Chapter 281: I have a way to make you feel relieved
"Annabel!"
Richard also tearfully persuaded, "Alexander is right, we don't need to ruin ourselves for a villain. I know you're angry, and I'm angry too, but once you take matters into your own hands, you're also committing a crime! Didn't we agree to spend the rest of our lives together?"
Annabel really wanted to strangle Fiona right away, but she also knew that everyone was right. Once she personally killed Fiona, she herself would not be able to escape the legal consequences, especially with all the media present doing live broadcasting.
The hatred was difficult to extinguish, and her heart was unwilling. The grip around Fiona's neck loosened slightly, but still didn't let go.
Her other hand pointed angrily at the old police commissioner, "Handing over criminals to someone like him, how can we expect proper justice? He has let this criminal go unpunished for 20 years, can't you see?"
Annabel didn't believe the police officers.
Yes, she couldn't believe them.
A whole 20 years! Fiona had been let off the hook for 20 years under the protection of the old police commissioner. What could make Annabel trust the justice and ethics of the police officers again?
The police captain didn't hesitate and took out handcuffs to arrest the old police commissioner.
The old police commissioner angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are, a mere police captain, to handcuff me? Who gave you this authority? I have always been fair and upright in handling cases. My office is adorned with countless commendations. There are countless honor certificates and trophies in my home. My uniform is decorated with numerous first-class medals of merit, all given to me by my superiors. By handcuffing me now, it's like doubting the capabilities of my superiors. Are you challenging them? Are you not afraid of being ridiculed for the rest of your life?"
The police captain showed no fear, "We have witnesses and evidence, do you still have the nerve to deny it? We have had our suspicions regarding this 20-year-old case for a long time now, but it has always been suppressed by you. We had no way of clarifying the truth. Today, regardless of whether you are guilty or not, we will first arrest you. If the facts prove that you are truly innocent, I am willing to bear all the consequences!"
The old police commissioner was infuriated, and he glared at Annabel with an angry gaze, "I believe this old lady is not Annabel. She is an imposter, her appearance is meant to frame us!"
Hailey quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, this old lady is fake, a young person pretending to be old. How can an elderly lady in her seventies be so energetic? And be a bodyguard for someone?"
She glanced around and suddenly pointed her finger at Alexander, "I understand now, it's all a conspiracy created by Alexander. He wanted to be with Ivy and monopolize the Ashford family's wealth, so he set this scheme in motion. Alexander used this ploy to drive me, my mom, and my son Leo out of the Ashford family! This is his conspiracy! Everyone, I implore you, don't believe him, those recordings are all fake!"
"Yes, they're fake! It's all a conspiracy! Uncuff my hands immediately, or else, I will not let any of you get away with this!" The old police commissioner said with a furious expression.
Although being choked, she struggled to shout, "She is fake... I am the real Annabel..."
"How dare you say I'm fake!" Annabel exclaimed angrily, unconsciously tightening her grip.
"Grandmother!" Ivy quickly intervened and said to her, "I have evidence to prove Fiona's guilt and a way to bring you justice, please trust me!"
Annabel released her grip, "Alright, I trust you!"
