Chapter 500: Chapter 516: So It’s Him (21)

Percy Stanton and Tony entered the restroom and immediately closed the door, cutting off the reporters outside. Percy took out his mobile phone, checked the number, and made a call.

The call was quickly picked up, and Percy spoke very seriously into the phone: "Hello, I’d like to file a complaint. At the engagement banquet held today at the Bellshire Grand Hotel, I discovered dishes made with protected wild animals!"

After hanging up, Tony stared at Percy with wide eyes, puzzled: "Mr. Stanton, this wasn’t part of the plan we came up with!"

"I improvised on the spot!"

"After you made that call..." Tony’s eyes widened even more, and then he understood, exclaiming: "Mr. Stanton, that’s such a great idea! I support you!"

With an indifferent smile, Percy waited for about five minutes before saying to Tony: "Let’s go. It’s time to enjoy the show!"

...

When Percy and Tony came out of the restroom again, the reporters were frantically taking pictures of the main entrance of the Bellshire Grand Hotel.

A group of people wearing police uniforms, carrying inspection badges, walked in. They announced, "Someone has reported that the food served at this engagement banquet contains protected wild animals. Who is responsible for the banquet’s catering?"

The restaurant’s manager, in panic, responded, "We provided the catering, but Miss Evelyn Osbert selected the dishes."

"Miss Evelyn is?"

"Her." The manager pointed at Evelyn Osbert.

The police approached Evelyn and said, "Miss Osbert, please come with us."

"There’s nothing wrong with the food! I didn’t use any wild animals! It’s a misunderstanding!" Evelyn, utterly confused about what was happening, couldn’t understand why she was suddenly being arrested. She tried to defend herself loudly.

"Miss Osbert, whether there is a problem or not isn’t up to you. Since someone reported it, we must investigate. So, please come with us now no matter what."

As the policeman spoke, he handcuffed Evelyn’s wrist and pushed her towards the door.

Having never experienced such a scenario, Evelyn was frantic. She had indeed planned the engagement banquet menu but wasn’t sure if any of the dishes contained protected wild animals. Now, with the police leading her away in front of so many reporters, her face was utterly ruined. Her heart was sinking, and tears filled her eyes. Her voice quivered, "Please don’t take me away. I really didn’t use any wild animals."

The police officers remained stern and indifferent to Evelyn’s pitiful pleas.

As she was being led away, Evelyn desperately turned to Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert, "Dad, Mum, please help me..."

Sebastian and Carla rushed forward to intervene, but they were stopped by other police officers. They helplessly watched their daughter being taken away, anxiously dialing their phones to seek help from their connections.

Not far away, Percy watched the chaotic scene unfold, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Taking advantage of the reporters’ distraction, he and Tony slipped through the crowd and left the Bellshire Grand Hotel discreetly.

Outside the Bellshire Grand Hotel, two police cars were parked. Percy and Tony had just stepped out when Evelyn was brought out by the police.

Just as the police were about to put Evelyn in the car, they suddenly heard a voice: "Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Both the police officer and Evelyn turned around.

Percy Stanton and Tony Williams walked over from a short distance away.
