"Well, even if the coffee at the police station tastes awful, at least it doesn''t harm me. But I dare not drink anything from the Iverson household. Who knows if it might cause severe stomach issues? Or worse, maybe I''ll get poisoned. It''s just not worth the risk," Ralph replied with a cool smile, easily brushing off James'' taunts.
"Mr. Thompson! My son''s case has been closed. Your people released him! What brings you here again?!" Fed up with arguing, Lance''s eyes were red with anger and embarrassment. He eximed, “You can''t just take Charles away without evidence. I won''t let you have it your way again. The Iverson family isn''t something the Thompsons can mold and manipte at will! I''m only extending courtesy to you because of the long-standing rtionship between our families and because you''re Wyatt Thompson''s son. Don''t take advantage of my generosity!" The police officers thought, ''Wyatt Thompson''s son?! Our Captain Thompson is the son of Hatchybay''s wealthiest man and Be Thompson''s brother?!''

"Thew does not wrongly convict the innocent, nor does it spare any brute." The Iversons'' expressions turned as dark as a pot scorched for over a decade.

"Mr. Charles Thompson, you are currently under suspicion in connection with an attempted rape case. Please cwith us to assist with the investigation," Ralph stated firmly, cutting to the chase. His gaze was as cold as ice, piercing Charles'' pallid face. "Dad! James!" Panic contorted Charles'' face, clearly revealing his desperation.
"Take him away." At Ralph''s stern nce, the two officers swiftly moved toward Charles.

James managed to remainposed and indignant, "When did I say I was arresting him?" Ralph smiled wryly, his eyebrows arching teasingly. "I merely suggested that Charles con Set us to cooperate with our investigation and provide a statement. You look fine, but you don''t seem to understand human speech." James gritted his teeth in fury. "Ralph! You!" "After all, everyone saw Ms. Thompson''s livestream yesterday, where she identified Charles as an abuser. Although he ultimately did not seed due to his inability, we cannot ignore a victim''s report." "I-I''m not going!" Terrified, Charles shook uncontrobly. His body was even stiffer than his prosthetics.
"Are you afraid to even cooperate with the investigation? Does that mean you''re hiding something? Is everything Ms. Thompson imed the truth?" Ralph remainedposed, yet his words carried an icy resolve. "If you refuse to cooperate with the police investigation or attempt to flee the, country at this critical moment, these actions will be seen as evidence of guilt.
