Chapter 36
Faye moved out of the way. Timothy entered the living room with his subordinates and Shelby. Faye’s
ice- cold gaze swept past Shelby’s face.
Shelby looked absolutely pitiful, following behind them with her head bowed.
Timothy came up to Wilbur and asked, “Are you Wilbur Penn?”
“That’s me,” Wilbur said.
Timothy said coldly, “Miss Shelby Seacrest here made a report saying that she was sexually assaulted
in your house. You are to cooperate with us immediately and return to the station with us for
investigation.”
“Sure. That’s not a problem. Let me change my clothes,” Wilbur said.
Timothy looked at Wilbur’s torn pajamas. “You can change, but we need to take the pajamas you’re
wearing away with us.”
“Of course.” Wilbur got up and headed for his bedroom. Timothy glanced at the other two policemen,
and one of them followed after Wilbur at once.
Not long after, Wilbur came out in a new set of casual clothes. The pajamas were put into a clear bag

“Come with us.” Timothy was about to take Wilbur away.
Faye panicked at the sight. “No, you can’t just leave with him! That’s not happening.”
Wilbur was hardly the type who needed to force himself onto a girl. Faye knew that better than anyone,
here.
The two of them would’ve been a thing if Wilbur had been after anything like that. Shelby was hardly
even someone of consideration. To think that she was accusing him of sexual assault, too! What a joke!
Yet Timothy said, “Who are you? Don’t get in the way of our investigation.”
“I’m the CEO of Cape International’s headquarters, Faye Yves,” Faye said loudly.
Timothy frowned. “I know of Cape’s big name, but that doesn’t really matter here. We’ve got to
investigate everyone according to the law. You can’t stop us.”
“Well, you’re not leaving with him! I’d like to talk to your superior!” Faye shouted.
Timothy raised his voice as well, “I don’t care who you get in touch with. We’re just investigating the
case as we normally do when we receive a report. If you insist on disrupting our investigation, we’ll take
you in
too.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Faye shouted back, unwilling to back down.
Just then, Wilbur raised a hand. “Stop arguing. The truth will prevail in the end. Do what you need to
do.”
His words calmed Faye down a good deal, but she was still angry. Her chest heaved as she glowered
at Shelby.
“It was him, right?” Timothy pointed at Wilbur, asking Shelby.
Shelby clutched the hem of her pajamas, nodding feebly.
“Take him away.” Timothy wasted no more time, leading Wilbur out of the house at once.
Faye watched as Wilbur was taken away, and the police siren was turned on. She picked up a mug.

smashing it onto the floor in fury.
The next second, she took out her phone and made a call to her secretary.
“Send a message to everyone in the PR department. Have them gathered up in the office’s meeting
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmroom within half an hour. Anyone who doesn’t show up on time will be fired immediately.”
After hanging up, she changed into office clothes at top speed before rushing off to the Cape
Consortium headquarters.
Half an hour later, Faye was walking through Cape’s meeting room doors.
Her secretary, as well as everyone from the PR department, were all waiting for her with nervous
expressions on their faces. They rarely had to work overtime at this company, let alone be called for
such an urgent meeting.
Faye cut off everyone’s greetings. She took a seat at the head of the table and said, “Our boss is being
framed, and was just taken away for investigation.”
“What?” The crowd was shocked. They all knew that the real boss of Cape Consortium spent a lot of
time with Miss Yves, and everyone had been gossiping about what the two were to each other.
What had happened for Wilbur to be framed and arrested? That was definitely a big deal to the
company.
Faye paid no mind to their shock and curiosity. “PR.”
“Yes.” The head of the PR department stood up at once
