Helena could hear the officers entering the home as she hung up the phone. By that point, everyone who had been partying had attempted to clean the home of the drugs, but of course this was impossible. The narcotic test would show everything, even if they managed to get clear of the drugs.
"Jenny Cox and Toni Johnson, you have been apprehended for multiple offenses including intimidation, bribery, and various SEC offenses. You possess the privilege to abstain from speaking. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. And based on appearances, you can undoubtedly afford a competent lawyer. Do you understand the rights that I have just read to you?"
Helena was on the second story of the house and was observing everything. When Jenny and Toni's names were called out, neither of them threw a fit as there were several police agents present. They both came from wealthy households, and this wasn't the first time they had been detained. They did not speak and followed the police agents' orders. The others continued to search the entire home as two policemen handcuffed them. They were authorized to do so because the order called for a search and an arrest.
Helena experienced a sensation of desecration and affront. This retreat was supposed to be her private life but now some officers came and ruined it. The police arrived back a short while later carrying tiny bottles of LSD, cocaine, and a few packages of tablet drugs. Helena was aware that this would occur and that, in addition to her, everyone else in the home would also be arrested.
She would be alright, of course, because she was confident she would test negative for drugs. But the visitors might not be able to leave. In about a minute, everyone had collected and was being led into the police van that had arrived. Because of the large crowd, the officers had to request a second van to transport the drunken kids to the Precinct.
David, Helena's father, was experiencing a brief bout of frustration at the time. He had been contacted by the heads of the Johnson and Cox families, who claimed that his daughter was to blame for the disaster. The families still cared about the family business even though Jenny and Toni weren't precisely in line to take over in the future.
Both of these families learned of the different charges against them, and it was inevitable that some of the details would become public and their families would be embarrassed in front of others. In all the years they had been around, nothing like this had ever occurred.
Of course, these families were aware of what had occurred, and they were furious with Helena for leading them to ruin. The major issue wasn't the court battle, as they were confident that attorneys would help the two young people avoid jail time, but rather the impending public humiliation and decline in share prices, which would cause them to lose wealth and influence while leaving a permanent stain on their reputations.
David spoke to them as calmly as he could. He realized that he too was in the wrong of letting his daughter have free reins and now he was paying the price. He hung up the phone after an hour and went to the balcony that was connected to his study area.
The moon was shining brilliantly and it was already nighttime. Getting his cigar out, he ignited the end. He took a few puffs to settle his anxiety. He assumed the role of family head at a young age and had held a significant amount of authority for a long time. He had seen presidents arrive and go from the US as well as from other nations. He had wielded supreme authority for an extensive period of time and habitually manipulated the system to his benefit, yet, for the first time, the system that their clan had relied on to abuse their power had finally come back to haunt him.
He detested it.
Stolen novel; please report.
"Maya, connect me to Mr. Robin Kashyap." Speaking from the terrace, David yelled.
----------------------------------------
Here in Italy, the morning was still young. Following their embrace, Robin took a shower after having just awoken from his sleep. This day saw the departure of all the beloved relatives and family members, as they set off for their respective homes. All but his parents. Since it was his father's desire to visit places like Switzerland and Austria, his parents had inquired as to whether it would be feasible for them to travel throughout Europe.
His parents were initially reluctant to ask, but after his father had spent some time exploring Tuscany, his passion for travel had returned, and he was compelled to do so.
"Why not, I will send a guide who will help you in your trip. You don't need to take any action. The guide will let you have road trip that travels around Europe." said Robin. Sigret had already got the cue and sent a Ghost Corp to accompany his family. In actuality, his family's protection had been entrusted to a three-man squad.
"We don't need a car. Just a simple travelling experience enough." said his father.
"Nonsense. I let you retire much earlier because I want you to enjoy life. Why deal with trivial matters?" Robin responded. He had requested his father to retire early before traveling to Italy. Naturally, his father initially disagreed, but after Robin sent a sizable sum of money, he agreed. Let's face it, no one enjoys working a 9 to 5 job they aren't passionate about.
His parents were overjoyed with pride at all their boy had accomplished. The family members departed, and a posh Volvo S90 rolled up. When the windows were rolled down, a lady with long black hair, stunning blue eyes, and an oval-shaped face emerged. She was the guide for her parents trip.
They felt much more at ease because the woman could communicate in their tongue. Her accent actually charmed Robin's mother, who struck up a conversation with her. The guide was extremely polite because she was aware that these were the parents of the Supreme Commander. Suddenly, his phone buzzed as Cathrin assisted his parents in loading the luggage into the trunk.
As soon as he saw the caller's name on his phone, he grinned. It was David. He was definitely expecting the call.
"Good Morning, Mr. Kashyap."
"Good evening, Mr. Rockefeller." Robin answered. His remarks implied that Robin already knew where he had called from. He was astounded because usually when someone is greeted, they automatically respond, "Good morning," but in this case it appeared Robin had more awareness.
"I hope things are going well for you." said David.
"Oh, of course, I'm assisting my parents get ready for their big trip to Europe. As you are aware, a person's family is the most important aspect of their existence...." Robin answered. His remarks already contained a subliminal hint about what happened in Hawaii.
"... This asshole.." David mused. He had only suspected Robin was responsible for everything, but he was now absolutely certain.
"....However, I'm confident that you didn't contact me first just to ask about my parents. Right?"
"..."
"..."
"Was it you Mr. Kashyap who sent the police after Helena?"
"Helena? Mr. Rockefeller, I don't comprehend what you're saying. I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making acquaintance with someone by that name." Robin answered.
"Alright. I'll try to be clearer. Did you give the police any documents that implicate some of our families?" David was aware that he wouldn't be able to get the man to talk clearly.
"I still don't understand what you're talking about, Mr. Rockefeller, but yesterday as I was reviewing some of my companies' financial records, I became aware of some irregularities, and like a good citizen, I reported them to the SEC and the police." The most composed response came from Robin.
"..."
"What do you want Mr. Kashyap? I'll be the first to confess that I made a mistake by allowing Helena to send you one of our charming agents. She is still young, though, so I hope you will be able to overlook her offenses and permit us to start over with our relationship." With enthusiasm in his voice, David said.
"I'm just a regular merchant, Mr. Rockefeller. I had a difficult time introducing my first offering to the US market. The CIA even knocked on my door. You don't anticipate that I will accept everything without resistance. Do you?" He was struck back by Robin.
"You realize Mr. Kashyap that if you stay on your current course, you will encounter more difficulties along the road. Right?" Rockefeller wasn't the type of person to take things laying down; he often retaliated.
"Was that a threat?" Robin asked.
"You can interpret it however you want. I couldn't be less concerned."
"Alright. I'll be seeing you in the courtroom." Robin finished his sentence by cutting off the conversation.
