Tyrone and Emma panicked, looking at the two police officers uneasily.
However, Mia remained calm and stepped forward in a composed manner. "Hi, may I know what crime did we commit that the two of you have to show up to arrest us?"
She smiled. "If it's because of Sofia's matter, I think that's a family matter. We can solve it ourselves, so there's no need to trouble you."
"Olivia, we don't have to air our dirty laundry in public. Let's talk it out if there are any conflicts or misunderstandings. We don't have to go to the trouble of getting the police involved." Mia looked at Olivia and tugged at Tyrone's shirt, wanting him to speak up.
Tyrone also knew that there would be a lot of trouble if they really went to the police station. He couldn't say for sure whether other matters would be involved then.
In particular, during this period, Xia Construction had suffered various blows from the public, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, as well as the police station, frequently called Tyrone and enquired about the company.
Therefore, he feared seeing the police now.
"Mia is right, Olivia. As a family, we should solve the problems ourselves instead of troubling the police." Tyrone was smart. He immediately approached the two policemen, offering them cigarettes and buttering them up.
"Thank you for making this trip. Haha, it's just an internal conflict within the family. It's nothing serious, so you guys don't have to bother helping us to solve this!" Tyrone smiled ingratiatingly, wanting to send the police officers away.
However, not only did the policemen not leave, but they took out their ID cards and announced in a deep voice, "Tyrone Xia, we have received complaints from the public pointing out that your company is involved in illegal construction and tax evasion. We have reported them to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau as well as the Tax Bureau. Please come with us to the police station."
Tyrone mused inwardly, "They are not here for what happened to Sofia?"
Tyrone was stunned and froze on the spot.
Emma said hurriedly, "Nonsense, my dad didn't do any of those things! These people are framing and slandering him!"
After saying that, she turned her head, shouting at Olivia, "Olivia, was it you? Did you frame Dad and the company because you want to exact revenge on us? Where's your conscience?"
Olivia glanced at Xavier, who had been standing at the end of the corridor not far away smoking and spotted a casual smile on his face. He winked at Olivia as if to assure her not to worry because he was there for her.
For a moment, Olivia didn't know how to describe her mood.
Over the years, she had worked hard, bore everything she encountered by herself and accustomed herself to being alone.
She never thought that there would be a man standing by her side, silently supporting her with his actions during a messy period like this in her life.
"Olivia, was it you?" Tyrone's eyes widened, and his hands trembled. "You unfilial daughter. Will you only be satisfied after you destroy our family?"
Olivia didn't defend herself. Even if she explained that she wasn't the one who called the police, they wouldn't believe her.
She just smiled lazily. "The evil will always be punished. Since you haven't done anything, what do you have to be afraid of?"
"Just you wait," Tyrone threatened with a darkened expression as the police took him away.
Mia and Emma thought the whole ordeal had nothing to do with them, and they didn't have to go to the police station.
Unexpectedly, another police officer approached the two of them and said, "Mia Zhao, you are suspected of a murder case from three years ago. Someone reported you for being a homewrecker and indirect manslaughter. Please head to the police station with me."
Mia widened her eyes and wanted to refute. But another policeman walked out and looked at her. "Emma Xia, you are suspected of slander and affecting other people's reputations, attempted murder by hired killer and more. Please come with us to the station."
