Chapter 1306

How could the police not take a person of interest away just because someone prevented them from doing so? Wouldn’t that trample the police’s authority underfoot?

The policeman’s face darkened as he looked at Amelia with a serious expression. “Mrs. Lore, I’d advise you to step aside. By blocking my way, you’re obstructing us from carrying out our duty as policemen, which would allow us to also take you with us according to the law. So, if you don’t want to go with us to the police station for an investigation, please step aside. Otherwise, you will follow us back to the station.”

As soon as he said that, Amelia subconsciously lowered her outstretched arms a little. The next instant, however, she recalled something and raised her arms again, and her expression became determined once again. “I know nothing about obstructing police duty; all I know is that you want to take my daughter away. As a mother, I’ll never allow you to do that.”

The policeman massaged his temples. “Seems like you won’t listen to us. Very well then. We will take you with us,” he said. With that, he stopped trying to reason with Amelia or showing her respect. He stepped forward, shoved Amelia aside, and grabbed Lynette once again.

Lynette screamed and yelled, “Save me, Mom! Save me!”

Hearing her daughter’s heart-wrenching cries for help made Amelia’s heart ache so much that she found it hard to breathe. After steadying herself, she lunged at the policeman again, threatening, “Let go of my daughter, you mugs, or I’m gonna fight you to the death!”

Seeing how unreasonable she was, the policeman got angry, too; he immediately called the other policeman inside.
