Yousef was always high and mighty and had never been treated rudely before, yet he had to listen as the spectators criticized him. His expression immediately darkened.As the head of the Bristow family and the president of the Bristow Group, he was able to do anything he wanted in the state. He did not expect that he would be criticized by so many civilians in a small city like Drunham City.If they were not at the police station and had so many police officers around, the civilians who were gathered around would have thrown rotten eggs and vegetables at Yousef and the others.At that time, people who were just a little wealthier would abuse their power and bully the common folks.That was why Howard's speech about protecting justice would strike a chord with the people. It was because what they lacked the most was a person like Howard to protect their rights.Of course, Yousef understood that. However, his pride as the president of the Bristow Group was not something to be challe
How impudent of the damned Howard!Once Clarke finished his cigarette in frustration, he grabbed his phone as he wanted to call Howard. He wanted to tell Howard to release Yankel right away or he would give him hell.However, right as Clarke unlocked his phone and before he found Yousef's contact, someone pushed his door open aggressively.The sudden sound frightened Clarke so much that he jumped. By the time he regained his senses, he saw his secretary rushing in, looking panicked.Feeling upset, Howard barked, "What the hell is going on? Don't you know how to knock?"The secretary was in a panic, and he was panting hard as he said, "Something happened, sir. Something bad happened. Several people from the Discipline Inspection Commission are here. They said they are here to investigate you. They are already—""What?" Clarke cut the secretary off in shock, so much so that his phone fell on the table.He thought he misheard his secretary, so he asked again while looking nervous a
Cidro frowned after hearing Clarke speak. It seemed like Cidro expected that Clarke would say that. Cidro raised his hand, gesturing to the assistant standing behind him. The assistant immediately understood and handed a thick stack of documents to him.Cidro threw the documents at Clarke, raising his voice as he barked frostily, "Clarke, you're not going to back down until you see the evidence, aren't you? You're still playing dumb with me at this juncture. "I believe you're familiar with the matters recorded on these documents. These are the evidence of the crimes you've committed that we've found. It's all recorded with great detail."Looking at the tall stack of papers scattered on his desk and the information that was recorded on them, Clarke shuddered. Colors drained from his face, and he broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.He knew everything that was written on the documents very well. It was all the illegal things he did. He even forgot about most of them. He did not
The chain of reaction that happened after Clarke fell turned the Yach family into a hot mess.After Cidro and Clarke arrived at the Discipline Inspection Commission, Clarke's phone rang. A frosty glint gleamed in Cidro's eyes once he took a look at the caller ID, and he picked it up right away.Yousef's anxious voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call, saying, "Chief Clarke, the police in Drunham City are still refusing to release Yankel. Also, Howard Mosier, the chief of Drunham City Police Station is right in front of me. Hurry up and call him, tell him to immediately—"Before Yousef finished his sentence, he heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the phone. He was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar voice of a middle-aged man. He quickly glanced at the number on his phone and saw that it was Clarke's number.Only then did Yousef ask icily, "Who are you? Where is Chief Clarke? I'm looking for him. Put him on the phone."Cidro chuckled and said, "You're Yousef B
Rebecca shouted in a panic, "Why are we leaving? Our son is not released yet! What the hell is going on? What did Chief Clarke say?"Yousef looked sullen and barked with annoyance, "Does my word mean nothing now? I asked you to leave, yet you don't want to, so you should just stay here!"Upon saying that, he shook off Rebecca's hand and headed out with his assistant.Rebecca was worried about her precious son, but she could tell that something was off based on Yousef's attitude at that moment. She did not have the guts to make a scene anymore, and she quickly ran after Yousef.When Yousef walked past Liam, Liam suddenly called out to him, "Mr. Yousef Bristow, have you forgotten about our bet? I'm afraid there's something you've yet to do."Yousef stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at Liam. His gaze was incredibly cold as he said, "Liam, I'm not going to leave this be. You'll pay for everything you've done today!"Then, he fixed his hostile gaze on Sunniva and said fr
"Well done. Great job. Oh yes, your brother is the deputy commissioner for the Discipline Inspection Commission, isn't he?" Liam asked.Howard's eyes twinkled as soon as he heard that, and he quickly replied, "Yes! Nevaeh Scott is my brother's daughter. She took her mother's last name. She has a bad temper and has offended many young men and women from eminent families. "She was then sent to Drunham City by my brother as he wanted her to learn from the ground up. I wonder when she will learn to conduct herself properly around others."Liam searched his brain and recalled who Howard was talking about. He asked, "Oh? Nevaeh is your niece?"Howard knew what his niece did, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, Mr. Cole. My niece didn't know who you were and has offended you. I hope you'll forgive her."She has been spoiled since she was a child, and she's impatient, hates the evil to her guts, and is also impulsive. I've given her a stern lecture after what happened."Liam did
The middle-aged man playing with Jovie turned around to look at Liam. A young man handed him a towel respectfully, and he wiped his hands casually. Finally, his calm gaze landed on Liam."So, you're Liam?" the middle-aged man asked, though he sounded certain.Liam frowned, exuding a frosty air slowly. He had a frosty gleam in his eyes as he replied, "That's right. I'm Liam. Who are you?"The man in the black boxing uniform handed the towel to his student. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "Excellent! Let me introduce myself. My name is West, Leon West. You may know me as Mr. West from the state."Liam frowned as a thought formed in his head. Sunniva was telling the truth. The Norris family sent Mr. West to look for him.Was Mr. West from the state?How interesting. Liam did not expect the Norris family to send someone over, much less act so quickly.Right at that moment, Jovie—who played at the side—saw that Liam returned. With a lollipop in her hand, she rushed to
Could it be that Liam committed a terrible crime?Celena became nervous. She was shaking as she asked, "Hello, Mr. Mosier. Why are you here at my home? Do you need our help? Or did my husband do something wrong?"It was not Celena's fault to think that way. The group of men who suddenly barged into the cottage earlier looked like they were not someone anybody would want to mess with. Celena was so frightened by them.Finally, Liam returned after Celena waited for a long time. However, as soon as she stepped out of her home with Jovie in her arms, she saw a police officer standing outside the door, and he was the police chief of Drunham City.It would only be natural for her to suspect that Liam committed a crime, which was why a police officer was at their door.Seeing that Celena misunderstood, Howard cursed in his mind and explained, "Ms. Stone, no, Mrs. Cole, you're mistaken. I'm not here to look for Mr. Cole. I'm here because I escorted him home. We needed Mr. Cole to cooperat
