Chapter 519

A chill and sharp aura hung in the air as if a word dangled precariously above their heads

Churf Roderick, with a parched smile, offered, “Uh, why don’t you two have a cup of coffee?”

“No need I can’t afford the luxury of your coffee

Evadne crossed her shapely legs, her gaze was icy as she retorted, “Release my assistant immediately. The issue between the Ashbournes and the Chambers is a private matter. If you want to keep climbing the ladder without a hitch, you’d better not meddle and make things uncomfortable for yourself.”

Miss Ashbourne was always straight to the point, no beating around the bush!

Chief Roderick’s feigned smile faltered, but he managed to say “Ms. Evadne, I understand you’re upset. But in the past over thirty years working as a police officer, Eve dealt with all sorts of people, and no one brought in here was ever innocent. Jason may be your man, but he left Byron disabled. That’s a serious charge of assault with intent to cause harm, and I’ve already reported the case to my superiors”

Evadne’s brows furrowed deeply, and her hand was clenched in anger on the arm of the sofa

“In Elmsworth, everyone is equal before the law, even tycoons can’t bully the weak or disregard the rules. So, Ms. Evadne, I’m afraid I can’t comply with your request.”

“Chief Roderick, that’s a pretty speech. Everyone is equal before the law”

Thaddeus’s warm hand squeezed her cold hand, his eyes carrying a wintry threat, “That means you shouldn’t be wrongly accusing an innocent man, right?”

Evadne’s eyes widened, suddenly realizing something, she felt her heart skipping a beat.

“Mr. Thaddeus, what are you implying?” Chief Roderick asked, perplexed.

“The one who beat up Byron wasn’t Jason. It was me

Thaddeus’s lips curled with a scornful arc, his eyes glinting sharply, as though he could cleave the man in two with his stare, “You can release Jason now. Arrest me instead.”

Evadne gasped gripping his hand tightly, “Thaddeus!”

Chief Roderick turned flabbergasted and speechless!
