Chapter 299 - Grandpa

Beverly was shocked, so she didn't say anything.

Elsie asked anxiously, "What happened, Mom?"

In the ward, there were four people, an old man leaning on a walking stick, two girls about eighteen, and Beverly. It was easy to tell who is Beverly, so the policemen directly walked to her and asked, "Are you Beverly?"

Beverly took a step back and answered nervously, "Yes, I am. But who are you?"

Obviously, they are policemen. But Beverly wondered why the policemen would come here for her?

At this moment, Beverly was filled with confusion, unease and fear.

A policeman ordered, "You need to come with us." Then he handcuffed Beverly.

Beverly dodged anxiously and shouted at the policemen, "Wait a minute! Why should I be arrested?"

A policeman answered, "Someone called the police and said that you misappropriated a large amount of company's loan. So we will bring you to the police station for interrogation."

Beverly froze with horror and screamed, "Who called the police?"

Beverly looked at Emily and thought, 'It couldn't be Emily who called the police. Could it be Eliot?'

Just as Beverly was guessing who called the police, there was a sound of walking stick beating on the ground, which also beat on Beverly's heart. Matthew stood up calmly and said in a deep and vigorous voice, "It's me."

Beverly immediately explained, "Mr. Matthew, did you misunderstand me? I didn't do that. I..." Beverly's mind suddenly went blank. She only thought that Matthew blamed her for it, but she forgot the most serious problem. Beverly continued, "I have no relationship with Daniel."

Matthew stopped Beverly before she finished speaking. He angrily struck the floor with his walking stick and then pointed it at Beverly, shouting at her, "Don't disgust me with such things!"

Standing by the ward bed and watching the policemen handcuff Beverly, Elsie turned pale and couldn't move a single step. She was worried that she would be implicated, so she hurriedly lowered her head when Beverly looked at her.

The policeman escorted Beverly out and said, "Let's go. Don't waste our time."

Beverly finally understood Matthew's meaning, so she hurriedly explained, "Mr. Matthew, I'm making an investment. I've made quite a bit of money. Please believe me." Beverly continued to beg Matthew.

Matthew made a gesture to the police. He turned to Beverly and said, "Alright, I will believe you as long as you transfer the money back now."

Beverly hesitated for a while.

Beverly looked embarrassed at this moment. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "OK, I will make a call."

But she still couldn't get through Christy's phone. Beverly did not dare to call her again, so she decided to call Daniel. As long as Daniel helped her this time, Beverly would repay him in the future.

However, Daniel did not answer either. Beverly did not give up and continued to dial the number.

Matthew sneered, "Do you want to tell me that you were cheated? My son is so foolish that he is cheated by you. But that doesn't mean you can fool me!"

Although Matthew was old, he was still domineering. He stared at Beverly with threat and distrust in his eyes, like the eyes of a dying tiger eager to devour the people outside the iron fence.

Beverly was horrified by this gaze and shrank back in fear, "Mr. Matthew, trust me, please!"

However, Matthew stopped her and didn't give her the chance to finish her words. Mr. Matthew waved to the police and said, "Officer, please take her away right away!"

Elsie stood by the bed and trembled violently.

Elsie wanted to say something for Beverly, but Elsie knew that whatever she said, her grandfather would not listen. She just walked to the door and watched Beverly be taken away by the police.

Beverly didn't dare to let others in the hospital know what happened, so she silently followed the police out. The two policemen covered her handcuffs with their jackets. Along the way out, Beverly felt that everyone seemed to laugh at her. So she lowered her head.

Shame and anger ignited in Beverly heart, driving her crazy. When Beverly was brought to the police station, she was so uneasy that she forgot the thing in her pocket.

In the ward, Matthew and Elsie lowered their heads and kept silent, lost in their thoughts. Emily looked calmly in the direction of the door, and her index finger tapped on her knee lightly.

Obviously, Emily was waiting for somebody.

Soon, Eliot arrived with two bags of food in his hands. He pushed open the door and saw Matthew sitting there angrily. Eliot greeted him, "Hi, Grandpa."

Matthew glanced at Eliot and answered perfunctorily, "Hi."

Elsie curled her lips in grievance at the sight of Eliot. At this moment, Eliot noticed that Beverly was not there. He looked at Elsie and then handed Elsie and Emily the lunch packed in the bag. Eliot also handed his lunch to Matthew. There was still one left in the bag, which was for Beverly.

Since Beverly wasn't in the room, Eliot put her lunch on the table and walked to Elsie. Eliot thought that Elsie was worried that she wasn't Maury's biological daughter, so he gently touched her head to comfort her.

But Elsie whispered, "Mom was taken away by the police."

Eliot shrieked in surprise, "What?"

Elsie glanced at Matthew in fear, and then whispered, "She was taken away because of the money." Elsie dared not to continue.

Elsie talked about the money in a low voice, but Matthew still heard it. "Why do you know about the money? Does this family belong the Brooks', instead of us?"

Elsie turned pale and didn't dare to say anything.

Eliot felt that Matthew also blamed him. So he did not refute, either.

Matthew wanted to test if Elsie knew about the money, but he hadn't thought that his grandson also knew it. Matthew used to trust Eliot, but now he was furious. So he shouted at Eliot, "You're stupid! The company will be handed over to you! How can you do that!"

Matthew paused and looked at Eliot and Elsie in disbelief. His fingers pointed at them and trembled slightly, "You two really disappointed me."

Elsie did not understand, but she could feel Eliot was shocked at Matthew's accusation.

Seeing Eliot's reaction, Matthew was shocked. He stared at Eliot with confusion, then turned to Elsie. Finally, he turned his gaze to Emily. At this moment, Matthew felt dizzy and suddenly staggered.

Only Emily was close to Matthew, so she stretched out her hands to support him. Matthew had difficulty in breathing and it took Emily a while to take Matthew back to his chair. Then, Matthew called his lawyer with his trembling hands and said in a weak voice, "Come to the City Hospital."

Matthew's assistant also rushed back from outside at this time. Behind him were Harold and a woman. When they entered the room, Eliot recognized that this woman was Daniel's wife, who had made trouble at the door of the suite on the top floor not long ago.

As soon as Lily entered, she asked, "When will you release my husband?"
