Chapter 375 - Aunt Felice

**

"Something goes wrong!"

When Jaquan received Collin's phone call and heard what he said, his heart skipped a beat.

"Stony called me just now and said that Arabella had gone to see his mother. Before he could say something more, I heard a siren. Then, Stony suddenly hung up. After I called back, a woman told me that Emma had been arrested."

"What?" Jaquan abruptly stood up and said, "Did Arabella call the police?"

Jaquan immediately took his coat and walked out of the office. "Wait for me. I'll have a talk with Ferne first."

"Alright, it's up to you." Collin said, "I may offer any help. I'll go to the police station later."

"Okay." Before hanging up, Jaquan suddenly remembered something. He stopped and said, "Wait a moment. Where's Stony?"

...

Jaquan was uneasy about the silence on the other side. He almost needed to hold the elevator door to calm himself down. "Collin, where's Stony?"

"Arabella wanted to take him away, he didn't agree. Then he ran away alone. I don't know where he went. Go ask Arabella. Maybe she drove him away."

Jaquan hurriedly hung up and immediately dialed Arabella's number.

The moment the call was connected, he anxiously asked, "Where's Stony?"

"Jaquan, I..."

Jaquan burst out with anger. "I'm asking you where Stony is."

Arabella's voice was faint, carrying a hint of guilt. "When I drove out, he had gone."

Jaquan immediately hung up the phone. As he entered the underground garage, he opened the car door and got in. At the same time, he dialed Ferne's number and said, "Ferne, Emma has been arrested. Help me take care of her. I'll be her attorney. There's one more thing I hope you can help me with."

"Stony is gone. Please check the surveillance cameras and the vehicles from Tea Manor to the city to look for a four-year-old boy."

"Please."

Jaquan kept saying without any break, not giving Ferne any time to figure out what was happening. Then, Jaquan hit the gas and drove the car out.

Felice called several times. Jaquan turned a blind eye and kept driving to the Police Station of City Y. His mind was occupied by Emma's calm and indifferent face. He had never seen her wear a sad look. Just thinking about it, he felt his heart had been torn out.

Would she regret saving Arabella?

Felice called again. Jaquan finally picked it up and put the phone in his ear. "Mom, I'm busy right now. I'll call you when I'm free."

Without waiting for a reply, he hung up.

On the other end of the phone, Felice, in the car, found that the phone was cut off. She turned to look at the boy who was picked up halfway and sighed. Then, she smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

Looking at her cautiously, Stony shook his head and didn't say anything.

"You cannot speak?" Felice asked kindly, "Where are your parents?"

When Stony heard it, his eyes turned red. His mother trusted that bad woman so that she was arrested by the police.

He couldn't trust anybody else anymore.

Felice couldn't help but sigh as she looked at him. "Allen, look. This child is exactly the same as our son when he was young. I just called to ask Jaquan, but he didn't give me a chance to speak. If I didn't know what kind of person he is, I would think that this boy is his love child."

Early this morning, Felice and Allen went to the GY Temple to pray for blessings. On their way back, they saw Stony running along the national highway. It was too dangerous. There were cars on the road, and there were no houses. They stopped to ask where he was going. Stony did not answer but keep walking forward with his head lowered.

Felice got off the car and asked, "Where do you want to go? We'll give you a ride. You'll have to walk a long way to get to the city. Let me take you there."

Perhaps Felice got to the point. Stony examined Felice and got in the car with his head hanging. However, he tensed his muscles, as if he was about to jump out of a car if something went wrong.

"Don't worry. We're not bad people." After saying that, Felice felt that something seemed to flash through Stony's eyes, such as hatred and hurt.

But how could a child have such emotions? She thought that she was mistaken.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry. What happened?" Felice hurriedly wiped his tears with a tissue. "Allen, what should a child of this age call me? Will it make me look older if he calls me grandma?"

Allen hesitated and returned, "Aunt Allen?"

"Alright, stop talking," Felice said disdainfully.

...

"You don't speak, so we don't know where you want to go. If that's the case, we have to send you to the police station," Felice sighed.

When Stony heard this, he nodded.

Seeing his reaction, Felice asked, "To take you to the police station?"

Stony nodded.

"That's good." Felice then said to the driver, "Go to the police station. Let's give him a ride and then go to my son's place."

...

"What's wrong with you? How can you act on your own?"

The captain of the police station was furious with his phone in his hand. "You said the suspect was a man and he ran into the forest. Do you know how many police officers have been asked to search him? No wonder you didn't allow to have a forensic autopsy. It turns out that the suspect is a woman! Ferne, I didn't expect you to tell us such a big lie in order to protect a woman! You have lost your credibility. How can we trust you again?"

Ferne was on the way to the police station. His phone was tossed aside with the speaker on. Because of the traffic jam and Arabella's calling the police, he was not in a good mood. So, his tone was even more aggressive than that of the police captain. "Someone has been stalking Emma for revenge. If it weren't for her self-defense, she would probably have been killed. If I bring her to the police station, those men may overstep the mark and kill her in the police station. Who will take the blame? Will you? No. Then why should I watch her die? Human life is of greater value than everything. Moreover, one of my best friends likes her!"

"You're just speculating!" The captain shouted at the phone, "Do you have any evidence? Show me! Without the evidence, that is just your speculation! Do you think the director will believe your bullshit? Ferne, come and explain everything clearly. You have committed a crime of harboring criminals, but you have a chance to confess so as to receive a lighter sentence."

"We can give evidence! We have found evidence that they are connected to the GY Temple. I..."

"Ferne, grow up, will you? Didn't you remember what happened last time?"

...

After hanging up, Ferne smacked the steering wheel hard and said, "Damn it!"
