    Chapter 144 Battle Arena: Victoria''s Arrest and Logan''s Return


    "I have evidence," Rosa swallowed nervously, "because I was concerned that Victoria wouldter


    retract her promise and won''t hand the project to my husband. I secretly recorded our conversation


    and even obtained her signature on a project guarantee."


    Adeline andwyer Mason exchanged excited nces.


    Adeline called Curtis after gathering substantial evidence.


    "Honey, I want the police to arrest Victoria. Though her sentence may not be long, she may learn a


    valuable lesson from it. What do you think?"


    "You have the final say," Curtis replied firmly.


    Adeline was taken aback and cautiously asked, "Aren''t you worried that this will disrupt family


    harmony?"


    Curtis let out a gentle and affectionate chuckle, "There''s nothing more important than you in this


    world. Plus, maintaining peace in the home requires work from everyone involved. I think never


    standing up to her bullying is not the answer.


    "That''s exactly what I mean! Victoria''s haughtiness will only grow unless we intervene. So, should I


    ask my grandfather, I mean, my father''s opinion about this?"


    Curtis let out a "hmm," followed by a light chuckle. "Adeline, it''s wonderful that you considered


    seeking my father''s opinion. Thank you for considering my parents'' feelings when handling this


    matter. Go ahead. Feel free to give my father a call."


    With Curtis''s approval, Adeline called Frank and gave him a brief rundown of Victoria''s behavior


    during this time.


    "Dad, I''d like to let the police handle this. What do you think?"


    A long silence filled the other end of the phone, and it took a while before Frank let out a sigh. "It''s


    really unfortunate for our family that Leo ended up marrying a woman like her."


    Listening in silence, Adeline couldn''t help but feel a pang of disappointment.


    She could almost predict what Frank would say next: "But family harmony is most important..."


    Being an elder, he always prioritized peace within the family.


    But the next thing she knew, a very firm voice was on the other end of the phone, "Since both of you


    are my daughters-inw, I won''t favor any of you. Just do what you want!"


    Caught off guard by this unexpected response, Adeline paused for a moment before gratefully


    responding, "Dad, thank you!"


    "You''re wee, my child. You''ve suffered a lot during this time," Frank replied, his simple words


    bringing almost tears to Adeline''s eyes.


    The Burtons had never been so supportive of her in her whole life.


    Taking a deep breath, Adeline looked at Mason with determination. "Mr. Taylor, let''s thoroughly


    pursue this matter."


    "Very well!" Mason nodded in agreement.


    With thepelling evidence in hand, the police swiftly began the operation to arrest Victoria.


    Adeline, Mason, and two officers soon arrived at Riley''s mansion.


    The police stormed into the living room abruptly, showing their identification badges to Victoria, who


    was casually drinking coffee. "Hello, Miss Victoria Riley. Here is our identification. We are


    investigating a case of framing and false usations, and we request that you apany us for


    questioning."


    Victoria''s expression changed as she caught sight of Adeline and Mason. As the police officers


    exined their purpose, she was filled with terror, causing her coffee cup to slip from her hand and


    crash onto the floor with a loud noise.

    "What... what do you mean by framing and false usations? I have no idea," Victoria panicked


    and shouted at her servant, "Quick, go get Mr. Riley here."


    The servant hesitated before saying, "Mr. Riley went fishing. He said he didn''t have his cell phone


    with him and told us not to bother him."


    Victoria, shocked, sank onto the sofa and red at Adeline. "It must be you! You called him and told


    him about it, didn''t you?"


    Adeline didn''t argue and instead headed in Victoria''s direction. "We''re a family, so I don''t want


    things to escte any further, and I''ll give you onest chance. You can now call Logan and his


    father in front of me, admit what you have done to me, and apologize. I won''t press charges if you''re


    willing to apologize and make things right."


    "You wish!" Victoria red at Adeline fiercely.


    Adeline shrugged. "Well, in that case, we can now trust the police to handle the matter impartially."


    Adeline took a few steps back, and the police officers came forward to take Victoria away.


    Victoria retaliated fiercely, shouting, "Don''t you dare touch me! I am Mrs. Riley! Let''s see who dares


    toy a finger on me! My husband is the Chairman of The Riley Group. You''ll be digging your own


    grave if you dare to touch me!"


    "Please cooperate, Ma''am! We''ll have to handcuff you if you keep acting this way." One of the


    officers approached her and reached for his handcuffs.


    Victoria refused toply, even putting up a strong resistance by fiercely striking out at the officers.


    "Stay away from me! I''ll sue all of you for sexual harassment! Don''t you dare touch me!"


    Caught off guard by Victoria''s aggressive behavior, the officers had no choice but to restrain her by


    cing handcuffs on her wrists. With a click, the restraints were locked in ce.


    A male voice suddenly rang out from the living room. "What are all of you doing?"


    Adeline turned her attention toward the source of the voice and was taken aback. In the doorway


    stood a man dressed in a sharp and stylish beige overcoat, holding a rolling suitcase, his figure


    outlined against the sunlight filtering through the room.


    It was Logan. He had returned.
