Chapter 1231
As Warren spoke, he took Amelia’s hand with one hand and took out his phone with the other. He dialed a number and said, “Inform all the media on your contact list as soon as possible. I will give you the specific address later, but please be quick…”
After finishing the call, Warren turned to Amelia, who was still in a daze. “Since you will make a scene here, let’s create the biggest, messiest fuss!”
At this moment, Amelia felt a stream of warmth surged through her chest.
It seemed that no matter what happened, Warren would always be by her side, supporting her.
When Amelia and Warren arrived at Rosalie’s side, the Summer family and the Scott family, as well as the police, had already arrived, and both parties were currently engaged in a tense situation.
Even though Jonathan, Calvin, and Warren’s men were barricading the others’ ways, Rosalie and her group were the minority.
Moreover, there were police officers with the Summer family, and the police present on the scene even said that if Rosalie and the rest didn’t make way for them, the police would apprehend them and sue them after this fiasco ended.
And now, Rosalie was obviously in the wrong.
Meanwhile, it suddenly dawned on Harriet that Rosalie she saw at the banquet before this was Strico’s famous Jonathan’s wife.
And that not only Jonathan was at the scene, but Calvin was also involved.
Harriet thought, “How did Riley find so many big shots to help her?” Even though that went through her mind, she grumbled, “I’m Riley’s guardian! No matter what the diagnosis is later, it’s useless because your actions are illegal! I’m going to leave with Riley! She is frightened, and your current action is considered kidnapping. I will definitely hold you guys accountable for this!”
When Rosalie was about to say something, Amelia suddenly spoke. “This is not kidnapping. It’s a rescue mission. I’m trying to save my friend’s life!”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Amelia and Warren, who approached them.
Seeing this, Rosalie rushed over to Amelia. “Why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to rest?”
“I was behind this, so I should be here. Amelia walked to the police. “I suspect that my friend Riley has been imprisoned and abused. So, I hope the police can allow the doctor to make a preliminary diagnosis for her. If we head in now, we will only interrupt the diagnostic process.”
“You don’t have evidence, so the police can’t just wait here because of your words only. If you really think there is something wrong with the guardianship of the Summer family, then you should go through normal legal procedures,” the police voiced.
“Who told you I don’t have any evidence? I have evidence!” Amelia said.
“Evidence? If you do have proof, do you have to kidnap Riley?” Harriet questioned, “You kept saying you are Riley’s friend, but I’ve never heard her mention your name before!”
With that, Harriet turned around and said to the policeman, “Captain Wendell, I hope the police can rescue my sister as soon as possible. We don’t know what they will do to Riley in there. If anything happens to Riley…”
The man known as Captain Wendell was Vincent Wendell. He stayed quiet, musing, “This is a dilemma for me. I can’t risk offending any one of them.”
At this moment, Zephyr added, “Captain Wendell, you’d better save Riley first. As for what evidence the other party has, it has nothing to do with the police. They can seek formal ways to dispute Riley’s guardianship instead of using this illegal way, right? If something happens to Riley before the police, this matter would spiral out of control.”
Hearing this, Vincent finally said to Rosalie, Jonathan, and others determinedly, “Please get out of the way while the police do their jobs. If you continue to block our way, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.”
Just then, Amelia handed her phone to a computer science expert working under Calvin. “I need your help to play this video.”
“Okay.” The man answered and turned on the laptop. Then, he started tapping quickly on the keyboard.
Just when the police were about to barge in, the screen for informing the patients on their turns lit up as a video appeared.
The screen was linked to Amelia’s phone at that moment. This video on the screen was taken when Amelia secretly entered the hospital for the second time.
At that time, Amelia put the miniature camera on her collar. She was initially worried that she would miss something Riley said when she saw the latter again, so she took a video of it, but she did not expect that one day, the video would become a piece of evidence to support her words.
“This is my evidence!” Amelia shouted, “As long as you watch this video, you will see how the Summer family tortured a normal person and turned her into a mentally ill patient.”
Amelia only aimed her fire at the Summer family for now, as the most important thing to do now was to stall for time.
All the people present focused their eyes on the huge screen. Harriet panicked as she wondered, “When did Amelia take this video? All I can see in the video now is Riley lowering her head without moving. What is this piece of evidence? What will I see when they play the video?”
The more confident Amelia was, the more uneasy Harriet became.
“Zephyr,” Harriet called out to her husband in a low voice. However, she noticed that Zephyr’s eyes were glued to the screen, focusing all attention on it.
Harriet gritted her teeth and told the police. “There’s no need to watch this video. Captain Wendell, how long will you and your people stand there? I will not let this matter slide if anything happens to Riley!”
But before she could finish her words, many people rushed over again and kept shooting the scene with their cameras up.
Harriet and her people changed their expression drastically while Rosalie and the rest remained calm. As Amelia had mentioned to them before she arrived that she had asked for the media to show up, they were all mentally prepared for this.
“What’s with all of these people? Scram! Chase them out!” Harriet instructed her subordinates from the Summer family as her unease grew.
“I was the one who told them to come!” Amelia stepped forward. “Since I have proof, I must show them to more people. That way, I can support my decision to put Riley through this psychiatric diagnosis.”
