Eight Years Imprisoned, One Night of Revenge Chapter 10
The investigators stepped up to Arthur and read from the document without expression."Arthur Ashford, you are suspected of falsifying official medical records, possessing assets from unexplained sources, and are subject to the reopening of an eight-year-old domestic violence case. You are hereby taken into custody in accordance with the law."With a sharp click, a pair of cold handcuffs locked around Arthur's wrists.Two investigators hauled him to his feet, one on each side.His legs gave way beneath him, and he was almost dragged toward the door.As he passed me, he suddenly struggled and turned to look at me.The arrogance had vanished from his eyes, replaced by desperate pleading. "Allison... for the children's sake... please say some good words for me. I can pay the money back. I was drunk back then..."Kate slipped her arm through mine and cut him off coldly. "Our father died eight years ago. You're nothing but a criminal."Arthur opened his mouth, but before he could say anothe

Just as Arthur's fingers were about to reach the USB drive, Luke stepped forward and delivered a sharp kick to Arthur's outstretched wrist."Don't touch it!"Luke stood in front of the table, glaring down at him. "You're an abuser!"Arthur clutched his wrist and stumbled to the floor, but he still refused to back down.He looked up, his face flushed red, and roared, "I'm a Major General! If you people lay a finger on me, the courts won't let you get away with it! By tomorrow, I'll have every one of you behind bars!"He still clung to the delusion that his rank could shield him from any crime.I stepped over the mess on the floor and stopped in front of him, looking down at him from above. "How much longer do you think that rank of yours will protect you?"I reached into the deepest compartment of my handbag and took out the last document.I flung it into Arthur's face. "This is the complete record of how you transferred assets during our marriage, accepted undisclosed kickbacks through

Arthur tore open the envelope and pulled out several pages bearing the hospital's official seal.He jabbed a finger at the diagnosis."September 14, eight years ago. You lost your mind, smashed a glass in the living room, and cut yourself with the broken pieces!"He held the medical records high for everyone to see."To protect your dignity—and to keep the children from having a mentally ill mother—I agreed to the divorce. I even asked the court to restrict where you could live so you could receive treatment!"I looked at the medical records, picked up the glass on the table, and took a sip of water. "Arthur."I set the glass down with a soft click and let out a cold laugh. "Didn't it ever occur to you to find out where the doctor who signed that report is now?"Arthur scoffed. "The records are right here in black and white, complete with the doctor's signature. Are you still going to deny it?"Steady footsteps echoed from the corridor outside the room.A middle-aged man in a trench co

The lead officer, Rachel Monroe, walked straight to the head of the table and stopped in front of Arthur.She took an ID from her jacket pocket, flipped it open, and held it up for Arthur to see. "Mr. Ashford, we're officials from the Education Bureau."We've received a formal complaint alleging that you abused your position to threaten personnel in our admissions office and deliberately interfere with the normal admissions process."Arthur froze, the photograph still raised in his hand. His expression shifted before he forced himself to remain calm. "This is a misunderstanding. I was only concerned about my son's education and called the head of admissions to discuss the situation."He tried to brush it off as a routine family matter.The official ignored his explanation. Another investigator removed a certified call transcript from an evidence folder and placed it on the table."The threats you made during that phone call triggered our admissions office's compliance review system.

Arthur roared into the speakerphone. "In my capacity as a Major General, I order you to revoke every one of Luke's admissions offers immediately! Put him on the blacklist for every college in Briarwood!"The line went silent for two seconds. Then came a hesitant replied, "Understood, General Ashford. We'll update the system immediately."Arthur hung up and tossed the phone onto the table, his chest heaving.Arthur ended the call and tossed his phone onto the table. He straightened his tie, the smug look returning to his face."Money will not save you from real power." He pointed at Luke. "You can have all the money in the world, and I'll still make sure you can't survive in Briarwood!"Seeing the turn of events, Vanessa immediately pulled out her phone and started recording.She aimed the camera at me, her voice full of fake sympathy. "Everyone, take a good look. This is the selfish woman who'd rather satisfy her own pride than think about her children. She forced their father to cut t

Arthur froze for a split second.He quickly snatched the declaration away and covered the exposed corner of the photograph."Stop waving that old photo around like a lunatic!" His voice rose. "We're talking about Luke's education! The call's still connected. Do you really want him to lose his chance at college?"He turned the speaker volume all the way up.Robert's hurried breathing echoed through the silent private dining room.Margaret spoke up, trying to smooth things over. "Allison, have you been under so much stress that you're imagining things? Arthur froze your bank cards. How are you supposed to live? Can those old keepsakes put food on the table?"She pointed at the dishes spread across the table. "Look at this dinner. Arthur paid for every dish. Just swallow your pride, your children will still have a future, and you can all get on with your lives."The other relatives nodded in agreement. For the sake of their own financial interests, they continued to take Arthur's side.I
