Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 500 Auntie’s Sister-in-law Can’t Be Provoked (6)_1

By the time he arrived at the Serendipity Cafe, there was no sign of Adele Horne. He hurriedly dialed the matchmaker, Mrs. Wang, and asked, "Aunt Wang, has Miss Horne, whom you introduced to me, arrived? I'm at the Serendipity Cafe now, but I haven't seen her yet."

Mrs. Wang was at home playing cards with a few friends.

Upon receiving Flynn Walker's call, Mrs. Wang paused the game and stepped aside, laughing as she said, "Professor Walker, just wait a bit longer. I'll ask around for you too. Adele's a woman, so she might be a bit shy. I suppose she's just feeling a little self-conscious, perhaps. Besides, young ladies from wealthy families often run a bit late. Just wait a bit longer, alright? I'm calling the Horne Family right now to check for you."

Mrs. Wang hung up after speaking.

Mrs. Wang knew Flynn Walker because her son was his student.

Immediately thereafter, Mrs. Wang called the Horne Family. When she heard that Adele Horne had left the house over an hour ago, she realized Adele should have been waiting at the Serendipity Cafe by then. This made Mrs. Wang worried. Her concern wasn't for any misfortune that might befall Adele, but for the possibility that Adele didn't actually want to go on the blind date.

She had become acquainted with Mila Anderson through card games and was very keen on currying favor with her, given Mila's status as Mrs. Anderson of the Horne Family. When she learned that Mila Anderson was anxious about her daughter's marriage, she immediately introduced Flynn Walker to Adele.

If the match were successful, she, the matchmaker, would gain much face and the gratitude of the Horne Family.

So, she was very afraid that Adele Horne didn't want to go on the blind date.

If she knew about all the complications that had arisen in the meantime, she would probably be scared half to death.

"Professor Walker, the servant at the Horne Family said Adele left over an hour ago. Look around and see if she's sitting in some corner. Alas, I don't have her phone number. It's just how it is with the Horne Family; the phone numbers of their young masters and ladies aren't something ordinary people can obtain," Mrs. Wang said to Flynn Walker.

After finishing the call, Mrs. Wang dialed Mila Anderson.

She suggested Mila call Adele Horne to ask if she had gone to the Serendipity Cafe, mentioning that Professor Walker had already arrived.

When Mila Anderson called Adele Horne, she was shocked to learn Adele was at the Police Station. Adele briefly explained the situation over the phone. Mila immediately became enraged and called Mrs. Wang to berate her. Only then did Mrs. Wang realize a mistake had been made. Even more startled than Mila, she hastily apologized, explaining that she had introduced Flynn Walker, not Tobby Walker, and that there must have been a misunderstanding. Then, she abandoned her card game and hurried to the Police Station.

At the Police Station, Tobby Walker pointed to his face, which was red and swollen from Julia Bluen's assault. Playing the victim, he complained to the interrogating Officer Chen, "Look at this! She hit me. I was just on a blind date with Miss Horne, and I like her. It's perfectly normal for us to get a bit intimate. But this woman, without any rhyme or reason, started hitting me. I demand an apology and compensation from her!"

He had injuries as proof. Even if the other party was wealthy, the police couldn't possibly cover for them, could they? They'd have to compensate him at least a little.

Tobby Walker thought shamelessly: 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He hadn't slept with the beauty, but he was determined to get some money out of this.

"He assaulted me!" Adele Horne exclaimed softly, her pretty face flushing with discomfort.

Must she suffer such humiliation just because she was unmarried and pregnant?

The thought that her mother's card-playing friend had introduced her to such a man made her heart bleed.

Was she doomed to endure even more pain for her past mistakes? She was already aware of her previous failings and had learned her lesson. She was trying to improve. Couldn't they just let her live her life in peace? She sympathized with her mother, but did her mother ever sympathize with her?

"Miss Horne, how can you accuse me of assault? Which eye saw me assaulting you? And where exactly did I assault you—was it your chest or…?" Tobby Walker shamelessly denied his lecherous behavior. "You can't just bully the poor because you're wealthy," he challenged.

Tobby Walker was cunning. With that statement laid on the table, he stared provocatively at Julia Bluen. He was implying that she was using her wealth to frame an innocent man. He was also reminding the police not to show favoritism; otherwise, he would leak the matter to the media and claim the Horne Family was using their influence to bully people.

Julia Bluen clenched her teeth. She had seen her share of shameless individuals, but she hadn't expected Tobby Walker to be this brazen.

"Officer Chen, you can check the surveillance videos from that road section and the front of the Serendipity Cafe to see if we were using our influence to bully anyone. Yes, I hit him. I hit him because he was assaulting my sister-in-law. I struck him with my shoe. If he requires compensation, fine. Let him go to the hospital for an assessment of his injuries, and he can be compensated accordingly. However, before I compensate him, he must first be severely punished for assaulting my sister-in-law," Julia Bluen stated calmly. She had already put her shoes back on and, at this moment, had shed her earlier ferocity, returning to her usual composed demeanor.

Composed and exuding an air of elegance, it was clear she was no ordinary woman.

Her innate noble demeanor made Tobby Walker feel intimidated once more.

The interrogating Officer Chen replied warmly, "Mrs. Horne, rest assured, we will ensure Miss Horne receives justice. We will thoroughly investigate the entire matter." When he had escorted Julia Bluen and the others to the Police Station, he had already left some officers at the scene to investigate.

Upon hearing Julia's words, Tobby Walker felt even more fear in his heart.

He hadn't considered that there might be video evidence. A refined place like the Serendipity Cafe would typically have surveillance cameras. The area in front, where customers parked, would also be monitored to protect their vehicles. His assault on Adele Horne inside her car had probably been entirely caught on camera.

Thinking of this, Tobby Walker broke out in a cold sweat.

His demand for compensation from Julia Bluen wouldn't yield much money. His injuries were trivial; at most, the slaps to his face were a bit hard. He wouldn't even need medication, so how could he demand compensation? On the other hand, if the Horne Family sued him, he would not only face charges for attempted rape but also have to pay Adele Horne for emotional distress. He'd failed to sleep with the beauty and now faced jail time. What terrible luck!

"Officer Chen."

At that moment, the investigating officers returned.

They reported their findings to Officer Chen.

After listening, Officer Chen gazed coldly at Tobby Walker and asked pointedly, "Tobby Walker, do you have anything else to say?"
