The police car was parked outside. However, it wasn’t as intimidating as the Whalen family’s fleet of cars.


    The police knew that this case wasn’t as straightforward as it appeared.


    Raeleigh and Zorion were led into the police car and taken away. Deanna was already on the phone with herwyer, ready to file awsuit in order to prove their innocence. Raeleigh wouldn’t have to worry about anything at all.


    Deanna got into another car and tailed the police.


    She arrived at the police station moments after the policemen did.


    Holding the notebook in her hand, Deanna got out of the car and walked towards the policemen. “You drove too slowly. I had to ask my driver to stop several times,” she said teasingly.


    The policemen were dumbstruck. What in the world?


    As soon as Raeleigh and Zorion got out of the police car,she rushed over tofort them.“Don’t worry. Justice is on our side. I have already called mywyers, they will be here in no time.”


    Before Deanna could even finish talking, four ck sports cars pulled up in front of the police station simultaneously,upying all the parking spaces that were meant for the police’s own use. Then, a few people alighted from the cars.


    There were four men in ck suits. Their assistants hurried behind them, carrying bags.


    They approached Raeleigh and Zorion.“Mr. Zorion, Miss Deanna.”


    Deanna introduced Raeleigh to thewyers. Turning towards Raeleigh, they greeted her politely, “Hello, Miss Anson.”


    Raeleigh responded with a swift nod.


    One of thewyers said, “We’re going to do a full-body check to prevent any hups. Kindly cooperate with us.”


    As soon as thewyer said this, the people behind him started taking out the things they would need to conduct the check-up.


    There was even a photographer who took a picture of them as well.


    “Mr. Zorion, this way, please.”


    “Miss Anson, this way, please.”


    “Sorry to trouble you.”


    Raeleigh and Zorion entered the police station. Scarlette rubbed her temples. If she was part of the Criminal Investigation Team, she would surely flip out. Scarlette thought to herself.


    Carrying the notebook, Deanna followed them into the station. She sat together with thewyers, listening attentively to what the police were saying.


    The Criminal Investigation Team was under a lot of pressureas they were up againstfour prominentwyers from Capital City.


    Raeleigh and Zorion were being detained in the police lock-up.


    Not long after, Jepherson arrived.


    He dashed into the police stationwith Stuart behind him.


    Stuart immediately pulled up a chair for Jepherson. He sat down with his legs crossed, his gaze focused on Scarlette and Deanna, who were busy gaming.


    “Jepherson, you’re here,” said Deanna.


    She was so busy gaming that she didn’t even bother to look up.


    “Don’t mind me, there’s no hurry,” Jepherson didn’t want to pester Deanna. Instead, he threw a sharp nce at Scarlette. It made her heart thump like mad.


    She instantly stopped what she was doing and looked at Jepherson,startled.


    Even Stuart had an annoyed expression on his face. It was already veryte at night and they had disturbed Mr. Jepherson’s rest. What were they up to? He thought to himself.


    What happened was no small matter. If the principal had not called, would Scarlette have kept it to herself? Jepherson fumed.


    Scarlette felt wronged.Her phone had been confiscated, so she had no chance of telling him.She was with Deanna all this while, not to mention that Zorion’swyers were there too.


    Jepherson looked away when he saw the head ofthe Criminal Investigation Team.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    He approached Jepherson, but Jepherson didn’t even look up.


    The head of the investigation team knew that Jepherson was not someone to be trifled with.The rtionship between the Richards family and the Whalen family was not an ordinary one.Handling this matter wouldn’t be easy if Jepherson was here on behalf of the Whalen family.


    “Mr. Richards.” The head of the investigation team was aware of Jepherson’s identity. As the youngest vice president in Capital City, he was legendary.


    Jepherson looked at him and said, “I don’t want any details. I’ll find out for myself. I only want to know if they can be released on bail.”


    “Of course.” It was impossible for the Criminal Investigation Team to reject Jepherson’s request.


    Jepherson stood up and said, “I’ll bail them out.”


    “This way, please.”


    As soon as Jepherson signed the necessary paperwork,Raeleigh and Zorion were released from the police lock-up.


    Raeleigh yawned as she walked out, feeling sleepy. It was alreadyte at night.


    Zorion walked over to Raeleigh and so did Jepherson. From the looks of it, it seemed that Jepherson was here to see Zorion, but in fact, he was there to see Raeleigh.


    Jepherson made sure that Raeleigh was fine before turning to Zorion.


    “How are you?” Jepherson asked Zorion. Zorion knew full well that Jepherson was not here for him.


    “I’m fine.”


    “Let’s go,” Jepherson turned around and walked away. Raeleigh looked at his retreating figure and followed him with Zorion,Scarlette, and Deanna behind her.


    Raeleigh was practically dozing off once she got into the car.Next to her, Zorionlifted his arm, wanting to pull her closer so that she could lean on his shoulder.


    Jepherson caught sight of it and asked, “What just happened?”


    Jepherson raised his voice so that it woke Raeleigh up. She had never heard him speak so loudly, it seemed like he was mad.


    She opened her eyes and looked around.


    Scarlette and Deanna were fast asleep, only the three of them were awake.


    Jepherson had deliberately spoken loudly.


    Raeleigh pondered for a moment before leaning away to one side.


    Zorion answered, “We have no idea.”


    Jepherson stopped questioning. In fact, he wasn’t interested in Zorion. Even if something happened, he knew that Rayan would own up to it. Zorion would be all right.


    Raeleigh was the reason he came tonight.


    Tremendously exhausted, she was about to fall asleep again.


    Zorion scooted closer to her and said, “Raeleigh.”


    “Hmm?” Raeleigh opened her eyes and turned to Zorion. Zorion nced at his shoulder, hinting at Raeleigh to lean on it.


    Raeleigh shook her head. “It’s all right.This will do.”


    Jepherson lowered his head and looked at his watch. “Your mom called. She wants you back home. I’ll send you back.”


    “That won’t be unnecessary. Raeleigh and Scarlette can stay at my ce tonight,” Zorion interjects.


    At this, Raeleigh jolted awake again. She turned to him and said, “No, it’s okay. Scarlette and I will go back to our dorms. We can’t stay at your ce.”


    “It’ste. You might not be able to enter.”


    “But we still shouldn’t stay at your ce.I’ll go home, then.” Raeleigh decided. For a moment, Zorion was silent. He red at Jepherson, who was sitting opposite him.


    Zorion and Deanna were dropped off at their home. Deanna was still holding Raeleigh’s notebook.


    Zorion took it from her.


    Deanna watched as the car drove away.


    Taking out his phone, Zorion dialed a number and said, “Follow Jepherson. See what he’s up to.”
