Olivia nodded. “Yeah. If it weren’t for this recording, I would have been left wondering about the conversation and whether there were any unfavorable remarks about me. I have to say, this recording helped you, Eugene.”
Eugene looked at the united and unwelcoming front of the mother and kids with a mix of anger and amusement. They shared such a harmonious bond with Olivia as if they were blood relatives, while he, the biological father, felt like an outsider.
Suddenly, he paused as a thought flashed through his mind. Before he could capture it, her next question diverted his thoughts. “How did they end up staying with you?”
The Rogers siblings all turned their gaze toward him. Eugene held nothing back and told Olivia everything that happened last night.
After listening, she was also startled and immediately looked at the Rogers siblings with worry. “Are you all okay?” They nodded their little heads.
Olivia could not help but advise, “If you ever find yourself in a similar situation again, never open the door. Your safety would be at risk if that trap couldn’t hold them. Next time something like this happens, call the bodyguards first and reach out to me or your dad. Don’t confront them directly, okay?”
The three of them obediently nodded. Olivia looked at Eugene. “Who were those men? It seems like they know them well. They even have information about us.”
He said, “I’ll head to the police station later to investigate.” She asked again, “Alright, but they can’t stay there anymore. How’s the renovation going at the villa?” He replied, “It should be done by the weekend.”
Olivia suggested, “Let them stay here for these few days.” Eugene looked at the Rogers siblings. ‘Is that okay?” The kids exchanged glances and nodded.
“Okay, let’s eat. You don’t want to be late for school.” With that, he turned and headed toward the kitchen. After finishing the meal, he sent the kids to school and went straight to the police station.
The three men from last night were arrested without any interrogation. During today’s interrogation, Eugene was in the adjacent room where he could see the interrogation room. It was a room where he I could see the interrogation room.
He looked at the three men and listened to their sophistry. They insisted they were merely delivering a package, but when questioned by the police about why three individuals were necessary for delivering an empty box, their answers fell short. Under the police’s pressure, they eventually confessed they had intended to steal something but failed and were caught by the police.
Eugene looked at their eyes, injuries, and the calluses on their hands that had accumulated over the years. He could tell they were no ordinary thieves. However, he did not comment much and said, “Since that’s the case, let them go.”
Although the police were curious about his sudden leniency, they refrained from asking further questions as he chose not to press charges.
As these three men had not actually stolen anything and had merely been injured by triggering traps, the situation was not straightforward to deal with.
Now, the situation got more straightforward for the police. The three men received a minor administrative penalty and were subsequently released.
In the afternoon, the three men strutted out of the police station with arrogance and boasted in their hearts, So what if we got arrested? In the end, they could only release us.
Little did they know that moments after leaving the police station, they were surrounded by a group of individuals. While these individuals maintained a polite facade, the thieves felt a hard object discreetly pressed against their lower backs.
Having guessed what the objects against their backs were, the three men refrained from making any rash movements and were led away passively.
