Marco couldn’t think of anything he’d done wrong, so he relaxed a bit. “Marco,” Clarissa said, her tone serious. “A lot of police officers went to our company today. You and your brothers haven’t been involved in anything illegal, have you? Especially under the company’s name?” Clarissa’s tone was grave. Marco couldn’t see her face, but he could tell from her voice that she was serious. Marco was shocked to hear about the police at the company. He replied carefully, “Mom, my brothers and I haven’t done anything illegal. We’ve been doing business normally, maybe just a little competitive. But, Mom, what are the police doing at the company? Is everything okay with our taxes?” Clarissa scolded him, “The tax bureau handles taxes, not the police.” “Then I really don’t know what’s going on,” Marco said. “I can assure you we haven’t done anything illegal.” If they had done something wrong, the police would have come directly for them. “Where are you now? Get your brothers back to the company,” Clarissa ordered. After notifying her sons, Clarissa called Mr. Dunn, her assistant, to make sure everything was in order before heading back to Farrell Group. When she arrived, the police were waiting for her. They informed her that they had received a report that Mr. Dunn, her assistant, was in possession of a gun and requested that both she and Mr. Dunn come to the station for questioning. Mr. Dunn was fiercely loyal to Clarissa, only acting on her orders, so only she had his contact information. Even though people often saw him at the company, no one else had his number. The police asked Clarissa to provide Mr. Dunn’s contact information and to call him to accompany her to the station. “Officer, who told you this? Who reported that Mr. Dunn has a gun? He’s just my assistant, not a criminal. Someone must be trying to frame him and discredit me,” Clarissa said, defensive. “I’ve made plenty of enemies, and now they’re trying to bring me down by blaming me for things I didn’tNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
do.” Even though the police were only interested in Mr. Dunn, his actions reflected on her, and if he had a gun, she would likely know about it. If she went to the station with him, it would be hard to avoid trouble. Clarissa suspected Liberty was behind this. As soon as she heard the police were at the company, she feared they had discovered her gun and reported it. Her suspicion made her nervous. She knew she was guilty of something illegal and that there would be consequences. “Mrs. Farrell, we need to investigate whether the report is false. Please cooperate by coming with us for questioning. It’s a routine procedure, and we appreciate your understanding,” one of the officers explained. Clarissa paused before responding, “Someone is trying to frame me. You don’t have any evidence; you can’t arrest anyone.” “Mrs. Farrell, we’re not formally arresting you. We just need to question you,” the officer clarified.
