The policeman said, “I hope you can keep it a secret. In order to reduce the harm to the victims, don’t make this public. After the investigation is completed, we will issue an announcement and clear your name.
“After the investigation is over, we will arrest those suspects who have committed crimes in the videos and the mastermind behind the website. We shouldn’t alert them.”
Evangeline nodded. “I see. But you’d better hurry up. Don’t release the announcement after several months.”
The policeman said, “Don’t worry. It won’t take so long.”
Then Evangeline and the others left through the back door of the police station.
Because when they were brought to the police station, many reporters and live streamers came here after hearing the news and were waiting at the gate of the police station.
If they left through the front gate, they would be blocked again.
Evangeline sent Arthur home first and then went back to the Johnson residence with Dexter.
It was around five o’clock in the afternoon when they got home.
Normally, their parents were still at work at this time. But when Evangeline and Dexter returned home, they found that their parents were both at home.
They were sitting on the sofa with their phones in their hands. They were typing quickly on the screens of their phones, and their eyes were red, looking a little scary.
“Mom, Dad,” Evangeline greeted them politely.
Dexter frowned and said, “Dad, Mom, why did you get off work so early today? There are so many affairs to deal with in the company. Don’t be lazy.” The two of them came back to their senses. They finished typing and then put down their phones.
Laura glared at Dexter and said, “If you care about the company, join it and start to learn things as soon as possible. Don’t make trouble outside all the

time. Then we don’t have to worry so much.”

Bradley asked, “What happened to you two? Why did you cause such a big trouble again?”
They didn’t pay much attention to the showbiz but still heard the news, because it had already been on the law channel. Some people questioned whether Evangeline and Dexter’s background was so strong that they could commit crimes without going to jail. They were released after one night while the victim was still kept by the police.
People who knew that Evangeline and Dexter were from the Johnson family even called them to ask what happened. Laura and Bradley also wanted to know what had happened.
When the news first spread online last night, they got the message immediately and tried to contact Dexter to ask him what happened.
Dexter only replied to them: [Don’t worry. Evangeline won’t do anything wrong or bad. If she targets that person, it means that there is something
that wrong with him, and he deserves that. I will find evidence to prove Evangeline is right.]
After that, no matter how many times they called and texted Dexter, he just ignored them. He even felt too annoyed and blacklisted them because they called him too often.
The two of them were so angry that they stayed up all night. Last night, they kept reading the public opinions on the Internet and bought a few accounts to convince those netizens who were scolding Evangeline.
Today, they were worried that Evangeline’s matter could not be solved and Dexter might make bigger trouble, so they were not in the mood to go to the company at all. They stayed at home all day, paying attention to the news online while waiting for Dexter and Evangeline to come home.
At noon, when they saw Dexter being taken away by the police because of hurting someone, they were so anxious.
Evangeline’s problem hadn’t been solved yet, and Dexter was also in trouble. They wanted to go to the police station to check on the situation, but they never received a call from the police.
According to their experience, if the police didn’t inform their family to deal with it, they would generally be fine, so they continued to wait at home

Dexter said unhappily, “We didn’t make trouble. It was someone else. Evangeline did a good thing last night, and I got extorted today.” Then Dexter gave a brief account of what had happened last night, including today’s incident and what Jackson had done.

Dexter said, “The police have to arrest the criminals, so we can’t make a statement now to alert them, in case they hear the news and run away in advance. After the police arrest them and make an announcement, the public opinion on the Internet will naturally become normal.”
Hearing this, both his parents breathed a sigh of relief.
Bradley said, “Then you two have to stay at home during this period of time and don’t go out. Although you are innocent, the netizens do not know that. I am afraid that if you go out and encounter emotional netizens, you will be hurt.”
Laura said, “If you encounter anything in the future, you must tell us. We are a family. We should solve problems together. Don’t always solve them without telling us. You even blacklisted us when we contacted you.” Evangeline and Dexter nodded perfunctorily. Evangeline said, “Dad, Mom, I’m going upstairs to take a rest. I didn’t sleep all night last night. I’m a little tired.”
Laura said with concern, “I’ll let the kitchen prepare dinner now. Eat something before you go to bed.”
Evangeline said, “I’m not hungry. I don’t want to eat anything.”
Laura said, “No, you do.” Then she stood up and pulled Evangeline to sit beside her.
She knew Dexter very well. If Evangeline didn’t eat anything, he would also do the same.
She had realized that if she wanted to control Dexter, she had to start with Evangeline.
Evangeline was dragged by Laura, so she could only wait for dinner.
Dexter also sat beside her obediently.
After dinner, Evangeline could finally go upstairs to take a rest.
She slept well. When she woke up the next day, she finally had time to read news and comments online. People were all cursing them.

[I’m so
disappointed. Evangeline’s incident has become such a hot issue, but the police haven’t given us any explanation. They just released Evangeline and let the innocent victim suffer in jail. Do we still have law?!]
[Please run a thorough investigation of the police in Lyrendia. They must have been bribed by Evangeline or pressured by her backer. We can’t just let it go!]
[Alas, I can’t love our country anymore. I couldn’t be more disappointed.] [If they don’t punish Evangeline, I won’t defend Clusia anymore! Go to hell!] In addition to the angry curses, there were some rational neutral voices. [Since the police dared to release Evangeline aboveboard, they must have checked that there was nothing wrong with her. I believe that there are some shady things in our country, but no one will be so stupid and lawless as to ignore public opinion and break the law when so many people are paying attention to this matter. This matter is so heated and it happened in Lyrendia. It’ll soon be reported to the superiors. If they really have broken laws, they’ll be put in prison as soon as the superiors send people to look into it. Would anyone be so stupid?]
