The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 391 You Messed With the Wrong Family
“Did any of you actually see me with bodyguards? You’ve got nothing on me and you just hauled me in m filing a complaint!”
The interrogator kept his patience. “We received a report that you’re connected to organized crime, and you’re suspected of kidnapping, extortion, and assault. Please cooperate with the investigation.”
“What organized crime? What kidnapping and extortion? What assault? Do you have any proof?”
“You lured someone to an abandoned building in the middle of the night. What exactly were you trying to do? We’ve already picked up the thugs who were with you, and they’re talking. If you don’t cooperate now, we’ll get everything we need from them and charge you anyway.”
Seeing how firm the interrogators were, Naomi began to panic.
“I want to see Mr. Nathaniel! Let me talk to Mr. Nathaniel first!”
She remembered Nathaniel bragging constany how if he ever showed up at the station, even the police
chief would bend over backward for him.
But the interrogators only exchanged a glance, their expressions growing more serious. “Mr. Nathaniel or not, start explaining yourself now.”
Meanwhile-
News that Naomi and the hired thugs had been arrested spread quickly to Nathaniel.
As soon as he heard it, his expression darkened.
“How the hell did she get herself arrested? What the hell is that dumb bitch doing?”
Did Naomi forget they were part of the underworld? And she still dared mess with the police?
Someone nearby, nervous, asked, “Should we make a call? Try to get her out?”
If the cops started digging and uncovered Naomi’s business, fine–but what if they found other dirt?
Nathaniel exhaled sharply. “Send Matteo to the station. See if he can get her out quietly.”
“I heard it’s just suspected kidnapping. No one was hurt, so maybe-”
Before he could finish, another man burst into the room, breathless.
“Bad news! Really bad!”
“What now? Spit it out!”
“Naomi kidnapped someone important–it was the Sue family’s heiress!”
“You mean she went after Eliza?” Nathaniel’s face went pale.
The guy nodded frantically. “Yes! Eliza! Halbert’s already on his way, demanding an explanation! And Tristan just called. He said…”
“What did he say?!”

“He said if you’re looking to die, then go ahead and touch someone from the Sue family! Word from the docks is all our exports have been frozen by customs. Nothing’s going out. That’s tens of millions in goods Nathaniel felt like the sky had collapsed on him.
What the hell was Naomi thinking?
Of all people, why Eliza?
Right now, the last person in Westbrook anyone wanted to provoke was her.
He stumbled a few steps, nearly collapsing.
“Boss… are we still going to the station to get her out?”
“Get her out? Are you out of your mind? Halbert’s already on his way!”
Halbert had clearly been sent by Tristan.
Naomi had gone after Eliza, and Tristan was furious. He’d frozen all their shipments and was now sending people over. It was clear–they were about to make an example out of them.
Saving Naomi was the last thing on Nathaniel’s mind now.
Bang!
The doors burst open with a violent crash.
Nathaniel’s heart skipped a beat.
“Old man, you’ve got guts–kidnapping my sister? If she hadn’t been sharp, were you planning to rough her up too?”
Halbert stormed in with a group of men, quickly subduing the Hartwell family’s guards at the entrance.
Seeing how fast Halbert had arrived, Nathaniel rushed forward. “This is all a misunderstanding! I just found out about the kidnapping myself. Naomi acted/alone. She didn’t run this by me at all. Look, it’s normal for sisters to have little spats. Ms. Sue probably didn’t even take it seriously-
He was trying to cover for Naomi.
But Halbert didn’t hesitate–he kicked Nathaniel square in the chest.
As the head of the Hartwell family, Nathaniel had never been humiliated like this in front of outsiders.
He scrambled to his feet, his face dark and cold. “Halbert! You little punk! I just spoke to you respectfully and you laid hands on me? Do you even know where you are? This is Westbrook! You think you can just walk all over me, Nathaniel?”
