Chapter 1306 Sharing the Good News
How could the police not take a person of interest away just because someone prevented them from doing so? Wouldn’t that trample the police’s authority underfoot?
The policeman’s face darkened as he looked at Amelia with a serious expression. “Mrs. Lore, I’d advise you to step aside. By blocking my way, you’re obstructing us from carrying out our duty as policemen, which would allow us to also take you with us according to the law. So, if you don’t want to go with us to the police station for an investigation, please step aside. Otherwise, you will follow us back to the station.”
As soon as he said that, Amelia subconsciously lowered her outstretched arms a little. The next instant, however, she recalled something and raised her arms again, and her expression became determined once again. “I know nothing about obstructing police duty; all I know is that you want to take my daughter away. As a mother, I’ll never allow you to do that.”
The policeman massaged his temples. “Seems like you won’t listen to us. Very well then. We will take you with us,” he said. With that, he stopped trying to reason with Amelia or showing her respect. He stepped forward, shoved Amelia aside, and grabbed Lynette once again.
Lynette screamed and yelled, “Save me, Mom! Save me!”
Hearing her daughter’s heart-wrenching cries for help made Amelia’s heart ache so much that she found it hard to breathe. After steadying herself, she lunged at the policeman again, threatening, “Let go of my daughter, you mugs, or I’m gonna fight you to the death!”
Seeing how unreasonable she was, the policeman got angry, too; he immediately called the other policeman inside.
Naturally, the other policeman had heard the noise in the ward, but he remained outside without going in since he had to keep an eye on Grayson. Now that his colleague had called him inside, he removed his handcuffs and put them on Grayson before marching him into the ward.
After he and Grayson entered, the policeman who had grabbed Lynette said, “Mrs. Lore is obstructing police duty. Let’s take her with us as well.”
The other policeman nodded. “Okay, seems like they both know their daughter is suspected of murder. Also, they vehemently prevented us from taking her with us, which lands them under suspicion of shielding a suspect. According to the rules, we can indeed take them away for an investigation.”
Naturally, Grayson, Amelia, and Lynette overheard the two policemen’s conversation.
Lynette aside, Grayson and Amelia instantly found it unacceptable. They yelled at the policemen, “What nonsense are you talking about? Our daughter didn’t kill anyone, nor did we shield any suspects. You’re committing slander against us! We’re gonna file complaints against you guys and strip you of your uniforms!”
The two policemen were unperturbed by the husband and wife’s fierce threats. After all, they’d heard a lot of similar threats before. Whenever they arrested a suspect, the latter and their family would always say things like this to resist in an attempt to make them back down and give up arresting them, but none of these attempts had been successful. Paying no attention to the family of three, they took out their phone and called their colleague, who was waiting in the police car downstairs outside the hospital.
After having been informed of the situation, the third policeman immediately rushed to the scene. With that, Grayson, Amelia, and Lynette were forcibly removed from Harry’s ward by the three policemen.
Unwilling to be taken to the police station, the three Lores struggled and hurled abuses along the way. Their speech was so profane that people were astounded, unable to believe that such vulgar language actually came out of the mouths of some rich people who called themselves members of a respectable family. Don’t they say these rich people are educated as elites and thus always speak politely and use honorifics in their conversations without uttering a dirty word?
