Chapter 1165
“Bella, since you’re talking about ajfuture with me, does that mean that you are happy to marry me?” Justin let out a bad-boy smile and novelbin
gave her cheek a squeeze.
Bella was stubborn. “No. I didn’t say I was going to marry you. Besides
“That was not a proposal,’ Bella thought to herself.
Ralph was faced with a tricky situation at the station.
The police were past the legal limit for holding Shannon in custody. Ralph’s bosses were putting pressure on Ralph to let Salvador Corporation bail Shannon out in the next two hours.
Time passed.
Hunter Lovett met with Shannon in the interrogation room and drew
close to Ralph’s desk. He took a seat and crossed his legs arrogantly.
Lifting his chin, Hunter said with a mocking smile, “Captain
Thompson, I know you want to get even for your sister, but everybody is equal in the eyes of the law. Don’t try to accuse the innocent. Don’t
expect to make everything so personal. In fact, you’re showing your
inadequacy to act accordingly as a police officer. You’re green. Compared to your veteran officers, you have so much to learn.”
“So you’re saying the person in there is innocent?”
Raising his brow, Ralph stared intently at Hunter’s smug face. “Mr. Lovett, you are too blind to see the facts right in front of you.”
“You!”
While enraged, Hunter kept himself from pounding the table to stay in character. He hissed through clenched teeth, “Captain Thompson, don’t think I won’t do anything to you because you’re Chairman Thompson’s son. I can sue you for the personal attack.”
“Go on then if you dare,” Ralph sneered. He had seen through the
man’s tendency to pick on the weak.
The Lovett brothers were so different. Steven was a great guy, but
Hunter turned out to be a jerk.
“Hmph! Stop the pointless resistance, Captain Thompson.”
Hunter sunk his back into his seat and arrogantly looked at the time. There’s two hours left on the clock. What’s the point of holding her? The outcome will not change. What can a measly police officer do?
“Why don’t you just call it quits and go back to being an heir? You
might be of better use to society.”
“Why should I listen to you?”
Ralph glared at Hunter’s sickening face and replied, “Even if I have
two hours, Shannon has to stay here until the very end.”
Hunter shrugged. “Alright then. It won’t stop me from going back
home to watch my show tonight.”
Despite his blank face, Ralph clenched his fists.
Fuck!
He prayed for a miracle.
A female officer hurried over.
“Captain Thompson, we have a confession.”
“A confession? Which case?”
“Shannon’s case. He said that Shannon got the drugs from him. He
has proof to show that Shannon was using.”
Ralph’s eyes lit up.
Hunter’s breath hitched as shock washed over him.
“What’s his name?”
Simon entered with a faint smile.
