Chapter 187 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Jesse, on the other hand, behaved differently. He had a military background and was under forty years old. His family had originally planned for him to come to Eldoria for some experience.
He wasn't panicked; in fact, he saw this as an opportunity to understand the inner workings of Eldoria. So, from start to finish, he didn't say a word.
He could remain so calm because his identity gave him confidence.
What surprised him was that Adeline, standing next to him, also didn't care about any of this, as if nothing could affect her.
"Fine, I'll go with you."
Adeline was even smiling at this moment. Her face was extremely beautiful, with a hint of mischief.
"Take her with us."
She slightly raised her chin, looking at the person trying to slip away.
The newcomers looked at each other, thinking, 'There isn't a middle-aged woman among the people we were suppose to catch.'
Adeline bit into a fruit candy. "What? Do you enforce the law selectively? I have a hundred thousand people watching my live stream, and they're all watching."
This was a lie; the live stream had been turned off earlier, and the viewers had no idea what was happening afterward.
But still, it was quite intimidating.
It told them that someone was watching, and they couldn't make things too obvious. They still had to keep up appearances.
So, the leader waved his hand. "Take them all!"
The elder woman were dumbfounded. This wasn't part of the plan! No one said she had to go to the police station too!
"Officer, take a closer look. We..." We were on the same side!
Who cared about her now? Everyone was trying to appear just!
They were all loaded into the car!
Summer was the most anxious. She held onto Adeline's hand and wouldn't let go.
Adeline gently reassured her, "Grandma, it's okay. Robert will be back to accompany you soon. Take a nap, eat something, and don't worry about the live stream. I'm just cooperating with the investigation and will be back soon. In the meantime, if anyone comes to you, threatening you with me, asking you to do something, don't agree to it."
Adeline smoothed Summer's white hair. "Grandma, I'm very capable. Don't worry."
Summer knew she was a determined person.
But at this moment, her heart couldn't settle. After all, it was the police station!
The leader spoke reassuringly, "Don't worry; we won't wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. If your granddaughter is truly innocent, she will be released."
With a hundred thousand people watching, they had to consider the impact.
If it weren't for the chief sending him, he really wouldn't want to do this kind of thing.
At the corner of the alley, Angela didn't know the details of what happened inside. She only saw Adeline and her group being loaded into the car and was very happy!
"Serves you right for going against me!"
Angela had her own plans. She wasn't in a hurry to show herself. Being the mastermind behind the scenes was the most satisfying.
Although there were some deviations from her plan, with more people being taken away than expected.
But it didn't affect the overall situation.
They were probably just Adeline's poor relatives.
She had seen them earlier, riding shared electric scooters. How embarrassing!
As for Luke, Angela hadn't contacted him. As soon as the car left, she dialed a number. "I'm bothering you again. Yes, they've been taken away. Regarding the upcoming interrogations, I'll need you to be thorough."
