"Inviting the police isn’t necessary, this is just a family gathering and I believe it can be resolved amicably", he said indifferently.

He glanced briefly at Risa and couldn’t help but frown but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak Jessica’s cold voice made him pause.

"Dad, you might not have felt it necessary to invite the police but then a food poisoning incident happening when we the Allen’s pays a visit isn’t that a stain on our name? So, I have invited the police for proper investigation so as to clear our name", she said indifferently.
