There was a cold and menacing glint in Scarlett's eyes. This is the woman who infiltrated the research institute's databank and stole my information. She even hacked City Hall's system and registered Justin and Veronique's marriage, causing my wonderful dream to be shattered. I was embarrassed in front of everyone because of her.

“It's fine even if there isn't any evidence. With the Fletcher family's influence, I believe it'll be easy to invite her to the police station to cooperate with us in the investigation as long as she's a suspect.”

With that, she hung up the phone and made a call to the Department of Justice in Hallsbay.

Because of her status, the Department of Justice couldn't ignore her request.

Half an hour later, a group of officers led by a person in charge from the Department of Justice arrived in front of Luther Group's building.

Moments later, Scarlett reached the scene in her car as well.

Right after she got out of the vehicle, the person in charge immediately approached her.

“Ms. Fletcher, you mentioned Bailey committed a crime. May I know what the involved offenses are? If you enlighten me in advance, I can be mentally prepared to handle this issue.”

Scarlett took off her sunglasses, glanced at the person in charge indifferently, and scoffed, “I know you're acquainted with Bailey, but she committed some severe crimes. You won't be able to safeguard her, so I suggest you be more sensible.”

“Yes, you're right. Can you tell me what illegal things she did, then?”

“First, she infiltrated a research institute in Jadeborough and stole some classified information from the databank. Second, she hacked into the system of City Hall in Hallsbay to tamper with the stored details. I reckon these two offenses are sufficient to detain her, right?”

The person in charge was taken aback. Ms. Jefferson, you're getting more and more capable of causing trouble.

“These are severe unlawful acts. May I know if you have any evidence to support your claim, Ms. Fletcher?”

Scarlett glared at him and said through gritted teeth, “She's highly suspicious. The Department of Justice can take her into custody for further investigation for this reason alone. What's the matter? Are you trying to defy my orders?”

“No, no. I wouldn't dare to do that.”


In fact, he did lack the courage to refuse Scarlett. After all, she was the daughter of the most prestigious family in the political world. No one would dare to offend her.

“If that's the case, you should quit yapping and go to the top floor office to seize Bailey so that you can bring her back to the Department of Justice to interrogate her.”

The person in charge was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, inside the CEO's office on the highest floor of the building, Artemis was drinking coffee with Raiden.

The atmosphere inside the room was slightly tense.

“You've been visiting Luther Group rather diligently lately, Mr. Fletcher. It's as if this top-floor office has become your family's backyard.”

Raiden arched his brow. He disregarded Artemis' unfriendly tone and said while wearing a faint smile, “I can't help it. I must carry out the duty assigned to me by my nation with dedication. Everyone in Chanaea is placing all of their hopes in Ms. Jefferson. Her accomplishment will determine whether the 5G internet can be successfully invented. I need to stay by her side and ensure her safety at all times.”

Artemis snorted in response.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open. Dwayne hurried into the room and said anxiously, “Mr. Luther, the person in charge of the Department of Justice has led a team here to apprehend Ms. Jefferson. They're already inside the elevator.”

What?

The two men leaning against the couch were both dumbfounded as they simultaneously turned to look at Dwayne.

Dwayne shifted his gaze to Raiden and uttered calmly, “It was Ms. Fletcher who contacted the Department of Justice and called them over to arrest Bailey.”

Raiden was stumped.

Artemis could not help but let out another snort. “Mr. Fletcher, can you feel the intense irony lingering in the air?”

Pfft! What a fool. He was talking about ensuring Bailey's safety just a few moments ago, but his sister barged in here the next second, wanting to detain Bailey. What an irony.

Raiden pursed his lips as he narrowed his eyes and regarded Artemis with a grimace.

Artemis shrugged. Oh, I'm so scared. Tch! He's not qualified to act as he pleases here in Hallsbay.

Meanwhile, Bailey was working on a source code inside an office when someone suddenly barged into the room.

She looked up in annoyance and met Scarlett's mocking expression.

“Are you looking for me?”

Scarlett cut to the chase. “Bring her away.”

Bailey curled her lips into a smile and shifted her gaze to the person in charge of the Department of Justice. She raised her brows and asked, “What did I do wrong? Do you mind telling me?”

The latter sighed. “Ms. Fletcher said you infiltrated the database of a research institute in Jadeborough and hacked into City Hall's system. We would like to invite you to the police station to cooperate with our investigation.”

“Oh, you're requesting me to accompany you for a cup of coffee? Sure. I'll follow you.”

With that, she got up from her swivel chair.
