The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 405

Alison swiftly dialed 911. Within the Dawson household, Johanna and Leland had barely caught their breath when the sound of police sirens echoed from outside.

Johanna was momentarily stunned by what she saw. Leland was even more baffled.

What on earth was going on today? Why were the cops showing up at their doorsteps?

Before Johanna could even process the situation, the police had already filed in, with one officer immediately handcuffing Johanna’s wrists, stating, "Johanna, you’re being arrested on charges of financial fraud. We’re acting on a report and need to take you in for questioning."

"What financial fraud? I’ve done nothing wrong!"

Johanna panicked, but the officer was indifferent to her protests, coldly stating, "We’ll discuss this at the station. Take her away!"

"Why are you taking my mom? Let her go!"

Leland attempted to follow, but the officers paid him no heed.

He could only watch helplessly as his mother was led away by the police.

Everything about today was utterly bizarre.

Leland immediately tried to call Freya.

But the call that went through without issue just moments ago was now mysteriously unreachable.
