His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 907

"Aaron, listen to yourself!" Wayne's voice thundered with a mix of outrage and incredulity. "I'm your boss, for heaven's sake, and tonight, my life was on the line! Those thugs were after me! And now... you want to haul me back to the station? What in the world are you thinking? If word gets out, can you even handle the fallout?!"

Thaddeus watched Aaron with a worried gaze. Though not one to dabble in the murky waters of politics, he knew all too well the weight of hierarchy.

"This block, I've got it completely locked down. Nothing about tonight will leak out. It's not just for your reputation, but also to avoid public panic. I don't want folks around here to be scared to step out of their homes come nightfall.”

Aaron's lips quirked up slightly, his handsome face serene yet firm, his tone brooking no argument, "Plus, you said it yourself, those thugs came for you, making you the victim. So, by procedure, you should come with us to give your statement and let us ensure your safety. After all, you are my boss, a person of no small significance, right?"

Wayne was rendered speechless.

Thaddeus's admiration for Aaron deepened, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully. Who said Aaron was just a brute? Evadne must be eating her words right now.

The interrogation room was steeped in an air of tension as dawn approached. Wayne sat silently on the cold chair, tight-lipped about anything beyond the night's events.

"There's no way around it, Captain Ashbourne," a colleague voiced their concern, "The Chief already knows. He's insisting that as soon as the routine interrogation is over, we must release Director-General Wayne. Otherwise, you could be facing suspension!"

Aaron clenched his fists in frustration. "How much time do we have?"

"Less than two hours. The Chief's been called back from Skyrim to Elmsworth on an emergency basis."

A knot tightened in Aaron's stomach. He wasn't afraid of suspension; he was afraid that if they couldn't pin anything on Wayne now, catching him in the future would be next to impossible.
