My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394

“Yes, this is the Berry Residence. What’s the matter, Sir?”

The officer leading the group showed a piece of paper in front of Mary. “This is an arrest warrant. We went to Berry Furnishings but didn’t see him. Is he at home?”

Mary’s face was instantly drained of blood, as she asked with trembling lips, “Arrest? Why arrest him? What did he do wrong?”

“We received an anonymous report that Horace Berry engages in tax evasion, and we have solid evidence. So, we’re arresting him,” the officer replied. “Please get in touch with Horace Berry. Otherwise, we will post a nationwide arrest warrant on the Internet.”

Mary went weak in the knees and staggered, nearly passing out.

Fortunately, Penelope hurriedly supported her by her side. “Mom, mom, are you okay?”

“W-Where should I find him? He went to the company in the morning. He hasn’t come back since,” Mary bawled.

What do we do if Horace goes to jail? What will we eat? Where will we get the money to spend? How will I maintain my lavish lifestyle? Penelope has now lost her job as well.

Mary felt like her whole world was caving in.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Horace rushed in sweating and shouted anxiously, “Darling, hurry up and pack some clothes for me. I’m going out—”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the policemen standing in the living room. His voice got stuck in his throat, making him unable to speak anymore.

W-Why are the cops here?

He was ashen-faced. He had only escaped from the company after his assistant said that the police were looking for him.

He initially wanted to go home, pack some clothes, and leave, but to his dismay, the police were already waiting for him at home.

He widened his eyes in disbelief as the police walked up to him and handcuffed him.
