His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 1747:

Once they stepped inside the packed conference room, Lucas and the female officer quietly retreated to the side, blending seamlessly into the background, letting Belinda take the spotlight.

“Belinda!” The director of the city police bureau strode forward with purpose, seized Belinda’s right hand in a firm, enthusiastic grip, and said with barely contained excitement, “Thank you for your monumental contribution to our community’s public safety!”

He then positioned himself before the microphone, announcing with authority, “Dear esteemed members of the media, on the fifteenth of this month, a violent robbery occurred at the Mingo Jewelry Store. Following our thorough investigation, the three suspects were positively identified as fugitives actively wanted. They are connected to numerous robbery and homicide cases across multiple jurisdictions, with a combined bounty totaling one million dollars!”

Belinda managed to maintain a calm expression when she heard that. The three dangerous criminals she had successfully subdued that day were among the most wanted fugitives.
