My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Arrested
The connection was lost instantly, shocking the driver. He couldn’t say anything; he could only throw his phone on the side and start the car engine, preparing to leave the basement.

“What happened?” Lucas was confused when he saw the driver look panicked.

“Sir, someone exposed us. We have to leave this place, or the police will capture us too,” the driver answered, hitting the gas pedal harder, avoiding the basement lobby, and heading to the exit route.

“What the hell! Who exposed us? Does anyone know about this plan? Did anyone betray us??!” Lucas asked; his tone was a mix between annoyed and feared. He checked behind them, relieved when he saw no car or person chasing them.

“Fuck! Fuck! I really don’t want to have anything to do with the police in this city. We don’t have any support here. This is not our city!” Henry shouted, panicking as he checked their surroundings. “Dad, we have to avoid this…”

Their car suddenly stopped before Lucas could say something to Henry, shocking them both.

“What the hell? Why you—” Lucas’s voice trailed off as he saw what was happening.

“Sir, I’m sorry, we’re caught too,” the driver said as he turned off the car engine. He couldn’t move; two cars were blocking their way out, and a few police officers were standing there as if they were already waiting for them.

“Okay, calm down. We’re not doing anything wrong here. Tell them we just met my father. Don’t panic! And brush away that panic look from your face! Get it?”

Lucas warned the driver before he rolled down the window as two male police officers approached their car.

“Hello, officer. Good afternoon. Excuse me for asking, but why are you blocking our way? Is something happening in this building?” asked the driver politely, trying to maintain a calm expression.

“Afternoon, sir. I apologize for stopping you here. We need to check your vehicle. We have an incredible reason that your car is suspected of being involved in illegal drug transactions,” the police said casually. Still, his words were enough to shock them all.

“Drugs? What the hell? Who is involved with drug transactions?” Henry couldn’t help but curse, visibly shocked.

Lucas immediately rolled down the window beside him to clarify with the police officer.

“Sir, that’s not true. We just came here to meet my father. He is one of the prominent residents of this building. He lives on the 15th floor; you may contact or talk to him now. He will support me—” Lucas said calmly, but his shaking tone couldn’t hide his anger.

The police officer glanced at Lucas and smiled.

“Sure, Sir. You shouldn’t be too worried. We are here not to make any unreasonable arrests. However, we need to check this car. Please, everyone, step out of the car to allow us to check the car thoroughly…”

While the police questioned Lucas and the others, Bella quietly exited the elevator. She walked quickly toward Bryan’s black SUV, parked near the basement lobby.

Bella knew Stefan wouldn’t quickly send the police to this place. She suspected Bryan, who had dropped her off here and must have known what happened downstairs while her father was talking to her grandpa upstairs.

“Bryan, were you the one who called the police to arrest them all?” she asked. After she sat in the back seat, her eyes stared at the police officers surrounding the car.

She was still amazed when Bryan called her a few minutes ago, telling her that the underground lobby was safe and asking her to come down immediately.

“I’m not the one who did that, ma’am. It was your husband. He knew these people would spy on you in this building, so he planned all this…”

“My husband?” Bella was surprised to learn that. She didn’t know Tristan had been preparing this plan since last night.

Gosh! How sweet he is.

“Yes, ma’am…” Bryan said while slowly driving their car toward the exit.

When their car approached Lucas Donovan’s car, the police directed them to use the other lane to exit the building.

Bella was confused when she saw her father and brother leaving the car. Their faces look tense and pale.

“Bryan, why are the police searching their car?” she asked, glancing at Bryan.

“Boss Tristan reported that they were involved in illegal transactions. I think it’s a drug transaction.”

“WHAT?!” Bella was shocked to hear that. She continued her words while staring at her panicked father and brother. “How could Tristan think that far?”

A faint smile escaped her lips after she could no longer see them. She felt satisfied teaching them both a lesson, especially her father, for hurting her mother.

“Gosh! My husband is so creative. How could he think of that? No wonder the police came so fast to arrest them…” Bella chuckled and texted Tristan.

Bryan glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

“Well, Boss Tristan came up with a wild plan, ma’am…” Bryan wanted to say that, but he held back. He focused on driving out of the building and heading to Quantum Capital.

Bella texted, “Hubby, I know what you did. Thank you for your help (Love Emoji).”

After pressing the send button, she smiled and glanced out the window. The sun shone brightly at noon, and the sky looked clear, just as her mind felt. She was delighted to teach her father and brother a lesson.

She didn’t know how far this situation would involve her father, but she hoped he would leave the city soon.

It didn’t take long; her cell phone vibrated. She saw Tristan reply to her text.

[Tristan] What? Oh, Bryan must have told you about what I did, huh? It’s my duty to protect my pretty wife. No need to say thank you, my dear… (Kiss Emoji) (Grinning Emoji)

[Tristan] So, where are you now?

[Bella] Heading to my office. I will arrive in a few minutes. I’ll call you.

[Tristan] I look forward to hearing your lovely voice, darling.
