Sue became even more scared and almost fell onto the ground.She got into the car and immediately
told the chauffeur to quickly drive off.
When they reached the gates, she saw the butler instructing his subordinates, "Quick, close the gates.
If anyone comes and asks about Mr.Joel's in-laws, just tell them that you don't know anything!"
"Yes, sir!" The butler sighed.
"He even has the guts to steal a police car.Surely Mr.Moore didn't really break out of prison again,
right?"
Sue became even more scared and she didn't dare to say any more.She immediately urged the
chauffeur to hurry up and drive back home.
But when she got home, the more Sue thought about it, the more scared she became.She said to
Samuel, "People like Karl Moore are all devils who kill without even batting an eyelid.Do you think he
will come to take revenge against me?"
Samuel was, surprisingly, relatively calm.
He replied, "I know that family well.Although they seem cold and ruthless, they are reliable..As long as
you don't provoke them, they won't do anything to you."
Samuel just found lan an eyesore, that's why he was always going against him.
However, he had never harbored any thoughts of harming the Smiths.
Sue, however, said, "But I have already made an agreement with the other party.They will give the
Smiths a chance to bid for the project and I will give them money! This way, I would also become the
matriarch of the Smiths.With that, won't all the Smiths’ little opportunities to make money be ours in the
future?"
Samuel curled his lips disdainfully.
"Dream on.The matriarch of the Smiths? You sure dare to dream big.With how stingy lan is, he has all
the power in the family tightly in his grasp, okay? His word is absolute in for the Smiths’ Joel was
personally taught and groomed by him.Do you think he will ever make you the matriarch of the Smiths?
Don't even think about it!"
Seeing that even Samuel wasn't cooperating with her, Sue got anxious.
"Why are you being such a loser? Haven't you ever thought of improving our family's conditions?"
She walked back and forth in the room.Then, she went out.
"No, this won't do.I'm calling the cops"
Samuel was taken aback.
"What are you going crazy for?"
Sue replied, "I am a good, law-abiding citizen.Now that someone like him has broken out of jail again, I
have to inform the police about it! Even if it is not for money, I am afraid that he will come over in the
middle of the night and murder me! There are murder cases everywhere these days.It's not like you
haven't seen the news!"
Before Samuel could recover, Sue had already left.
The forty to fifty-year-old woman was a bit chubby but didn't look swollen.She merely looked a little
well-fed.
Her butt twisted from side to side as she got into the car and went straight to the nearest police station.
The moment she entered, she immediately said, "Officer, I'd like to make a police report! A murderer
has broken out of jail and is now hiding at the Smith Manor!"
At the Smiths.
Karl didn't have the time to bother with Sue after she fled.
Instead, he asked, "What project is it? I can talk to them!"
He was now a hero in the special department.
Morris definitely wouldn't reject him if he asked to give the relevant departments a heads-up.
Joel smiled and replied, "No, it's fine.You've only just returned, you should take a good bath and rest
instead!"
The fact that Karl had returned in the uniform showed that what Nora had said was all correct.
From the looks of it, Karl's identity must have been reinstated.
The obstacle standing in the way of the Smiths would go away even without him speaking with the
relevant authorities.
Upon hearing what Joel said, Karl sniffed himself.
Then, he scratched his head and looked at Tanya.
"Do I smell? I've been taking baths every day in the special department!"
As he spoke, he even stretched his arm towards Tanya so that she could take a sniff as well.
Tanya:"..."
She pushed Karl's arm away and sighed.
"There are dumplings in the kitchen.Do you want some?"
Karl's eyes lit up.
"Yes!"
Tanya walked to the kitchen straight away.
The servant in the kitchen said, "What do you need, Ma'am? Let me do it!"
"No, it's fine," replied Tanya.
Then, she took out the frozen dumplings from the refrigerator and put them in the pot.
Karl came over.
The servant smiled and said, "Mrs.Smith made these dumplings herself.She didn't let us help at all!
You're so blessed, Mr.Moore!"
The simple-looking Karl couldn't stop chuckling.
lan came downstairs at this time.
He could get out of the wheelchair and walk with crutches by now, and his recovery was going well.
When he saw Karl, he huffily asked, "Old man, why are you in my house again?"
Karl craned his neck and replied, "I don't have a house in New York, so where my daughter is is my
home!"
When Tanya saw lan, she asked, "Dad, would you also like a plate of dumplings?"
Ever since Joel started calling him "Dad", Tanya had also changed her term of address for lan.
But as soon as she called him "Dad", Karl became jealous.
"Girl, why are you calling him Dad? He's not eating!"
lan couldn't help but smile.
The moment the smile formed, his good looks immediately revealed themselves.He had always been
an attractive man.
Now that he was keeping himself well-maintained, and his cheeks had become a bit fleshier, he looked
a lot younger than before.
His smile was very elegant.
He said, "I'll have a plate."
Initially, he hadn't wanted to eat it, but just for the sake of annoying Karl, he would have a plate of
dumplings, no matter what.
Karl said’...My daughter made them for me! You are not allowed to eat any!"
lan leaned on the crutches and sneered, "This is my house! Get out of here!"
While the two old men were arguing as if they were children, a group of police officers suddenly
swarmed in through the doorway! There were about ten officers.
All of them were wearing bulletproof vests and had surrounded the living room.
lan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The perspiration-soaked butler came after them and replied, "Sir, I tried to intercept them, but they
refuse to listen to me..."
What accompanied his words was Sue walking in from behind the policemen.
She pointed at Karl and shouted, "Officer, that's him! He is a murderer! He even escaped from prison
and stole your car!"
Karl:"???"
Karl was still holding the bowl of dumplings that Tanya had prepared for him when the policemen
surrounded him.
The officer at the front looked at him warily and asked, "Who are you?"
Karl neatened his uniform, waved, and replied, "One of you, obviously fe Sue immediately yelled, "You
mustn't believe him, officer! His affairs were all over the news just some time ago! Quick, arrest him! He
had already escaped from jail once to attend his daughter's wedding!"
Someone had filmed Karl's escape from prison to attend the wedding the other time.
The video had made it to the news, making him a household name in New York.
Therefore, the police officers had also heard a little about it.They looked at Karl in surprise.
Karl: He put down the bowl of dumplings, sighed, and then took out his ID from his pocket and threw it
to the leading police officer from a distance.
The man flipped open the ID.
Upon seeing the badge number on it, he opened up the system and keyed in his information.
Karl's profile appeared at once.
When he saw the words "Went undercover for 25 years.Returned to the team on XX day of XX month
of XX year"
Among other things, he was filled with awe and respect at once.
Sue was still sneering at them.
"Tanya, you are too much! Hurry up and persuade your father to surrender! Don't drag the Smiths into
this! You mustn't be so selfish! Now that you have become known as a murderer's daughter, it's already
very hard for you to socialize in New York.You'll be breaking the law if you continue to shelter a
criminal! Even if you must break the law to help your father, how can you drag the Smiths? You—"
Sue was very afraid of Karl, so she was hiding behind the leading policeman as she spoke.
While she was speaking, though, she saw the policeman suddenly straightening his back.
Then, he saluted Karl!
After that, with a wave from him, the other SWAT officers also immediately stood straight and put away
their weapons.
Then, the leading policeman walked up to Karl and respectfully returned his ID "Thank you for your
hard work!"
Sue:"??"
Karl waved him off.
"Not at all."
After Kai put away his credentials, just as the policemen were about to leave, he suddenly said, "There
are costs for you guys to respond to a call like this, right?"
Of course.
It took time for everyone to gather at the training ground, collect their equipment, and set off.Before the
leader could reply, Karl looked at Sue again and said, "You can't just respond to a call for nothing.Why
not take this woman who made the false police report back with you and educate her?"
"Yes, sir!"
Karl was a retiree of the special department.
Morris had even given him several medals.
All the contributions he had made were all apparent on his clothes in the form of medals.
Thus, his position was much higher than the other officers’.
Upon hearing what Karl said, the officers immediately held Sue down Dumbfounded, Sue shouted, "No!
I'm not...! I didn't...! What is going on? I don't know anything at all..."
It was just a shame that they couldn't hear the rest of what she said as the group of policemen was
very efficient.
They took her with them straight away.
After they left, Karl looked at lan.
"The Smiths suck.How come random people just waltz in so casually?"
