Although Natalie had just met Vannah the previous night, Natalie sympathized with Vannah. She did not want the poor woman to receive a death sentence.
Moreover, that man deserved it!
"No, you can't take her away. Please don't take her away." An unspeakable fear shrouded Natalie as she grabbed Vannah's hand desperately to prevent the officers from taking Vannah away.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to interfere with our work?" The officer glared at Natalie and he looked like he was going to attack Natalie.
"Everyone has freed om of speech, so how is that interfering with your work?" A crisp and cold voice suddenly rang out in the cell.
Natalie held her breath.
It was Tobias' voice. She turned to look for the source of the voice and she spotted Tobias approaching her cell calmly.
Tobias was like the sun in the narrow and dark cell.
The two police officers were good-looking and they were in their uniforms. However, they were nothing in front of Tobias.
Tobias looked dignified and he did not look like an ordinary man. Although the officers did not know Tobias, they dared not take him lightly.
"This woman is stopping us from escorting the suspect," one of the officers retorted. Tobias glanced at him. Although it was just a casual glance, his gaze was intimidating.
"Ask your director to come and meet me."
The officers were taken aback.
The man asked the director to come and meet him instead of going to meet the director himself. Evidently, he was not an ordinary man.
The two officers dared not speak and went to notify the director immediately.
After that, the events unfolded swiftly. Benjamin arrived and handed a few things to the police station.
The first piece of evidence was a video. It recorded Madison and Queenie beating up Natalie violently.
The second piece of evidence was a document issued by the hospital. Madison just suffered from minor injuries and it was not as serious as the police report claimed.
The third piece of evidence was the testimony of passersby. They witnessed that Natalie was attacked and that she had defended herself.
The director ordered the police to release Natalie and he apologized to Tobias repeatedly.
Natalie was puzzled. The director was apologizing to Tobias? How powerful was Tobias?
The director reprimanded the officers who arrested Natalie.
"Miss Godfrey did it out of self-defense, so how could you arrest her? You guys have been doing this job for years, so why don't you even know that?
How could you even arrest her without any evidence?"
Tobias watched as the director taught the officers a lesson and uttered to Natalie indifferently, "Let's go."
Natalie tailed Tobias to the entrance of the police station but she stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Tobias' dark eyes were fixed on Natalie's face.
Natalie knew that it was an awful request but she wanted to bring it up.
"Tobias, could they release the woman who was in my cell too? She's innocent." Natalie gave Tobias a pleading look.
Natalie knew that Tobias was very influential and he could help Vannah.
Tobias did not reply.
The weather was great and the warm sun shone on Tobias. He looked like he was basked in a halo of light and he looked extremely handsome.
