After the housekeeper opened the door, eight uniformed men walked straight into the Henderson residence without introducing themselves. They immediately asked the housekeeper, "Are Harold and Yvonne at home?"
"Yes… but who are you?" The housekeeper, caught off guard and confused, felt a rising panic.
"What's going on? You're always making a fuss!" Diana, annoyed by the commotion, stepped out of the dining room. She initially thought it was just a sales call, and she wondered why the housekeeper sounded so flustered.
When she saw the group of uniformed men in the living room, her irritation vanished, replaced by shock and concern.
"Who are you?" She struggled to maintain her composure, though a flicker of alarm crossed her eyes. These men did not come with good intentions.
"Are Harold and Yvonne at home? "the group's leader, a serious-looking young man, asked Diana.
"I'm Yehuda Pace from the Criminal Investigative Division. We are investigating a commercial fraud case and suspect that Yvonne has used improper means to bribe for a project for Henderson Group. The president of Henderson Group may also need to bear some responsibility."
"Bribery? How could this be? Officer, you must be mistaken…" Diana's expression changed as she hurriedly explained, "Yvonne is the most obedient child. How could she possibly use improper means to bribe anyone?"
"What's going on?" Harold and Yvonne, sensing Diana's distress, came out from the dining room.
Yolanda, aware of the commotion, also left the dining room. She quickly recognized Yehuda as one of Joel's subordinates. She feigned ignorance and stood aside to watch.
