Chapter 1572

The Chief had given a quick rundown of the situation in Summerfield, and it was clear that getting Sophie out was going to be a tough nut to crack.

"Don't worry," Sophie said with a calm defiance, "we still don't know for sure who the real culprit is, right, Chief?"

"That's correct. Our team is still investigating, but for now, Ms. Sophie, you'll have to bear some inconvenience as a suspect," the Chief replied, signaling his officers to take action.

The police moved in swiftly, taking Sophie into custody. Meanwhile, two young men, still on their knees, were being held by the Aldridge family's bodyguards.

The Chief glanced at the young men, "These two were taken as hostages. They need to come with us for questioning. Please release them."

Reluctantly, remembering Sophie's earlier instructions, the men let the young hostages go. Spencer's face broke into a smile, confident in his boss's loyalty, while Robert was visibly shaken by the whole ordeal.

Back in Devonport, Harold was the first to catch wind of the situation from the overseas bodyguards. Hearing that Sophie had been taken by Summerfield's police, his nerves frayed. "What did I tell you all before I left? Ms. Sophie's safety is the top priority! How did you let the Summerfield police get their hands on her?"
