Chapter 530 - THE SHOW ENDS
Chapter 530 – THE SHOW ENDS
Everyone thought that the show finally ended but they didn't expect for Stefan to ask someone to close the doors of the reception hall before other people could go out.
"You don't have to hide from the crowd." Stefan stated with his chilly voice. "Are you planning to abduct my wife during the reception? You must have not seen this coming, right Natsu?"
The guests looked at each other to see if someone unfamiliar has joined them but aside from the soldiers and Stefan's bodyguards, there were the waiters and waitress standing on the side. One of them was smiling evilly.
"I didn't expect you to have discerning eyes." Natsu commented as he walked several steps and sat on the nearest chair. "How have you been?"
"Me? I'm doing fine. In fact, I'm very glad that we've seen each other now." Stefan stepped down of the podium and walked towards Cayenne. "It's a pity that you underestimated my wife.."
"Have I?" he feigned ignorance and just played along. "Now that you've seen me, is there anything you'd like to say?"
"Nothing to you." Stefan replied and looked to the soldiers. "Arrest this man, too. His family committed heinous crimes and he's involved in it but he fled and for some reason, he ended up here."
"We don't have any warrant of arrest Mr. Dumrique." one of the soldiers stated.
"Who says we don't?" Stefan signaled Tristan to call someone and the door suddenly opened. There was a policeman standing there with the documents needed.
Instead of fighting his way, Natsu just shook his head and stood up to get himself handcuffed. "I can't believe I'd lose to you again and again."
"The moment you conspired with Clara and pushed my mother to her death, you already lost to me." Stefan waved his hands and the policeman as well as three other soldiers escorted Natsu out of the reception. "Now, lets' deal with the guests."
They thought they'd be safe from the storm but Stefan swept every crook and cranny of the room to make everyone pay for what they owe.
Those people with close relationship with the Rule family has suffered so much, getting some of their scandals and other embarrassing deeds exposed. Those who weren't close but still invited to make up for the number of guests didn't suffer so much – just few hundreds of thousands of losses.
The only people who were left unscathed were the Sy family, the Rule sisters, and the doctor. Seeing that no one came after him, the doctor looked towards Cayenne in confusion and suddenly, something came to his mind.
"You didn't lose your memories?" the doctor asked in surprise.
"No, I didn't."
"Then, why am I not arrested?"
"Huh? Do you want to?" Cayenne returned the question with a confused face. "You have a child to take care of, don't you?"
"I do but, I also did something bad to you."
Cayenne took a deep breath and reached her hand out to pat the man on his shoulder. "The drug that old Nikko gave you, I was supposed to take on tablet per meal, right?"
"Yes, that was his instruction."
"And I found out that you cut this tablet into four, making me take small portion as much as possible. You didn't really want me to go senile. At the same time, I didn't really take any of those."
"Oh. So, what do you want me to do now? If you want me arrested, I'm really fine with that. I can ask some of my relatives to take my daughter away."
"No, I am not going to do that. Diana and Artemis had been so guilty for imprisoning your child. They never wanted to do it but they couldn't disobey that old man yet. I heard that you're better off as a psychiatrist instead of a surgeon or as a physician."
"Hn. I am supposed to deal with people with unstable mental health but instead he told me to hypnotize people with sound mind and make them suffer. Sometimes, he'd tell me to drug some people or else my daughter would suffer. I never wanted to do any of those. I just want to live with my daughter in peace and yet, my daughter has suffered so much instead."
"Just like what my husband said, she will be fine. You can visit her later. At the same time, I need your help for someone. If you can help her, I'll take this event as something I just dreamed about. I'll let go of this offense as long as you help her."
"I'll do my best." He bowed his head several times before taking a seat to relax his nerves.
As soon as this matter was settled, Stefan dismissed everyone and those that needed to be escorted to jail were sent to jail. Those who needed to visit someone in the hospital were escorted to visit the hospital. Those that needed to be sent home were sent home.
"Do you want to stay over and talk about the aftermath?" Seiji asked Cayenne and Stefan.
"That would be better." Stefan answered, no longer jealous or hostile towards this man in front of him.
"Can we come along?" Artemis asked. She didn't want to go back to the mansion yet. It was a place of her nightmare.
Isabela also looked at these two sisters who chose to fought their grandfather for the benefit of everyone. She felt sorry for them after knowing that their parents were actually sent to an asylum.
"Let's go back home first." Grandpa Sy commented and walked ahead of everyone. He wanted to leave this depressing atmosphere as soon as he can.
The manager of the hotel came and found the ruined items on the floor and many other things that needs to be repaired. She was about to approach Stefan and Cayenne when Elena came to stop her. "Please liquidate the damage inside this room and sent us the bill. This is my card. Also, you don't to continue cooking for the reception. The food that has been cooked, you can just give it away to other visitors."
The manager looked at the card in her hand and the current situation inside the reception hall. Since the other party was willing to pay, she didn't pursue this matter anymore.
"Rich people can really destroy whatever they want." The manager muttered and left.
As for Cayenne, as soon as they got inside the car that Stefan used, she did what she wanted to do all this time. She sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, cuddling him and inhaling his scent to calm her.
"Now, do you still want to leave the house without me?" Stefan asked which made Cayenne feel guilty.
