Chapter 347
At that moment, armed military forces burst into the party hall in an orderly fashion.
Everyone in the room fell into a stunned silence. The armed forces surrounded the area while Cole, accompanied by two armed soldiers, took the stage.
“General Morrison, what are you doing?” Dylan growled at Nathan from the stage. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Nathan remained calm and ignored the question from Dylan.
Oswin approached Nathan with a pleasant smile but spoke sharply, “General Morrison, today
is Dylan’s engagement party. Bringing military forces here in the presence of my esteemed guests is rather disrespectful.”
Nathan remained steely and silent.
Logan strutted over to Nathan with an air of arrogance. “General Morrison, besides disrespecting Mr. Scott, you seem to be overlooking my authority as the chief of police.”
“What do you mean by that?” Nathan asked.
“Whether it’s public defamation or fraud, they fall under civil jurisdiction, which is under my authority. You’re with the Department of Defense but you’re trespassing on my turf?” Logan questioned.
Nathan exchanged a look with Cole, who immediately pulled Sally away from Loretta and slammed her to the ground like a felon. Sally panicked and cried out for help.
“What are you doing? Let Sally go!” screamed Loretta as she desperately hit Cole.
Oswin’s face was flushed with anger as he roared at Nathan,.“Norvania has laws. You can’t arrest people on a whim!”
Logan was even more enraged. “Nathan Morrison! How dare you!”
Yet, Nathan stayed calm and responded, “She’s not a fraud. She’s a spy sent by Dorzania.”
Oswin immediately blanched. His eyes were on Logan, who was just as dumbfounded. The scene descended into chaos.
“Oh god, she’s a spy! That’s a capital crime.”
“She’s a spy sent from Dorzania. No wonder they mobilized the national defense forces.”
“Oswin’s future daughter–in–law is a spy. He’s in big trouble now. He’ll be under investigation
for sure.”
“Yeah, I wonder if he’s in league with the spy.”

Oswin’s face gradually dimmed and he said in a shaky voice, “General Morrison, this is no time for a joke!”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Nathan asked sternly.
Oswin’s cockiness was gone in an instant. He quickly explained, “I–I didn’t know she was a spy. Dylan only met her twice. Please investigate thoroughly.”
Nathan no longer cared to listen to those outsiders. He went over to Loretta, took her shaking hand, and said, “Madam Hoffis, she’s not your granddaughter.”
Loretta felt overwhelmed and didn’t know who to believe. Tears filled her eyes as she saw Sally
being restrained. She was heartbroken and felt so helpless.
“Grandma, save me! I’m Sally, your granddaughter!” Sally cried out.
Loretta was at a loss. She covered her face and sobbed, Zach couldn’t stand the sight of her being so irrational and obstinate. He simply left in shame.
Cole escorted Sally out of the party in front of everyone, accompanied by a group of soldiers.
The gathering of the elite and the wealthy of Norvania ended abruptly on a sour note. The incident hit the headlines immediately.
Betty crumpled to the ground and stared blankly at Mila. It had long been clear to her that Mila, who was sweet, soft–spoken, diligent, and caring, was in stark contrast to her real daughter.
She’d always believed that the DNA test results couldn’t possibly be wrong. Now, she realized that she’d been fooling herself all along.
