Chapter 595 - Arresting Someone
She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment
A shudder went through Sue when she heard his voice. Seeing that it was Karl walking in, Sue was reminded of the terror she had felt being dominated by him the last time, and her legs turned into jelly.
Karl was dressed in a police uniform, which covered all of his tattoos and made him look very righteous. It was just that there was no change to his simple and honest image.
As he entered, Karl grinned at Tanya and said, âIâm back.â
Tanyaâs eyes reddened.
Joel put his arm around her shoulders. After greeting his daughter, Karl finally looked at Sue. Upon recognizing her, he frowned and said with displeasure, âYou again?â Sue swallowed hard. âNo, itâs not me!â
Karl: ?
Sue was so terrified that she didnât dare to speak. Instead, she said to Tanya and Joel, âUm, I have something to do, so Iâll be going now!â
She hurried out after speaking, upon which she spotted the police car parked at the door.
Sue became even more scared and almost fell onto the ground. She got into the car and immediately told the chauffeur to quickly drive off. When they reached the gates, she saw the butler instructing his subordinates, âQuick, close the gates. If anyone comes and asks about Mr. Joelâs in-laws, just tell them that you donât know anything!â
âYes, sir!â
The butler sighed. âHe even has the guts to steal a police car. Surely Mr. Moore didnât really break out of prison again, right?â
Sue became even more scared and she didnât dare to say any more. She immediately urged the chauffeur to hurry up and drive back home.
But when she got home, the more Sue thought about it, the more scared she became.
She said to Samuel, âPeople like Karl Moore are all devils who kill without even batting an eyelid. Do you think he will come to take revenge against me?â
Samuel was, surprisingly, relatively calm. He replied, âI know that family well. Although they seem cold and ruthless, they are reliable⦠As long as you donât provoke them, they wonât do anything to you.â
Samuel just found Ian an eyesore, thatâs why he was always going against him. However, he had never harbored any thoughts of harming the Smiths.
Sue, however, said, âBut I have already made an agreement with the other party. They will give the Smiths a chance to bid for the project and I will give them money! This way, I would also become the matriarch of the Smiths. With that, wonât all the Smithsâ little opportunities to make money be ours in the future?â
Samuel curled his lips disdainfully. âDream on. The matriarch of the Smiths? You sure dare to dream big. With how stingy Ian is, he has all the power in the family tightly in his grasp, okay? His word is absolute in for the Smiths! Joel was personally taught and groomed by him. Do you think he will ever make you the matriarch of the Smiths? Donât even think about it!â
Seeing that even Samuel wasnât cooperating with her, Sue got anxious. âWhy are you being such a loser? Havenât you ever thought of improving our familyâs conditions?â
She walked back and forth in the room. Then, she went out. âNo, this wonât do. Iâm calling the cops!â
Samuel was taken aback. âWhat are you going crazy for?â
Sue replied, âI am a good, law-abiding citizen. Now that someone like him has broken out of jail again, I have to inform the police about it! Even if it is not for money, I am afraid that he will come over in the middle of the night and murder me! There are murder cases everywhere these days. Itâs not like you havenât seen the news!â
Before Samuel could recover, Sue had already left.
The forty to fifty-year-old woman was a bit chubby but didnât look swollen. She merely looked a little well-fed. Her butt twisted from side to side as she got into the car and went straight to the nearest police station. The moment she entered, she immediately said, âOfficer, Iâd like to make a police report! A murderer has broken out of jail and is now hiding at the Smith Manor!â

Karl didnât have the time to bother with Sue after she fled. Instead, he asked, âWhat project is it? I can talk to them!â
He was now a hero in the special department. Morris definitely wouldnât reject him if he asked to give the relevant departments a heads-up.
Joel smiled and replied, âNo, itâs fine. Youâve only just returned, you should take a good bath and rest instead!â
The fact that Karl had returned in the uniform showed that what Nora had said was all correct. From the looks of it, Karlâs identity must have been reinstated.
The obstacle standing in the way of the Smiths would go away even without him speaking with the relevant authorities.
Upon hearing what Joel said, Karl sniffed himself. Then, he scratched his head and looked at Tanya. âDo I smell? Iâve been taking baths every day in the special department!â
As he spoke, he even stretched his arm towards Tanya so that she could take a sniff as well.
Tanya: ââ¦â
She pushed Karlâs arm away and sighed. âThere are dumplings in the kitchen. Do you want some?â
Karlâs eyes lit up. âYes!â
Tanya walked to the kitchen straight away.
The servant in the kitchen said, âWhat do you need, Maâam? Let me do it!â
âNo, itâs fine,â replied Tanya. Then, she took out the frozen dumplings from the refrigerator and put them in the pot.
Karl came over. The servant smiled and said, âMrs. Smith made these dumplings herself. She didnât let us help at all! Youâre so blessed, Mr. Moore!â
The simple-looking Karl couldnât stop chuckling
Ian came downstairs at this time.
He could get out of the wheelchair and walk with crutches by now, and his recovery was going well. When he saw Karl, he huffily asked, âOld man, why are you in my house again?â
Karl craned his neck and replied, âI donât have a house in New York, so where my daughter is is my home!â
When Tanya saw Ian, she asked, âDad, would you also like a plate of dumplings?â.
Ever since Joel started calling him âDadâ, Tanya had also changed her term of address for Ian.
But as soon as she called him âDadâ, Karl became jealous. âGirl, why are you calling him Dad? Heâs not eating!â
Ian couldnât help but smile. The moment the smile formed, his good looks immediately revealed themselves. He had always been an attractive man. Now that he was keeping himself well-maintained, and his cheeks had become a bit fleshier, he looked a lot younger than before. His smile was very elegant. He said, âIâll have a plate.â
Initially, he hadnât wanted to eat it, but just for the sake of annoying Karl, he would have a plate of dumplings, no matter what.
Karl said, â⦠My daughter made them for me! You are not allowed to eat any!â
Ian leaned on the crutches and sneered, âThis is my house! Get out of here!â
While the two old men were arguing as if they were children, a group of police officers suddenly swarmed in through the doorway!
There were about ten officers. All of them were wearing bulletproof vests and had surrounded the living room. Ian frowned and asked, âWhatâs going on?â The perspiration-soaked butler came after them and replied, âSir, I tried to intercept them, but they refuse to listen to meâ¦â
What accompanied his words was Sue walking in from behind the policemen. She pointed at Karl and shouted, âOfficer, thatâs him! He is a murderer! He even escaped from prison and stole your car!â Karl:â??â
