As Theodore saw the prosecutors approaching him, he felt overwhelmed by the impending doom, causing his legs to give in. He collapsed to his knees under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Instantly, all social media platforms and news headlines simultaneously broke the news that Councilman Theodore Savoy had been arrested.
Quick-reacting reporters rushed toward Lance.
“Chairman Iverson! Do you have anything to say about your son-in-law’s arrest?”
“Were you aware of Councilman Savoy’s private dealings?”
“Has Councilman Savoy been mutually benefiting you during his office? Did he covertly leverage his position to provide advantages to the Iverson Group?”
Seething with fury, Lance’s face turned ashen.
He had assumed James would resolve the matter. Instead, the ravenous dogs from the prosecutor's office had stormed in, led by Wyatt Thompson’s second son, Axel Thompson.
It was especially humiliating for Wyatt’s son to publicly arrest his son-in-law, blatantly disrespecting him!
In hindsight, he regretted not leaving earlier during the chaos.
“Dad! Let’s leave now!” James rushed over, hurriedly helping his father to leave.
The reporters followed relentlessly. As Lance struggled to move forward with his son’s help, his shoe came off.
“Oh no! My shoe!” Lance awkwardly held up his left foot.
“Dad! This is no time to worry about your shoes! We need to leave now!” James, frantic and sweating, pulled his father onward.
Thus, Lance had no choice but to flee the scene with one bare foot.
“Look! Why is there a shoe on the ground?!”
“Is that Lance Iverson’s shoe? Was he so flustered that he lost his shoe? Hahaha!”
