Chapter 2241
Why did she not be nicer to her adopted son? He was such a good child. Since childhood, he had been smart, studious, and never let others be worried about him. Also, he cared for his parents and had never competed and fought for the family’s properties. How great he was! Why did the Payne family repeatedly harm their adopted son? They have shot themselves in the foot at that moment! They deserved it! It served them right!
Vireo's adoptive mother never resisted anymore. The Payne sisters had also turned to jelly like soft and rotten tomatoes, and they were not even able to stand up anymore. At that moment, Lucius was the one who still had a little bit of courage and was able to hold himself up. However, no matter how courageous he was, it was also of no help. The police would never let them go. "Mister Lucius Payne, right? Please come with US to the police station together with your entire family."
Lucius continuously retreated. "No, no, no. I'm already so old. I can't go to prison. I can't go to prison."
"Criminals can be of any age, Mister Payne!" said the police officer as he ridiculed him.
Lucius shuddered. "I would like to know how many years I will get if found guilty of abduction?"
"I don't know! That's determined by the court. I'm only in charge of catching the people! However, I have to tell you guys something. If you had harmed and killed someone, then it's definitely the death sentence!" the police officer answered truthfully.
"No..." Lucius sat on the ground dejectedly.
"Dad!" Chloe shouted miserably.
At that moment, Abigail spoke of the truth. "Dad, you can't collapse. Mom as well. If both of you collapsed, then what would happen to us? vireo would still show you some respect, but he certainly will not do anything for our sake. Mom..."
Abigail knew it best how she had treated her brother since childhood. Ever since she could remember, Abigail had been bullying her brother in every possible way, and she had never been merciful to him. Thinking about that at that moment, if her brother truly became the son of a powerful family in South city, then Abigail certainly was doomed. The only solution she was able to think of at that moment was to beg. She had to beg her parents and let them beg Vireo to spare their life for the sake that they had raised him.
"Dad, Mom, you can't collapse, what should we do if both of you collapse? Mom and Dad, you have to save US," Abigail shouted hysterically in tears.
At that very moment, while they were being surrounded and watched by so many people, the five members of the Payne family wailed in unison outside of Gloria's small house without a single care for their image at all. Lucius even rolled around on the ground as he was resisting the police's arrest. There were only a few police officers who came, so they could only call for backup at that moment. The backup also came very quickly. Within five minutes, a large number of people came and they all carried handcuffs.
