Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1006

But to her surprise, these officers today… actually had the audacity to act for real.

Mr. Olson stared at the officer in front of him for a few seconds. Beside him, the Olson family's lawyer immediately stepped forward.

"Officer, I am the legal representative of the Olson family. I would like to clarify a few points.

"First, my clients are currently suspects, not criminals. I ask that the police be mindful of their wording. Second, based on my preliminary understanding, even if there was misconduct on my clients' part, given that both sides are family, this is a domestic dispute that can be resolved internally. Third, the incident this afternoon did not result in any actual harm and should be considered relatively minor.

"Finally, my clients have permanent residence in Goldmont City, stable occupations, and pose no flight risk. Based on these factors, I am formally applying for bail on their behalf."

The officer glanced at him. The way the man spoke didn't sound like a request—it sounded like a command.

"Bail? Drugging, attempted kidnapping, and even involvement in arranging assault—you think that's minor?"

"These are merely allegations, not convictions," the lawyer replied calmly. "And as far as I'm aware, the so-called 'assault arrangements' are, at present, only Winnie's unilateral claims, without substantive evidence. As for the alleged drugging and attempted kidnapping, those do warrant investigation. However, in the absence of serious consequences, my clients have the right to apply for bail."

There was already sufficient evidence regarding the drugging and attempted kidnapping of Winnie. However, no suspects had been found at the hotel where she had been taken. What happened afterward still required further investigation.

After finishing his statement, the lawyer even handed Winnie his business card with a faint smile.

"Winnie, the conflict between you and your parents has long been common knowledge in Goldmont City. Why not sit down and talk? Perhaps we can reach a settlement."

The lawyer's words were sharp and calculated, but Winnie refused to take the bait.

A settlement was out of the question—this was nothing more than an attempt to provoke her.

Winnie stood to the side, watching the scene unfold in silence.

She had expected this all along. The Olson family had money and plenty of lawyers. It wouldn't be easy to take them down in one move.

But that didn't matter. That had never been her goal tonight. What mattered most was reclaiming her inheritance—and the patent.

Khloe had reminded her as well: don't let emotions take over, and don't expect to bring down the Olson family in a single strike.

In the end, after taking several calls and a tense standoff, the officers allowed the lawyer to secure their release on bail.

However, they assured Winnie that no matter what, the case would be thoroughly investigated—and justice would be served.
