Chapter 871
Last time, Michael had already tarnished the reputation of the Smith family once, but that was his private life. However, if it involved his personal use of punishment, it would likely cause public resistance to the Smith family's future campaigns.
nbsp;
"If you want to arrest me, find some evidence first," Cassie said coldly, turning to leave.
nbsp;
"Wait, you want to leave? Have you asked me?" Joseph stepped forward nbsp;and said, expressionless, "Did I say you could leave?"
nbsp;
Michael's eyes lit up. nbsp;"Joseph, arrest Cassie and bring her to Dragon for interrogation."
nbsp;
"You want to arrest me?" nbsp;Cassie asked.
nbsp;
Cassie and Joseph locked eyes, a coldness in Cassie's eyes that Joseph rarely saw. nbsp;His nbsp;heart ached, suddenly unsure of what to say.
nbsp;
Joseph knew that if he did that, the rift between them would surely deepen. However, given the current situation, Cassie's heinous actions couldn't go unpunished.
nbsp;
"Joseph, what are you hesitating about?" Michael shouted, "Have you forgotten how Megan almost died, forgotten how desperate Megan looked when she tried to commit suicide?"
nbsp;
Cassie was shocked nbsp;and thought, 'Megan actually attempted suicide? Megan has nbsp;really resorted to extreme measures this time.'
nbsp;
"You, come back to Dragon with me." Joseph's eyes narrowed, reaching out towards Cassie.
nbsp;
But before he could get close, Cassie had already pulled out a gun and pointed nbsp;it at Joseph.
nbsp;
Joseph froze, his eyes showing disbelief, unsure if he was more shocked that Cassie had a gun or that she was pointing it at him.
nbsp;
"I won't go back with you. If you dare to arrest me forcibly, then I'll have to shoot," she said.
nbsp;
Cassie's eyes were unusually calm as if she would indeed shoot if Joseph made a move.
nbsp;
A searing pain spread through Joseph's heart as he rasped, "You would actually shoot me?"
nbsp;
"Then I shouldn't just let you take me away without resistance," Cassie sneered, "I haven't done anything, nor do I want to go back to Dragon to be tortured. Joseph, I'm also protecting myself. For you, pointing a gun at you is hurting you. So, when you try to arrest me, you are also hurting me. Since you can hurt me without hesitation, then I can too."
nbsp;
Cassie's gun lifted slightly, aimed at Joseph's leg. nbsp;"You can move, but try it."
nbsp;
"If you dare to shoot, you'll go to jail," Joseph warned coldly.
nbsp;
"If you dare to move, you'll end up a cripple," Cassie reminded unyieldingly.
nbsp;
Joseph clenched his fists tightly, his gaze filled with anger, regret, sadness, and disappointment.
nbsp;
But Cassie seemed not to notice. She backed away step by step until she was in the elevator. Only when the elevator started ascending did she finally relax.
nbsp;
No one knew that Cassie had gone through so much that she kept a gun in her car since the day she returned, just in case. After all, who knew if Megan and Joseph might try to kill her at any moment.
nbsp;
But in fact, just now, Cassie didn't want to shoot.
nbsp;
Because if she did, Cassie would go to jail.
nbsp;
But Cassie couldn't let Joseph take her back to Dragon. She nbsp;was already scared. Three years ago, she was almost driven insane by Joseph when he locked her in a psychiatric ward. Three years later, no one knew what the consequences would be if Joseph caught her.
nbsp;
And if Cassie was caught, who would save Anthony?
nbsp;
Fortunately, Cassie won the gamble, and Joseph didn't catch up.
