Why did she not be nicer to her adopted son? He was such a good child. Since childhood, he had been smart, studious, and never let others be worried about him. Also, he cared for his parents and had never competed and fought for the family's properties. How great he was! Why did the Payne family repeatedly harm their adopted son? They have shot themselves i n the foot at that moment! They deserved i t! It served them right!
Vireo's adoptive mother never resisted anymore. The Payne sisters had also turned to jelly like soft and rotten tomatoes, and they were not even able to stand up anymore. At that moment, Lucius was the one who still had a little bit of courage and was able to hold himself up.
However, no matter how courageous he was, it was also of no help. The police would never let them go. "Mister Lucius Payne, right? Please come with us to the police station together with your entire family."
Lucius continuously retreated. "No, no, no. I'm already so old. I can’t go to prison. I can't go to prison."
"Criminals can be of any age, Mister Payne! " said the police officer as he ridiculed him.
Lucius shuddered. "I would like to know how many years I will get if found guilty of abduction?"
"I don’t know! That's determined by the court. I'm only in charge of catching the people! However, I have to tell you guys something. If you had harmed and killed someone, then it's definitely the death sentence!" the police officer answered truthfully.
"No..." Lucius sat on the ground dejectedly.
"Dad!" Chloe shouted miserably.
At that moment, Vireo was covered in tears. It was impossible to say that Vireo was not emotionally affected, but he also knew that he could not be affected. He calmed himself down and said decisively, "I f you've broken the law, pleading with anyone for mercy would not help your case.
Lucius, who had no way out anymore, suddenly grabbed Vireo viciously. "But you're not dead! You were indeed raised by us. Aren't you afraid of being punished by
God for being so heartless?"
"You said that my son is heartless! You bought my child back then, and you caused me to miserably search for my son for the rest of my life. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing so?" A cold voice could be heard coming from behind him.
