Chapter 766

“I know.”

Just then, Jeremy received a call. His brows furrowed at the name of the incoming caller.

He instructed the two policemen, “Do whatever you should do. Most importantly, get this thing settled.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jeremy left with his phone in hand while the two policemen flipped through their written statements and submitted evidence.

“Now that we’ve dealt with everything, since you don’t have any concrete evidence whatsoever, we can only drop this case. If you insist on suing the other party, you either produce new evidence or we’ll have to detain you if you continue causing trouble here.”

He flung a document in their way.

“Sign this and you can go.”

Yale stepped forward and handed a file to Tyler. “Mr. Hunt, this is what you asked for.”

A smile stretched across Tyler’s face as he lifted the file in his hand. “Who said we don’t have evidence? If you can’t punish this man in accordance with the law, we have no choice but to appeal to the courts.”

With that, Tyler’s eyes narrowed dangerously, glinting in warning.

“But it’s too late for you to turn back now. Everyone already knows about this, and you might just lose your job tomorrow.”

The policemen exchanged glances before bursting out in laughter.

“Hey, do you have any idea what you just said? Sir, if you insist on being like this, you’re leaving us with no choice but to be merciless.”

“Yeah! We gave you a way out, but you’re not showing us any respect. How could you be so arrogant when we’re trying to be nice?”

Tyler calmly lit a cigarette and started puffing away at it. “Don’t be anxious. You’ll know soon enough.”

Sawyer thought this man must be out of his mind. He put his hands on his hips and sneered, “Fine! I’ll see how long you three can continue being this arrogant. You’re doomed to stay here for the night!”

Anne started to get worried about how things seemed to be going. She didn’t want to stay the night at the police station. She had never stayed overnight at a place like this before.

It was as bad as killing her!

What’s more, they weren’t in Yurelia City, where Tyler was in a position of power. They were in a foreign land where they couldn’t afford to behave recklessly. They were also dealing with influential people who could do away with them as easily as squashing an ant.

The fact that Sawyer could behave so audaciously in public made it clear to her that this wasn’t his first time. He wouldn’t dare behave like this if he didn’t have someone powerful backing him up.

“Tyler, let’s just sign it. We’ll pretend this never happened before and forget about it all,” Anne said.

Tyler glanced coldly at her. “This isn’t just about you anymore. It’s about my girlfriend, too. It’s your problem if you want to forget about it, but my girlfriend risked her life because of this. I can’t let them go so easily!”

Anne saw the determined look in his eyes and was suddenly at a loss for what to say.

She shrugged, and her hand dropped from the hem of Tyler’s shirt. Tyler was making it very clear that he wasn’t seeking justice for her, but fighting for Rachel’s sake.

He had been standing up just for Rachel all along.
