Schmidt Group!” Daisy cried hysterically, on the verge of a breakdown.
“Enough! Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to hear?” Josh glared at her, overwhelming her with his oppressive presence.
Indeed, Daisy dared not cry anymore. Trembling, she begged, “Josh… you must save Tim. Even if it’s for the reputation of Schmidt Group… you have to save him.”
“I know.”
Josh took a deep breath, and his eyes turned dark. “Once this matter gets out, officials will come to investigate Timothy. I’ll send people to seal off the scene and try to get you a chance to leave.”
The venue was in chaos, and security personnel were deployed to maintain order.
However, the event was grand, and numerous media outlets were invited. All the reporters swarmed
Timothy, trapping him in the middle and making it difficult for him to move.
That was how the media industry worked. For them, scandals were like blood in the water, and they were the sharks.
Moreover, this was an epic scandal.
Victor’s son-in-law, the hottest contender in the city’s mayoral election, was actually involved in embezzlement and illicit affairs.
Who wouldn’t want to be the first to report this? Every reporter was eager to devour Timothy alive.
“Mr. Hodgson, should I contact headquarters to send more personnel? The situation is getting out of control.” Orlander’s secretary hurriedly approached Orlander.
Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Orlander left the spacious stage to his rival with a smile that suggested he enjoyed watching the spectacle.
“Let’s just quietly enjoy the show. You don’t need to do anything. But make sure to protect me and my wife, lest a bigger spectacle unfold, and we get caught up later.”
To prevent the situation from worsening, the Schmidt family increased security personnel to guard both the front and back doors of the venue.
At this moment, three black cars lined up at the entrance.
As the doors opened, prosecutors, dressed in suits with badges displayed, quickly exited the vehicles.
Leading the way was Silas. His eyes were bright, and he had a solemn expression. It was a far cry from his playful demeanor in front of his family.
His powerful presence was so intense that it made people hold their breath and refrain from staring.
Upon seeing the procession of prosecutors approaching, the security guard at the entrance was intimidated.
“Please make way. Don’t delay our work.” Silas spoke calmly, with a cold and composed expression.
The security guard dared not obstruct, nodding in agreement as he made way for them.
Upon entering the hall, Silas pressed the Bluetooth earpiece on his left ear and contacted Alyssa.
“Lyse, I’m in.”
“What? How did it go so smoothly? That’s a bit unexpected,” Alyssa expressed some surprise.
“Look at who you’re talking to. In critical moments, it has to be me¡ª”
Unexpectedly, Silas only managed to keep up the act for three seconds before Schmidt Group’s men swiftly arrived, forming an impenetrable barrier.
“Uh-oh, someone got slapped in the face.”
Alyssa’s playful laughter echoed in Silas’ ear. “It seems it’s not as smooth as you imagined.”
“Can you see me?” Silas whispered, looking around.
“Of course. Not only can I see you, but I can also see what’s happening inside the venue.”
On the other end, Alyssa had her chin resting on her hand. From the screen, she watched Timothy being besieged by the crowd and a pale Victor, who was torn between leaving and staying.
She couldn’t help but smile happily. “This is really a must-watch spectacle.”
Silas straightened his posture and tightened his tie. “Hmph! Just watch, Lyse. I’ll add the most intense scene to this spectacle today.”
“Don’t you need to get in first?”
As soon as Alyssa said that, Jeremy’s warm hand encircled her, gently rubbing her shoulders. “Lyse, don’t worry. As I said, I have people inside. Silas will surely get in.”
Alyssa’s eyes were narrowed from her smile as she leaned against Jeremy’s chest.
She had been independent all these years, whether as his wife or a doctor without borders. She was like a proud and blooming rose with thorns.
But since she had Jeremy, she just wanted to be an ordinary woman.
No matter what, he always spoiled her and gave her an irreplaceable sense of security.
“Sorry, there’s an important event here today. You can’t go in,” said a Schmidt Group’s bodyguard.
“Silas Taylor, prosecutor of Solana City Investigative Bureau.”
Silas’ eyes were stern as he spoke. “I’m here on official orders. The Investigative Bureau has approved the arrest of Mr. Timothy Clemons for investigation. Please let us do our job.”
“We weren’t notified. We only know that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to step inside.” The bodyguard’s attitude became more uncompromising.
As Silas smirked, his eyes turned cold. “Do you know that you’re already breaking the law?”
The bodyguards had a strong backing, so they didn’t take Silas seriously.
“Looking at your attire, you’re obviously not official personnel. Given your fear of us entering to make an arrest, I’m suspecting you’re affiliated with Schmidt Group.” Silas chuckled.
The bodyguards suddenly panicked.
Before they came to stop the prosecutors, Josh had explicitly ordered them not to mention a word about the Schmidt Group, no matter how they were pressured.
They just had to stall the prosecutors to give more time for the Schmidt family’s operations. If Timothy was taken away by the prosecutors, it would be a dead end.
So they could only grit their teeth and say, “No! We’re not from Schmidt Group. We were sent by Mr.
Hodgson to maintain order.”
“Oh? You’re Mr. Hodgson’s people? How come I don’t recognize any of you?”
A calm voice, accompanied by footsteps, approached. At once, everyone turned around.
The person approaching was none other than Daniel Crosby, Orlander’s chief secretary. He was accompanied by a group of people, all working for the Hodgson family.
Schmidt Group’s bodyguards were dumbfounded.
“How dare you impersonate the Hodgson family’s men and frame Mr. Hodgson right under his nose?”
Daniel sternly scolded, then turned to Silas with a polite smile. “Mr. Taylor, I think you should issue another arrest warrant to apprehend these people who are obstructing official duties. Get the name of the person behind their back to clear Mr. Hodgson’s name.”
Silas nodded. “I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“Good. By the way, Mr. Hodgson supports the officials’ decisions and will spare no effort to cooperate fully with the work of the prosecutors.”
Daniel took the opportunity to boost Orlander’s image. He was truly smart.
People from the Schmidt Group were utterly defeated. None dared to block the prosecutors anymore.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
Silas walked with determination, leading his subordinate, Finley Lawson, toward the venue.
As they left, Daniel avoided others and went to a corner to make a phone call.
At this moment, Jeremy, who was asking for a kiss from Alyssa, received a call on his phone.
“Stop it… I gotta answer the phone.” Blushing, Alyssa put her hands on his chest. When she felt the perfect shape of his chest muscles through his shirt, she began to imagine things.
Jeremy’s eyes deepened. Taking advantage of her distraction, he grabbed her chin and pecked her lips before pressing the speakerphone button.
