Chapter 754 Miles's Evidence
Ariel glared down at Miles, not wanting to waste another word on him. She turned to the bodyguards holding him and said, "Take him to the police station."
The bodyguards nodded and tried to haul Miles up from the ground.
But Miles wasn't having it. He fought back, trying to escape in the chaos.
Riley's brow twitched. With a cold expression, he ordered, "If he won't cooperate, make sure he can't move his hands and feet!"
Two cracking sounds followed, and Miles's hands and feet were dislocated, leaving him limp on the ground.
With Miles unable to resist, the bodyguards hoisted him onto their shoulders.
Everything settled down.
Miles was taken away.
Martin led the bodyguards downstairs one by one.
The people who had been driven out of the elevator also took the elevator and left.
Watching Miles being carried away, Ariel, who had been holding back her tears, finally let one fall. It was like she was mourning her ridiculous marriage.
This was the last time Ariel cried for Miles.
From now on, she would settle the score with him, one by one.
What the Koch family was owed, she would reclaim it all.
Riley looked at Ariel with a pained expression, his eyes red. "Ariel, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you and let down our father."
If Justin knew what had happened to Ariel, he would be heartbroken.
As her brother, Riley felt he had failed by not finding Miles' true nature, leading Ariel into this mess. And now she was even carrying Miles's child.
He felt he had failed as a brother.
Ariel wiped away her tears and forced a smile, but it tugged at the wounds on her face, making her frown in pain.
Riley's breath caught, "Does it hurt a lot? Let's go home. I'll get you some ice."
Ariel nodded.
Riley took her hand and led her into the elevator.
Ariel knew Riley felt guilty, thinking he hadn't taken good care of his sister.
But the way things turned out wasn't his fault.
It was all because Ariel hadn't seen Miles's true nature, leading to this trouble.
Ariel said, "Riley, you don't need to blame yourself! Miles hid his true self too well. I didn't see through him, and that's why things turned out this way. You were just respecting and trusting me!"
Every marriage in the Koch family was free love.
While other families might need to establish marital ties to consolidate their statuses and wealth, the Koch family did not.
The only requirement was good character.
So, when Ariel told Shane and her brothers that she wanted to get married, they didn't object.
They thought Ariel, in her twenties, was an adult capable of making her own judgments.
And Ariel had always believed Miles had good character.
Their whole family had been deceived by Miles.
Riley gently ruffled Ariel's hair and said tenderly, "Don't worry, once your baby is born, I will take good care of him and make sure he doesn't turn out like Miles."
Ariel placed her hand on her swollen belly.
The baby was already moving.
Before all this happened, she had eagerly expected the baby's birth, marveling at the miracle of life.
But after seeing Miles's true nature, she began to hesitate about whether to have this child.
Would seeing the child remind her of everything Miles had done?
Riley immediately saw through Ariel's thoughts and quickly said, "Ariel, don't overthink it! You've been longing for a child for years. Now that you're finally pregnant, you can't let external factors make you give it up. The child is innocent."
Ariel lowered her eyes and said wistfully, "But I'm afraid that when the child grows up and learns that we sent Miles to prison, he will hate us."
Riley laughed, "How could he? With us uncles teaching him, he'll definitely understand! You gotta trust us."
Ariel stayed quiet.
She had too many worries.
Riley put his arm around her shoulder, "Even Shane wouldn't agree to you giving it up! Besides, he's already moving around in there. Can you really bear to give it up? Can you?"
Thinking of a living child being taken from her, her heart ached.
No, She couldn't. This was her child!
Not just Miles's bloodline, but hers too.
She couldn't bear to give it up.
After a struggle in her heart, Ariel finally nodded. "You're right, Riley. The child is innocent. I can raise it well!"
Seeing her finally relented, Riley let out a sigh of relief.
Ariel suddenly remembered something and asked, puzzled, "Riley, how did you get here?"
When she came home, it was early morning, and no one knew!
Riley lightly flicked her forehead, "Luckily, Patricia noticed you were missing and told me in time! I tracked you through street surveillance. If I had been a step later, you would've been in trouble."
Ariel lowered her head, feeling guilty, "Riley, I'm sorry I made you worry!"
Riley sighed, "Of course, I worry about you. You're my sister! From now on, don't act on your own. If anything happens, come to me! I'm your brother. It's my duty to take care of you!"
Ariel felt a warmth in her heart and nodded with red eyes.
Although she had lost her husband, she still had her family—Shane, Riley, and Patricia.
She was still happy.
Miles was taken directly to the police station, but he denied everything during the interrogation.
The police officer was so angry he pounded his fists on the table.
The police officer said, "With all the evidence, you still dare to deny it?"
Miles slumped back in his chair with a shameless expression.
Miles said, "She was holding my son hostage and forced me to say those things! She almost killed my son. Shouldn't you be seeking justice for me? Look at what the Koch family has done to me! Get me a doctor immediately, or I will sue you..."
The police had seen countless shameless people, but this was the first time to see such a shameless one.
The police said, "Ariel is your legal wife. You betrayed her and even had a child outside. Do you know that's illegal? It's bigamy."
Miles raised eyebrows indifferently, "Bigamy at most results in a $20,000 fine and a one-year prison sentence with a one-year probation."
But the other charges weren't so easily dismissed.
Burning the Koch family's property, plagiarizing the Koch Group's jewelry, defaming the Koch Group to disrupt the stock market—any one of these crimes was enough to bring severe punishment.
They didn't have concrete evidence, and as long as he didn't admit it, no one could do anything.
The police officer was almost infuriated by Miles.
After a fruitless interrogation, they finally had to give up and apologized to Riley, "Mr. Koch, I'm sorry, that man is just too shameless! I can't do anything with him! Although you have a recording proving his guilt, recordings are not legally admissible! Even in court, they can't be used as evidence."
Pausing here, he asked, "Do you have any other evidence?"
Seeing Miles so arrogant made him angry too, and he wished he could convict him immediately.
Riley's face was dark and extremely grim, "Lock him up first, and don't allow anyone to visit him!"
The police said, "Alright!"
After arranging for Miles, Riley and Martin returned to the company.
At this time, Sebastian had already completed his task and returned.
