Zachary could only wait anxiously and helplessly outside. After all, he could do nothing at the police station.
Daniel saw Yvette with her eyes closed just as he entered the istion room. close found her even more beautiful un than in the photos. He scrutinized her sharply, filled with curiosity.
He thought. She heard mee in, yet she remains so calm andposed. With such a mindset, she’s indeed not easy to deal with. No wonder Ethan lost so badly!
Daniel sat opposite Yvette, looking posing with two police officers by his side. “Yvette, do you think staying silent will you out of this? My son is in the hospital because of you, with a concussion that will affect his future. With the injuries he
get sustained, you’ll be in jail for years,” he said.
Yvette slowly opened her eyes, casually ncing at Daniel with a noticeable look of disdain and arrogance.
Provoked by such a look, Daniel couldn’t help but stand up and m the table. The sound was so loud that even Zachary outside heard it.
He shouted, “Yvette, stop pretending to be deaf and dumb! It’s useless. No one can save you. If your dad thinks he can get you out of the police station alone, he’s dreaming. Confess honestly, and I’ll consider being lenient
Yvette paused and asked, “What do you want to hear from me? That your son couldn’t handle losing 100 million dors? Or that he has such poor mental resilience that he coughed up blood from anger?”
Seeing Yvette remain stubborn and unyielding, Daniel became furious. Just as he was about to say something, a knock on the door interrupted him. Holding back his anger, he shouted, “Come in!”
A young officer entered and walked directly to Daniel, whispering. There’s a man named Simon outside. He says. The officer nced at Daniel’s displeased face and braced himself to continue, “He says he’s here to bail out Yvette.
Daniel’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the officer who brought the news. “Who did you say? Simon? Which
Simon
Startled by Daniel’s ferocious expression, the officer took an involuntary step back. His voice trembling as he repeated himself, barely louder than a whisper. “It’s Argrol University’s president, Simon Sundend”
In the confined istion room, everyone could hear it clearly, even though the sound was very low.
The young officer had almost gotten into Argrol University but missed it by a few points. Back then, he was so eager to get in that he nearly put up a photo of Simon and prayed to it daily. So, when Simon entered the police station, he recognized him immediately.
In truth, Daniel already knew who it was when he heard the name Simon, but he just didn’t want to believe it.
Yvette must have some serious connections if even Simon is stepping in to bail her out! That old geezer is a significant figure in the education sector, not just in Seacrity but nationwide. If he insists on bailing her out, it won’t be easy to handle. Thinking that, Daniel red frustratedly at Yvette, who sat with her legs crossed and a faint, mocking smile. With Argrol University’s president backing her, no wonder she’s so confident,
Since Simon showed up, Daniel couldn’t ignore him. “Yvette, don’t think Simon’s arrival will change anything. Nobody can save you be warned.
Yvette’s fingers stopped tapping on the table. She looked at Daniel, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She chuckled softly and asked, “Really?
Furious, Daniel mmed the door and left. The two police officers finally realized Yvette was more difficult to handle than they had thought. L, who had threatened her earlier, felt deted and didn’t dare to say anything else.
In the police station lobby, Zachary was surprised to see Simon arrive. Why is he here at this time? he wondered.
When Zachary learned that Simon was there to bail out Yvette, he was even more surprised. But after the shock, he felt a bit more confident.
Simon was different from the typical businessman. His social status and influence are formidable. With him speaking up, no matter how angry Daniel was, he had to think twice.
Stepping out the door, Daniel quickly adjusted his sullen expression and put on a fake smile. Seeing Simon seated in the distance, he strode over with an attitude much better than when he faced Zachary,
“Mr. Sundend, what brings you here? If you had informed me in advance, I would have personally arranged a banquet for you at Sky Nimbus, Daniel asked knowingly, and Simon was well aware of itText property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Simon looked down on Daniel Under Daniel’s control, Seacrity was politically and socially chaotic. Only after Wyatt took office did Seacrity begin to develop and achieve its current state. Daniel then no longer dared to act recklessly. Over the years, Simon had ignored all the messages Daniel passed over.
Regarding Yvette’s case. Simon didn’t jump to conclusions like Zachary, ming everything on her. He knew Ethan’s character well. From the first time he met Yvette, he could tell she wasn’t someone who caused trouble unless provoked. She wouldn’t start conflicts on her own.
Simon showed no reaction to Daniel’s enthusiasm. With a stern face, he got straight to the point. “I wonder what mistake Yvette has made for the police to arrest her at school and for you toe to the station to interrogate her personally.”
Daniel’s outstretched hand hung in mid-air awkwardly. This old geezer is indeed pushing his luck! he scolded inwardly. Since Simon didn’t show him any respect, Daniel saw no reason to be polite. As he spoke, he casually withdrew his hand. “You might not know it, but Yvette argued with my son at Sky Nimbus yesterday, causing him to cough up blood. He’s still in the hospital, diagnosed with a concussion.”
Simon pursed his lips and frowned, thinking, Ethan has a concussion? How could a grown man be beaten into a concussion by a young girl? Simon didn’t believe a word Daniel said..
“Are there any witnesses or evidence? How can you arrest someone based solely on Ethan’s one-sided story without even questioning her? Simon questioned
Zachary also wondered how Yvette managed to give Ethan a concussion. There are doubts everywhere from the beginning. Even if Yvette won 100 million dors from Ethan, how did Ethan get a concussion? It doesn’t make sense!’ he thought.
“Mr. Sundend is right. You need evidence to arrest someone. How exactly did my daughter give Ethan a concussion? Don’t you think you should exin that?” Zachary said.
Daniel’s expression briefly faltered, but he quickly put on a stern face and imed formally, “Yesterday, at Sky Nimbus, my son had a bet with Yvette. Losing 100 million dors was one thing, but Yvette was arrogant and verbally abusive. In a fit of anger, Ethan fainted and hit his head on the table, resulting in a concussion. Shouldn’t Yvette be held responsible?”
Daniel knew the reason was embarrassing, but he had no choice. Things had reached the point where releasing her easily would cost him his dignity, and he couldn’t predict Ethan’s reaction in the hospital.
Simon had been teaching for many years, and it was the first time he felt so angry that he wanted to curse. He fumed inwardly. ‘Daniel dared to have the police arrest someone at school for this baseless reason? Intentional assault? That’spletely unreasonable!
“Are you arresting someone based on this reason? Do you think it’s justified? Yvette is a student at Argrol University, and as the president, I have to protect my students. You’ve arrested her, and now I’m here to bail her out through the proper channels. Why won’t the police release her?” Simon asked
Daniel righteously dered, “It’s not up to me whether to release her or not. That’s for Mr. Quigley to decide. Unfortunately, he’s out at a meeting and won’t return for a few hours. Yvette will have to endure a bit longer in the istion room.”
Daniel
Zachary was surprised that Daniel showed no respect to Simon,
The three of them stood still in a stalemate, without moving.
“What a disy of authority! A young man’s voice suddenly sounded from the police station’s entrance.
