Henry was unmoved. “Mr. Tremont has made it very clear, both of you will have to go. Mr. Kinsey, your only crime is hiring thugs to vandalize personal property and issuing threats. Your sentence will probably be quite light. However, your daughter deliberately rammed her car into someone else’s car, causing the victim to miscarry and unable to have children so I’m not too certain about her. Will your daughter give up the people who helped her cover up? Well, that all depends on her.”
Jean widened his eyes. “Didn’t Mark cover up for her as well?”
Henry furrowed his brows. “Mr. Tremont is a kind man. His kindness simply stems from the fact that your daughter is slightly related to Mrs. Tremont. Mr. Tremont is a victim after all. Your five minutes are up. Would you like to go to the police station or shall we settle this here?”
Aery was completely terrified at this point. Without any hesitation, she screamed, “The police! Let’s surrender ourselves to the police!” She would much rather go to the police than face a horrifying and unknown consequence. She could always ask for Helen’s help when she arrived at the police station. It was better than dying here. Regardless of her current animosity with Helen, Helen was still her mother. She refused to believe Helen would abandon her and watch her life go to ruin! Most importantly, Helen was one of the people who had covered up for her. If Helen refused to help her, she would reveal everything. At that time, Helen would not be able to escape as well!
Henry no longer said another word. He sent the father and daughter to the police station before calling Mark. “Sir, we’ve sent them to the police station. They definitely won’t go to jail without a fight and will certainly ask Helen for help. I’m afraid… Helen might ask Mrs. Tremont for help…”
“Do not let them contact Helen until they’re safely behind bars,” Mark bluntly replied.
Henry mumbled a response and ended the call.
...
At the police station, Aery noticed the bodyguards left just as she was about to give her statement so she promptly refused to give a statement. She asked to make a phone call.
The police denied her request and said apathetically, “No one can help you now. I’m sure you understand what I mean. If you refuse to stay in jail for three to five years, the consequences will be worse. Quit while you’re ahead.”
Aery was like a deflated balloon upon hearing this. “Mark… You’ve been so cruel to me all because of Arianne, a woman who doesn’t even love you! Why are you doing this to me… What does she have that I don’t? What does she have that I don’t?”
No one answered her. After completing their transcript, she and Jean were placed behind bars. Their trial would come sooner or later.
Henry rushed back to the capital once everything was settled.
