The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 79

Josephine met the officer's gaze, anger simmering beneath her steady demeanor.

"I know all of you are taking bribes from Carlo, silencing anyone who dares speak out against his mine poisoning our town and making people sick."

"Watch your mouth, lady," the officer sneered. "Stick to the charges and stop throwing around baseless accusations."

It was no secret that every cop in this mining town was on Carlo's payroll, turning a blind eye for a fat envelope and a promise of more.

She squared her shoulders, refusing to back down. "I'd rather face false charges than be coerced into anything by you or Carlo."

The officer's expression darkened.

Stepping forward, he grabbed a fistful of her hair, yanking her head back sharply. "You'd better take the offer while I'm being nice," he hissed, his grip tightening painfully.

Instead of cowering, Josephine locked eyes with him and spat in his face. "You're the real criminal here."

Rage twisted his features as he wiped the spit from his cheek.

He raised his hand to strike her just as the interrogation room door swung open.

Alex stood in the doorway, his eyes cold and unwavering. "I suggest you let her go," he said, his voice dangerously

calm.

The officer glared at him. "And who might you be?"

"Her attorney," Alex replied smoothly, stepping inside with an air of authority.

"I need a moment alone with my client."

The officer snorted. "This isn't some big-city law firm. You can't just barge in here."

"Actually, I can,” Alex said, locking eyes with the officer. "Unless you want to explain to your superior why you denied her right to counsel."

The officer hesitated, uncertainty flickering across his face

"Fine. Five minutes." He released Josephine roughly and stomped out, slamming the door behind him.

Josephine looked up at Alex, a mix of relief and surprise in her gaze. "How did you?"

"Just tell me what happened, and I'll get you out," he said softly.

Her shoulders slumped as she explained and then added.

"Alex, they control everything in this town. The police, the officials-everyone's under Carlo's thumb. You're not supposed to be here. Please, just go. Don't put yourself in danger."

"Trust me." Alex gave a small smile and winked. "In this country, nothing moves without my say-so. Carlo's thumb isn't nearly as heavy as he thinks."

Josephine's eyes widened before she suddenly burst into laughter.

"You can't take on all of them."
