Chapter 853 In It Together

Smiling shyly, Summer said, “I was ill recently, and Arnold didn’t tell me when he found

you. It was rather remiss of me, so consider this my way of making amends.”

Josie’s gaze fell on her wrist. The bandages had not been removed. She came to her

senses quite quickly. Realizing that wallowing in despair does no good, she’s out and

about in no time.

The police chief froze at the mention of Arnold, and his smile stiffened slightly. “I couldn’t

carry out the favor Arnold asked of me because of certain reasons I can’t reveal. I hope

you and your husband won’t hold it against me.”

Summer did not seem upset at all. “That’s just part of your job. There’s no need to

apologize. You watched me grow up. Do you think Arnold is someone reliable?”

Upon hearing her question, the police chief promptly nodded. “Of course. He’s

responsible, and everyone in Wavery knows how he treats you.”

“He has been good to me, so I want to return the favor. I just feel sorry for him because he

doesn’t have many family members around him. My family is among the few he can

actually talk to. If it were anyone else, I doubt they’d be able to bear having their father

locked up for over a decade, don’t you think?” she replied, showing no sign of hostility.

The police chief’s forehead was already drenched in cold sweat. Summer had moved out

of the Olsen Residence in protest and was now complaining that Edward’s sentence was

too harsh, pressuring him at every turn.

“This… His father has been charged with a serious crime, and his bail application was

denied. There’s nothing I can do about it,” the police chief explained.

“I suppose that’s just the way things are. However, the lax management in Wavery has

meant that someone that

up getting beaten to such a state. It was a horrifying sight. As those closest to him, we’re

not very confident in the prison system…” It appeared she understood that she and Arnold

were in it together, for better or worse. Hence, she had to take care of the matter for him.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Those who attacked Edward have been slapped with

additional charges. They’re also being kept separate. Such an incident won’t happen

again.”

“Can you guarantee that? Can you promise no one will harm him again?” she pressed.

He hesitated, indicating that the incident was presumably no coincidence.

Her lips curved into a smile. “It seems that’s not possible. Thanksgiving is just around the

corner. What harm would there be in letting him out to gather with family?”

The police chief felt cornered. If he did not allow it, it would make him appear heartless,

and he would be leaving the Olsens with nothing. Caught in a dilemma, he was

momentarily at a loss for words.

“I heard you’re here today for a meeting about an investment project. Are you so focused

on foreign investors that you don’t care about the local businesses in Wavery?” Summer

remarked while raising her head and glancing in the direction of the private room, using

her family to pressure him.

Josie furrowed her brows. At that moment, Morgan moved to stand next to her without

making a sound. “It seems Ms. Olsen is about to get what she wants.”

She turned to him, thinking otherwise. “Not necessarily

Letting out a sneer, she descended the stairs and raised her voice to say, “Ms. Olsen is

right. Thanksgiving is a time for reunion. Everyone looks forward to gathering with their

families, not just you.”

Her voice captured everyone’s attention.

Summer’s expression shifted as she watched Josie walk over with a smile on her lips.

“I’ve heard vague rumors about Mr. Carter’s father’s case. It was a financial crime, wasn’t

it?” Josie asked, aiming her question at the police chief.

“Er, yes.”

“Well, it’s not as it it’s a major crime like murder or arson. Why can’t he be released on

bail?”

Her tone was patient and persuasive, and the police chief answered, “His crime… is quite

serious.”

“How serious?”

“Profiting from clandestine dealings in the stock market, making off with billions in

assets.”
