However, being arrested had not been on his list of goals to achieve here. He didn't panic, though. Instead, he saw this as an opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of Southdale.
As such, he stayed quiet throughout the ordeal.

However, her tone was venomous as she added, "But you'll have to bring her in as well." With that, Wynter nodded in the direction of the middle-aged lady who was trying to sneak away.
The officers present exchanged a confused look. They silently asked each other if they had been ordered to arrest the middle-aged lady as well.
Wynter saw their hesitation and bit down on her candy. Her dark hair cascaded over one shoulder as she drawled, "What, you guys get to pick and choose who you bring in for questioning? "There are 100 thousand viewers on my livestream watching this, you know." That was a lie. The livestream had ended a while ago and none of the viewers knew what was happening now. Still, the lie worked.

Wynter reassured her, "Don't worry, Grandma. Wolf will be back soon to keep you company. Get srest and eat something.
"Don't worry about the live-streaming channel, either. I'm just helping the police with their investigation, and I'll be back after that.
"If anyone comes up to you and blackmails you, ignore them. Don't entertain them even if they useas leverage, all right?" She tucked a strand of gray hair behind Margaret's ear. "I'll be fine, Grandma. I'm strong." Margaret knew Wynter could take care of herself, but she was still worried. After all, Wynter was being taken to a police station for questioning.
To his credit, the leading officer comforted Margaret, “Don't worry, ma'am. We're not the type to fault the innocent and let the wrongdoers go unpunished.
"We'll let your granddaughter go once she's been cleared of any wrongdoing." He had to put on the good cop act now that he knew 100 thousand people were watching.

"Damn brat. That's what happens when you mess with me! Let's see how you'll fare in prison!" she hissed under her breath. She was in no hurry to reveal herself. It was much more satisfying playing the mastermind, at least for now. Granted, more people had been arrested than Wanda initially planned. However, it wouldn't affect the grand schof things.
Chapter 187 Foul Play Wanda thought the others who had been arrested were likely piss-poor, bumpkin relatives of Wynter's.
Wanda had seen those two men earlier show up on a motorbike,m which was embarrassing: She wondered where they even got the nerve to raise their voices. As for Ivan, Wanda had yet to get in touch with him.
If they went according to his plan, then they would both have to start taking precautions once the accounts were launched.
