Chapter 1043 Arrest
The police officer took the evidence while stating professionally, “We will have to validate these before we file a charge to arrest the person.”
“No problem. We’ll leave them to you.” An unbothered Edward glanced at Evan. She read through him and proposed, “Can I meet my husband for a moment? Our son is back and I’d like to inform him personally.”
The officer approved of that, thereby granting Evan the chance to meet Soren. His wife’s arrival at late night prompted him to furrow. “Did something happen back at home?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that our son is saved by Mr. Jackson,” explained Evan with a relieved smile on her face.
He heaved a sigh of relief before inquiring in concern, “Is he alright?”
“Yeah, just a little terrified.” After roughly recounting their son’s situation, she brought up Edward’s condition. “Mr. Jackson promised to guarantee our safety as long as you attest to Eunice and her father’s deeds.”
“Got it. Please call over the officer in charge.” Soren nodded approvingly.
Once the officer was present, Soren changed his statement by divulging the threat he received. “I changed my statement at that time because Walter kidnapped my son. Eunice was actually the person behind all these.”
The next morning, Walter’s assistant walked into the office frantically not long after he came to work. “President Walter, there are a few officers looking for you downstairs.”
He looked at Walter as words stuck in his throat. Walter knew what it meant without the need of any further explanation as he furrowed and chided, “What’s there to panic about? Those people are just a humble family. They wouldn’t file a police report. The police must be here for something else.”
Having said that, he motioned his assistant to guide the officers to his office. As soon as they entered the office, they informed him of the reason for their visit without giving him the chance to act out of courtesy. “Mr. Walter, someone has accused you of abduction. Please follow us for investigation.”
Walter’s expression fell when he heard that, but he quickly gathered himself by forcing a smile. “There must be a misunderstanding. Why would I break the law?”
“I think so too. Since both Ms. Evan and her husband said that you’re the one, your subordinates have made a confession too.” The officers then forcefully took him away.
Leaving with no choice, Walter furtively gestured at his assistant before following them with a darkened expression. Never once had he expected that couple would file a police report against him, let alone thinking about his subordinates being arrested.
Soon enough, the police car vanished in the streets. Other employees noticed the situation and wished to pry further by asking the assistant, only to be driven back to their working positions because he had something more important to do at the moment.
At the same time, Eunice, who was at home, was informed of her father’s arrest. Right when she was about to leave the house, the assistant had arrived at the doorstep, prompting her to inquire, “What happened? Why is Daddy arrested?”
“It’s Soren and his family. They told the police about President Walter kidnapping their son. He asked me to escort you to somewhere else as soon as possible before the police took him.” The assistant leveled everything out without hiding anything.
Despite the growing resentment in her, Eunice knew that it was not the time to throw a tantrum. Before long, the both of them left the house without the knowledge that their movement was being watched.
After receiving an update from his subordinate, Edward hurriedly knocked onto the door to enter Nicholas’ office. “You guessed it right, President Sawyer. Walter asked someone to send Eunice away first thing after being arrested.”
Nicholas snorted lightly and gave his orders. “Don’t lose them or I’ll hold you accountable for it.”
Edward nodded in response. When the night dawned, Walter’s assistant and Eunice came to the airport under disguise.
