The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 81

Sophia and Ethan had gone to see Athena not just to cheer her up, but to intimidate her into silence.

They meant to make Athena know that the Dawson family was behind them. In order to force Athena to join them, they used both coercion and seduction.

Nobody knew that Athena had already been discovered by James. James was straightforward. He directly told her that they were clear about what she and Sophia had done. It would be smart of her to choose the right side or she could end up in prison.

Athena never thought that Sophia was-not only against Paige, but also the Wolf Group.

She was clever enough to know not to be enemy against Wolf Group. So she divulged everything right away.

So the meeting with Athena was actually a trap. Athena brought a recording pen according to James's instructions. The whole conversation was recorded, and also Ethan and Sophia's ugliness.

Athena handed the recording pen to James, and James immediately called the police in the name of Paige.

Sophia and Ethan thought that they had done a great job. They just returned to their houses.

And the police arrived and arrested them Sophia and Ethan were handcuffed and taken away.

Isabella saw Sophia taken by police, so she immediately called Liam. Liam was bringing two badly injured bodyguards with bloody faces to the hospital.

Their eyes were bloodshot and they couldn't see anything. Liam was thinking about calling the police to punish Joseph.

When he received a call from Isabella and heard that Sophia was taken away by the police, Liam became extremely impatient. "What happened again? Why the f*k do all of you enjoy making trouble for me? I'm occupied now!"

"Liam, you can't leave her alone. She is pregnant! If something happens to her, it will be terrible."

As Isabella reminded Liam, he recalled the cooperation with the Dawson family was because of Sophia, so he eased his anger.

"Why did they take her away? Any reason?"

"They said that Sophia was suspected of forging evidence and slandering. By the way, Ethan was also took away. I'm so panicked and have no idea about what to do. You should go there quickly!" Now, Isabella didn't dare to hide anything longer. She clearly knew that her daughter and Ethan had framed Paige. She thought that with the Dawson family backing them up, she could definitely make Paige ended up in jail.

But she didn't expect that her daughter to be arrested, instead of Paige. And Ethan was also handcuffed. It was too bad.

Liam realized something was wrong when he heard that Ethan had also been taken away.

Something terrible must have happened. All his troubles were gathered around tonight.

Liam rushed to the police station to check out the situation, with no time to think about anything else.

The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, and Elizabeth's car came over.

They met each other at the gate. Not knowing what happened, Liam was not awkward. He asked Elizabeth, "Madam Dawson, do you know about it?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Elizabeth's face. "Not really. Get in and take a look."

Then she took the lawyer walking into the station, Liam followed.

Ethan and Sophia were asked in two interrogation rooms.

In the beginning, Ethan was very arrogant.

He refused to say anything and kept shouting that he was waiting for the lawyer.

Until the police played the recording, he started to panic. He finally realized the conversation tonight with Athena was actually monitored. He could imagine how serious the consequences would be. Sophia, the d*n woman, had got him a big trouble.

He was in a panic, but didn't say anything and waited for Elizabeth to save him Elizabeth took a lawyer to bail Ethan, but she was refused by police righteously.

"We received a report from Miss Paige, who is the victim. Ethan Green is suspected of slandering and tarnishing Miss Paige's reputation with extremely serious means and has caused huge injury to her. At present, Ethan will be investigated and can not be bailed out."

Elizabeth said with a sullen face, "This is not a major criminal case. Why won't you allowed him bailed? I'll go find your boss."

"Lady, what do you think you're doing? We're doing things according to the law, calling in the suspects as the law says. Ethan's criminal plots are terrible. In case of collusion, he's not allowed to be bailed."

"I'm warned you. If you can't provide any evidence, don't blame me..." Elizabeth threatened. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Calm down. We've already got enough evidence! Madam, it seems like we need to popularize law to you." The policeman who was handling the case sneered.

"The law of our country says, to insult others or make up facts to slander others, in serious cases, one will be sentenced to imprisonment or detention under three years. What Ethan did could be criticized. He will be sentenced to death with at least three years for sure!" The police's harsh attitude made Elizabeth knew that Paige couldn't have such an ability. There must be someone powerful helping her. It must be Michael's idea.

She couldn't do anything here, so she had to leave with the lawyer.

Then Liam came in a hurry. "Madam Dawson, the police didn't allow us to bail them. They said that they're suspected of having slandered others, that Paige reported to the police and got Ethan and Sophia arrested. What's going on?"

"You should ask Paige about that. I don't know the answer." Elizabeth was angry with Liam and left angrily.

Liam stood there with a stunned face for a while, and then turned to the police, "What's wrong with her?"

The police was not soft, "Ask yourself."

After being harassed twice in a row, Liam was embarrassed enough and left then.

Anyway, he could not do anything here.

Ethan and Sophia were still dreaming about being bailed, letting time fly in front of interrogation police, without a word.

Seeing that they would not speak, the police closed the door and left.

No one asked questions and no stuff to play with. The feeling of sitting in the room was uncomfortable.

Two hours later, Ethan couldn't stand with the silence finally. He got up and went to the door to knock on it. "Somebody! Come here!"

The police quickly opened the door. "Now you have thought about it clearly and decide to confess the truth?"

"I got nothing to say, and I never break the law. It's illegal to lock me this way, I need to see my lawyer!"

"Your lawyer just came and left!" The police stared at Ethan coldly.

"You can be sent to the detention room when you confess it. There you can sleep, or just waste your time here!"

Ethan would not confess it for sure. The police were angry, cuffed him on the chair in the interrogation room, locked the door and left.

Ethan was confined in the chair and could not move. He was angry and shouted. But no one paid attention to him.

Ethan's voice was hoarse. He sat in the chair and gasped, then fell asleep leaning against the chair.

Like him, Sophia also required to use her rights in the beginning and to meet the lawyer. And later she got scolded by the interrogation police and handcuffed in the chair like Ethan.

They were locked in the interrogation rooms which were separated by a door. Sophia was flustered when she heard Ethan shouting.

It was impossible for Elizabeth to leave Ethan here. She would definitely bail him if she knew that Ethan had been caught. But till now Ethan had been yelling next door, which proved that the Dawson family had no choice this time.

"What to do now?"

In the deep night, Sophia wanted to pee badly and tried to call the interrogation officer. The police,

however, had been bribed by James, so they left Sophia alone all the time. She kept shouting till she peed in her pants.
