Chapter 1519 Infuriated
Tamia had never faced such criticisms before. Her shaky hands clung to the chair for support as her face darkened. Too enraged to speak, she could only gasp for breaths.
Given her status, common citizens would never have dared to condemn her so openly. Back when everyone was considered equal, she was even haughty and arrogant.
Raised in an aristocratic family, Tamia held firm classist beliefs and never imagined that such lowly laborers had any right to judge her. However, anyone could now openly voice their disdain for the Montclair family, and the criticisms directed at Tamia were particularly scathing.
They branded her a vicious old woman sitting pretty. If she could stoop to drugging another, she was surely capable of even worse.
As Tamia read through the comments, her expression shifted drastically. Taking a deep breath, she forcibly steadied herself and sent a message to Alfred at the airport. "Get on the plane immediately, and don't contact anyone. Someone will meet you there.
"Keep a low profile abroad until I summon you back. Don't return to Hawford anytime soon. If you receive calls from unfamiliar numbers, do not answer any of them."
Alfred was dumbfounded by the message as he checked in at the airport. He knew Tamia wanted him out of the country, but there was no reason to rush him like that. If he didn't know better, he might suspect that something terrible had happened.
With no time to ponder, Alfred grabbed his ticket and headed toward the customs. At that moment, two officers reached out to stop him and flashed their badges.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Are you Mr. Alfred Montclair? We're from the Department of Special Affairs. We've received a public report and need you to come with us for further investigation." The officers stated their purpose and swiftly seized hold of Alfred's shoulders.
Alfred barely had the time to react, let alone reply to Tamia's message. He was then taken away under the crowd's watchful eyes.
As the Montclair family's scoundrel, Alfred instinctively suspected that Landon was trying to make him a scapegoat. They had different mothers, after all, and Alfred knew how scheming Tamia could be.
No wonder she was eager to send him away-it turned out they were trying to shift all the blame onto him!
At that realization, Alfred promptly shouted, "You're looking for evidence of the Montclairs' crimes, aren't you? I know everything!"
To a gambler, nothing was more important than freedom. No one questioned Alfred's obsession with gambling, but it stemmed from the dismal life he led within the Montcliar family. While Tamia might present herself well, behind that exterior was a contrasting truth.
Alfred wasn't a complete fool. The arrival of the officers from the Department of Special Affairs could only mean one thing-it was related to the Whitman family's incident. In that moment, he knew he had to leverage his own worth to save himself.
The officers exchanged knowing glances, clearly anticipating his response. True to Wynter's words, the Montclair family's sons were incompetent and valued their lives above all else.
Meanwhile, Tamia never imagined that Alfred would be caught. Looking at the time, she assumed he had boarded the plane. But as she scrolled through the criticisms online, her anxiety deepened.
In a fit of frustration, she snapped at Ophelia, "Noah has planned to divorce you long ago and transferred his shares right under your nose! How could you have missed this? Why did you even go through with the divorce?"
