Especially Avery Clark, she looked at Robert Thomson in disbelief, thinking it was all a dream, that Robert had conspired to make it up!
She forced a smile and said, "Quite a fuss you've stirred up! Do you think, by doing this, I'll follow your orders and return my granddaughter to you?"
Robert just sneered, not saying a word, standing aside and waiting.
Soon enough, the doorman ran in: "Madam, the police are here. They said….…" He stuttered and glanced at Robert, "They said there's a criminal hiding here!"
As soon as he finished talking, Avery Clark scoffed, "Look at you, Robert! Did you find someone to set this up? Let them in! I want to see who dares to arrest me!"
As she said this, she defiantly sat down at the card table, a fearless expression on her face.
The doorman looked at his mistress, who nodded blankly, so he ran out and opened the door.
Soon, several real police officers came in and asked upon entering, "Robert, what happened? Have you discovered any criminals?"
