Audrey Macy apologized to Quinn Ortega, but he didn’t blame her, taking full responsibility himself. Though she wanted to stay and assist, Quinn Ortega gently urged her to leave.

“Quinn Ortega, please help me,” Audrey Macy cried, grabbing Quinn Ortega’s hand.
Four police officers entered, brandishing arrest warrants.
“Audrey Macy, you are under arrest for fraud, kidnapping, and murder. Please come with us to the police station for questioning.
Audrey Macy clung to Quinn Ortega, shaking her head. “I didn’t do any of that. Quinn, I’m being framed.”
Two officers approached with handcuffs, and Quinn Ortega instinctively stepped in front of Audrey Macy.
“Officers, is there a mistake? Audrey Macy wouldn’t do something like this.”
The officers looked at Quinn Ortega with disdain and held up the arrest warrant. “This is an arrest warrant. We are acting in accordance with the law. Please do not obstruct justice.”
“Furthermore, Ortega Corporation is under investigation for allegedly assisting an overseas criminal organization with money laundering. Mr. Quinn Ortega, we need you to come with us as well.”
Quinn Ortega frowned. “You must be mistaken. Our company has always paid its taxes in accordance with the law. How could we be involved in money laundering?”
The officers exchanged a glance with Audrey Macy and said, “You should ask the lady behind you. She’s the financial head of your company, correct? We have found significant foreign transactions in your company over the past year, and those overseas accounts are linked to fraud organizations.”
Quinn Ortega turned to look at Audrey Macy.

“Any explanations can be given at the police station.’
Both Quinn Ortega and Audrey Macy were taken away, and everyone in the finance department was detained.
