A Replacement Bride

Chapter 333

The prosecutor put his ID back into his pocket and with a casual expression, he stated, "Mr. Levisay, you will have to come with us to the prosecutor's office if you want to know the reason." He was obviously not taking Joaquin seriously.

Joaquin narrowed his eyes and let out a humorless smile. "Really? I didn't know you could arrest someone without giving a reason."

Katherine's gaze was sharp as she echoed coldly, "Exactly. Even the police need to have a reason to arrest a criminal. The prosecutor's office sure sounds like a casual place. You can even bring anyone in and out without giving a reason. Are you not worried people will say that you abuse your power?"

The man glanced at her with a frown on his face. Clearly, he didn't expect the two of them to question him so confidently.

His smile immediately fell, and his expression turned cold.

"Fine. In that case, I might as well say it outright. Mr. Levisay, it stands to reason that you are the supreme commander of Hovington's Area Seven and you hold the title of the Major. You shouldn't have anything to do with the prosecutor's office. However, we have received a report saying that you, a public official, run a multinational company privately to seek benefits both in your home country and abroad. Due to your special status and identity, this matter has received the attention of the higher-ups. They demand that you be thoroughly investigated."

He then flashed a smile that didn't reach his eyes as a look of ridicule flashed across his gaze.

"So, I'm afraid you'll have to come with us even if you don't want to. Please bear with us if we have offended you. After all, you wouldn't want to cause more problems at a time like this."

When Joaquin heard that, he frowned ever so slightly and lowered his head.

Katherine was baffled by what she was hearing. "Who reported him? What multinational company are you talking about? Do you even have proof?"

While speaking, she had already stood in front of Joaquin and was looking at these people vigilantly like a protector.

The prosecutor didn't think much of it. "The identity of the whistleblower must be kept secret. Since we are responsible for their safety, we can't tell you who they are. As for the proof, we need to investigate to get it. We are only prosecutors. What we are doing is an in-depth investigation. We wouldn't be the ones who are here if there is conclusive evidence. You'd be seeing the cops instead."

Katherine lowered her eyelids as she lightly pursed her lips. "Not having evidence makes it an unwarranted report. You can't blindly believe anything reported and forcibly take people away for investigation, right?"
