Chapter 433 Ethan Arrived
“Understood!” The butler nodded and immediately headed downstairs.
By now, someone had already called the police station to report the situation.
Standing before Raven, the butler relayed Estella’s message with a condescending air, as if he were doing her a favor But just as the butler assumed Raven would grovel to become a lackey for the Ortega family, she suddenly chuckled. She was thinking, ‘An A–Level invitation? Becoming Ethan’s student? Is that supposed to impress me?”
The butler noticed the subtle change in Raven’s expression, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Fixing his gaze on her, he demanded, “Miss Valor, what do you mean by this?”
“Ms. Ortega is offering you a chance to save yourself. Keep being stubborn, and when the police get here, you’ll be dragged straight to prison,” he warned, his tone sharp. “And let me remind you, in our Sunset Empire, murder is a serious crime.”
Raven let out a soft laugh, her calm demeanor only fueling the butler’s frustration. “Go back and tell Estella Ortega, thanks for the offer, but I’m not interested.”
The butler was utterly stunned by Raven’s unwavering defiance.
“Fine, fine! I hope you won’t regret this decision, Miss Valor,” he spat, his voice laced with anger.
With a huff of frustration, he spun on his heel and stormed away.
Almost as the butler turned to leave, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the banquet hall.
A group of men dressed in the distinctive uniforms of the Sunset Empire police station strode in with an air of authority. Leading them was a tall, middle–aged man with a neatly trimmed mustache–Antonio Duran, the chief of Bronson City’s police station.
Antonio had received a call from Henry earlier and had arrived at the Ortega family’s villa ahead of time.
However, he and his team had waited outside, holding back until Henry gave the signal.
Moments ago, Henry sent him a message, and Antonio led his men inside without hesitation.
“Captain Duran!” The crowd at the entrance quickly parted, greeting Antonio with enthusiasm and respect.
Darren stepped forward, pointing an accusatory finger at Raven right in front of Antonio. “Captain Duran, she’s the criminal! She committed premeditated murder. Arrest her now!”
Antonio turned his sharp gaze toward Raven, his expression hardening. “I am Antonio Duran, head of Broson City’s police
station.
“Raven Valor, you are hereby accused of the deliberate murder of Ms. Rickard, the Lunshire head. Come with us immediately!
“I advise you not to resist. If you do, I am authorized to shoot you on the spot!”
From the moment he laid eyes on Raven, Antonio felt an instant wave of dislike for her.
Although most of the people here had Torenian features, Raven’s striking appearance and composed demeanor set her apart. She looked more like someone from Vyrdenia.
Antonio came from a long line of Sunset Empire officials, all of whom harbored a deep–seated disdain for Vyrdenian
citizens.
To him, Vyrdenian citizens were nothing more than worthless scum, meant to be trampled underfoot by the Sunset Empire
And now, Raven–a supposed criminal–stood before him. Naturally, his tone carried the arrogance of someone who believed himself superior.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, he barked, “Take her away!”
As the officers closed in on her with hostility, Raven remained calm, her expression unchanging.
She fixed her cold gaze on Antonio and spoke with quiet defiance, “Is this how the head of the pr Arresting people without evidence? What kind of justice is that?”
station operates?
“Justice? You dare talk about justice after committing murder on Sunset Empire soil? A Vyrdenian like you should know your place–groveling at my feet, not questioning me!” Antonio’s disdain for Raven deepened, his voice dripping with contempt.
To him, she was nothing more than a lowly Vyrdenian citizen–a wretched creature who had no right to speak of justice in his presence.
He waved at his subordinates. “What are you waiting for? Take her to the police station for questioning immediately!“.

Chapter 433 Ethan Arrived
Ellie and John exchanged cold, smug smiles, clearly enjoying Raven’s predicament.
They knew that if Raven was taken to the police station, she’d face brutal interrogation.
Even if she managed to avoid a murder conviction, she’d still be lucky to escape unscathed.
Raven’s eyes glinted with icy resolve as she watched the Sunset Empire officers approach her with handcuffs in hand. Just as she was about to make her move, a sudden commotion erupted at the entrance. “What’s going on? Why is it so lively here?”
The crowd turned toward the doorway, their faces shifting to shock and disbelief as they saw who had arrived. They looked at each other in shock and exclaimed, “It’s Mr. Reed?”
Walking into the banquet hall with several assistants was none other than Ethan, the president of the World Medical Conference.
