"Alright, take a breather. I'll go check it out," Martin patted her head without any idea of what was going through her mind, as he headed downstairs first.

After a frantic search, she spotted a few police officers standing outside the main gate, with a patrol car parked nearby. Not too far from the patrol car, a gaggle of reporters was gathered, each of them eager for a scoop.
When Martin emerged, camera flashes went off incessantly. Out of respect for the police investigation, the crowd kept their distance, bombarding him with questions.
Martin brushed them off and calmly approached the group at the gate, "What seems to be the problem?" "Mr. Cooper, you're implicated in two homicides. We need you to cwith us for questioning." The officer in front said, before lowering his voice, "I'm sorry to do this, Mr. Cooper, but the situation has escalated. There's no choice for us. We would appreciate your cooperation." "Sure," Martin stepped into their vehicle without resistance.

She quickly scrolled through the trending topics on her phone, and there it was: #Martin Detained# at the top of the news feed. She now understood that apparently, the blfor the sabotage of a prestigious car had been pinned on Martin.
It definitely was not Martin's doing; she knew Martin wasn't capable of such pettiness. He would never stoop to that level! Who would do such a thing to him? The Cooper family wouldn't just stand by, would they? Aside from running his own company, Martin was also the favored successor of Giles, whose fortune was far more substantial than that of Ansel.
And with Ansel having only one son, he certainly wouldn't let anything happen to him. The vast empire of the Cooper Group would eventually be handed down to his son.
With that thought, Serena felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Cathy was thrilled to receive praise from Bella, "There are a few other spots I know of, next time, I'll take you there!" If only Romeo wouldn't monopolize Arabella, she could show her so many more great places! "Arabella, I really can't thank you enough for what you did last time. If it wasn't for you stepping in, I would have been, writing family rules unti my hand fell off." Cathy couldn't help but add, "Romeo can be so strict with punishments. You're so amazing, able to handle him with ease."
