Chapter 1090 The Arrest
For some reason, Colton''s promise warmed Nicole''s heart.
She lowered her eyes and did not say anything.
As the wedding date grew closer, Colton eventually sent Nicole back to Gould Residence. After the
kidnapping and injury dealt to Rita, the family was much more cautious now.
They hired professional bodyguards to patrol the entire residence at all times. All of that was just to
keep Nicole safe.
The night before the wedding, a group of policemen suddenly knocked on the door of Gould
Residence. Immediately, they marched into the house. When they spotted Rita, the leader of the group
even respectfully greeted her.
"Old Mrs. Gould," he called out.
She frowned in confusion when she saw them march into the house. "What is going on, Captain
Tyson? Why are you here with a group of men? Did a criminal sneak into my home?"
She had just been discharged from the hospital. Due to her wound, her face looked unusually eerie
when it darkened.

The Goulds were one of the most powerful families in the country who were extremely well connected.
Hence, Derrick Tyson, the man known as Captain Tyson, remained respectful in his reply.
"Old Mrs. Gould, we have found a lead to your granddaughter''s kidnapping and your assault."
"Is that why you''re here with your men? Are you here to exin what happened?" she asked, still
frowning.
After observing the look on her face, he smiled and answered, "We captured a woman named Queenie
Anderson who was one of the leaders. Her testimony and the evidence she provided proved that there
was a mastermind behind everything. That person is your granddaughter, Evelyn Wrenn."
Rita''s face immediately fell as her hands clenched into fists from where they rested on her knees.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Derrick in thought for a few long seconds before saying in a dark
voice, "You mean to say Evelyn was behind this whole incident?"
He did not give her a clear answer and replied, "We only have Queenie''s testimony right now, so I can''t
come to a proper conclusion just yet. All I ask is that Miss Wrennes with us so that we may get to
the bottom of this. We are here to notify you beforehand, after all."
When she thought about how Evelyn had been behind everything, she was so angry that her cheeks
turned red and her breaths starteding out in harsh pants. As her hands clutched at the nearby
railing for support, the butler hurried over to help her regain her calm.
"Calm down, Madam. You have just recovered from a serious injury. The doctor said to avoid getting
agitated," he said.
She eventually caught her breath. After thumping her chest a few times, she snapped out, "Go get her.
Don''t tell her what''s going on. If she is truly the culprit behind this, just follow the usual procedure. You
do not have to worry about me!"
She was beyond herself with fury. She had lost all love for Evelyn when she knew that Evelyn had
schemed to cause Nicole''s miscarriage. After learning that Evelyn nearly killed Rita in a scheme to hurt
Nicole as well, there was no way for Rita to ignore the crime.
"Thank you, Old Mrs. Gould," Derrick said with a smile.
She dismissively waved her hand and coldly barked out, "Handle this ording to the usual procedure.
If she is truly the mastermind behind this, she will no longer have a ce in the Gould Family!"
He heaved a sigh of relief upon receiving her permission. It was good that they would not be making an
enemy of the Goulds.
He followed the butler up the stairs. When Nicole heard themotion, she poked her head out to find
a group of policemen marching up the stairs. "Miss Nicole," the butler respectfully called out when he
spotted her.
After observing the group for a few moments, she roughly knew what was going on. She smiled and
nodded in greeting. "Thanks for your hard work."
She did not linger any longer and promptly walked away after saying that.
