Jack knew there was nothing he could do to save his mother. He glanced at her, considering her stubborn nature. He gritted his teeth and let the police take her away, hoping it might cure her bad habits. Moreover, he didn’t dare to engage with Andre any further, fearing he might retaliate against Ashford Inc..
Jack thought sacrificing his own mother for the stability of his corporation was worth it. “Andre, since you insist on it, I accept her arrest. I only hope that you can let go of your anger and spare Ashford Inc..”
Andre replied coldly, “When did I ever say that all I wanted was an explanation from your mother?” Would he simply forget about Jack’s harassment of his sister? Jack was overestimating himself.
“Andre, you...”
Andre turned to his sister. “Submit the harassment evidence. You and Mia can leave.”
“Alright!” Molly was overjoyed.
Mia clung to her husband’s arm. “Honey, I want to watch the dominating CEO.”
Andre, the dominating CEO himself, was speechless. He coaxed his wife, “You and Molly go out first and check if she’s okay. We can watch the dominating CEO tonight at home.”
Mia glanced at Molly, understanding that her husband wanted her to leave. Not being one to make a fuss, she stood up. “Alright then. Molly and I will leave.”
Molly said, “Andre, I want them all to go to jail.”
Andre replied, “I promise you.”
Immediately, the girls were sent out.
Once they left, Andre didn’t hold back anymore. He achieved his position today, and he didn’t always use the most upright means. He could scare his family with threats, but when it came to dealing with people, he made sure his loved ones wouldn’t witness his action.
“Officers, what can we classify today’s events as?”
The officers looked at the evidence in their hands. “It’s harassment and verbal abuse. As Molly said, at most, it’s a detention of five to ten days.”
Andre placed his phone on the table. A smile played on his face, but it was oppressive. “No, it’s an assault, punishable by imprisonment, over two years.”
Everyone in the meeting room froze, staring at Andre. What was he planning?
Even Coleen was shocked. He wanted to imprison the Ashford family!
A criminal case would not only impact the individuals involved but also have a huge effect on their descendants. Was he really that ruthless?!
Jack was well aware of this. He was also terrified. “Andre, we just had a little dispute. It’s not that serious.”
Andre’s hand landed on his screen. “My sister wants you all to go to jail, and I promised her. Ten or so days is not jail. A decade is.”
Andre didn’t say it outright, but Jack understood. First, they would get her in jail, and then they would dig up other cases against her, piling them up, ensuring his mother wouldn’t leave prison.
Jack felt a chill creep up his fingers, and his legs were shaking slightly. Andre was not someone to be underestimated.
Police officer said, “Andre, although in this case...”
“You just need to make the arrest,” Andre cut him off.
