Chapter 1268: 1264

The atmosphere in the living room became tense once more."I am..."

After a moment of silence, Vivian Thornecroft’s voice broke the quiet.

"We are from the Kyoto Public Security Bureau, and we now suspect you are involved in a murder-for-hire case. Please cooperate with our investigation. This is the arrest warrant."

The lead police officer took out a document, let everyone see it, and then waved for the subordinates to make the arrest.

This wasn’t an investigation inquiry; they issued a direct arrest warrant.

The elder Mr. Lawrence shuddered violently, almost unable to stand.

No matter what Mason Bennett said, he couldn’t believe it.

Even if the police wanted to arrest Vivian Thornecroft, he believed in her innocence.

However, when it came to the necklace incident, piece by piece, despite his bias towards Vivian Thornecroft, he couldn’t help but think of some unpleasant possibilities.

Among those present, Ariana was the only one who didn’t know what was happening.

Seeing Vivian Thornecroft about to be taken away, she was terrified.

"What’s going on? How could Vivian be involved in a murder-for-hire case? Dad, what’s happening? It’s not a misunderstanding?"

The elder Mr. Lawrence was already in poor health because of Bella Green’s situation, and now he was even more physically exhausted, waving his hand without speaking.

No matter what the situation is, by now, the truth will easily come to light.

...

What happened at the Lawrence family was almost instantly communicated to Matthew Lawrence.

The old butler beside him was shocked on the spot.

"Second Master, if that person was involved, how could Mason have found out? Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with Master Vivian."

This matter had been handled by him personally, so he knew for certain that Mason Bennett couldn’t possibly find out anything.

It’s even more impossible for it to be associated with Vivian Thornecroft. This matter has absolutely no connection to Vivian Thornecroft.

Matthew Lawrence evidently hadn’t expected things to develop this way, yet he remained composed, leisurely finishing brewing his tea, taking a sip before speaking softly.

"Go ask around."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint, unfathomable gleam appeared in the man’s gentle yet chilly eyes.

The old butler quickly nodded and went out.

In just over ten minutes, he returned, with an indescribable expression on his face.

"What?"

The old butler looked peculiar, instinctively feeling that this matter was absurd and laughable.

"He said, the account receiving the transfer was a virtual account. It’s impossible to track anything from it, and even if they did find something, it would be fake. It’s just that..."

"Hmm?" The man raised his head, a faint question.

The old butler looked helpless.

"It’s just that Mason Bennett’s team also had some high-level skills. They broke through his smokescreen, and at that time, he happened to be assisting Vivian Thornecroft with some matters, using Vivian’s account. Thus, accidentally exposing his account."

Matthew Lawrence frowned, unusually surprised.

This really was a misunderstanding, causing Vivian Thornecroft to get involved in this...

He underestimated Mason Bennett, but similarly, he overestimated the so-called top hacker in Asia.

"This is quite an unfortunate coincidence." Matthew Lawrence suddenly chuckled softly, with a somewhat ambiguous implication.

The old butler sighed, "What a pity for Master Vivian. Second Master, should we find a way to get him out?"

Matthew Lawrence’s fingers gently tapped the armrest of the wheelchair, leaving others unsure of his thoughts.

"Return to Kyoto first."

...

"Matthew Lawrence left?" Bella Green asked in surprise.

Yesterday, seeing Matthew Lawrence’s posture, she thought he wouldn’t leave so soon.
