Everyone turned their heads around and saw that a man in a suit had just gotten out of a car from not far away, and he was walking slowly toward them. The man was dignified and mighty, and he had two followers following behind him. The two followers were wearing glasses with golden frames and they were also carrying file folders in their hands. Even someone who did not know these three people were able to distinguish at a glance that they were big shots. What did that big shot say? Vireo was his brother? Many onlookers were confused. The Payne sisters, as well a s their parents, were even more confused a s they looked at that man who was slowly walking toward them.
The second Payne sister, Ashnah, has the sharpest eyes. "Hey, Chloe, isn't this the man we saw at our brother's house the day before yesterday?”
"That's right. It is that man, but he seemed more of a dignified air to him today. Also, why did he say that our brother is his brother? How ridiculous!" Chloe immediately said.
As soon as Chloe said that, the police officer next to her suddenly asked, "Miss Payne, didn't you say just now that the director of South City's Ford Group is your brother's friend?"
Chloe nodded. "That's right! Mister Ford is our brother's friend. Not only is he our brother's friend, but he is also the most powerful—"
Before Chloe finished her words, the police officer cut her off. "Then why don't you know who Mister Ford is?"
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"The man walking over now is exactly the man you had spoken of, who is the highest authority of the Ford Group, your brother's friend, and also the Payne family's friend!" I t was already extremely obvious that the police officer was mocking the Payne family with his sarcastic remark.
Even though the few police officers did not understand the full story, they were able to tell from the Payne sisters' arrogant attitude that they were especially unreasonable. Not only were the police officers able to tell that the sisters were being unreasonable, but they were also able to tell that the sisters were emotionally blackmailing their brother. No, it should be more precise to say that they were emotionally blackmailing the adopted son of the Payne family instead. This doctor, who had just come from the hospital and still looked exhausted, clearly was against his family's behavior. He simply did not get angry because they were his family.
However, everyone in the Payne family, including the parents, was burning their youngest brother, who is also the doctor, at the stake. It was already putting it nicely to say that they were emotionally blackmailing him and burning him at the stake. To put it bluntly, the Payne family was leaching off their adopted son in the name of family ties and morality. Never mind if they were just leeching off him, but they actually even disallow their adopted son to have his own life and make friends i n South City. All the people in his social circle were taken as scammers and criminals by his adoptive parents and their family. What a joke!
The police were not idiots. They were able t o tell what was going on and were incredibly clear about that. However, since the adopted son did not say anything as he was saving face, and the Payne family had yet broken any laws, all the police could do was anxiously watch on. That was because they were unable to handle the dispute within a family, much less use the law to judge the dispute involving familial ties. It s o happened that Mister Ford had appeared at that moment. He was obviously the most suitable person to redress the balance and handle such a case related to family disputes.
The few police officers were looking at the entire Payne family with contempt.
However, as expected of the Payne family, they had always been used to having the wind at their backs and also being bossy. Back then when they were still in their small county, almost everyone was at their mercy. Later on, when their son went to the provincial capital, the Payne family was able to achieve great gains every time they went to the provincial capital. The Payne family had summed up some tricks that would guarantee their success. Firstly, they had to control the adopted son of the Payne family, Vireo. Secondly, they had to b e crafty and flexible in trimming their sails. It was not as if the Payne sisters, as well as their parents, were unable to tell that the police were treating them with contempt. They simply did not care. What they wanted was to seize the opportunity immediately!
