Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Outside the police station parked a black Maybach by the roadside. The man in the backseat stared at the entrance of the police station with a deep gaze, his lips pursed into a thin line, his dark eyes were emotionless. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Caleb was sitting in the driver’s seat and kept looking back through the rearview mirror. Gabriel had not moved an inch nor given any instructions – Caleb was going curious.
Sitting next to Gabriel was another man wearing a standard three-piece suit. Although his facial features were not as outstanding, he would still stand out in the crowd.
Xeno Zaccardi was looking at the man next to him with confusion. They had been sitting here for almost an hour in silence. What was happening?
In the end, Xeno’s patience was running out as he asked, “President Jones, shall we go in?”
Gabriel flipped his phone in his lap and said, ‘Til wait for you here.”
Xeno and Caleb got out of the car and entered the police station.
In the interrogation room, the police were treating President Linde like the emperor, going so far as to serve him the best coffee ordered from the nearest boutique cafe. Serenity, on the other hand, was in a more miserable state. No one cared about her and her throat was so dry that she wouldn’t be surprised if smoke came out if she tried to speak.
She looked at the police officers who were eagerly flattering President Linde and said, “Can I have a glass of water?”
“Do you think the police station is owned by your family?” asked the young officer rudely.
She licked her dry lips, too lazy to argue with him. Relegated to their current treatment of her, she simply turned her head to look out the window.
But President Linde was getting impatient and his lawyer could tell. He looked at Serenity, and being someone good at reading people’s facial expressions and body language, he asked, “Miss Serenity, when will your lawyer arrive?”
Serenity whispered as she said through her dry lips, “Soon.”
Robin had just called her back, saying that his lawyer friend was on his w>ay and should be there soon.
Still impatient, President Linde kept looking at the watch on his wrist. His lawyer said, “Why don’t you go back first and leave everything to me?”
“Sounds good.” President Linde stood up, wearing the clean clothes his assistant had brought over earlier. He now looked imposing again, save for the wound on his forehead that had been given first aid.
Just then, the door of the interrogation room opened. Everyone turned to look at the door and saw Caleb and Xeno walk in. The two scanned the interrogation room and their eyes finally landed on Serenity.
Xeno Zaccardi took out a business card from his suit jacket pocket and handed it to President Linde. “I’m Miss Serenity’s lawyer, Xeno Zaccardi.”
Serenity was stunned. Robin had told her that his lawyer friend was an American. But Xeno was an Asian man.
She was even more puzzled as to why Caleb was here as well. Did that mean Gabriel was also…
She looked past the two of them but did not see anyone else coming in after them.
A sense of loss suddenly welled up in his heart. Although that feeling was faint, it was very real.
Xeno Zaccardi was a well-known lawyer in Andalas. He was an undefeated legend in the lawyer world, having never lost a case.
President Linde was shocked that Gabriel’s assistant accompanied Xeno Zaccardi.
Now’ President Linde felt a little confused towards Serenity, looking as if he had swallowed a fly – he was looking quite ugly.
Xeno looked at the woman sitting on the chair. Her delicate face w^as a little pale, but her black eyes shone brightly above her small and straight nose. She had beautifully shaped lips too. But her skin was looking quite dry and there was dried blood trailing from her forehead. This woman’s appearance was quite disheveled.
This w^as President Jones’s woman?
