Chapter 153 Taken by the Police

Liora quickly moved and blocked the stairs before Caroline could reply. Her chubby cheeks were puffed in anger as she said, “Why are you taking my mommy, Mr. Police Officer?”

Tyler and Axel joined them, both stern–faced

Tyler’s voice was icy. “You can’t take her without a reason

Axel’s tone matched “Tell us the reason.”

The three kids eyed the officers with hostility. They defended their mother, afraid she would be taken away.

Scott and Caroline, though, were unusually composed. They exchanged a glance and worked together.

Scott soothed the children while Caroline descended the stairs calmly. She approached the officers and asked, “I can go with you, but could you please explain what I’ve done wrong?”

The lead officer replied, “Someone reported you as a murderer who faked death to escape prison

“Mommy’s not a murderer! This is crazy!” Liora yelled, breaking free from Scott’s grip and clutching Caroline’s thigh.

“Child, please let the police do their job. We’ll investigate and release your mother if all’s well,” the lead officer assured.

Caroline comforted Liora with a pat, then addressed the officers, “I’ll come with you. But for the kids sake, let’s not mention this, to protect them.”

The lead officer nodded, saying, “Let’s go.”

As Caroline left with the officers, Liora looked at Scott with tears. I don’t like you anymore, Papa Wilson! Why didn’t you defend Mommy when the police got it wrong?”

Scott leaned over, caressed Liora’s head, and explained gently, “It’s not that I don’t want to help your mother, but I trust her. Why would she be scared of the police if she didn’t do anything wrong? We should encourage her to prove her innocence now so the police won’t bother us frequently in the future, right?”

Liora was convinced. She sobbed and asked, “Really?”

Scott nodded. “When have I lied to you before, Lia?”

Tyler pulled Axel aside. “We must figure out a way to save Mommy.”

Axel looked at him. Til do it, Ty.”

Tyler looked at him in puzzlement. “Do you have a way?”

Axel pursed his lips. Investigate, then come up with a solution.”

Tyler nodded and led Axel upstairs.

Julian hastily texted Evan after Caroline was taken. [Mr. Jordan! The police have taken Ms. Caroline)

Evan was getting ready to discuss a mining industry partnership with Otis Seaward from Oceania

City.

Upon receiving Julian’s text, Evan’s expression turned serious. He stood up quickly, glancing at

Otis “Mr. Seaward, I must leave for an urgent matter.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

He left the cafe before Otis could reply.

Seeing Evan’s departure, Reuben noticed Otis looking displeased. He caught up with Evan and

said, “Mr. Jordan, this…”

Evan kept walking without pausing “Arrange the earliest flight to Angelbay. The police have

taken Caroline.”

Reuben was shocked, thinking, “Would Mr. Jordan really abandon a billion–dollar collaboration for Ms. Shenton? Wait, the police?‘

Reuben realized that if Caroline’s true identity was revealed, she would have to return to prison.
