Release That Succubus

219 Chapter 219 Sound Out II



He was using the warrant as the excuse to justify his actions and Marico didn't have the right to criticize him now that his status was that of an alleged criminal.

  "Gentlemen, escort our Mr. Windsor out of his home with respect deserving of a criminal and onwards to our police station."

The two burly cops finally let out a breath of relief after they saw their captain take out the arrest warrant and their courage level increased. One of them grabbed onto Marico's hands and pulled them behind his back while the other took out handcuffs attached to his waist and was about to cuff Marico when Clara ran out from behind Marico's back and pushed the cop away.

Just when she was about to get violent with the cops for daring to treat her father with disrespect, Marico turned towards her and glared at her with red eyes. He seemed furious.

"You are NOT making this any easier with your violent actions. Don't make it any worse than it already is. Stand back and control yourself. Don't lose your mind just because of a little surprise."

Marico snubbed his youngest daughter on the outside but on the inside he felt happy about how she was trying to protect him. Still he didn't need her to solve it with violence. Instead he needed her to stay calm, analyze the situation and come up with a solution together with her calm and relatively more experienced sister. 

As soon as the police got involved, Marico knew he needed to gather evidence of his innocence before anything else. He needed someone on the outside who knew of the entire situation. What Clara was about to do would have only allowed the police to take her into custody as well for interfering in police business.

Clara looked like she was about to cry but the water in her eyes didn't trickle down due to her stubbornness. She stood back as she watched her father being cuffed by the two cops in such an insulting manner. It made her blood boil but she held it in and bit her lips bloody instead.

When she looked at the cops, there was murder in her eyes but her father had told her to stay calm; so she did.

Just as the cops were about to drag Marico out of their home, Marico turned back and said to Clara, "Go back to your sister and tell her everything that happened here. Don't try to tangle with the police, no need to engage the other families in battle; stay calm and think of a solution with your sister. She will probably know what to do. Listen to her; alright?"

Clara nodded in understanding. She knew that what her father had told her was very important and she needed to act on his instructions as soon as possible. The sooner Violet knew of the problem, the sooner she would be able to come up with a solution and the sooner their father could be brought out of the prison cell he was being taken to.

Clara didn't wait for the police to take her father away and left immediately as her tears finally trickled down her face. She didn't want to cry in front of the police that was more like bullies. But as soon as she left, the knowledge that her father might be mistreated by them made her heart sink. She wanted to punch those idiots but her father had forbidden her from doing anything. All she could do was to find her sister and talk her into coming up with the necessary evidence to get their father out before they did anything to him.

Once Clara left; Marico wasn't as troubled as he was before about being arrested. As a father, he didn't want his daughter to see him so helpless. This was his selfish desire but he wanted his daughters to treat him as their hero and not as a burden. He had spent half his life as a sick person who was bedridden most of the time. His daughters had to grow up early because of his inadequacy. Now that he was healthy and back on his feet, he didn't want his daughters to see him like this again. He wanted them to see him as their pillar of support.

Marico looked at Andy in a provocative manner before moving his head upwards slightly as if saying, "What now? Do what you have to do. I don't have all day."

Andy didn't care about Marico's action and turned around in the direction of the exit of the mansion.

The cops nudged Marico from behind as they escorted him on either sides as if the feeble old man like him could run away by pulling a sheet over a group of burly and cunning cops like them.

He laughed slightly at their actions and followed after Andy in his footsteps. There was not a trace of resentment or anger on his face now. It was the epitome of serenity and not the slightest hint of panic could be found from his body language.

Marico had accepted his situation and he believed that his daughters would be able to come up with a way to save him sooner or later.

As he walked, he slightly increased his pace and started walking abreast the police captain Andy. The escorts tried to pull him back but Andy raised his hand to stop them from going overboard. What could a handcuffed man possibly do to him especially when he was alone amidst a dozen cops?

"Why are you doing this, Andy? Did Hogan put you up to this?" Marico tried to sound him out as if to check the depth of the water. He knew what kind of relationship Andy had with Hogan and could smell Hogan all over this petty scheme. Still he needed to know.

Andy had gone back to being his aloof self. He didn't respond to Marico's questions because he had sensed Marico's intentions as well.
