"Bitch!"

James cursed under his breath, feeling both ashamed and furious. But he refused to confront Sasha directly out of pride. It would be like causing a scene in public.

Lance was fuming with confusion. After just one dinner event, his son ended up at the police station as a suspect! This was completely unacceptable!

Celeste felt uneasy. Sweat started to form on her forehead.

'Rape... Who did Charles rape? Could it be...?'

She couldn't shake off the worry about her daughter, who had been holed up in her room since coming back home. Amelia said she was not feeling well and refused to come out, no matter how much Celeste knocked.

As a mother, Celeste felt extremely anxious and tense, with her heart racing and her breathing turning labored.

"Chairman Iverson, we see how worried you are for your son."

Mila held back Sasha, who was extremely furious, her gaze steady and resolute. "Even if Mr. Charles was taken to the police station by Asher, he must have done something wrong. Instead of demanding answers from us here, you might as well find a good lawyer for him."

"Hey, Aunt Mila, you're absolutely right!" Axel spoke sarcastically, raising his eyebrows. "I think you can consider hiring Hunter, the eldest young master from the Lovett family. That filthy, profit-driven scoundrel is best suited to handle a case like Mr. Charles'. But then again, currently he must be busy cleaning up after Madam Salvador's mess. I wonder if he can make time for you."

The Iverson family father and son were about to explode with rage.

The Thompson family members were sharp-tongued and united like an impenetrable fortress, leaving them no room to attack.

Christopher's pale face was covered with a thin layer of sweat. If the situation continued to escalate, it might ruin his original plan. But at this moment, he couldn't afford to step forward and speak for either side. He had to remain invisible, or it would be detrimental to him.

"Anyway, Charles would never do such a thing! There must be something fishy going on here. It's a scam!" Lance glared resentfully at Asher, but his words were directed at Wyatt.

"Wyatt, Asher must personally come forward to get Charles out of the police station tonight and drop the charges! Otherwise, the Iverson family will be at war with the Thompson family."

Wyatt furrowed his brows, his gaze piercing, as he turned to look at Asher. "Asher, what's going on with Mr. Charles? I need an explanation from you!"

"You want Asher to get that beast out and for us to drop the charges? Huh, you can forget about it! That's not going to happen, absolutely impossible!"

All eyes turned toward the source of the voice. They saw a figure descending gracefully from the spiral staircase, exuding an air of aristocratic elegance. Bella took the lead, while Declan followed closely behind her, like a silent knight guarding his queen.

Declan's brows and eyes were as calm as stars, yet they harbored a sharp and chilling edge. When he looked around, it seemed to make everyone hold their breath with the weight of his gaze.

It was only when he glanced at his younger sister that his eyes radiated a gentle warmth.

Christopher knew that this man was Bella's third brother. He had a solid military background and was influential, as he commanded unwavering loyalty.

Yet, despite all this, Christopher felt intense jealousy. Anyone could stand beside Bella except him. What did he need to do to earn that place? Would he have to go to extreme lengths and ruthlessly eliminate these troublesome men?!

"Bella?! What are you doing here?" Wyatt asked in surprise, then turned to look at Declan. He doted on her so much. It must have been him who let her out!

"Chairman Iverson, Mr. James, when the two of you visited Charles, did he only mention that my big brother arrested him? Didn't he mention anything else?"

Bella stepped down the final step of the stairs, her smile strikingly beautiful yet unsettlingly icy. "Not only did I arrest him, I also crushed his tailbone, broke his fingers, and knocked out his front teeth. Initially, I considered castrating him, but I suppose it wasn't necessary." Bella said as she let out a smirk. "Even if I don't do that, it can never get erected for the remainder of his life."
