Chapter 208 I Have a Witness Who Can Prove My Innocence

"I am Malcolm Foster, the head of the Punishment Division in Edoland's North District! If you've done anything wrong, I suggest you confess now!" Malcolm said coldly.

His expression was stern and intimidating.

Lachlan shook his head. "I haven't done anything wrong. What do I need to confess?"

Romeo snorted and held up the evidence in his hand, pointing to the maid beside him. "Lachlan, we have both eyewitnesses and physical evidence today. You can't argue your way out of this one! Let me tell you something - my mother was fine before she received treatment from you, but now she's half-dead! We're going to get her checked out right now and find out if there are excessive levels of arsenic poisoning in her body - all thanks to what you did!"

Harlow also spoke with hatred, "Lachlan, we have witnesses and physical evidence against you now. You can't escape anymore! How about you get my grandmother checked too? Let's see if it matches up with this piece of evidence."

"Owen, George, Jennifer - all of you saw it that day when Lachlan took over Mrs. Lowe's treatment! Now look at Mrs. Lowe's condition; shouldn't he be responsible for what happened?" Eliza shouted loudly. Owen, George and Jennifer nodded slightly as they looked at Lachlan with unfriendly eyes.

Now, with people testifying and presenting the residue of the medicine, Romeo's family loudly declared their intention to have Victoria's body examined for elevated arsenic levels. All the evidence seemed to confirm the “fact” that Lachlan had poisoned Victoria with the intention of harming her.

"Bullshit! Eyewitnesses and physical evidence can be faked easily enough! My brother-in-law couldn't possibly harm my grandmother!" Mason defended Lachlan at this point while Emmanuel and Cara joined in saying, "If he really harmed her, then why would he bring us here?" Miranda spoke coldly, "This is ridiculous. Lachlan told me himself that he never treated my grandmother before so where did these traces come from?"

Hearing this statement made by Miranda caused Romeo's eyes to flicker a few times, "How is that possible? Just because he says it didn't happen means it didn't happen? You guys can't just protect him like this!"

“That's right! Mr. Foster, she is Lachlan's wife after all — how could we trust what she says?" Harlow sneered.

At this moment, Lachlan infused his starry gaze with dragon energy as he looked towards Victoria only to see some green poison circulating inside her body indicating a certain amount of arsenic poison actually existed within her system!

Glancing over at the teacup next to Victoria, Lachlan sneered inwardly, "Hehe, Romeo's family really didn't leave any loopholes in framing me." “I have to admit, if I were really treating Mrs. Lowe these past few days, I'm definitely implicated in this poisoning case,” he continued.

“If I am not careful, the charge of poisoning someone will be pinned on me for sure!”

At that moment, Malcolm snorted coldly and motioned for his uniformed officers to take Lachlan away for questioning.

"Take him back and cooperate with our investigation!" he ordered. “Yes sir!" the officers replied sternly as they approached Lachlan with handcuffs at the ready.

"What are you doing? You can't just arrest someone without investigating first!" Miranda protested as she stepped in front of Lachlan protectively.

"We're just taking him back to assist with our investigation! Please step aside and don't interfere with official business!" Malcolm retorted firmly. At that moment, he already saw Lachlan as a suspect in the case at hand.

"Who dares take my brother-in-law away?" Mason demanded angrily. "What are you going to do about it, Mason? Use violence?" Harlow teased him while Eliza sneered at Lachlan saying "Willis, I know you're strong, but if you think you can resist arrest then go ahead!"

The family all knew deep down that even if Lachlan was powerful, there was no way he could fight against national agencies! Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If he dared resist, then his crime would only become more severe! Suddenly a loud voice rang out from behind them, "Who dares arrest someone directly?"

They turned around and saw an imposing middle-aged man accompanied by several plainclothes subordinates striding into Lowe's Mansion confidently. Many people recognized him immediately and were surprised by his presence there, "Mr. Burke? Why is he here?" "This is Mr. Burke from Edoland's Punishment Department! What brings him here today?"

"Why did he come..."

Harlow glared at Lionel rudely before shouting, "Who do you think you are?! Trying to obstruct official business?! Do you want to die or something?"

Romeo felt his eyelid twitching uncontrollably when Harlow spoke like this. He knew who Lionel was but apparently Harlow didn't...

Malcolm quickly went up to greet Lionel, "Mr. Burke... what brings your visit here today?"

"Why did anyone give you the authority to arbitrarily arrest him?" asked Lionel sternly before adding, "If I hadn't come here today, would things have gone awry under your watchful eye?"

"Mr. Burke, all the evidence points to Lachlan Willis as the suspect. I'm just following protocol by asking him to come in for questioning,” Malcolm said, sweating profusely.

Lionel snorted and turned his attention to Lachlan, nodding at him and saying, "Mr. Willis, I'm here today to ensure justice is served! If you're innocent, no one can falsely accuse you or arrest you!"

He then looked coldly at Harlow and said, "Miss, I am the Chief Enforcer of Edoland's Punishment Bureau. Do you know who I am now? Do I have the right to interfere with Malcolm's duties?"

Harlow widened her eyes in shock and her face turned red upon hearing this revelation about Lionel's identity.

She never expected that he was such a high-ranking official!

And it seemed like he was on Lachlan's side.

How did this guy manage to befriend even the Chief Enforcer of Edoland?

"Mr. Burke, all the evidence shows that Lachlan wants to harm my mother. Surely you won't protect a criminal?" Romeo asked with a flicker in his eyes.

He secretly sneered inside - so what if Lionel showed up?

The evidence they had was enough to nail Lachlan!

“That's right! Since Mr. Burke is here for justice too and we have both eyewitnesses and physical evidence against Lachlan - there is no way he can escape!" Eliza gritted her teeth angrily.

Lionel frowned slightly before turning towards Lachlan again, "Do you have anything else to say? If there is any proof that proves your innocence, please present it."

Lachlan nodded his head before looking straight at Romeo's family who were already gloating over their victory, "I have a witness who can prove my innocence!"

Romeo laughed mockingly, "A witness? Hahaha! Don't tell me it's Miranda or Mason? They are not qualified witnesses!"

Lachlan shook his head before pointing towards Victoria direction, "My witness is Mrs. Lowe!"

Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this revelation — how could she be considered an eligible "victim" witness?!
