The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back

29. Interrogation

Suddenly, Tom saw Danny leaving the elevator while Laura was still busy calling her ex-husband. Without waiting long, Tom immediately ran to Danny and held him back.

Laura, who realized Tom was no longer around, immediately followed what Young Master Harold was doing.

"Tom, arrest him, and hand him over to the police. He must be trying to escape right now!" Laura exclaimed.

"Of course, that's why I ran straight here. I'll hold this bastard while you get those two police officers over here to arrest him!" Tom commanded.

Laura nodded and stepped towards the reception desk, shouting for the police. "The thief is here. Arrest him immediately!"

Laura's shout caught the people's attention in the lobby, including the policemen. They all looked in Laura's direction at Danny, who was being held by Tom and not resisting.

Danny's brow furrowed as people looked at him. Of course, he was upset to be humiliated and considered a criminal like this.

A few minutes ago, Danny was relaxing on the balcony of his presidential suite. Laura had repeatedly called and texted him to come to the lobby. Danny was reluctant at first, but if he didn't come down, then Laura and Tom would follow the police to his room, and his identity would be revealed.

To keep the secret, Danny chose to go downstairs and fulfill Laura's call, only to be humiliated like this. Danny smiled. What he received today would return to the Huxley family.

"Are you Mr. Danny Raphael?" asked one of the red-haired police officers, Officer Warren.

Danny nodded.

"We have a report of a theft of a calligraphy painting worth three million, and we have a search warrant. Please cooperate!" Officer Warren then showed Danny the warrant.

"Oh, you want to search my room? I didn't take anything from the Huxley family like I've been accused of," Danny said confidently.

Laura immediately stood up and squinted at Danny, "Why? Do you mind your room being searched by Officer Warren? Are you afraid that a painting or maybe a pile of cash might be found in your room?"

"Ha ha Danny! Laura was kind enough to give you a chance to beg for mercy, but you didn't listen. Now that we've actually called the police, you're scared!" taunted Tom.

Danny squinted at Tom, "Who said I was scared or objected to the police officer's request? I'm not one to cover up shame with lies like you two!"

Tom gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. Danny didn't care about that. Instead, he showed his friendly face to the two police officers before him and returned the warrant.

"I don't mind going through the search procedure. But I don't want those two to come to my room!" Danny exclaimed.

"What right do you have to stop me? I called the police to arrest you!" shouted Laura, but Tom held her back.

"Laura, don't embarrass yourself! Leave everything to the police. We'd better wait for him to come out of the elevator with his hands cuffed," said Tom, glancing at Danny dismissively.

Laura laughed out loud at this, "That's right, we'll see him walking down like a pig!" But a second later, Laura became gloomy again, "But, what if he's already secured the stolen goods, or maybe thrown them onto the balcony. I have to see it!"

Danny took a long breath and told the police, "They can come, but they have to wait at my door!"

"Huh!" Laura complained and followed the policeman walking behind Danny.

The elevator took them to the fifth floor, the top floor of Pine Royal Resort. The hotel was not a high-rise, like the surrounding hotels, but it was used for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Laura wondered when the elevator stopped, and they walked up to the President's Suite. "Hey, Danny, you can't joke around and deliberately hamper the investigation. This is the direction of the President's. A poor person like you can't possibly stay in a place like this!"

Laura pulled Danny's hand and asked him to stop. But Danny let go of Laura's hand and continued to lead the way until he finally stopped at a large door and put his keycard in front of it. The door swung open, and Danny gestured for the two police officers to enter.

"Officer, please conduct a search. I will wait outside so that there will be no slander, like saying I conspired and bribed you. Aren't there people here who like to talk nonsense?" Danny said.

"What do you mean Danny?" asked Laura as she pointed at him.

"Did I say your name? If you're not the person I'm talking about y, ou'd better shut up!" taunted Danny, making Laura even more annoyed and resentful.

Meanwhile, the police were busy searching Danny's room. It took a long time to find the items they were looking for. The room was spacious and equipped with a Jacuzzi and a private pool.

Two hours had passed, and the two officers came out of Danny's room. Laura immediately greeted him while Danny removed his earbuds from his ears. He deliberately listened to rock music from his cell phone because he couldn't stand Laura's constant nagging.

"Officer, you must have found a painting or some cash in his room, right? Now what are you waiting for? Arrest this man immediately and throw him in jail!" Laura ordered,

The two police officers just looked at each other. "Ms. Huxley, our investigation is not yet complete. Right now, we still need Mr. Danny Raphael's statement. Please both of you wait outside, and let us do our job!"

Danny followed the police into the presidential suite's living room while Laura and Tom were still outside. They pressed their ears against the door, but neither heard anything.

Meanwhile, inside the room...

"You are a former son-in-law living in the Huxley family, your job is a food delivery courier with a salary of 2000 to 3000 dollars per month. While the rent for this room is about 20000 dollars a night, where can you pay the bill for one night?" asked Officer Warren.

Danny sat up straight and linked his fingers. "I'm not renting one night, but seven. As for how I paid this hotel bill, it was from my card of course, and it had nothing to do with the Huxley family."

"Where did the money on your card come from? With your background, there's no way you can afford it. Now would you rather tell us where you sold the calligraphy painting?" asked Officer Warren with a sharp look, while his partner took out an electric shocker just in case.
