Her Cancellation of the Engagement novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 No One Can Bully Her

Dillan furrowed his brows, but before he could think much more, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Harper, we're screwed. The girl we arrested today has some powerful backing. Even the higher-ups have been alerted, and they've ordered us to release her. If we don't comply, we're in serious trouble. You'd better come over quickly!"

He was stunned.

Even the higher-ups were alerted?

What was going on?

Wasn't this just a theft case?

After pondering for a moment, Dillan spoke with a cold face, "So what if she has backing? We uphold justice and we haven't wrongly accused anyone. As a suspect, it is her duty to cooperate with us for the investigation."

"Suspect? We've already called your mother, and she didn't lose her bracelet," the person on the other end said. "Also, Ms. Geller is not a tenant in Fallingwater Community. She recently bought the house at three times the market price."

"What?" He was shocked. "It wasn't lost?"

He suddenly realized something, and his face immediately turned ashen.

"Danny is furious. I made a sneaky call to you. You need to come quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Dillan angrily opened the door and walked quickly towards Amari.

"Slap!"

Amari was talking to Alisa when she was suddenly slapped. She covered her face and looked at him in disbelief. "Brother, why did you hit me?"

Dillan's face turned dark as he glared at her. "Tell me the truth. Did Mom really lose her bracelet?"

His little sister had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he didn't doubt her when she said someone had stolen their mother's bracelet. Besides, when he came back, their mother wasn't there, and therefore he didn't ask much about it.

Who would have thought that she would dare to lie to him.

Amari's eyes flashed as she said, "It really was lost."

"Slap!"

Dillan slapped her again. "You're still lying to me! Amari, is this how I educated you? How dare you falsely accuse someone of such a serious matter? Are you tired of living comfortably in this family?"

Amari turned pale and said, "Brother, you... you already know?"

Dillan was even more enraged when he saw her like this.

Thinking of what Danny had said on the phone, he grabbed her arm and said, "Come with me right now to explain everything. I warn you, if you dare to mess around again, I will kick you out of our family."

Amari didn't even have a chance to speak as Dillan dragged her out.

As they left, Alisa followed behind, appearing completely dazed and unresponsive.

The Criminal Police Unit.

Dillan hurriedly arrived at the Criminal Police Unit with Amari.

From a distance, he could see Danny seething with anger, shouting and berating several law enforcement officers.

He paused for a moment before walking up and said, "Danny."

"And you still remember who I am! You don't even give me enough respect!" Danny saw him and continued to berate him in anger. "Do you think this Criminal Police Unit serves only your family? Do whatever you want? Is this how you usually handle cases, Dillan?"

Dillan was momentarily speechless.

Without waiting for a response, Danny kicked him and said, "What are you standing there for? Go apologize to Ms. Geller! She came here because of you, and now she won't leave! I'm giving you ten minutes to make her leave, or you can leave instead."

Upon hearing this, Dillan immediately rushed into the interrogation room.

As soon as the door opened, Gianna was seen sitting on a chair wearing a face of apathy.

He cleared his throat and forced a smile, "Ms. Geller, I apologize for my negligence. I listened to my sister's one-sided words and brought you here without investigating thoroughly. I apologize to you."
