Randall pulled over next to me on the way down, but I didn’t stop. I’m curious what Archer means. And this is what Archer is saying? Is he frightening me? I marched with hard feet towards the cops, who were still unable to enter since the guard refused to let them in.
When Randall’s car door rang, the police leaning on their service looked to us. As he stood up, he straightened up. Randall then appeared as I was encircled by three police officers. The man standing against the car earlier handed me a white envelope.
“Are you Mrs. Winter Harris Adams? ”
“Yes. Why?” I tore the envelope then read at the paper inside and my eyes widened. I was scared of what was written. This is an Affidavit of Criminal Case Complain and Arrest Warrant. What madness had entered Archer’s brain again?
“Are you crazy?! I probably disappeared for years! And you suddenly issued me an Arrest Warrant without enough evidence!” I shouted because a policeman was trying to touch me, so Randall ran to stop the man. He didn’t push him.
“Sir, how did you file a warrant against her?” Randall was now protecting me as I hugged him for fear of being caught by the police. I know nothing written about fund theft for employees and investment! Why would I do that?! I didn’t even use my bank accounts to transfer the money there!
“All the evidence has been seen. From your parent’s account to you and Archer Williams himself gave testimony about it which was supported by Director Park, a longtime employee of your company. If you still want to hear everything, come with me to the precinct first.” After the man said that, the police handcuffed me with him while another entered to drive.
Randall pulled away from me as I was about to bend over and get into the car. He signaled to me that he would follow. What’s happening? Why is this happening to us? I still thought I could help Randall by not accepting the termination of the contract but it seems like it only got worse.
When we got to the precinct, I was welcomed with a swarm of camera lights, and I simply bowed down because they were so sick! Randall came not long after, and the media flocked to him, but it appears that he has already contacted people who can assist him, as security guards prevented the access of the media and press. They question him, but he calmly marches straight towards me. I was relieved since I knew he was here with me.
When we sat down the officer I talked to when I came here with Alex spoke to me. Now he laughs as he looks at us. This handcuff only makes my head heat up.
“It looks like you have a case to pay more attention to than to open your parent’s case.” He shook his head and his face was serious. He did not seem to have any bad intentions in what he said. He type on the computer so I lost my attention to him.
I looked outside constantly at the powerful questions that grabbed everyone’s attention. Why don’t they want to get rid of these presses? It only adds to the mess. Archer and Helena stop because of a question from the woman holding the recorder.
“Do you admit what you’re accusing your stepsister of? That she stole the company’s funds, causing its stock to fall somewhat two years ago?” The woman aimed the recorder at him, and I wanted to storm outside because of what Archer said if this officer hadn’t detained me.
“I will not tolerate what is wrong so I want my sister to change because even if we have a misunderstanding, I want her to correct what is improper,” Archer remarked, staring at the camera as if what he said was real and you would believe him.
As soon as he stepped inside, I rushed at him and stepped on him with all my might. He avoided that kick of mine. Randall didn’t stop me because of the speed of my walk. How can he tell me this?! He has no proof! I don’t know how he got the information! There was a loud whisper, and the camera clicked.
“YOU! WHAT KIND OF POLICEMAN ARE YOU THAT EVEN THE MEDIA AND PRESS CAN GET IN?!” I didn’t even hesitate, I look at the police who did anything but stop my harassment and not even the spread of the paparazzi here!
Archer looked at the cameras again. “You see. She is so stubborn that when things are explained to her she gets angry and refuses to listen. So I hope whoever can watch it, cut off their horns as soon as possible.”
When he said that, the police dismissed the media. Archer turned around. Without these handcuffs, his head might have been removed from the strong slap I would inflict on him. Randall took me by the arm to calm me down. Archer also looked at him and then smiled as if he had won.
“I will not withdraw your case. It would be better if I was the only one to run the company because I can say that the company is in the right hands- “Even before he finished what he was saying, a fist immediately landed on his cheek.
With the force of the blow, Archer fell to the floor, when he lifted his face there was blood on his sharp nose. Randall was immediately apprehended by the police.
Archer stood up with angry eyes. He wiped his nose and then hoping to retaliate against Randall, the police suddenly stopped him so he could not retail. Helena looks at me.
“If you don’t stop, I’ll put you two on the railing.” The man in the leather jacket stood up. He walked into the middle of Archer and Randall then looked at them to the left. He put his hand in the leather pocket then continued. “Mr. Williams, your part is over, why are you still here? We received your email that you will not withdraw the case as a representative of Phoenix Corporation so why are you still here?”
Archer could not answer. Next, he looked at Randall. “You, Mister. Isn’t your wife the accused? Why not hire a lawyer to defend your spouse? I heard you still have an ongoing issue. Instead of fighting him, take care of your wife’s problem. Or finish your issues first before you make a new one.” The officer scolded the two before returning to the post.
I was completely weak and in tears when I heard the officer’s order.
“Put her in jail.”
