Ashley and Mason had gone to see Athena not just to cheer her up, but to intimidate her into
silence.They meant to make Athena know that the Howard family was behind them.
In order to force Athena to join them, they used both coercion and seduction.
Nobody knew that Athena had already been discovered by Marcus.
Marcus was straightforward.He directly told her that they were clear about what she and Ashley had
done.
It would be smart of her to choose the right side or she could end up in prison.
Athena never thought that Ashley was not only against Valeria, but also the Wolf Group.
She was clever enough to know not to be enemy against Wolf Group.
So she divulged everything right away.So the meeting with Athena was actually a trap.
Athena brought a recording pen according to Marcus's instructions.
The whole conversation was recorded, and also Mason and Ashley's ugliness.
Athena handed the recording pen to Marcus, and Marcus immediately called the police in the name of
Valeria.
Ashley and Mason thought that they had done a great job.
They just returned to their houses.
And the police arrived and arrested them.
Ashley and Mason were handcuffed and taken away.
Julie saw Ashley taken by police, so she immediately called Ronald.
Ronald was bringing two badly injured bodyguards with bloody faces to the hospital.
Their eyes were bloodshot and they couldn't see anything.
Ronald was thinking about calling the police to punish William.
When he received a call from Julie and heard that Ashley was taken away by the police, Ronald
became extremely impatient.
"What happened again? Why the f*ck do all of you enjoy making trouble for me? I'm occupied now!"
"Ronald, you can't leave her alone.She is pregnant! If something happens to her, it will be terrible”
As Julie reminded Ronald, he recalled the cooperation with the Howard family was because of Ashley,
so he eased his anger.
"Why did they take her away? Any reason ?"
"They said that Ashley was suspected of forging evidence and slandering.By the way, Mason was also
took away.I'm so panicked and have no idea about what to do.You should go there quickly!"
Now, Julie didn't dare to hide anything longer.
She clearly knew that her daughter and Mason had framed Valeria.She thought that with the Howard
family backing them up , she could definitely make Valeria ended up in jail.
But she didn't expect that her daughter to be arrested, instead of Valeria.
And Mason was also handcuffed.
It was too bad.
Ronald realized something was wrong when he heard that Mason had also been taken away.
Something terrible must have happened.
All his troubles were gathered around tonight.
Ronald rushed to the police station to check out the situation, with no time to think about anything else.
The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, and Elizabeth's car came over.
They met each other at the gate.
Not knowing what happened, Ronald was not awkward.
He asked Elizabeth, "Madam Howard, do you know about it?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Elizabeth's face.
"Not really.Get in and take a look"
Then she took the lawyer walking into the station, Ronald followed.
Mason and Ashley were asked in two interrogation rooms.
In the beginning, Mason was very arrogant.
He refused to say anything and kept shouting that he was waiting for the lawyer.
Until the police played the recording, he started to panic.
He finally realized the conversation tonight with Athena was actually monitored.
He could imagine how serious the consequences would be.
Ashley, the d*mn woman, had got him a big trouble.
He was in a panic, but didn't say anything and waited for Elizabeth to save him.
Elizabeth took a lawyer to bail Mason, but she was refused by police righteously.
"We received a report from Miss Valeria, who is the victim.Mason Eich is suspected of slandering and
tarnishing Miss Valeria's reputation with extremely serious means and has caused huge injury to her.At
present, Mason will be investigated and can not be bailed out."
Elizabeth said with a sullen face, "This is not a major criminal case.Why won't you allowed him bailed?
I'll go find your boss."
"Lady, what do you think you're doing? We're doing things according to the law, calling in the suspects
as the law says.Mason's criminal plots are terrible.In case of collusion, he's not allowed to be bailed"
"I'm warned you.If you can't provide any evidence, don't blame me..." Elizabeth threatened.
"Calm down.We've already got enough evidence! Madam, it seems like we need to popularize law to
you" The policeman who was handling the case sneered.
"The law of our country says, to insult others or make up facts to slander others, in serious cases, one
will be sentenced to imprisonment or detention under three years.What Mason did could be
criticized.He will be sentenced to death with at least three years for sure!"
The police's harsh attitude made Elizabeth knew that Valeria couldn't have such an ability.
There must be someone powerful helping her.
It must be Michael's idea.
She couldn't do anything here, so she had to leave with the lawyer.
Then Ronald came in a hurry.
"Madam Howard, the police didn't allow us to bail them.They said that they're suspected of having
slandered others, that Valeria reported to the police and got Mason and Ashley arrested .What's going
on?"
"You should ask Valeria about that.I don't know the answer."
Elizabeth was angry with Ronald and left angrily.
Ronald stood there with a stunned face for a while, and then turned to the police, "What's wrong with
her?"
The police was not soft, "Ask yourself"
After being harassed twice in a row, Ronald was embarrassed enough and left then.
Anyway, he could not do anything here.
Mason and Ashley were still dreaming about being bailed, letting time fly in front of interrogation police,
without a word.
Seeing that they would not speak, the police closed the door and left.
No one asked questions and no stuff to play with.
The feeling of sitting in the room was uncomfortable.
Two hours later, Mason couldn't stand with the silence finally.
He got up and went to the door to knock on it.
"Somebody! Come here!"
The police quickly opened the door.
"Now you have thought about it clearly and decide to confess the truth?"
"I got nothing to say, and I never break the law.It's illegal to lock me this way, I need to see my lawyer!"
"Your lawyer just came and left!"
The police stared at Mason coldly.
"You can be sent to the detention room when you confess it.There you can sleep, or just waste your
time here!"
Mason would not confess it for sure.
The police were angry, cuffed him on the chair in the interrogation room, locked the door and left.
Mason was confined in the chair and could not move.
He was angry and shouted.
But no one paid attention to him.
Mason's voice was hoarse.
He sat in the chair and gasped , then fell asleep leaning against the chair.
Like him, Ashley also required to use her rights in the beginning and to meet the lawyer.
And later she got scolded by the interrogation police and handcuffed in the chair like Mason.
They were locked in the interrogation rooms which were separated by a door.
Ashley was flustered when she heard Mason shouting.
It was impossible for Elizabeth to leave Mason here.
She would definitely bail him if she knew that Mason had been caught.
But till now Mason had been yelling next door, which proved that the Howard family had no choice this
time.
"What to do now?"
In the deep night, Ashley wanted to pee badly and tried to call the interrogation officer.
The police, however, had been bribed by Marcus, so they left Ashley alone all the time.She kept
shouting till she peed in her pants.
