I Returned to the Day He Brought His First Love Home Chapter 54: Questioned
When the police car arrived at the factory, the troublemakers downstairs were still completely bewildered.
They didn’t understand how such a trivial matter had even gotten the police involved.
The officers themselves were a bit bewildered when they got the call.
When they arrived and saw a crowd of over twenty people gathered there, not working and causing a scene, their expressions imdiately hardened.
"Who put you up to causing trouble here? Do you realize you’re breaking the law?" one of the older officers stepped forward and demanded coldly.
None of them had ever been in a situation like this, and they panicked instantly.
One of them pointed at gan Aldridge and blurted out, "Officer, it wasn’t our idea! It was her! All her! She’s the one who told us Accountant Winslow set up so ’Discipline Committee’ that would get paid by deducting money from our wages. We just got worked up and ca to protest to the factory manager."
"It’s working hours right now. Do you have any idea what a loss this is causing the factory? Are you the ringleader?" The older officer, Kevin Aldridge, shot gan Aldridge a cold glance and questioned her in a harsh tone.
gan Aldridge’s face went white, and she waved her hands frantically in denial. "No, it wasn’t ! Not ! Officer, I’m innocent! They decided to cause trouble themselves, and they’re the ones who stopped working. I was forced into this!"
"That’s bullshit, gan Aldridge! Weren’t you the one who kept telling us that Accountant Winslow was fooling around with the n in the workshop? Weren’t you the one who said she created two new positions just to squeeze us out and use our wages to pay them?"
"That’s right, Officer! She instigated the whole thing! We really didn’t an any harm."
Grace Winslow and the others were on the second floor looking down, watching the dog-eat-dog scene unfold.
When the chaos had reached its peak, Rachel Rhodes suddenly shouted, "Accountant Winslow, please don’t do anything rash! We’ve already investigated everything! It was gan Aldridge! She wanted to collect a matchmaking fee by setting you up with Pockface from the workshop, but you refused! She flew into a rage from the sha and started spreading these rumors to slander you!"
"The factory won’t let soone like that get away with it! Please, whatever you do, don’t jump!"
Only then did Kevin Aldridge and the others notice the situation on the floor above.
The two officers panicked.
Before Kevin Aldridge could even react, a dark figure shot past them and bolted up the stairs.
Kevin Aldridge froze for a mont, exchanging a glance with the junior officer beside him.
"I think that’s the man from the military," the junior officer whispered.
Kevin Aldridge, getting the picture, detained gan Aldridge first.
gan Aldridge wailed hysterically, screaming that she was innocent and had been wronged.
anwhile, Grace Winslow was feigning a jump.
She had it all planned out: when she made her fake jump, Rachel Rhodes and Gina Thorne would grab her together and pull her back to safety.
But before Rachel and the others could react, a dark figure rushed up with incredible speed, wrapped an arm around Grace Winslow’s waist, and lifted her straight off the railing.
Grace Winslow: "?"
The mont she was set down, Grace Winslow turned her head and was t with a pair of eyes filled with fury.
Before she could speak, Archer Rhys’s furious voice rang in her ear, "What on earth could be so bad that you have to solve it by hurting yourself?"
"Did you even stop to think about your parents and brothers at ho?"
Grace Winslow imdiately felt a pang of guilt.
"Um, it’s not what you think, I..."
"Then what is it? Do you realize that even if a jump from here didn’t kill you, you’d end up disabled at the very least? You’re the one who was always telling to cherish my body, that it’s a gift from our parents that we can’t harm. Is this you practicing what you preach?"
Grace Winslow: "..."
’When did I ever say sothing like that?’
