Chapter 21 No One Can Bully Her

Dillan furrowed his brows, but before he could think much more, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Harper, we're screwed. The girl we arrested today has some powerful backing. Even the higher-ups have been alerted, and they've ordered us to release her. If we don't comply, we're in serious trouble. You'd better come over quickly!"

He was stunned.

Even the higher-ups were alerted?

What was going on?

Wasn't this just a theft case?

After pondering for a moment, Dillan spoke with a cold face, "So what if she has backing? We uphold justice and we haven't wrongly accused anyone. As a suspect, it is her duty to cooperate with us for the investigation."

"Suspect? We've already called your mother, and she didn't lose her bracelet," the person on the other end said. "Also, Ms. Geller is not a tenant in Fallingwater Community. She recently bought the house at three times the market price."

"What?" He was shocked. "It wasn't lost?"

He suddenly realized something, and his face immediately turned ashen.

"Danny is furious. I made a sneaky call to you. You need to come quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Dillan angrily opened the door and walked quickly towards Amari.

"Slap!"

Amari was talking to Alisa when she was suddenly slapped. She covered her face and looked at him in disbelief. "Brother, why did you hit me?"

Dillan's face turned dark as he glared at her. "Tell me the truth. Did Mom really lose her bracelet?"

His little sister had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he didn't doubt her when she said someone had stolen their mother's bracelet. Besides, when he came back, their mother wasn't there, and therefore he didn't ask much about it.

Who would have thought that she would dare to lie to him.

Amari's eyes flashed as she said, "It really was lost."

"Slap!" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Dillan slapped her again. "You're still lying to me! Amari, is this how I educated you? How dare you falsely accuse someone of such a serious matter? Are you tired of living comfortably in this family?"

Amari turned pale and said, "Brother, you... you already know?"

Dillan was even more enraged when he saw her like this.

Thinking of what Danny had said on the phone, he grabbed her arm and said, "Come with me right now to explain everything. I warn you, if you dare to mess around again, I will kick you out of our family."

Amari didn't even have a chance to speak as Dillan dragged her out.

As they left, Alisa followed behind, appearing completely dazed and unresponsive.

The Criminal Police Unit.

Dillan hurriedly arrived at the Criminal Police Unit with Amari.

From a distance, he could see Danny seething with anger, shouting and berating several law enforcement officers.

He paused for a moment before walking up and said, "Danny."

"And you still remember who I am! You don't even give me enough respect!" Danny saw him and continued to berate him in anger. "Do you think this Criminal Police Unit serves only your family? Do whatever you want? Is this how you usually handle cases, Dillan?"

Dillan was momentarily speechless.

Without waiting for a response, Danny kicked him and said, "What are you standing there for? Go apologize to Ms. Geller! She came here because of you, and now she won't leave! I'm giving you ten minutes to make her leave, or you can leave instead."

Upon hearing this, Dillan immediately rushed into the interrogation room.

As soon as the door opened, Gianna was seen sitting on a chair wearing a face of apathy.

He cleared his throat and forced a smile, "Ms. Geller, I apologize for my negligence. I listened to my sister's one-sided words and brought you here without investigating thoroughly. I apologize to you."

Gianna crossed her arms and looked at him with a cold smile.

Although he didn't know about Gianna's background, he felt a little uneasy being stared at by her.

He quickly turned to Amari and sternly said, "What are you waiting for? Apologize to Ms. Geller now!"

Amari was reluctant to apologize.

But seeing Dillan's fierce expression, she reluctantly spoke, "I'm sorry, Ms. Geller. I misunderstood you. My Mom's bracelet was found by the housekeeper and placed in the wrong place, and I mistakenly thought it was lost."

This was what Dillan taught her to say on the way here.

"So, does that mean I'm cleared of suspicion?" Gianna raised an eyebrow and asked with a wicked grin.

"It was our mistake, Ms. Geller is not under suspicion." Dillan immediately said. "Regarding this misunderstanding, we will compensate you. I will take you back home now."

"I have no intention of going back." Gianna said with a faint tone. "It's very comfortable here."

"Eh..." Dillan hesitated for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Danny immediately pushed open the door and apologized with a smile, "Ms. Geller, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. We're all quite busy here, why don't you go back first?"

If she didn't leave soon, it would be him who had to leave.

Leaning on her chair, Gianna smiled and asked, "What kind of explanation do you have for me?"

Danny hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ms. Harper made a false accusation and slandered others, so she must be detained and investigated based on the law. Captain Dillan will be suspended from duty for three months for misconduct, while the others will be suspended for two months. What do you think?"

Gianna pursed her lips and said, "Everyone seems to be busy, so I won't disturb you any longer."

She stood up, gave Amari a deep glance, and turned around to leave.

Amari clenched her teeth, looking furious.

Danny let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'll walk you out."

At the entrance of the Criminal Police Unit, Gianna and Danny saw Sherman, Laney, and Ronan rushing over in a hurry.

"Gia!" Sherman ran over anxiously when he saw her, "Are you okay?"

Gianna felt warm inside when she saw his anxious expression. "I'm fine."

Laney pulled her and checked her over, relieved to see that she was unharmed. "You really scared me. We saw the news and were so worried. Seeing that you are all right, I feel relieved. Are you hungry? Shall I cook for you?" she asked.

Gianna smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm a little hungry. I want to eat your hash browns."

"Okay, I'll make them for you when we get back."

After a pause, Gianna asked with a sideways glance, "Did I make the news?"

Laney nodded, "All major media in Rheinsville City were reporting it today. They said that Ms. Geller was caught stealing. Your father and I saw the news and came over right away."

Gianna replied with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "I see."

Near the entrance of the Criminal Police Unit, a black sedan was parked there.

Murray looked at them not far away and turned to ask Lloyd, "Mr. Finley, should we go over there?"

Lloyd's long fingers rested on the windowsill, his deep eyes slightly narrowed. After a moment, he said, "No need, let's go."

His fiancée really surprised him. She was able to get Danny to personally escort her out.

Not many people in Rheinsville City could have pulled that off.

On the way, Lloyd spoke slowly, "Find something for the Harper family to do."

Murray was puzzled and asked, "Are you trying to stand up for Ms. Geller?"

"No one is allowed to bully my fiancée. If someone did, they must pay a price." his voice was coated with a layer of frost.
