Chapter 769: Someone Stirring Trouble for Tina in Front of Her Father

All were battle-hardened comrades. Armel followed Ruud into the living room and sat down. "She had the arrest warrant in hand, yet he still wanted to argue. He said Miss Reed was wrong to stuff that woman into the trunk. Lucky for him, Miss Reed didn't make a fuss, got in her car, and left. Otherwise, they would've come to blows."

Gabe, clearly indignant, covered his head and retorted, "How is that my fault? Even the police don't shove criminals into the trunk like that. That Miss Reed? She tossed that woman in like it was nothing! What kind of legitimate law enforcemen does that? She's practically a member of the underworld!"

"I was just asking questions. Look at how defensive they both were. How could I not be suspicious? Who knows what kind of person she really is?"

Armel almost laughed in disbelief. "Come on now. You don't know Miss Reed, fine. But you don't know Hayden either? When we tagged along with Ruud to deal with the X Bureau a while back, he was one of them. With him around, what could possibly go wrong?"

"Yeah, and he resigned too!" Gabe barked back.

Unable to win the argument with Armel, Gabe turned to Ruud with a complaint. "Bro, you didn't see it. That Miss Reed-tiny thing, but man, is she domineering. The woman she tied up had almost killed someone else, and she didn't waste a second grabbing her. Almost strangled her! I asked around, and apparently, the woman she caught is some rapist's relative. Sure, Adriana Smith might've been wrong to attack someone, but even if she wanted to arrest her, did she have to choke her? How's that different from vigilante justice?"

"Maybe she had other charges she couldn't disclose?"

Armel rubbed his temples. "Ruud, you be the judge. This guy's impossible. He just gets fixated, even when there's a warrant involved!"

Ruud, tired of their bickering, closed his eyes halfway. His deep, dark gaze settled on the edge of the coffee table as his brows furrowed tighter.

"Gabe wasn't wrong. Without knowing the full truth, stepping in to question her wasn't unreasonable," Ruud finally said, his tone measured. He knew his brother's character well.

If even someone as straightforward as Gabe felt something wasn't right, it only proved that Tina's actions had been excessive.

Thinking about this, Ruud's mood soured further. "That said, Tina's personality has its flaws. Honestly, I'm surprised Mr. Watson chose her and Jared to lead the new department." Jared was passable.
