Dillon had just finished his sentence when a huge group of police officers swarmed in from behind
Alexander.
Seizing upon Dillon's shock, Sophia swiftly backpedaled a few steps.
The police had already detained Dillon by the time he regained his senses.
“Dillon Xenos, you're suspected of kidnapping. Please cooperate by coming with us to the police
station for further investigations.”
The words stunned Dillon as he gave Alexander an indignant look. “You set me up, Alexander!”
Alexander walked up to Sophia's side and untied her. “Are you hurt?”
Sophia shook her head before giving the detained Dillon a look. “You're indeed brazen, Old Mr. Xenos.
It's just unfortunate for you that kidnapping is a crime.”
Only then did Alexander turn to look at Dillon. “Uncle Dillon, why did you do this?”
Dillon's face turned red in anger when he saw Sophia and Alexander feigning innocence in front of the
police.
These two were clearly expecting me to make my move tonight and used it against me!
Unfortunately, that realization came too late, for he had sent out the threatening message to Alexander
and was now caught red-handed. Even though Sophia was unharmed, kidnapping was still a crime
punishable by at least three to five years in jail, a fate that Dillon couldn't escape from.
His mistake was that he had been too reckless and contacted Alexander too soon. If only he had
transferred Sophia to a place further away and observed the situation for a few days, his plan would
have worked perfectly.
Considering how the situation turned out, Dillon knew that anything he said would be futile.
In spite of that, the indignance within him remained strong. Right before he was escorted into the police
car, Dillon shot Alexander a deathly stare.
The expressionless Alexander curled his lips suddenly as he watched Dillon get into the car.
The latter was aware that Alexander was mocking him.
Trembling in anger, Dillon pointed his finger at Alexander as he bellowed, “Alexander, don't get too full
of yourself! Sooner or later, you will be defeated by somebody! It's a matter of time before Odyssey
collapses! Both of you are—”
Before Dillon could finish, he was cut off when the patrol car's door was shut in his face. No one
outside could hear him anymore.
The policeman apprehending him had also lost his patience. “Shut your trap! You're in a police car!”
Dillon was cowed into silence upon being yelled at.
After watching the police car drive slowly away, Sophia and Alexander needed to give their statement
at the police station too.
“Ms. Yarrow!”
Yvonne ran up to Sophia. After scrutinizing the latter for injuries, she heaved a sigh of relief to find
Sophia unharmed. “Are you all right?”
Despite knowing about the kidnapping ahead of time and that Alexander had men following Dillon's car,
Yvonne couldn't help worrying during the two hours Sophia was gone.
Sophia flashed a reassuring smile at her. “Don't worry. I'm a lot tougher than you think.”
Yvonne nodded as the concern on her face began to ease and was replaced by her usual stern look.
“Ms. Yarrow, you should go on ahead to the police station with Mr. Xenos first. I'll contact the lawyer
and join you there later.”
“Okay, Ms. Leighton. I appreciate it.”
Now that Sophia emerged unharmed, Yvonne felt that everything she had done was well worth it. “It's
no big deal. I was just doing my job.”
With that, Sophia threw Alexander a glance. “Shall we?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Upon humming in acknowledgment, Alexander entered another patrol car with Sophia in tow.
Although Dillon had been caught red-handed for kidnapping Sophia and no amount of denying would
save him, he was adamant about not admitting his wrongdoing.
At the police station, he refused to confess and insisted on seeing his lawyer. Furthermore, he claimed
that it was a practical joke, as there was no way he would actually kidnap his nephew's girlfriend.
His words triggered a sneer from the investigating officer. “Dillon, regardless of whether you confess or
not, Alexander has shared with us the threatening message you sent him. That alone is solid evidence
of your crimes. On top of that, we found Sophia locked in your warehouse when we arrived!
“Also, the men you hired have spilled the beans. Half a month ago, you ordered them to keep an eye
on Sophia. Knowing that she would have a business meeting tonight, you arranged for them to ambush
her on her way home. Now that all of them have confessed, I would advise you to do the same!”
Just as he spoke, the officer threw a pile of evidence in front of Dillon.
Having worked for Beau for decades, Dillon was only good at one thing—putting up a strong front in the
face of adversity.
Regardless of the officers' words and attempts at playing good cop, bad cop, Dillon stubbornly refused
to say a word.
When both parties finally lost their patience, Dillon suggested through his gritted teeth, “Let me see
Alexander. After that, I'll tell you everything you want to know.”
After the two investigating officers exchanged glances, one of them stepped out.
“Is Alexander still around?”
Alexander and Sophia were just preparing to leave after giving their statements. When they heard
Alexander's name being called out, Sophia turned to him. “Yes, we're still here.”
The officer approached them upon hearing the reply. “Mr. Xenos, Dillon wants to see you before he's
willing to confess. Is it all right for you to meet with him?”
In truth, it didn't matter whether Dillon confessed or not since he was caught red-handed. His refusal to
confess would only serve to anger the judge further, resulting in a heavier sentence.
Nevertheless, Alexander didn't decline, as he wanted to hear what Dillon still had to say for himself.
“All right then.”
“I'll wait for you outside.”
Upon releasing his hand, Sophia walked out with her phone.
Only after he saw Sophia's silhouette disappear through the door that Alexander turned to the officer.
“Please take me there.”
The officer nodded in response. “Right this way.”
Thereafter, Dillon's expression drastically changed at the sight of Alexander. “I want to speak to him
alone.”
“No, we have already made an exception by allowing Mr. Xenos to see you, Dillon, so don't push your
luck!”
After the two officers rejected Dillon's request coldly, both of them got up and stood by the side.
The small interrogation room allowed them to hear everything still.
Well aware that his fate was sealed, Dillon spoke candidly. “I've made meticulous preparations for over
two months. How did you find out?”
Alexander gave him a frosty look. “You shouldn't have done it if you didn't want anyone to find out.”
Dillon snorted in response. “What's the point of gloating at a time like this? If you're still a man, tell me
how did you learn of it!”
Alexander maintained an emotionless look. “That's a really strange assumption. You speak as if I was
aware of your plan to kidnap Sophia.”
Dillon wanted to trick Alexander into telling him the truth, but the latter wasn't falling for it.
Enraged by his failure, Dillon attempted to grab the files on the table and smash them on Alexander.
Right before he did, the police officers, who had been keeping an eye on him, bellowed, “Dillon Xenos,
this is a police interrogation room!”
Dillon finally calmed down after being yelled at. “I admit that my incompetence has led to my defeat at
your hands. However, Alexander, you had better not rest on your laurels. There are plenty of people
who want you dead!”
All of a sudden, he leaned in toward Alexander and hissed through his gritted teeth, “You had better
watch out. Who knows when you're going to be killed in a car accident.”
Alexander looked down at him with a smirk on his face. “Even if that day comes, you won't be around
to witness it.”
Thereafter, he lowered his voice and whispered, “Didn't you notice my men who have been tailing you
the entire way, Dillon?”
After saying that, Alexander pushed Dillon away. “We've nothing more to talk about.”
With that, he turned around and left the interrogation room.
Meanwhile, Dillon froze when he finally heard Alexander admit to setting him up. “You did know from
the very beginning! Did both of you hear him? He set me up! I didn't kidnap Sophia!”
The two officers shoved him back into his chair. “Hear what? All we heard was you ranting incessantly.
This is your last warning. If you dare disobey us and ignore the rules again, we will have to take
harsher measures against you!”
Dillon had no choice but to settle back down upon hearing the officer's warning. “I admit that I had
planned to abduct Sophia, but Alexander knew of my plans and deliberately let me do so tonight!”
The two officers exchanged glances. “If you continue to spew nonsense, we're going to note down that
you're unwilling to cooperate.”
Is Dillon crazy? Did he just accuse Alexander of deliberately waiting for him to kidnap his girlfriend?
