Generally speaking, children would always look adorable in their parents’ eyes, but when David recalled the dirty deeds Daisy and David did, he felt enraged.
In front of Cyrus, he felt utterly ashamed that he wanted to find a place to hide.
But in comparison, Jameson was a promising son. His look, bearing, and abilities were all outstanding
¡ª enough to rival the Taylors.
Yet, the most ironic thing was that Victor had forgotten that Jameson used to be the one he despised the most.
When he sent Lily and Jameson to Kontina, he declared in front of the entire Schmidt family, “Consider them dead!”
Later, due to the fervent pleading of the young Jameson on his knees, David reluctantly agreed to send them money annually for their living expenses.
Apart from that, everything related to the Schmidt family¡ªthe family fund, power, and shares¡ªhad nothing to do with them anymore.
And all of this began because Lily “betrayed” Victor. She was dating a lowly bodyguard and was caught in the act.
After facing severe punishment, that bodyguard was banished overseas. But Lily, who had no defense, suffered unbearable mistreatment. Her condition gradually worsened. Along with her son, she was despised and expelled from the Schmidt family.
Up to this point, Victor had never envisioned that the supposedly spontaneous “caught in the act”
scenario was entirely orchestrated by Josh, and the wife he had harbored resentment toward for years genuinely loved him.
Furthermore, he never envisioned that the youngest son, whom he had started to trust, would come back after all these years, not to revive their strained father-son relationship, but to seek revenge against both him and Josh.
Jameson aimed to take possession of the Schmidt Group¡ªthe thing they cared about most¡ªfrom their hands.
Jameson stood behind them. His eyes were dark and cold as he stared at Cyrus with a sinister smirk.
Although he hated everyone in the Taylor family except Alyssa, he couldn’t wait to see what surprises
Cyrus would bring to David.
“Mr. Cyrus, David’s case has been closed. Why are you here today? Is our coffee better than your station’s? Doesn’t Uncle Winston give you pocket money to buy coffee?” Josh mocked while squinting.
Uncle Winston?
The two police officers stared at Cyrus in astonishment.
It couldn’t be Winston Taylor, could it?
“No matter how bad the coffee at the station might be, at least it won’t harm my body. I wouldn’t dare drink anything from your house. Who knows if they might rot my stomach or my heart? It’s not worth it,”
Cyrus retorted to Josh’s sarcasm.
“Cyrus, David’s case has already been closed. It was you who released him! What are you doing here again?”
Victor was too annoyed to bicker with him. His eyes were red from rage. “You can’t arrest David without evidence. I’ll never let you do that.
“Also, we’re not some losers you Taylors can push around. I’m paying you some respect because of our long-standing relationship and because you’re Winston’s son. Don’t try to push it.”
Winston’s son?
Their chief was the son of Belbanks’ wealthiest man? Alyssa’s brother?
This revelation hit the two police officers like a meteorite falling to earth.
Cyrus had been in the police force for many years. He was low-key and hardworking, never mentioning anything about his personal life or family background.
Back then, when Cyrus had just become the chief of the Criminal Investigation Division, there were many criticisms against him due to his young age.
Many people said he had connections and a strong background. However, within a short span of three years, all these criticisms vanished as Cyrus solved one major case after another.
They could guess that Cyrus had powerful connections. But they never expected it to be this powerful.
Cyrus knew that Victor was bringing up his father in front of his colleagues to put pressure on him, but he remained unfazed. He even felt like laughing.
“The law will not wrong an innocent person, and it’ll not let any dickheads go free.”
The faces of the Schmidts darkened at once.
“Cyrus! Who are you calling a dickhead?” David shouted as he pointed at Cyrus’ face, but his voice was trembling.
“Mr. David Schmidt, you are now suspected of being involved in an attempted rape case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation,” Cyrus said without further ado as he gazed at David’s pale face.
“Dad! Josh!” David was so desperate that his features twisted in panic.
“Take him away.”
Cyrus’ eyes narrowed, and the two police officers approached David.
Before they could reach him, David’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that, Jameson held back his laughter. He was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Victor felt deeply ashamed and wished he could bury this useless son in a hole. “S-Someone, come help David up!”
“Cyrus, do you think we don’t know the law? If you want to make an arrest, you should have an arrest warrant. Otherwise, it’s just abusing your power. I can file a complaint against you.” Fortunately, Josh wasn’t intimidated by the situation.
“When did I say I was going to arrest him?”
Cyrus smirked, raising his eyebrows. “I said, let David come with us to assist in the investigation, to give his statement. You may look respectable, but it seems you don’t understand plain language.”
Josh clenched his teeth so hard that they might shatter. “Cyrus! You…!”
“After all, everyone saw Ms. Tatiana’s livestream yesterday. She personally accused David. Although he failed to succeed in his attempt because of his impotence, since there’s a victim’s report, we can’t turn a blind eye.”
“I-I won’t go… I won’t go!” David was trembling all over and shaking uncontrollably.
“You don’t dare to even assist with the investigation? Does that mean you have something to hide? Are
Ms. Tatiana’s words all true?”
Cyrus’ expression remained calm, but every word he uttered dripped with hatred. “Refusing to assist with the investigation or trying to flee abroad at this critical moment are all suspicions of guilt. By then,
I’ll have a legitimate reason to request your arrest, Mr. David.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Before coming here, I’d already applied for a travel ban from my superiors. Other than Solana City, you can’t go anywhere else.”
As David was in a state of panic, his body was like mush, even with someone supporting him.
Josh glared fiercely at Cyrus. Just as he was about to speak, Jameson, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected.
“David, you’d better go with Cyrus. You have nothing to hide. It’s just to assist with the investigation anyway. Don’t panic. It’ll be over soon. We’ll come pick you up when you’re done.”
David stared at Jameson with rage.
This bastard had caught another opportunity to kick him while he was down!
Suddenly, Jameson whispered to Victor, “Dad, what Cyrus said makes sense. If David doesn’t assist with the investigation now, it’ll make him look guilty. Cyrus will use even harsher methods against him.
It’ll be difficult to handle then.”
Persuaded by Jameson, Victor immediately changed his tune. “Go with them, David.”
“Dad!” David’s expression was extremely ugly.
Victor waved his hand in frustration, having nothing more to say.
In the end, the Schmidts could only watch helplessly as the two police officers took David away.
As Cyrus was about to leave, he cast a cold glance at Jameson.
Jameson felt a chill from this piercing gaze. The way Cyrus looked at him was like he was interrogating a criminal. It struck a blow to his arrogant pride, leaving him feeling extremely uncomfortable.
“Cyrus! Stop right there!” Josh took a step forward. His face was flushed with anger.
