Chapter 568: Chapter 584: Engagement Banquet Without a Female Lead (7)

Evelyn Osbert turned her head and smiled as she pointed at the food Raymond Thompson had just been about to eat.

...

Raymond Thompson, hiding behind a wall in the restroom, peeked out with a little head, and slipped out of the restroom unnoticed while Evelyn Osbert wasn’t looking. He then ran out of the KFC and towards the police car parked outside.

...

After purchasing the food Raymond Thompson had pointed to, Evelyn Osbert still hadn’t seen him coming out of the restroom. She stood near the restroom entrance to wait.

She’d been waiting for quite a while, yet Raymond Thompson still hadn’t come out. Evelyn started to get impatient; she glanced at the time and realized it had been over ten minutes.

Even if it were a big restroom, he should have been out by now.

Had anything happened to the boy in the restroom?

Evelyn fidgeted with her 10-centimeter high heels, intending to find a male waiter at KFC to help her check on the restroom when suddenly the door to the KFC was pushed open from the outside. Two plainclothes men walked straight up to Evelyn and showed her a photo, asking, "Miss, do you know this boy?"

The photo was undoubtedly one of Raymond Thompson.

Evelyn immediately nodded and asked, "Yes, I know him, what happened?"

As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, one of the plainclothes men pulled an ID out of his pocket and held it up to her, saying, "Miss, we are police officers. A little boy has just asked us for help. Please come with us for an investigation."

The police officer then handcuffed Evelyn’s wrist.

Although this was the second time Evelyn was taken away for questioning by the police, her mind was still somewhat dazed. She looked at the police and, in a tone of confusion, asked, "I don’t quite understand what you mean. I know the boy, but what did I do that requires an investigation?"

"Come with us, and you’ll find out," said the police officer, who then escorted Evelyn out of the KFC store, with all eyes on her.

...

Evelyn was brought directly to a nearby police station.

As soon as she entered, she saw Raymond Thompson sitting inside, chatting with a slightly older police officer.

Evelyn, still somewhat puzzled, asked Raymond Thompson, "What are you doing here?"

Raymond Thompson hurriedly stood up, glanced warily at Evelyn, and hid behind the older police officer, whispering, "Uncle Police, it’s her. She said she’d take me to find my father but brought me to a KFC store."

Evelyn stared at Raymond Thompson in disbelief for a while before she vaguely realized what trouble his words would bring her. She instinctively started explaining to the police, "It’s not like that. I know his father. I only brought him to KFC because he wanted to eat it."

Raymond Thompson looked somewhat aggrieved as he gazed at Evelyn, grabbing the older police officer’s clothes with a somewhat timid expression.

In front of the police, between a man and a woman, a woman would have the upper hand. However, between a woman and a five-year-old child, there was no doubt that the child had the greater advantage.

Given Raymond Thompson’s current behavior, as if he were afraid of Evelyn, the police officer was very reluctant to believe Evelyn’s words, "We’ve seen many women like you who abduct children. You better admit it honestly, or once we verify the truth, you’ll be severely punished!"

"I genuinely know his father. If you don’t believe me, I can call his father right now." Evelyn said as she pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket.

Just as Evelyn was about to dial, she suddenly remembered that Percy Stanton had put her on his blacklist. She gave the phone number to the police and said, "If you don’t believe me, you can call this number to confirm..."
