Chapter 497: 175: Don’t be afraid, I’ll co to take you ho_6
During all this, Rachel Barton had been standing behind Viola Thompson.
Then Beatrice Black said, “I’m your mother! The command of parents and the bond of marriage, whoever I tell you to marry, you should marry! I’ve already received the bride price! If you want to leave, you have to co up with half a million dollars as compensation for Conn!”
“Plus ntal damages!” added Dalton Tavas. “Otherwise, you’ll never get out of the Mayhew family’s gate!”
“1 million dollars! You have to compensate my family for 1 million dollars!”
At that mont.
There was a commotion outside the door.
“The village chief!”
“The village chief is here!”
Hearing this, Dalton Tavas and Zachary Mayhew breathed a sigh of relief.
The village chief’s surna was also Mayhew.
He was from the sa family.
At this ti, the village chief would definitely speak for their family.
The villagers made way for the chief.
“Grandpa Mayhew!”
Zachary Mayhew looked at the village chief.
Dalton Tavas and Jimmy Mayhew also looked at him with great concern, “Uncle.”
Thinking that the village chief would definitely vindicate them, they didn’t expect the village chief to walk respectfully to Terrence Lentz’s side and say with a smile, “Sorry, Mr. Lentz, for shocking you!”
Terrence Lentz slightly frowned, “You are the village chief here?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” the village chief nodded repeatedly, “Mr. Lentz, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter today.”
Seeing this scene.
The Mayhew family and the villagers present were dumbfounded.
Who is this man?
Why is the village chief in such a panic around him?
It is worth noting that in their eyes, the village chief was like a god.
Terrence Lentz pursed his thin lips, not saying anything.
He was angry and imposing.
The village chief was very anxious at heart.
He didn’t understand why this inconsequential small village had attracted such a big shot.
How to end this situation now!
The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Frightened, his legs trembled.
Then, the village chief looked at Zachary Mayhew and scolded him righteously, “Zachary Mayhew! Do you know that your behavior has already involved human trafficking and illegal detention? This is a cri!”
After saying this, the village chief pointed at Beatrice Black and Gregory Diet, “You two! You can’t escape either! Get ready to go to jail!”
Jail?
Beatrice Black looked at the village chief, “How is my daughter’s marriage a cri? Which family in our village doesn’t marry off their daughters? Are all of them criminals?”
In Beatrice Black’s view, this was a perfectly ordinary matter.
Rachel Barton was her daughter.
Whoever she wanted Rachel to marry, Rachel should marry!
How much bride price she wanted to receive, she would receive!
After all, if it weren’t for her, Rachel wouldn’t exist.
All this was heaven-ordained!
“Marrying off your daughter? Did you get your daughter’s consent?” the village chief was very angry, “Your daughter didn’t agree, and that’s a cri! This is lawless!”
At this mont, Rachel Barton roared, “You are not my parents! I don’t have parents like you! You are beasts! You are just beasts!”
“I am your mother, and without , there would be no you! You think you can just disown ? Where on earth is there such a thing!” said Beatrice Black, as she proceeded to grab and pull Rachel Barton. “You little bitch, now you don’t even listen to , I see you just need a beating!”
“Enough!” The village chief directly waved Beatrice Black away at this mont, “I’m still here! If I’m not here, do you have any regard for the law at all?”
The village chief was a very pragmatic man.
Of course, he knew who was standing in front of Rachel.
If he angered this important person at this ti, he would really be in trouble.
Beatrice Black was pushed off balance by the village chief, and coming back to her senses, she directly lay on the floor and started to throw a tantrum, “He hit ! The village chief hit ! I don’t want to live anymore! What’s the point of living!”
“Woo-woo!”
At the sa ti, an urgent siren sounded in the air.
Then, several uniform clad policen entered one after another.
The village chief went up to them imdiately, “Hello police officers, I am the village chief of Olsand Village, and I called the police. We have people in our village suspected of human trafficking and illegal detention.”
When he realized the seriousness of the matter, the village chief imdiately called the police.
As soon as the words were spoken, Dalton Tavas began to display her shrewish skills, crying and wailing, “Oh, my God! Oh, my mom! It’s a miscarriage of justice! We’ve paid the bride price and made efforts, how can it be called human trafficking? Police officers, they are trying to snatch away our newlywed daughter-in-law. You must bring justice for us!”
“They are the ones trafficking people! Police officers, you must eradicate evil and promote good! Be on the side of the people!”
Beatrice Black and Gregory Diet weren’t panicking at all.
They were just marrying off their daughter normally, which didn’t count as human trafficking.
Beatrice Black threw herself onto the police officer with tears and snot running down her face, “Heavenly grandpa, I’m my daughter’s biological mother; we didn’t do anything illegal. As a mother, don’t I even have the right to decide who my daughter marries?”
The police officer glanced at Beatrice Black, “Let’s all go to the police station.”
Go to the police station?
Now Beatrice Black was unhappy.
She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should she go to the police station?
But whether she goes or not is not up to her.
For uncooperative people, the police simply showed their handcuffs.
Most of the villagers present were taken to the police station.
At the police station.
Jimmy Mayhew, Dalton Tavas, and Zachary Mayhew confessed without hesitation to using half a million dollars to ‘marry’ Rachel Barton and forcibly locking her up in their house.
Because in their eyes, these were all normal things.
Since they had spent money, Rachel was their daughter-in-law.
Beating, scolding, or locking Rachel up were all part of their family affair.
The police had no right to interfere.
After he finished speaking, Zachary Mayhew stood up from the chair in the interrogation room and said confidently, “When can I go ho?”
The police officer conducting the interrogation was infuriated and slapped the table, “Go back! You still want to go back! Do you know that you’ve broken the law? You’re suspected of human trafficking, illegal detention, and assault! This will be enough to imprison you for a lifeti!”
Zachary Mayhew gave the officer an arrogant glance, “Don’t try to scare with breaking the law. Sleeping with my own wife, what law is that? Which law stipulates that I can’t sleep with my wife? And which law stipulates that I can’t lock my wife up at ho? She’s my wife; I can lock her up for as long as I want! What does it have to do with you? Don’t bully because I don’t understand, hitting my wife at most counts as dostic violence!”
Zachary Mayhew wasn’t very educated, having dropped out of school after elentary school, and had a shallow understanding of the law.
His thinking was still stuck in the past.
Well, it’s the countryside.
Which couple doesn’t fight in a rural village?
Watching this, if it weren’t for the regulations of the police station, the officer in charge of the interrogation would have wanted to punch Zachary Mayhew.
He was furious!
How could there be such scum in the world!
Beatrice Black and Gregory Diet were also clamoring to go ho.
Especially Beatrice Black.
“My son is waiting for to cook for him at ho, if he starves to death, who will take responsibility!”
