My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 47

The policeman rolled his eyes at them and announced, “We have received a phone call from the police chief himself asking us to arrest Inspector Murphy for investigation!”

“On top of that, both of you have to stay back tonight.” He pointed at Abby and Tom. Both of their expressions turned grave after the announcement.

“Why do we have to stay back? We have not done anything wrong!” Abby shouted like an uncultured swine.

“You’ve caused trouble and tried to occupy other people’s property illegally. Don’t you think these offenses are enough to get you arrested?” The policeman pointed out their crimes one by one. “You’ll easily be jailed for two years because of this!”

Tom’s face was as pale as a sheet, and he stared at Amelie with disbelief. He couldn’t believe that she could, get the police chief involved with just a phone call and, at the same time, get rid of Inspector Murphy that easily. How could that be… Didn’t she get divorced without taking a cent from the Alston Family? I thought she didn’t have anyone from her family who could back her? Since Tom was born and raised there, he was aware that Steven only moved and stayed there later on. Although Tom had been living there for a decade or so, he didn’t have any relatives there.

Without wasting any more time, the policeman waved, signaling his men to handcuff Tom. Seeing that, Abby tried to escape but was dragged back. Soon, three of them were taken away by the men that were sent over by the police chief.

After that, the officer went over to Amelie and Steven before apologizing to them. “Although I know that both of you were innocent earlier on, Inspector Murphy… Sigh, I’m sure both of you know what it’s like to work in the countryside.”

“We understand.” Amelie didn’t fuss about it, as she knew the situation the policeman was in. With that, the police officers politely sent both of them out. He then personally went to the unit and made everyone from the Wilson Family vacate the property on the same night.

Since Abby and Tom had been brought away, only Tom’s wife and son were left there. As they moved out, she couldn’t stop sobbing and cursed at Abby and Tom. By then, Amelie and Steven had walked out together.
