Madam Jiles, who was brought into the police station by two policemen, was annoyed when she heard that she would be detained as a criminal.
She banged on the desk. "How can you put me into the prison? My lawyer is coming. I want to apply for bail!"
An hour ago, when the policemen arrived at the Hsu's house, everyone was panicked.
Seeing that the policemen went straight to her, Madam Jiles realized that the conspiracy of kidnapping must have failed.
Although she was in a panic, she quickly calmed herself down.
It was just kidnapping!
Before she was taken out of the Hsu family, Madam Jiles ordered her son, Jayden Hsu, to find a lawyer for her.
As long as the lawyer came to the police station, she would be able to apply for bail and then go back home!
"It would just be a simple journey to the police station," Madam Jiles thought. However, the result turned out to be that she was to be detained as a criminal according to law, and she was not allowed to see her lawyer!
"Isn't it just kidnapping!" Madam Jiles said sarcastically. She was still aggressive and arrogant. "Anthea Lee is a granddaughter of the Hsu family who had been raised outside of the family. She gave me the impression that she was too disobedient. As her grandmother, I wanted to teach her a lesson. Is it that serious? she has been rescued. Why do you still want to put me into the prison?"
The policeman on the opposite side sneered. "We can put down the kidnapping case concerning Miss Anthea Lee for the time being. Let's talk about the case that you hired a killer to murder your husband six years ago."
Madam Jiles's face instantly turned pale.
Her eyes looked flustered now, and her previous arrogance was gone instantly. She replied ambiguously, "I, I don't understand what you're talking about..."
"Don't you understand?" The pen in the policeman's hand knocked on the table. "Six years ago, because you were dissatisfied with the will of your husband, a wicked idea came into your head. You wanted to take all the properties of your husband, and therefore you hired a killer to murder him deliberately. Now this killer has been arrested and confessed to the police all the crimes related to himself and you!"
Madame Jiles sat down on the chair.
Her hands were trembling, and she looked frightened.
Six years ago, Master Hsu and Madam Jiles went to California for vacation. Madam Jiles found that her husband always made phonecalls mysteriously in his study, and seemed to avoid her deliberately. Later, she learned that he had contacted the domestic lawyers in private and wanted to make a will.
Madam Jiles immediately became angry when she learned that her husband's will was that half of the legacy would be inherited by Anthea Lee.
Because of the will, Master Hsu and Madam Jiles quarreled with each other almost every day.
Madam Jiles had been insisting that no legacy should be inherited by Anthea. One day, after she quarreled fiercely with Master Hsu, her niece, Shelby Jiles, suddenly visited her, and told her a piece of shocking news, that Anthea had seduced Adam, her former son-in-law!
This made Madam Jiles even more furious. However, Master Hsu still wanted to protect Anthea!
After the Old Master went back to the home country, an evil idea came into Madam Jiles' mind...
In fact, Master Hus had already made his will involving Anthea at a law firm long before he and his wife went abroad for vacation.
The jeep finally arrived at the airport.
There were huge crowds of people, and the radio broadcasting was very noisy.
Anthea was brought here by Adam directly from the police station. She looked confused and didn't know what he wanted to do.
At first, she thought Adam was going to take her somewhere, but after they arrived at the exit of the international arrival hall of the airport, she realized that they were going to pick somebody up.
The radio broadcasting reminded the arrival of the flights. Before long, a great many passengers went out of the exit.
Many of these passengers were walking out with their luggage. Anthea and Adam were standing among them.
Suddenly, Adam raised his hand and yelled out, "Mr. Wadman, we're here!"
