After meeting with her mother, Camila arrived at the police station.
The entrance to the station was crowded with many people, mostly family members, and a cacophony of crying and shouting filled the air.
Camila took her mother’s hand and squeezed through the crowd. She learned that early in the morning, the financial crimes unit had raided the company and brought all the employees to the police station. No one knew the current situation.
After looking around for a while, Camila finally found her grandmother and uncle.
Upon seeing them, her grandmother was particularly emotional. “What’s going on? What happened to Drew?” Her grandmother’s eyes were full of tears as she asked with a trembling voice.
Claire wrapped her arms around her shoulders, comforting her, “Mom, don’t worry too much. We’ll figure out what’s going on.”
Her grandmother’s emotions grew more intense, and she even pointed at the entrance of the police station, cursing.
“This damn Capital Solutions! They scam me out of $2000,000, and now Drew has been detained. Why doesn’t York get what he deserves!”
Camila was stunned, asking, “Two million? Didn’t Drew get the money back?”
Her grandmother suddenly collapsed to the ground as her legs gave way.
Camila, Claire, and Riley hurriedly helped her grandmother to a nearby bench to rest.
“What exactly is going on!” Camila asked her uncle urgently.
Riley stuttered, and his face was pale. “I… we were tempted by high interest rates, receiving thousands every month. We couldn’t give it up…”
“You wanted the interest, but he was after your principal!” Camila was both angry and speechless. “Wait, what about the $700,000 Drew gave to mom?”
“Borrowed from the company…” her uncle murmured quietly.
“Borrowed?” Camila was so angry she was lost for words. “What were you all thinking!”
“The company’s gone under, so we don’t have to pay it back, right?” her aunt chimed in.
Camila, holding her forehead, said sternly, “Don’t you all have any sense

Her grandmother and aunt looked at each other, and the tears began to flow. “What are we going to do now…”
Her uncle bowed his head in silence.

The officer’s voice echoed at the entrance of the police station, stirring up the crowd of family members.
Cries broke out, and a barrage of voices surged towards the officer.
“My child didn’t know anything. Can you let him go?”
“My daughter is just a receptionist, started less than a month ago. She’s only 20 years old!”
“Officer, can I see my child, please?”
The officer spoke loudly, “We will clarify everything. Some employees will be released after their statements are recorded.”
Hearing the officer’s words, the families waiting at the entrance felt slightly reassured.
“At least we know some employees will be released soon. That’s somewhat good news,” Claire said to her brother.
Riley nodded. All the families continued to wait at the entrance for further updates from the police.
Time seemed to stretch indefinitely.
