Chapter 46 Katherine was taken away by the police
"Alexander calmly looked at the Financial Weekly in his hand and asked, 'What does the police say?'
Leander replied, 'The police are still investigating and interrogating, but there are no results yet.'
Such incidents happen every day in countries around the world, and they are not considered major news or anything novel.
Alexander took a sip of his coffee and said, 'Lower the heat of the news, wait for the police to come up with the results, and respond to public opinion based on official announcements.'
"Yes!" Leander nodded. However, his expression was not as calm as before. He said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Melville, there are rumors that the woman suspected of being a prostitute seems to be named Katherine."
Alexander finally put down the Financial Weekly in his hand, his gaze becoming sharp.
Leander continued, 'I didn't believe it at first when I heard the news. But the hotel's check-in records show that Ms. Galatea did indeed check into Room 3201 of the Melville Hotel this afternoon, and I can't reach her now.'
Alexander remained silent for two seconds and said coldly, 'Don't jump to conclusions without concrete information! Find her first!'
"Exactly! Leander, you must have made a mistake. How could Katherine possibly do such a thing!" Fiona seemed to be defending Katherine, but she was actually setting the stage for what she was about to say next.
Just a minute ago, she received a text message from Gavin: [Mrs. Melville, everything is settled on my end. Don't forget the condition you promised me earlier!]
Now, according to the plan, she opened the news app and clicked on the article in the social news section titled 'Two individuals suspected of prostitution caught in Melville Hotel suite!' She pretended to be surprised and said, 'Brother, come and take a look! The woman who was arrested in the news is wearing the same clothes as Katherine today, and the man next to her also has a tattoo, just like the old friend Katherine met at the mall today!'
With that, she handed her phone to Alexander.
Alexander looked down at Fiona's phone screen. The faces of the two suspects in the news video were blurred, but the woman's clothes were indeed identical to what Katherine was wearing today.
Fiona pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth. 'No way! Brother, could that woman really be Katherine? When she was going to chat with that old friend this afternoon, she refused to take me with her! So they were going to do that kind of thing!'
Alexander remained indifferent, showing no obvious emotions on his face.
At that moment, Sandra, who had rested in the room, walked out and said to Alexander and Fiona, 'Why is it just the two of you? Where is Katherine? Call her down for dinner!'
Alexander was about to stop Fiona, but she had already run over and said, 'Grandma, it seems like the police took Katherine away!'
Upon hearing this, Sandra almost lost her balance, but fortunately, the maid supported her. 'What! Was Katherine taken away by the police? What's going on? What happened to her?'
Fiona showed Sandra the news video on her phone. 'Grandma, look, Katherine was outside this afternoon, doing prostitution, and she got arrested by the police!'
Sandra recognized the clothes the woman in the news was wearing; they were indeed what Katherine had on when she left in the morning.
She was extremely shocked and said, 'No way! Katherine would never do such a thing!'
Fiona said angrily, 'Grandma, we don't want to believe it either, but that's the reality!'
The landline phone in the house suddenly rang!
Since no one was available to answer the call, the butler, Anton, walked over to pick it up.
After listening to the phone call, Anton was momentarily stunned, and then he turned the call on speakerphone.
A very serious voice came from the other end of the line, 'This is the Miramar Police Station. Is this Katherine's residence?'
Anton looked up at Alexander for approval, and only when Alexander nodded slightly did he respond, 'Is there something we can help with?'
The voice on the phone said, 'If you are a family member of Katherine, please come to the Miramar Police Station immediately. We need your cooperation to verify some information.'
Then, the call was disconnected.
Sandra couldn't bear this immense shock and sat weakly on the sofa.
Fiona, even more excitedly, said, 'Grandma, the police station called! It seems that the woman who was arrested is indeed Katherine! How could she do such a thing? You always loved her so much!'
Sandra felt a deep pain and found it hard to accept.
Alexander stood up, put on his suit jacket from the sofa, and said to Fiona with a serious expression, 'You stay at home and accompany Grandma; don't go anywhere!'
But Fiona ran over to stop him and said, 'Brother, don't bother with that despicable woman! She has already done such a shameless thing. If you continue to care about her, it will only tarnish the reputation of the Melville family!'
Alexander frowned and reprimanded, 'Move aside, stop making a scene!'
Fiona persisted, 'Brother, don't go and deal with Katherine! She doesn't deserve it at all!'
The siblings were at a standstill.
'Huh? Uncle, you're back so early today? Grandma, I'm hungry. Is the food ready yet?'
Katherine's leisurely voice suddenly echoed in the house!
Everyone was stunned and looked towards the source of the voice, only to see Katherine slowly coming downstairs, looking as if she had just woken up.
Upon seeing her, Alexander paused slightly, then gradually relaxed.
Sandra sat up straight, pleasantly surprised, and said, 'Katherine, you're home!'
Katherine nodded, 'Yes, Grandma.'
But Fiona was shocked and asked, 'How come you're at home? Weren't you...'
Katherine yawned and covered her face, 'Is it strange for me to be at home? Otherwise, where do you think I should be right now?'
Fiona was a bit confused. Gavin had just messaged her that everything was taken care of! But Katherine was now at home!
After a moment of thought, she said, 'Katherine, how could you escape from the police station? Not only are you shameless, but you also want to involve the Melville family?'
Katherine furrowed her brow and asked in confusion, 'Police station? Why would I be at the police station?'
Fiona sneered, 'Stop pretending. Your dirty deeds outside have made it to the news, and we all know about it! The police just called our home, so just admit it!'
Katherine was very surprised, but she remained calm. She walked straight to the landline and said, 'I don't know what you're talking about, but I can call back and find out what's going on!'
With that, she picked up the landline phone and pressed the redial button.
'Hello? Is this the police station? Hello, I'm Katherine. Can I ask what the call was about?'"
