Chapter 1090 The Arrest

For some reason, Colton's promise warmed Nicole's heart.

She lowered her eyes and did not say anything.

As the wedding date grew closer, Colton eventually sent Nicole back to Gould Residence. After thekidnapping and injury dealt to Rita, the family was much more cautious now.

They hired professional bodyguards to patrol the entire residence at all times. All of that was just tokeep Nicole safe.

The night before the wedding, a group of policemen suddenly knocked on the door of GouldResidence. Immediately, they marched into the house. When they spotted Rita, the leader of the groupeven respectfully greeted her.

"Old Mrs. Gould," he called out.

She frowned in confusion when she saw them march into the house. "What is going on, CaptainTyson? Why are you here with a group of men? Did a criminal sneak into my home?"

She had just been discharged from the hospital. Due to her wound, her face looked unusually eeriewhen it darkened.

The Goulds were one of the most powerful families in the country who were extremely well connected.Hence, Derrick Tyson, the man known as Captain Tyson, remained respectful in his reply.

"Old Mrs. Gould, we have found a lead to your granddaughter's kidnapping and your assault."

"Is that why you're here with your men? Are you here to explain what happened?" she asked, stillfrowning.

After observing the look on her face, he smiled and answered, "We captured a woman named QueenieAnderson who was one of the leaders. Her testimony and the evidence she provided proved that therewas a mastermind behind everything. That person is your granddaughter, Evelyn Wrenn."

Rita's face immediately fell as her hands clenched into fists from where they rested on her knees.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Derrick in thought for a few long seconds before saying in a darkvoice, "You mean to say Evelyn was behind this whole incident?"

He did not give her a clear answer and replied, "We only have Queenie's testimony right now, so I can'tcome to a proper conclusion just yet. All I ask is that Miss Wrenn comes with us so that we may get tothe bottom of this. We are here to notify you beforehand, after all."

When she thought about how Evelyn had been behind everything, she was so angry that her cheeksturned red and her breaths started coming out in harsh pants. As her hands clutched at the nearbyrailing for support, the butler hurried over to help her regain her calm.

"Calm down, Madam. You have just recovered from a serious injury. The doctor said to avoid gettingagitated," he said.

She eventually caught her breath. After thumping her chest a few times, she snapped out, "Go get her.Don't tell her what's going on. If she is truly the culprit behind this, just follow the usual procedure. Youdo not have to worry about me!"

She was beyond herself with fury. She had lost all love for Evelyn when she knew that Evelyn hadschemed to cause Nicole's miscarriage. After learning that Evelyn nearly killed Rita in a scheme to hurtNicole as well, there was no way for Rita to ignore the crime.

"Thank you, Old Mrs. Gould," Derrick said with a smile.

She dismissively waved her hand and coldly barked out, "Handle this according to the usual procedure.If she is truly the mastermind behind this, she will no longer have a place in the Gould Family!"

He heaved a sigh of relief upon receiving her permission. It was good that they would not be making anenemy of the Goulds.

He followed the butler up the stairs. When Nicole heard the commotion, she poked her head out to replacea group of policemen marching up the stairs. "Miss Nicole," the butler respectfully called out when hespotted her.

After observing the group for a few moments, she roughly knew what was going on. She smiled andnodded in greeting. "Thanks for your hard work."

She did not linger any longer and promptly walked away after saying that.
