Chapter 983 The police officers suddenly broke in and restricted Clarence‘s hands with cuffs, shocking
everyone. Clarence was the head of the Willis family, so he held a high status in Cloud City. Mr.
Thompson politely said, “Mr. Willis, we just want to invite you for a cup of tea and have you cooperate
with our investigation. Once we‘re done, we‘ll let you go, of course.”
“Mr. Thompson, we can talk nicely.” Mdm. Willis quickly walked over. “If there‘s anything you‘d like to
investigate, the Willis family will try its best to cooperate. You don‘t have to take him back to the police
station for a chat, do you?”
Going to the police station would ruin his reputation.
If the reputation of the Willis family head was ruined, the Willis family‘s status in Cloud City would also
become lower.
Mr. Thompson lowered his voice. “Mdm. Willis, I‘d like to do you a favor as well, but... the one who‘s
suffered a loss is a bigwig from Sea City. My superior told me that I have to investigate this incident
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthoroughly. But don‘t worry. If the problem isn‘t serious, Mr. Willis will be back very soon.”
Mr. Thompson waved, and two young police officers had their grip on Clarence while they walked out.
Clarence stopped walking for a moment and calmly said, “This project is a collaboration between the
Finnian, Strickland, and Lamb families. Mom, go ahead and contact them first.”
After he spoke, the officers brought him into the police car.
Mdm. Willis was shaken. “Hasn‘t this project been going well? Why is there suddenly a problem? What
happened?” She instantly grabbed Mrs. Finnian‘s hand. “Finnian Corporation is this project’s biggest
shareholder. Why is Finnian Corporation allowed to stay out of this?”
Mrs. Finnian instantly moved out of her grasp. “Mr. Willis is just cooperating with the investigation.
Mdm. Willis, it‘s better not to panic. Besides, the banquet is ending, so we‘ll take our leave first.”
Once Mrs. Finnian left, other guests also left.
The spacious banquet hall instantly became quiet.
Kendry held his phone and walked in. “I asked around earlier. The project‘s issue happened at 2:00
am.
“The other three families work together to push the blame on the Willis family. Over the night, they
fabricated evidence, which directly implicated Willis Corporation.” His expression was cold and
profound. “The wind power project‘s wastewater discharge had already been approved by the
government, but in the middle of last night, someone found the water polluted. Plus, all the fishes and
shrimps were dead, so all of them blamed it on this project.” Jada frowned and said, “The site chosen
for the sewage discharge is a deserted area of the sea. Even if it was truly polluted, the case would not
be filed so quickly, right?“,
“At 1:00 am, a big man from Sea City acquired that deserted sea area,” Kendry said. “It‘s also the
reason why the police dare not neglect this case. They just rushed over to arrest Clarence within twelve
hours after the incident.”
“What should we do now?” Hailey was extremely worried. “Mom, you have to help Clarence. If he‘s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmjailed, the Willis family is doomed!”
“Look at yourself. Do you look like the woman of the house?” Mdm. Willis said. “The bigwig from Sea
City must have caused this. As long as we‘re able to meet the bigwig and explain things clearly, we can
still salvage the situation.”
“Even if the water is really polluted, the four families should bear responsibility together. Why have they
put all the blame on us?” Brady winced his teeth and said, “Grandma, I‘ll contact my friends and see
who can reach that bigwig from Sea City.”
The Willis family was extremely worried, and every member made calls to look for help.
Adeena pursed her lips.
Something was happening in the Willis family. If she moved out at this time, she would appear really
ungrateful.
Luckily, Brady managed to contact a friend. That friend happened to be receiving the bigwig from Sea
City, so Brady and Kendry immediately rushed over.
