Chapter 201

201 Too Late to Regret
Ewan was so shaken by the situation that his phone nearly sl*pped out of his hand. What had occurred
to prompt the arrival of the police and officers from the Industry and Commerce Bureau?
Ewan pretended to be calm and stepped forward. “How can I help you…”
However, the police officers ignored Ewan. They went straight to Wanda and presented their
identification. “Are you Wanda Scott?”
“Yes.”
“We need your cooperation for an investigation. Please come with us.”
Wanda assumed that he was referring to Wynter’s incident. Adam had mentioned that someone would
visit her regarding the matter..
So, she wasn’t worried and even felt at ease. “Is Captain Weissman the one who sent you all? Come
on, sit down and have some drinks first. You’ve all worked so hard this time. If it weren’t for you all-”
“We’ll discuss the case further back at the police station,” the police officer said sternly. “You have the
right to remain silent now.”
Only then did Wanda realize something was amiss. “Are you all from the Ravenwood Police precinct?”
The police officers neither confirmed nor denied that fact. They proceeded to escort her away. Wanda
started to panic. She turned back and looked at Ewan.
Ewan had been intercepted by the officers from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. “We need to
inspect
some accounts.”
Initially, Wanda didn’t think much of it. She assumed everything would be fine, especially with Adam’s
presence. However, as she got into the police car, she realized something was really wrong.
This didn’t seem like what was agreed upon earlier. They hadn’t mentioned anything about bailing
someone out. Instead, she was treated more like a suspect!
Wanda’s heart sank. She shouted, “I want to see Captain Weissman! I want to call my lawyer!”
However, the car door had already been closed.
In the center of the business district, and full view of the public, Wanda exited the Yates Group’s office
and was escorted into the police car.
The Yates family’s company wasn’t the only company in the vast office building. Numerous other
companies that were partners with the Yates group shared the same building.
The news of Mrs. Yates‘ arrest spread in less than three minutes! In the vast office building housing
dozens of companies, the incident was the talk of the town.
The speed of dissemination due to the internet was rapid, especially when it came to gossip.
Before Ewan could resolve matters with the Industry and Commerce Bureau, calls from their business

partners started pouring in. They all questioned if there were any potential risks involved.
Even the small investors that they had previously engaged with reached out.
“Mr. Yates, there’s no need to hide from us anymore. The entire business district of Southdale knows.
about your wife’s arrest.”
“What’s really going on!”
Ewan pondered and recalled what Wanda had said earlier. He then explained, “There’s nothing wrong
my wife, so there’s no need to be concerned about this.
with
“It’s all because of our previous adopted daughter, who insisted on doing medical livestreams. She’s
the one who had been arrested. My wife and I are simply cooperating with the investigation.”
“Yes, there’s absolutely no risk involved. Don’t worry, Mr. Larsen. I can assure you of that.”
“We have completely severed ties with that girl. Yes, she won’t affect us.”
*Of course. Our company will announce once there’s any outcome. Please be rest assured.”
This explanation temporarily appeased some of the small companies. However, the scrutiny from the
Industry and Commerce Bureau seemed endless.
There were internal issues within the Yates Group. Ewan was worried that the officers might uncover
something.
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about Wanda’s situation. He simply arranged for a lawyer to
accompany her.
Despite their concerns, the couple still had some confidence in the situation. Even in the worst–case
scenario, if the Wynter chose to expose the Yates group, with Adam’s presence, they believed
everything
could be settled easily.
It was the scrutiny of the Industry and Commerce Bureau that posed the greatest challenge.
Ewan had meticulously planned everything–or so he thought. He hadn’t anticipated Wanda’s immediate
panic as soon as she arrived at the police station. None of the people she knew were present.
That wasn’t even the main issue. The main concern was that the auxiliary police officer she knew was
being interrogated in the interrogation room!
