When Superintendent Donald saw that his savior had arrived, he felt as if his burdens were lifted. He


    was on the verge of tears.


    Following behind James was none other than Hunter.


    After ending the call, James could not help but feel uneasy, so he decided to check things out himself.


    He immediately contacted Hunter, exined the situation, and sought his help to deal with the trouble


    caused by Charles.


    Due to James'' previous harsh remarks about him, Hunter was still seething with anger and initially did


    not want to get involved.


    However, upon hearing that Be and Justin had stepped in to mediate, he could not miss the chance


    to see them falter, so he hurried over excitedly.


    Be clenched her teeth tightly, fury zing in her eyes.


    This despicable, shameless bastard reminded her instantly of Judge ude Frollo from "The


    Hunchback of Notre-Dame".


    "Mr. Iverson, I''m surprised you brought him as your attorney."


    With a casual sneer, Justin asked, "Surely you''re not ignorant of the rtionship between Hunter and


    Steven Lovett?"


    "I''m well aware of it. But why does it matter?"


    With a mischievous smirk, James'' eyes shed with deceit. "Well, Hunter Lovett is a well-known top


    lawyer. What''s wrong with hiring the best attorney to defend my brother?"


    "Hunter is Steven Lovett''s brother. Instead of helping his sibling, he betrays his family to side with the


    enemy, seeking to imprison his younger brother. What do you call a person like that? Is he recognizing


    the enemy or whoever provides him with the most advantage for him as his family? Justin''s eyes were


    cold and mocking, yet strikingly handsome.


    Hunter red bitterly at Justin, his face adopting a mocking servility. "Oh, Mr. Salvador, it''s truly


    ttering for a mere attorney like me to be the target of your personal attacks. I only represent those


    who offer the right conditions. Is it really necessary for you to get so worked up and morally judge me?


    You''re making my job as an attorney very difficult. Now, ording to your logic, shouldn''t my


    colleagues who defend murderers get executed, too?"


    Then, with a feigned look of astonishment, he blinked and added, "Mr. Salvador, you seem so worried.


    Is it because you haven''t found apetent attorney for Steven? What a predicament this has


    be. If I had known, I would''ve declined Mr. Iverson''s offer!"


    Be was so angry that her veins were pulsing on her forehead.


    If they were not in the police station, she would have already knocked Hunter''s teeth out and left him in


    need of hospitalization, just like Charles.


    "I don''t need to find an attorney for Steven. Why would an innocent man need one?"


    Hunter had hoped his provocations would anger Justin. However, Justin responded with a calm smile,


    remainingposed. "And even if I were looking for one, it wouldn''t be you. Even wild animals protect


    their young. But youck even basic morals-worse than an animal. You''d suit better with Mr. Iverson.


    After all, like attracts like."


    "Pfft... Well said!" Be pped loudly for her man,ughing with her shoulders shaking.


    On the other hand, Superintendent Donald could not find it in himself tough. He was shivering in the


    corner like a quail.


    The room was so tense that a single spark could blow the roof off.


    "Justin! Stop spewing nonsense already!"


    James was furious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Let me be clear. The Iversons will never settle with you


    guys for putting Charles through so much suffering. Aren''t you nning to absolve Steven, shoulder


    the me yourself, and then use your status as a tycoon to diminish the seriousness of the matter?


    Well, not on my watch!"


    Hunter gently patted his shoulder, giving him a look that urged him to remain calm and avoid saying


    unnecessary things that may reveal loopholes.


    He then moved a step closer to Superintendent Donald and remarked with a casual smile,


    "Superintendent Donald, it seems the efficiency of your police officers is somewhatcking. We''ve been


    talking to Mr. Salvador and Ms. Thompson for a while now. Why haven''t theypleted such simple


    procedures yet?"


    Superintendent Donald was confused. "Huh?"

    James, too, was puzzled by the situation.


    Just then, there was a knock on the door.


    A police officer entered, handing a document to Superintendent Donald.


    What he said next caused Justin and Be''s expressions to shift dramatically.


    "Sir, this is Steven Lovett''s confession and plea agreement. He has signed and left his fingerprint on it."
