George gestured for the guards to stop. Then, he admired the contorted expression on Madam Shaw’s face as he said, “What are we doing? We’re sending you to the police station, of course! Could it be that not only you lost your heart, but you’ve lost your hearing as well?”
Madam Shaw was livid with rage. “Wipe that smug smile off your face, George. Sending me to the police station? What have I done wrong that you have to send me to the police station? Even if you’re a marshal, you could not mess around with your power like this. Not to mention that you stepped down from your position last year!”
George had retired last year since he was at the expiration of his term of office last year. Even though everyone was still habitually calling him marshal, he did not have any power as the marshal anymore.
Therefore, this was the reason Madam Shaw dared to raise her voice at George. If George was still the marshal, she would definitely not dare to chase Susan away so brazenly.
In her vision, politics was something scary. Since George had already stepped down from his position, he did not have any power in his hands anymore. He had offended many people when he was serving his term of office, and there was a huge probability that many people were conspiring against him in the dark.
Since the Wrights could not be of use toward Julian, she did not have to treat them respectfully anymore. Thus, she brashly chased Susan away and brazenly broke into their mansion. After all, George could not do anything to her in his current state.
However, George suddenly laughed. “What have you done wrong? Entering the Wright mansion without permission, disturbing our life, making libelous statements on my family… Do you need more?”
Madam Shaw snorted coldly. “Trespassing the Wright mansion? What can you do with me even if I trespassed into your house? Do you think the police will take care of such a trivial matter?”
George looked at Madam Shaw as if he was looking at an idiot.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Madam Shaw raised her voice and shouted as she felt confused, being stared at by George.
“Tell her, Douglas. Tell her what’s the consequences of breaking into the Wright mansion,” George instructed calmly.
“Yes, sir,” one of the guards answered as he clicked his heels. Then, he said, “The Wright mansion is one of the Level 1 security zones in Canada. In specific circumstances, the guard of the Wright mansion has the authority to shoot and kill those who try to break in. Once the intruder is caught, and after the interrogation, the highest penalty is a death sentence and life imprisonment.”
‘Huh? Level 1 security zone? Shoot and kill? The death sentence, and lifetime imprisonment…?’
Madam Shaw was stunned, and she shouted, “This is impossible. You guys must be lying!”
Well, Madam Shaw could not be blamed. George had already resigned from his position, so there was no way he still had such power in his hands. She was certain that the guard must be bluffing.
George did not want to explain to Madam Shaw anymore. He waved his hand as a cold glint appeared in the depth of his eyes. “Alright, send her to the Public Security Bureau. Ask the people over there to interrogate her properly. In my opinion, the death sentence is not needed, and if possible, just give her life imprisonment. If they ask anything, just say it’s my idea.”
“Yes, sir,” the guards answered. After that, they dragged Madam Shaw out of the mansion.
Looking at how calm George was, Madam Shaw suddenly felt nervous. She had a strong feeling that he was not bluffing at all.
“Let go of me… Let me go!” Madam Shaw struggled with all her might but to no avail. Very soon, all of them had arrived at the gate.
There was a police car waiting in front of the gate. The guards tried to stuff Madam Shaw into the car, while George and Luna watched on coldly from the side.
Suddenly, Madam Shaw’s eyes glowed, and she shouted toward the back of the guards, “Susan, Susan, save me!”
George and Luna turned toward the direction where Madam Shaw shouted at and saw Susan had returned.
They did not know that she would return so soon.
“Susie, why are you back so soon?” Luna asked.
Susan raised her brow and offered Madam a grin. “Why are you bringing that up at this moment, Madam Shaw? Julian is no longer my husband, and whether or not you are his mother is none of my concern. Alright, Douglas, take her away. Her voice is making my ears ring and my head hurt.”
She had been tolerating Madam Shaw because she was Julian’s mother, and Julian was her husband. However, since she had forced Julian to divorce her, then she was merely a stranger to her right now. Therefore, as a stranger, she was no longer worthy of her tolerance.
“Susie!” George was happy to see Susan be so decisive. He feared that she might go soft on Madam Shaw, but it seemed to him that his concern was totally uncalled for. Susan was tougher than he originally imagined.
Madam Shaw was stunned. She had gotten used to treating Susan like a doormat, and to be honest, she was kind of surprised to see Susan be so cold to her.
Seizing the chance while she was in a trance, the guard pushed her into the car.
The engine was ignited soon after, and Madam Shaw finally snapped herself back to reality. Just when she was about to shout again, the guard took a cloth and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Mmmhmm.” Madam Shaw had never been treated like this before, and she continued to struggle with all her might.
However, no one was going to put it up with her inside the car. Greatly annoyed, the guard took a rope and tied her up.
This time, Madam Shaw could not even move a single finger anymore.
The anger in her eyes was growing with every passing second. She did not expect Susan to treat her like this, and she vowed that she would give her some lessons after she got out of there.
However, on second thought, Susan had done her a big favor. She was certain that Julian would not forgive her for treating his mother in this way.
Regardless of Madam Shaw’s rage, there was nothing she could do right now. Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as the Public Security Bureau grew near in her eyes.
