“Yes, this is the Berry Residence. What’s the matter, Sir?”
The officer leading the group showed a piece of paper in front of Mary. “This is an arrest warrant. We
went to Berry Furnishings but didn’t see him. Is he at home?”
Mary’s face was instantly drained of blood, as she asked with trembling lips, “Arrest? Why arrest him?
What did he do wrong?”
“We received an anonymous report that Horace Berry engages in tax evasion, and we have solid
evidence. So, we’re arresting him,” the officer replied. “Please get in touch with Horace Berry.
Otherwise, we will post a nationwide arrest warrant on the Internet.”
Mary went weak in the knees and staggered, nearly passing out.
Fortunately, Penelope hurriedly supported her by her side. “Mom, mom, are you okay?”
“W-Where should I find him? He went to the company in the morning. He hasn’t come back since,”
Mary bawled.
What do we do if Horace goes to jail? What will we eat? Where will we get the money to spend? How
will I maintain my lavish lifestyle? Penelope has now lost her job as well.
Mary felt like her whole world was caving in.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Horace rushed in sweating and shouted anxiously, “Darling, hurry up and pack some clothes for me.
I’m going out—”
Before he finished speaking, he saw the policemen standing in the living room. His voice got stuck in
his throat, making him unable to speak anymore.
W-Why are the cops here?
He was ashen-faced. He had only escaped from the company after his assistant said that the police
were looking for him.
He initially wanted to go home, pack some clothes, and leave, but to his dismay, the police were
already waiting for him at home.
He widened his eyes in disbelief as the police walked up to him and handcuffed him.
It was not until the cold handcuffs secured his hands together that he came back to his senses, saying,
“I was framed. I didn’t evade taxes! I didn’t!”
“Any reservations, you can talk to the judge in court.” With an indifferent look, the officer then said
coldly, “Take him away!”
Mary rushed over and hugged Horace. “No one is allowed to take my husband away. He has done
nothing wrong! If you dare to take him away, I’ll bang my head against the wall and kill myself!”
Horace didn’t expect Mary to be so protective of him. Feeling touched, he looked at her and said, “It’s
okay Darling. You should live a good life with Penelope while waiting for me to come out.”
“We can’t live without you, Darling! What will Penelope and I do after you’re gone?” Mary cried bitterly.
Who will give me money? She usually hung out with several wives of wealthy men when she was free.
If she had no money and the company closed down in the future, she would not have the face to hang
out with them anymore.
Penelope also grabbed Horace in the arm. “Dad! I was sacked from the hospital today!”
“What?” Horace looked shocked. “Why?”
“It’s a long story. Dad, you can’t leave mom and I behind! We really can’t live without you!” Penelope
also started to weep.
Horace stared at Mary with a look of trouble. He was heartbroken and worried. In the end, he was
taken away by the police without saying anything else.
Mary chased after them and watched the police car speed away. She couldn’t help but fume with
anger.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you?” Penelope asked, feeling curious after noticing the abrupt change on her
mother’s face.
Wasn’t Mom worried so much about Dad just now? It was as if he’s in a life-or-death situation!
Why the sudden change in her attitude?
“Your dad still doesn’t trust me enough,” Mary scowled, her face darkening. “Hmph! He has a safe with
some of his cash. I thought he would tell me the password, but he actually left without saying anything.
It’s driving me crazy!”
It seems like I can’t rely on Horace anymore. I’ll have to find another way out.
