YM778.TV Chapter 20: 20- Did we miss something?
"Haah....Haahh....Basta—?!", After his mind flashed back to the moment Damien\'s fist connected with his face, the only recollection Edward had was of his body jerking forward as he awoke, his eyes immediately taking in the sight of the vehicle he was in.
"Wh-where am I!" Edward cried out the moment he found himself handcuffed inside a car with a partition separating the driver\'s seat and back seat, indicating that it was a police department vehicle.
"Wait. Amelia!" As soon as he tried to glance out the window to take in his surroundings, he realized he was in a moving car that had just started. In the distance, he could see two familiar figures engrossed in conversation with a woman dressed in police attire. This caused him to call out the name of a familiar figure.
Unbeknownst to him, a woman in a bridal gown with a blank expression was sitting in another police car behind him, gazing at her handcuffed hand. Her trembling lips were tightly pursed, barely containing her tears before glancing at the man standing outside as she placed both palms on the window. \'How could you do this to me, you devil?\'
Both Emilia and Edward, who were handcuffed, were now inside different police cars, with Edward\'s car already heading towards the police station.
"Ameli...." Edward\'s voice faded as the car created distance from those familiar figures.
"Thank you Miss....um Tin" Damien smiled as he looked towards the policewoman, who was coldly gazing at him. He ignored the sound of a dog\'s cry coming from a nearby police car as it drove away from them.
"It\'s Lin, not Tin or Aluminum, Mr. Damien", Wanruo clenched her fingers on trigger tightly as she glared at the man, seething with anger as she observed this incompetent and unworthy second-generation heir of the Raphael family.
"Yes, same, but I have already told you that I am innocent", Damien again repeated his statement with both hands raised in the air, while a gun was pointed at his face by police woman.
"You are guilty until proven innocent, don\'t forget this Young Master Damien." Lin Wanruo didn\'t move as she held herself back from pulling the trigger. Her anger was increasing, not towards the man in front of her, but towards herself for not having any proof against him.
He could be the one responsible for everything.
Naturally, the head of the police department was on his way to the location, but he was delayed. As a result, she, who was near the hotel, arrived with her team to find several high society individuals injured and in distress.
Though she found dead bodies of the ones who seemed to attack this place, it was confusing for her to not understand how so many men had entered a hotel with arms when there were several bodyguards and security present outside.
And then she found out that the host of the party was none other than the worthless piece of trash known as Damien Raphael.
Everyone was aware of his habits of doing anything just to impress the woman from a Crimwell family, even going as far as using his influence on the police department or threatening innocent people.
For instance, there was a strike organized by the labor union against the safety department of the Crimwell family. In the presence of the police, this man entered with a rod and beat up innocent people who were peacefully protesting to improve safety in the company.
Not only that, he even went as far as giving bribes to the police department and forcing eyewitnesses to remain silent after an event where a member of the Crimwell family was involved in a car accident.
A man from such a well-respected family was behaving like trash, following a woman around, licking her feet, and even going as far as to bite others without considering their innocence.
"I must have been unaware of a new law, or did Miss Tin create it herself?" Damien\'s head lifted with a smirk as he looked down at the woman in front of him, completely ignoring the notifications that kept popping up beside him.

"You Insolen—" After hearing Damien\'s words, Wanruo was about to say something, but her words were interrupted when Amelia stepped forward.
"Officer, first you arrested Edward even after being given proof that he protected us from assailants. And now, without following the laws, you are pointing a gun towards an esteemed member of society. Isn\'t this a violation of rules?" Amelia stepped forward, remembering how Edward had been arrested by this woman, while ignoring Emilia\'s arrest.
She further added that this woman was using her authority to arrest Damien without any evidence, solely based on her own unreasonable suspicion.
Wanruo became angry and stepped forward, keeping her gun pointed at Damien\'s face. She exclaimed, "Esteemed member? Huh? Don\'t joke with me!" She then turned to Amelia and continued, "You and your boyfriend are constantly breaking the law by playing games all around the city. Can\'t I do the same for once?"
"What boyfriend—" Amelia was slightly taken aback by her referring to Damien as her boyfriend, but before she could complete her sentence, Wanruo interrupted and added.
"And, speaking of evidence, wasn\'t the knife used on Mr. Harrison found on Damien\'s wife?" Wanruo looked at the man she had pointed the gun at, recalling the evidence linking the weapon to the deadly attack on one of the esteemed wedding guests.
Wanruo was convinced that Damien, after rejecting a marriage proposal from the Harrison family, may have tried to harm the man who had suggested the alliance, due to Damien\'s connection with the woman from the Crimwell family.
This led her to believe that Damien was capable of going to extreme lengths, including murder, to sabotage the marriage.
