“You! How dare you speak to me like that?”


    Bea had never been spoken to in such an impatient and disrespectful manner by a stranger before.


    The humiliation made her chest


    tremble with anger.


    Tve been very polite to you. You’ve been demanding to see the chief since you walked in. Do you think


    anyone can just see him? You’re beingpletely unreasonable.”


    “You…” Bea pointed at the person in front of her, her hand shaking.


    “This is a police station, not a ce for you to throw a tantrum.”


    Bea was dizzy with rage.


    Colby raised a hand to stop the officer. He said calmly. “We should always treat the elderly with


    respect.”


    “Sorry, my attitude was inappropriate.”


    A smile yed on Colby’s lips, “If Bea wants to see your chief, then bring him here.”


    “Yes, Mr. Colby, I’ll call the chief right away.”


    The officer quickly went out to make the call, and soon came back in, saying, “Mr. Colby, our Chief said


    he will be here soon, please wait a moment.”


    Bea’s expression changed at this scene. This was Colby’s way of showing her that she had less


    influence here in Devonport than him. She mmed the table in anger, “Well, well, Derick! To think he


    would disrespect me like this. Has he forgotten the days when he was just a small officer? He was


    eager to please me, and I couldn’t be bothered to see him.”


    Ca tried to calm Bea down, saying, “Grandma Bea, please calm down. When Officer Derick arrives,


    you can give him a piece of your mind then.”


    Bea’s anger subsided a bit at Ca’s words.


    she


    Sophie, watching from the side, sneered internally. Bea had always been pampered and spoiled. She


    probably didn’t even know the current situation in Devonport.


    Indeed, Derick used to be a small officer who needed Bea’s favor, but now he was the Chief, not the


    officer of the past. How could he possibly give Bea any respect?


    Sure enough, Officer Derick arrived shortly after.


    The moment he saw Colby, he immediately approached, smiling, “I heard Mr. Colby wanted to see me,


    so I came right away. Whatever you need, I’ll do my best to assist

    Colby nced at Bea not far away, and Officer Derick immediately understood. His expression


    changed slightly, and he said seriously, “Mrs. Bea, you wanted to see me?”


    Bea looked Officer Derick up and down, saying coldly, “Officer Derick, you carry quite the attitude. I had


    someone call for you, and you couldn’t be bothered.”


    Officer Derick was clearly displeased with Bea’s attitude, but since Colby was there, he didn’t make it


    too obvious He asked in return, “Mrs. Bea, what can I do for you?”


    Bea stood up angrily and said, “My grandson was brought in by your officers, and you’re asking if


    there’s a problem? Release James immediately


    Officer Derick replied, “So, it’s about this matter. We’re just following the rules.”
