her servant, "Quick, go get Mr. Riley here."

The servant hesitated before saying, "Mr. Riley went fishing. He said he didn't have his cell phone with him and told us not to bother him."

Victoria, shocked, sank onto the sofa and glared at Adeline. "It must be you! You called him and told him about it, didn't you?"

Adeline didn't argue and instead headed in Victoria's direction. "We're a family, so I don't want things to escalate any further, and I'll give you one last chance. You can now call Logan and his father in front of me, admit what you have done to me, and apologize. I won't press charges if you're willing to apologize and make things right."

"You wish!" Victoria glared at Adeline fiercely.

Adeline shrugged. "Well, in that case, we can now trust the police to handle the matter impartially."

Adeline took a few steps back, and the police officers came forward to take Victoria away.

Victoria retaliated fiercely, shouting, "Don't you dare touch me! I am Mrs. Riley! Let's see who dares to lay a finger on me! My husband is the Chairman of The Riley Group. You'll be digging your own

grave if you dare to touch me!"

"Please cooperate, Ma'am! We'll have to handcuff you if you keep acting this way." One of the officers approached her and reached for his handcuffs.

Victoria refused to comply, even putting up a strong resistance by fiercely striking out at the officers. "Stay away from me! I'll sue all of you for sexual harassment! Don't you dare touch me!"

Caught off guard by Victoria's aggressive behavior, the officers had no choice but to restrain her by placing handcuffs on her wrists. With a click, the restraints were locked in place.

A male voice suddenly rang out from the living room. "What are all of you doing?"

Adeline turned her attention toward the source of the voice and was taken aback. In the doorway stood a man dressed in a sharp and stylish beige overcoat, holding a rolling suitcase, his figure outlined against the sunlight filtering through the room. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
