Chapter 1734 A Trouble-Maker


    Police never like the attitude of rich and arrogant young men. Hence when they chanced upon a reason


    to detain ck, they took it happily.


    ck was forcefully pressed to the ground by the police. Ronald, on the other hand, was covering his


    face with his hands, pretending to be badly hurt. Then he started to mumble something about suing


    ck for what he had done.


    Holley never thought that ck would hit Ronald. She looked at ck, unable to say anything. At this


    moment, it seemed like her ability to speak was diminished.


    ''It was between him and me, but now there is a third person involved! What am I going to do about it?''


    Holley thought to herself.


    The police kept them in three separate rooms, which was a necessity ording to their regr routine.


    Then, they started to interrogate them, one by one.


    ck didn''t say anything in front of the police. He knew that Rex must be on his way, so there wasn''t


    any need to say anything in self-defense. ''Rex will be able to get me out of this mess. I need not put in


    any effort, '' ck thought with smug satisfaction.


    But Holley had no one to defend her. She had to rely on herself. With determination, she thought, ''I


    have to make them believe that I was trapped.'' But when they went to Ronald, he said that Holley was


    the one who had seduced him. He profusely med her for everything. Due to their contradictory


    ims, the police inspectors were baffled.


    After a while, the officer lost his temper and mmed his fist down on the desk. He yelled at Ronald,


    "You! Let me tell you something. We know everything about you, so don''t try to hide anything. We know


    about your criminal record, and we also found several prior convictions. Don''t pretend to be innocent in


    front of us. That facade won''t work here. If you admit your guilt right now, we will offer you a lenient


    punishment. But, if we find out that you are lying, you will be punished even harder. Do you


    understand?"


    Initially, this police officer had behaved nicely. Hence, Ronald hadn''t expected he would change his


    attitude so quickly. He clearly noticed that the officer was threatening him. And he also knew that it was


    not just an empty threat. The officer meant what he said.


    With that thought in mind, Ronald lowered his head, not answering anything for a while.


    When the officer saw him behaving like that, he thought that Ronald was still nning to waste their


    time by beating around the bush, so he started yelling again, "Do you understand?! Answer me,


    Ronald!"


    Ronald was shocked by his words. He suddenly looked up and stared into the officer''s eyes. "Okay. I''ll


    speak up. I''ll say whatever I know."


    Ronald didn''t dare to lie again, so he told the police everything that had happened, which was simr to


    Holley''s im.


    The officer got angry upon hearing his words. "I knew it! I knew you were lying. Liar! Wait and see.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    You''re going to pay for your lies!"


    It was not a big deal, but Ronald had wasted a lot of time by withholding the truth. Hence, it was only


    fair for the police to get furious. He had made their job difficult.


    At the same time, ck, who was in the room next to Ronald''s, carried on remaining silent. No matter


    how hard the police questioned, he just refused to answer. The police couldn''t do anything about it.


    The condition of the police officer in Holley''s room was not any better either. He couldn''t get any


    detailed answers. It was a sensitive topic, so Holley was ashamed to talk about it. His embarrassment


    intensified when she cried. In short, the police couldn''t squeeze much information out of her. Her sobs


    intervened in his attempts.


    Therefore, the only one who was able to talk at that time was Ronald. He told almost everything to the


    police, honestly and clearly. Then, he looked at the officer in front of him with expectation in his eyes.


    "Officer, I''ve already told you everything that I know. Am I allowed to go now?"


    "What? You think that we are running a hotel here? Do you think you can leave as you please?" the


    officer roared as he looked at Ronald seriously.


    Upon hearing his words, Ronald knew that there was no chance for him to escape. With no option, he


    decided to shut his mouth and stay there.


    After Ronald told the police everything, he was detained. His words proved that Holley was innocent. If


    anyone came to bail her out, she would be able to leave immediately. However, after ck hit Ronald


    so impetuously, the only one who could bail Holley out was detained in the room next to hers.


    Just when Holley was racking her brain for ways to escape, Rex entered the police station.


    Although Holley didn''t think he would help her, his appearance brought a sense of hope in her heart.


    ''Of course, he is going to have ck released. And ck would never leave me alone in such a ce!''


    she thought to herself.


    On the way to the police station, Rex had prayed silently. He hoped that this had nothing to do with


    Holley. However, when he saw Holley, his face contorted angrily. He looked at a policeman and asked,


    "What happened?" A frown of displeasure was evident on his face.


    The policeman understood that this man must be here to bail out one of those three people, so he


    answered Rex politely. He filled Rex in on everything they got from Ronald and Holley. Finally, they


    took him to sign the papers to bail out ck and Holley.


    As the process of signing papers and listening to the rules went on, Rex remained silent. After ck


    and Holley got out, he pointed at Holley''s face and cursed, saying, "You bloody shameless whore! You


    are hell-bent on making trouble for my son! You said that you had left him. Is your mouth just full of


    lies? Aren''t you tired of seducing my son!? Leave us already!''''


    Rex felt that he couldn''t hold his emotion back anymore. ''I just don''t understand why ck doesn''t see


    it! Holley never cared for nor loved him. If a woman really loves a man, she would try to keep him out of


    trouble. But thisdy is bad news! Although I''m old, I was also young once upon a time. I know what


    love is, and I know what it is to love someone and to be loved! And in Holly, I don''t see any love for


    ck!'' Rex thought to himself.


    Just as Holley stepped out of the interrogation room, she heard meanments being hurled at her.


    An embarrassed look made its way to her face. In front of a lot of police officers, her dignity was being


    crushed. Helplessly, she looked at Rex and frowned. There was a part of her that wanted to defend


    herself, but she just couldn''t find anything to say; hence, she remained silent.


    Moreover, there was a part of Holley that believed it was indeed her fault this time.


    "Enough!" ck interrupted Rex''s words. "Father, don''t say that about Holley. She was almost raped by


    that jerk! She''s not in a position to speak right now. Don''t make things worse for her." ck was


    unhappy with Rex. He had never expected that his father was capable of making such rudements.


    He stepped forward and stood in front of Holley like he was trying to protect her against his father.


    "What on earth are you thinking about? Have youpletely lost your mind because of her? She''s just


    a shameless woman! She has never done anything for you, yet you are willing to do everything for


    her!" Rex said, not believing that ck was speaking against him for this woman.


    Anger was oozing out of Rex. He had a million things he wanted to say against Holly and ck. While


    screaming, he choked himself and started to cough profusely.


    ''I can''t understand what is happening! ck has turned out to be a weak man, who can be easily


    fooled by Holley! I am starting to think he is not my son anymore! I am ashamed of him, '' Rex thought


    to himself.


    "Father!" ck noticed that Rex was coughing profusely. He got worried, so he walked towards Rex


    and patted him on his back.


    "Are you all right, father? Do you feel better now?'''' ck worriedly asked Rex in a concern-filled voice.


    But Rex didn''t answer. After he coughed for a while, he somehow felt better. After a while, Rex looked


    at ck unhappily and said, "Now, I thought you only cared about this woman. I take it that you don''t


    want your father anymore, isn''t it?''''


    ck''s lips curled angrily. He remained silent but continued to pat Rex''s back.


    A whileter, Rex was fully recovered. He looked at ck and said, "All right, nowe home with


    me.'''' After saying this, Rex shed ck a quick nce, expecting him to follow.


    ck didn''t utter a word. He obediently held Rex''s arm and walked out of the police station with him.


    Holley went with them silently, but she kept her distance. After they got out of the police station, Holley


    decided to call a taxi and go home on her own.


    But all of a sudden ck appeared in front of her. He looked at her, smiling, and said, "Holley, wait for


    me. I will drive you home!"


    "You want to go back with this trouble-maker?"


    Rex felt his son''s actions were unbelievable. For a while he was fine, but now his anger returned in full


    force. He never expected that ck would be like this, throwing away all his pride and self-respect to


    be nice to Holley again, even though she had cheated on him. ''Is he a fool or something? Why is he


    still dreaming about being with that bitch? She has clearly shown her interest in other men. How can he


    take this so lightly!?'' Rex thought with rage.


    "Father, please, go back home on your own. I would like to drive Holley home first," ck said in a


    hurry. He looked at Rex again and turned around.


    Swiftly, ck grabbed Holley''s arm and walked towards his car.
