The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 1254

Chapter 1254 

“Didn’t you say Zephyr would help the Summer family? Look at us now! How’s this helping at all? He didn’t even bother!” fumed Peter. 

Harriet’s face fell. “It’s all because of Riley screwing us up.” 

“You’re the one useless as hell. After donkey years, you still failed to win Zephyr’s heart,” reprimanded Peter. 

Harriet’s visage became all the grimmer on the spot. “In two days, my parents-in-law will be back with Hendrick. By then, even if Zephyr refuses to come up with something, I can always ask my parents-in-law to help the Summer family out. If I were to go to jail, the Scott family name would be dragged through the mire!” 

“Are you sure they’ll really help us?” Larissa was worried. 

“You all know how much they doted on Hendrick, don’t you? Besides, over the years, Zephyr never had anyone else except me. Hendrick is the Scott family’s only heir!” stated Harriet. 

Only after hearing that did Larissa feel a tad relieved. 

At that moment, a housekeeper suddenly hurried in and reported, “Mr. and Mrs. Summer, Ms. Summer, the police are here, saying that they’re going to take you back for questioning.” 

The Summer family of three were astounded. 

Before they had time to react, the police officers had already stepped in and called out all their names right away. “We now suspect that you’re related to Riley’s case. You guys will need to come with us. In addition, Ms. Harriet Summer, I’m afraid that you’re also allegedly involved in an assault, intentionally putting others in harm’s way and causing physical disability.” 

On the heels of that, another policeman stepped forward and handcuffed the three members of the Summer family. 

The trio’s mien took an immediate change for the worse. It was then that Peter began to bellow, “We’ll be cooperative with the police investigation, but what are these handcuffs for, huh? Are you taking us as suspects already? I need to speak to my lawyer! We’re suing you!” 

“Of course, you’ll get to contact your lawyer following the procedures

later on. But now, you three are prime suspects, so you’ll be put under temporary detention!” 

Hearing that, Peter and Larissa looked terrified. Harriet, on the other hand, pinned her gaze on the chilly handcuffs on her wrists. The turn of events had completely taken her by surprise. 

Given that the police force was arresting and detaining them, the authority must have obtained substantial evidence against them. 

At present, the only thing the Summer family could count on was a helping hand from the Scott family. 

“As long as we drag the issue on for another two days, we’ll still stand a chance when my parents-in-law return with Hendrick!” was Harriet’s thought. On that note, she signaled her parents with a meaningful gaze, hinting them not to give themselves away upon reaching the police 

station. 

Peter and Larissa were 

back to their senses at that time. Observing the hint hidden behind the gaze of their daughter, they naturally understood what to do. 

Still, when the police came out of the Summer residence with the Summer family of three, a parade of reporters had already hunkered down outside, surrounding the place. 

The reporters flocked toward the three members of the Summer family and put forward various questions. 

Not a peep came from the trio as they got into the police car. 

Almost five minutes later, the first piece of news about the Summer family getting into a police car was spread online. 

Immediately afterward, more relevant news went viral all over the internet, and their infamous news garnered more and more attention from the public. 

Riley watched the news on her phone about the arrest of the Summer family of three. She then turned to Rosalie in front of her. “Were these all your doings?” 

Rosalie flashed a faint smile in return. “I merely submitted the evidence I collected to the police, including some records of their account transactions that they bribed the doctors back then and the verbal recordings of those doctors.”

“How about the news that said the police were still investigating my physical disability, inflicted by Harriet? Were you the one who submitted the evidence as well?” Riley asked. 

“That’s not me,” revealed Rosalie. “There was a file placed at the door of my hotel room. The person rang my doorbell, and I answered the door, only to find the document lying there. It detailed thoroughly about your missing finger and the deets of those who were present at that time.” 

That hit Riley with a surprise. “Who put that piece of information at your doorstep?” 

Rosalie said, “No idea. At that time, the person was wearing a cap and a thick coat, leaving right at the corner after confirming that I had seen the file. That person also hailed a taxi outside the hotel and deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras on the road. Not only that, but the license plate of the taxi is also fake, so no one could trace it.” 

Those were the findings Rosalie got from checking the surveillance footage after the incident. 

“Who could that person be?” Riley was confused. 

“No matter who that person was, at least we know that these materials were given either to aid you or to be at odds with Harriet,” Rosalie guessed. 

To think that someone was trying to offer her a helping hand, Riley could not believe such a person existed other than Rosalie and Amelia. 

“Is it the Griffin family?” she wondered. 

Then again, she reckoned the Griffin family most probably would not have done it. Even though Nicholas’ car crash was not an accident, the Griffin family would only try their best to find out who caused the car accident instead of spending time to prove that Harriet was the culprit who cut off her finger. 

Riley was clueless about who was behind it, for it baffled her that one would actually do that for her, a poor lady who had lost everything in life. 

No longer did Riley wish to dwell on figuring out the identity of the person who gave her a hand. Instead, she asked Rosalie about the time the latter would depart from Lommore, “By the way, on which day would you be leaving?”
