Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!
Chapter 497: Arrest
Mr. Sutton, with the endless worries of an old father, walked in.
Upon entering the police station, the initially spirited Thea Shaw immediately pulled back all her actions upon seeing Mr. Sutton. Her lips curled into a small, demure smile as she gracefully sat back down.
Zia Sutton: "..."
Do you have something to say?
"Mr. Sutton."
The first to speak upon seeing Mr. Sutton was Mrs. Seymour.
Mr. Sutton had already learned all the details on his way there. Now, seeing Mrs. Seymour and recalling what Thea Shaw had said earlier, his thoughts were inevitably complex, so he could only say politely, "I heard that your son and my children had a minor misunderstanding."
The police officers, seeing the entrance of these elite individuals, began to feel a headache coming on.
They also recognized the person as the famous Mrs. Seymour of the Seymour Group in Fenmore.
Although the Seymour Group is nominally headed by Mrs. Seymour’s husband, everyone knows it’s her family’s company.
This lady was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Involving the Seymour Group, the officers cast sympathetic glances towards the crying girl.
Everyone knew that this matter might just fade away. If you think about it darkly...
Mr. Sutton gave Mrs. Seymour an out as soon as he arrived. Although the words from Thea Shaw earlier made her a bit uneasy, Mrs. Seymour nodded slightly and agreed, "Yes, it’s all a misunderstanding."
"There is no misunderstanding!"
No one expected that today Zia Sutton might have had a drink, feeling really heady, now sober, but still impulsive.
Seeing the bodyguards of Mr. Sutton earlier was intimidating, but seeing Mr. Sutton himself now made Zia even more spirited.
Under the stern gaze of Mr. Sutton, Zia shrank back a bit but felt the need to uphold justice: "We saw it! He did break the law!"
He pointed at Lucas Sawyer.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Mrs. Seymour’s delicately manicured nails dug into her skin, her smile almost faltering.
If the Sutton Family targeted the Seymour Family like this, then the cooperation with the Sutton Family would need to be called off.
Mr. Sutton rubbed his forehead.
As someone who stirs the storm in the business world, he considered more deeply.
This matter required irrefutable evidence; it couldn’t just be decided by Zia Sutton’s insistence on testifying.
Ultimately, it depended on the victim.
Mr. Sutton knew the Seymour Family had countless ways to silence the victim, and by then, even if Zia decided to testify, it would be useless and instead make Zia a target for the Seymour Family.
"Since the victim reported it, and both the witnesses and evidence are present, officers, shouldn’t you formally file the case and arrest someone?"
Thea Shaw stood up again, smiling as she defined the matter.
Lucas Sawyer’s expression twisted.
Yet in front of his mother, he didn’t dare to curse out loud.
The victim’s name was Jade Vaughn.
From the initial panic and loss, to her breakdown after being rescued, she had gradually calmed down under the comfort of the female officer.
Especially seeing Thea Shaw, such a beautiful person, stand up to testify for her, she felt as a victim, she must ensure Lucas Sawyer received the punishment he deserved.
She then dried her tears and firmly repeated, "He coerced me against my will; that’s a crime. And I don’t even know him. I’m now requesting you officially arrest him!"
With both witnesses and physical evidence present, the girl’s face still bore the marks of being pinched, a mere check would reveal the perpetrator.
With irrefutable evidence, Lucas Sawyer was formally charged and arrested.
