Axel''s eyes narrowed sharply. "I''m here under official orders. The prosecutor''s office has authorized the


    arrest of Councilman Savoy for interrogation. Please do not interfere with the execution of judicial


    duties! "We haven''t been notified of any such order. We know only to keep unauthorized individuals


    out. None of them shall set foot in here!" The bodyguard responded with growing sternness.

    Axel''s lips curled into a mocking smile, his gaze icy. "Are you aware that you''re already breaking the


    law?"


    Unintimidated and confident in their powerful backing, the bodyguards disregarded Axel.


    "Heh, given how you''re dressed, you don''t look like you''re officially dispatched. If you''re so concerned


    about us making an arrest, it suggests only one thing. You''re with the Iverson Group." Axel sneered.


    The bodyguard became visibly flustered.


    Before stepping in, Lance Iverson had clearly instructed them not to mention the Iverson name, no


    matter what.


    Their job was to dy anyone from entering to allow the Iversons more time to manage the situation. If


    the authorities were to take Theodore into custody, it would mean a definite and irreversible downfall for


    him.


    Therefore, they stubbornly insisted, "No! We''re not from the Iverson Group! We''re here to maintain


    order at this venue on behalf of Mayor Solloway!"


    "Oh? Are you with Mayor Solloway? Why don''t I recognize any of you then?"


    Suddenly, a calm voice, followed by footsteps, drew everyone''s attention.


    The person who came was none other than the Chief Secretary from Mayor Solloway''s office, followed


    by a group of personnel from the Solloway family.


    The Iverson family''s bodyguards were visibly mortified and embarrassed.


    "You really have some nerve, huh? How dare you impersonate being an employee of the Solloway


    family right under Mayor Solloway''s watch and attempt to frame him?"


    The secretary scolded them sternly but then turned to Axel with a pleasant smile. "Prosecutor


    Thompson, I think you should issue another arrest warrant to detain these individuals who are


    obstructing official duties under unknown orders, so we can thoroughly interrogate them and clear Mr.


    Mayor''s name."


    Axel nodded lightly. "I''ll follow through on this matter."


    "That''s good to hear. It''s important to note that our mayor wholeheartedly backs organizational


    directives and will actively support and cooperate with the efforts of the prosecutorial staff." The


    secretary added, skillfully boosting his boss''s image.


    The Iverson representatives were thoroughly intimidated, with none daring to interfere any further.


    "Thank you for your cooperation."


    Axel moved swiftly, leading his team decisively toward the event venue.


    Just as they entered, the secretary discreetly moved to a corner to make a quick phone call.


    Meanwhile, Justin, attempting to kiss Be, was interrupted by his ringing phone.


    "Stop it... Answer the phone." Be''s cheeks turned pink, her hands resting on his front, feeling the


    well-defined contours of his chest muscles through the meticulously tidy shirt. Her mind was wandering


    off. As she was distracted, Justin deepened his gaze, seized the moment, pinched her chin, and


    pecked her lips, then switched the phone to speaker mode.


    The Chief Secretary''s voice came through. "Mr. Salvador, I''vepleted the task you assigned me.


    Prosecutor Thompson has sessfully led his team inside the venue."


    "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Chad."


    Suddenly, Justin pressed his broad and sturdy frame against Be, pinning her against the car window.


    In the next second, he delivered an intense, unrestrained kiss, pressing firmly against her cherry-red


    lips.


    He was naturally not one to be satisfied with mere surface-level affections. His voracious desire was


    fully apparent.


    As Be returned the passionate kiss, her eyes glistening with emotion, she instinctively wrapped her


    arms around Justin''s neck.


    Despite her response, she was extremely surprised inside.


    She had clearly seen everything happening in the hall through the surveince cameras.


    Was the Chief Secretary to Mayor Solloway actually Justin''s spy?!


    This was a shocking revtion!


    Secretary Chad responded with a respectful smile. "Mr. Salvador, you''re being too nice. It is my honor


    to handle any task within my capabilities for you. Besides, helping you also means helping Mayor


    Solloway. After all, he has been looking forward to witnessing today''s significant events."
