“We suspect you have something to do with a commercial crime. Please come with us!" The officer who asked the question earlier said with a severe expression.
"Commercial crime?" Lily frowned as she did not understand what was happening. "Why? Did the Perfumers’ Society accuse me of a commercial crime?" ‘If so, that would be funny.” The officer shook his head. "It's not the Perfumers’ Society. The Tanner Corporation accused you of conspiring with their manager, Mr. Damian Tanner, to add prohibited ingredients to their perfumes for personal gain. You must cooperate with us for the investigation." The officers were polite to her. Typically, the police would not tell their suspects the reason and take them away to the station first.
Lily was also surprised. "Who? Tanner, who?" She did not even remember the name well. ‘Mr. Tanner? | wonder who that is.” "Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation." The officer showed his credentials and did not intend to say more.

"Okay, I'll go with you." She also wanted to find out what was going on.
Olivia quickly stopped her. "Wait a minute! We don't even know who Mr. Tanner is. Let alone colluding with him.
It's their slander. How can you arrest someone randomly!" "It's not up to you to decide. We must investigate first. If you interfere again, you will obstruct police duty!" the officer said to Olivia.
"B-But..." Olivia was unconvinced and wanted to explain more, but Lily stopped her. "It's okay. I'm just going to find out the situation with them. I'd also like to know how and why the Tanners pinned whatever it is on me." It was funny to think about it. Did Lily conspire with the Tanner Corporation? Besides minor interactions with Arianna, Eloise, and Nathaniel, Lily did not know anyone else, so what kind of conspiracy were they talking about? How could they frame her without any evidence? "It's okay!" Shaking her head to appease Olivia, Lily turned and left with the police.
Olivia's mind was a mess as she watched the police car leave. She thought about it and turned around to call Edward, "Edward, something happened! The police have taken Lily away!” Joseph rushed into Arianna's office again and smacked his desk with both hands. Several sheets of paper flew off the desk. He was so angry that he did not even care to close the door. He glared at Arianna and said, "This is the idea you mentioned? You want your brother to die, don’t you?!” Initially, he thought letting the perfumer, Lily, and La Beauté Group take the blame would be the best result.
However, he never thought it would still involve his precious son.

The police had sent someone to spread the word and wanted to arrest Damian. Only then did he know that the company did not only report Lily but also Damian. He was stunned, as he never thought Damian would still be involved in this mess. Ultimately, Joseph was still unable to protect his son.
Since Arianna filed the case under the company’s name, they should have looked for her.
Many things happened recently. Joseph felt that his brain could not function well and could not figure out what to do. He knew everything would be over if Damian were involved in a mess like this.
