Chapter 802
The next morning, Alexander personally came to inquire about the progress of Esme’s case, lest these people not take him seriously and brush him off over the phone. Officer Cooper Hart was very attentive, immediately asking someone to pour coffee and politely saying, “Mr. Tudor, what an honor to have you here. Why didn’t you call ahead?”
Alexander, dressed in a black suit, exuded a cold aura. He casually sat on a single sofa, arms crossed, and cast a chilling glance at Cooper. Cooper immediately fell silent and began to tremble. This was Alexander; no one dared to neglect him. Everyone in the police station knew why Alexander was here today.
People in the station were talking about how ruthless Alexander was. He had sent his ex-girlfriend to the police station without a second thought. He didn’t care about past relationships at all!
“Esme is currently out on bail. She can’t escape the charge of inciting others to commit murder. However, her case is quite complicated and will be transferred to another department soon, so it won’t be under my jurisdiction anymore.”
Alexander looked at Cooper and said coldly, “My grandmother is still lying in the hospital. She was resuscitated just last night. I want to hear about Esme’s sentencing as soon as possible.”
Cooper immediately nodded, “We’ll expedite the process, but…”
“But what? Do I need to visit every day?” Alexander’s eyes narrowed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Alexander had the time to visit, but did Cooper have the opportunity to be visited by him every day?
“No, no!” Just as Cooper finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door. Both Alexander and Cooper looked towards the door, where Cooper’s subordinate and Henry stood. Alexander squinted his eyes. Cooper immediately became nervous. This was what he wanted to say.
Recently, Henry had been coming over to plead for Esme. Although Alexander overshadowed Henry, the Russell Family was still one of the four major families, and Cooper couldn’t afford to offend either of them.
“So you haven’t been submitting the case because Mr. Russell has also been visiting.” Alexander pursed his lips, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of coffee. Henry frowned at Alexander. As their eyes met, the atmosphere in the office changed instantly.
Cooper said, “Mr. Tudor, you and Mr. Russell are old friends. Let’s talk things out.” Then he smiled at Henry and said, “Mr. Russell, please have a seat.” If the two could resolve this matter privately, that would be ideal. However, Henry stood at the door, and Alexander had no intention of letting him sit. This made Cooper feel awkward again.
“Mr. Tudor, it seems everyone knows we used to be friends. But I don’t understand why our families’ relationship has come to this.” Henry took a step forward.
“Mr. Russell, are you joking? Do I need to recount everything Esme has done?” Henry claimed not to understand why. Esme was the so-called “why”! Because of Esme, the two families had reached this point. Without Esme, perhaps he and Henry could indeed be considered respectable friends. But now, how could Alexander give them any respect? The Russell Family had not given Alexander any respect in the first place! Esme had played Alexander, so why should Alexander give the Russell Family any respect?
“Alexander, Esme is still young. She made some mistakes, but it’s not enough to condemn her to death!”
“From the day Esme hurt Lily, you lost the right to negotiate. Mr. Russell, if you want to have coffee, you’re welcome to sit. If you want to argue about how I’m handling Esme, I suggest you turn around and leave.” Alexander pointed directly at the door.
Alexander’s face was exceptionally cold, his eyes filled with hatred. Henry didn’t know how to respond. Cooper really couldn’t help Henry this time. Alexander’s intentions were too clear; he wanted to send Esme straight to hell! Esme was truly foolish. She had such a good life but chose to send herself to the police station.
