Chapter 185 Taken Away

Just then, the doorbell rang.

A housekeeper went over and opened the door.

“May I ask who you are?”

finished

“We’re with the city’s Major Crimes Unit. We received a report involving attempted murder, and we need Ms. Mack to come with us to the station.”

The one in front was the captain of the city’s Major Crimes Unit.

As he spoke, his sharp gaze fixed on Zoey, who was sitting in the living room.

A moment ago, Eileen and Zoey were still smiling, plotting to take the Macks’ inheritance from Patrick. Now, the captain’s words froze their smiles in place.

“A report? Who called the police?”

Eileen sprang up from the couch and hurried over to the officers.

“Explain yourselves. Who called the police? It’s obviously some bitch trying to frame my daughter, and you just believe it?”

“The reporting party has provided evidence of Ms. Mack inciting murder. Whether this accusation is false will be determined by the investigation. For now, please have Ms. Mack come with us.”

Zoey turned pale. “Mom, I don’t wanna go to the police station.”

When officers came to take her in person, it wasn’t something she could refuse.

“Zoey, go with the officers first. I’ll have your dad bring the lawyer to see you in a bit.”

Eileen squeezed Zoey’s hand reassuringly and gave her a subtle look.

Zoey remembered what Norris had told her earlier that day, and her heart steadied slightly.

Under the officers’ sharp gazes, she obediently followed them out.

“That vicious little bitch Nella. I knew she wouldn’t let Zoey off so easily.”

After Zoey was taken away, Eileen collapsed onto the couch, cursing Nella nonstop,

Once she finished venting, she calmed down and called Norris to explain the situation.

Then she called the driver and headed to Everwell Advanced Medical Center under the Keywood Group.

On the other side.

In the Bentley heading back to Apex Medical, Nella ended the call with the police, her face expressionless.

Alfred drove while glancing at her, clearly wanting to speak, but holding himself back.

Chapter 185 Taken Away

Finished

Nella couldn’t take it anymore and looked straight at him, asking. “You want to ask why I still called the police to have Zocy arrested?”

Alfred hesitated for two seconds, then gave a quiet hum.

But his eyes instinctively avoided hers, guilt written all over his face, with no confidence at all.

“Because she committed a crime. That’s my responsibility as a citizen,” Nella answered firmly.

Every word landed with weight.

She sat up straight, completely unashamed, in front of Alfred.

Having Zoey, clarify and apologize online was only to calm public opinion. It didn’t mean Zoey could escape legal punishment.

But Nella also knew very well that in this case, if that caregiver insisted there was no connection to Zoey, the law might not be able to convict her.

Whether to call the police was her choice. How the court ruled was beyond her control.

Seeing the resolve in Nella’s clear eyes, Alfred let out a bitter laugh to himself.

After these past few days, he had finally seen things clearly.

Nella truly didn’t care about him anymore.

So even knowing Zoey mattered to him, she still wouldn’t hold back for his sake.

Because she didn’t care, it didn’t matter whether calling the police would make him angry.

After saying that, Nella didn’t look at Alfred’s expression.

At most, he’ll think I’m being unforgiving and insisting on having Zoey arrested.
