Chapter 487
“Why are you running, Mr. Brad? Didn’t you hear the police coming to arrest you?” asked the strikingly handsome man from the couple, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Brad’s eye twitched as he cautiously asked, “Who are you? How do you know who I am? And how do you know the police are here for me?”
This time, it was the beautiful woman from the couple who answered. She said with a smirk, "Well, we’re the ones who called the police. And Mr. Chapman is working with us to catch you, so of course, we know everything that’s going on!”
Brad’s mind went blank as realization hit him, and he pointed at the couple while backing away. He stammered, “Y–You’re Lauren Rhodes, the heiress of the Rhodes family. And y-you’re Andrew Lloyd, the one who beat up our family’s elder!”
The pretend couple was indeed Andrew and Lauren. Lauren was dressed in trendy club wear with striking makeup, looking every bit the queen of the night scene. Meanwhile, Andrew was sporting a tailored suit with slicked-back hair, giving off a sophisticated bad-boy vibe.
The dim bar lighting combined with Brad’s alcohol consumption had initially prevented him from recognizing them.
“Lauren, Andrew–how dare you set me up on Weller family territory? You’re asking for death!” Brad scrambled to his feet in panic, spitting out the curse before turning to flee.
He had finally realized he had fallen right into their trap. However, he had barely taken two steps when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, as if he had been hit with a blunt object.
Brad internally cursed, “Shit,” before everything went black.
Andrew lowered his hand and said flatly, “I came personally because I knew you’d have tricks up your sleeve. If I let you escape, I might as well quit my job.”
Donald entered with his team and immediately arrested Brad. The bar manager stepped forward angrily, saying, “Mr. Warren, Mr. Brad is with the Weller family. Mr. Weller won’t let this random arrest slide!”
Donald scoffed. “Go tell Harvey that the Weller family is under investigation for kidnapping and extortion. I’ll be paying him a personal visit soon.”
The manager watched as they were about to load Brad into the police car, his eyes turning fierce as he moved to intervene. He knew that Harvey’s position as the family head could be compromised if Brad was arrested.
Yet, before he could act, Donald’s backhand sent him crumpling to the floor unconscious. He shouted, “How dare trash like you try to obstruct justice!”
Then, he commanded his team, “Move out!”
He left with a satisfied smile, mission accomplished.
Lauren spoke firmly, “Mr. Warren, Brad extorted Mr. Chapman from Rhodes Corporation. You know how serious this is–we trust you’ll handle this case properly.”
Donald replied gravely, “Rest assured, Ms. Rhodes. Brad won’t see daylight for several years, and the Weller family won’t escape accountability. Both you and Mr. Lloyd will get the justice you deserve.”
Lauren nodded with a smile. “Thank you for your hard work!”
Andrew walked over to Marcus and patted his shoulder, asking, “How do you feel, Mr. Chapman?”
Marcus grinned. “Much better. It’s satisfying to see the Weller family get what they deserve.”
After being oppressed by the Weller family for so long, Andrew’s support helped him feel vindicated, lifting a weight off his chest.
Lauren sighed, “It’s just a shame we couldn’t catch Harvey in the act. That man is truly despicable.”
