From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 816: 409 Main House_1

Jayden Moore brandished the sword in his hand, his eyes filled with fury.

“Jayden Moore, back down,” Ricky Wood barked.

“Why should they get to arrest us? I refuse to accept it.” The young man raised his chin defiantly.

“Because they are the police.”

“Even the police need evidence. If they arrest people without discerning right from wrong, they’re bad cops. Why should I go with them?”

“Evidence? The Rintos’ wrongdoing is glaring, causing widespread hatred. Everyone knows, what more evidence is needed?”

“You defame people without proof!” The young man jumped up in anger, frustrated enough to want to bite his adversary dead.

Belen Philbert took a step back, gesturing for her subordinates to step forward.

“Dare to resist, and your crime will be upgraded.”

Ricky Wood grabbed Jayden Moore’s shoulder, barked out quietly, “Hold off, haven’t you caused enough trouble?”

Jayden Moore’s hand holding the sword gradually lowered.

The sword fell to the ground.

Pandawa Rinto tried his best to seem inconspicuous.

Just then, Belen Philbert asked, “Who is Pandawa Rinto?”

Pandawa Rinto shuddered, turned around and tried to run.

The next moment, he was held back by the police, his arms locked behind him.

Pandawa Rinto yelped, “It’s a mistake, officer, I’ve never done anything wrong, please don’t arrest me.”

Belen Philbert said coldly, “Prostitution and assault, you’ve hurt so many innocent young ladies, do you think you can run away?”

Pandawa Rinto, terrified nearly to incontinence, realized he had committed quite a few misdeeds in the past under the protection of the Rinto family. He never feared the consequences, confident that the Rinto family would always be there to shield him. He never thought the Rinto family would fall, nor that his own sins would be remembered by someone else.

Feeling the tension, Gonzales Rinto involuntarily took a step back. Belen Philbert glanced at him, causing Gonzales to shiver, wishing he could run away.

However, Belen Philbert simply gave him a faint look before shifting her attention away.

Gonzales Rinto secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He prided himself on being more discreet, and he believed it would not be easy for anyone to find incriminating evidence against him.

As for Desta Rinto, he was a simple man and was unlikely to be involved.

It occurred to him, amid his anxiety, that these people had come prepared. They must be ready to present evidence, and they would not arrest people at random.

As the police rushed towards him, Ricky Wood calmly said, “No need to arrest me, I will go voluntarily.”

Belen Philbert gestured, “Master Wood is a wise man, and he won’t run away. Let’s give him some dignity.”

Just then, a woman’s voice came from the outside, “Officer, please wait.”

All the people present turned their heads simultaneously.

Pandawa Rinto’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly called out, “Auntie Guele, Auntie Guele, help me.”@@novelbin@@

The newcomer was Guele Rinto.

Squinting her eyes, Belen Philbert said, “Miss Guele?”

Guele Rinto was clearly dressed up for the occasion, wearing a vibrant red dress that was bold and passionate, a bit inappropriate given the crisis the Rinto family was facing that day.

“Officer, I have some domestic affairs to handle. It won’t take much of your time. Please grant me this favor.”

Belen Philbert raised an eyebrow, glanced at her watch, and said, “Ten minutes.”

“Butler, please invite the officer to the side for a moment and bring out the family’s treasured Sencha Tea to entertain our honored guest. We must not neglect the Rinto family’s etiquette,” Guele Rinto casually ordered, acting like the master of the Rinto house.

Butler Rinto glanced at her, ordering the servants to prepare the tea without lifting his head.

Belen Philbert walked to the side room, from where she had a full view of the living room.

Guele Rinto sat down in the main seat, glancing at Ricky Wood with a smile, “Master Wood, you seem much more haggard than you were just a few hours ago.”

Ricky Wood frowned, “Guele, what are you up to?”

Guele elegantly crossed her legs, taking a porcelain tea cup from a servant. All the teapots in the Rinto family were antiques, and this Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain set alone was worth a fortune.

Guele lifted the lid of the tea, swirling the tea mist, and said with a smile, “Sencha Tea, this was my uncle’s favorite tea. He bought Jade Green Mountain especially for it, hired thousands of tea workers solely for picking and making tea. Only the Rinto family can get the best Sencha Tea.”

Belen Philbert took a sip of the tea, thinking to herself that Pindo Rinto really knew how to enjoy life.

The other officers who had come with her picked up their tea cups subconsciously when they heard Guele’s words.

It seemed a shame not to drink it.

Guele drank a bit, her eyes closing in satisfaction.

“My uncle passed away thirteen years ago. In these thirteen years, the Rinto family has experienced decline and resurgence. Now, we are facing another crisis. As members of the Rinto family, we should unite to weather this storm rather than fight each other. Infighting will only expedite our decline and waste my uncle’s painstaking efforts. Master Wood, isn’t that what you think too?”
