Mizuki suddenly raised her head and spotted Nathan and Penny in the crowd.
She glared at Nathan furiously. “It's you! You were the one who did it, right? It must be you!"
As she screamed, she scrambled to her feet angrily and pounced at Nathan.
However, before she could reach him, she was stopped by a few police from Jetroina.
A female police officer said to Mizuki sternly, “Hello, I'm Yasutake Naomi, chief of the criminal investigation unit in Jazona. I suspect that you're involved in multiple murders. Please follow us back to assist with the investigation. Here's the arrest warrant.”
As Yasutake spoke, she raised the arrest warrant in her hand.
Mizuki protested furiously, “My father is Matsuo Yori. If you dare to arrest me, you'll all be in deep trouble!”
Yasutake replied coldly, “You have the right to remain silent, but I'll be recording everything you say, which will be used in court. Hence, please be careful of what you say.”
Mizuki knew that she was in trouble. However, she did not know how Nathan managed to investigate all of her deepest secrets and expose them to the public.
She turned around and instructed her bodyguard, who had just arrived, “Inform my father and tell him to get me a lawyer.”
The latter replied, “Understood.”
Mizuki finally calmed down. The police cuffed her hands and brought her away.
When she passed by Nathan and Penny, she stopped in her tracks and shot him a resentful glare. Her voice was laced with hatred as she growled, “Very well! How dare you play tricks with me in Jetroina? It'll be impressive if you can leave Jetroina alive.”
With that, she raised her head and strode away with a few police officers accompanying her.
The journalists rushed behind her and snapped photographs of her being shoved into the police car.
Frowning, Penny asked Nathan softly about what happened.
He did not conceal anything. Chuckling, he explained everything.
Only then did Penny realize that Mizuki wanted to sabotage her but ended up digging her own grave.
Nathan explained calmly, “Initially, I just wanted her to get a taste of her own medicine as a small punishment. I didn't expect her to be so wicked! A simple investigation revealed that she had been involved with multiple homicides. Hence, I informed the police in Jetroina. In doing so, I'm also helping the people here by eliminating such threats to society.”
Penny nodded. However, she smiled bitterly and said, “But by doing so, we'd offend the Yori Corporation. Matsuo probably won't let this slide so easily.”
