Chapter 203: Exiled
Donald barged into Charlotte’s room, shocking her out of her train of thought.He was accompanied by four hulking bodyguards and his expression was quite cold. “Donald, why are you here?” Charlotte asked. After Caleb had cut her off from the Bolton family wealth, Donald had also kept his distance.So this was the first time the husband and wife had seen each other in the last three days. “I warned you, didn't I? I told you to stay away from Mister Reid, but you said no. Now look, things have devolved to this extent.” Donald said in annoyance.“What are you talking about, Donald?” Charlotte asked, furrowing her brows as she regarded her husband. “What am I talking about?” Donald’s voice cracked with a mixture of disbelief and genuine fear.He gestured vaguely toward the window, as if the very air of Haven was vibrating with the repercussions of her actions. “You more than anyone else should know what I am talking about. Father sent me here because if he came himself, he might have
Chapter 202: Cleaning up house
"It wasn't your fault, Adam," Alistair replied smoothly. "A few small flies were buzzing around. I was waiting for them to land so I could see where they came from."Adam’s eyes flashed with a cold, predatory light. "And did they land?""They did. It seems Charlotte Bolton has a very high opinion of her influence over the law," Alistair remarked.Adam let out a short, bark-like laugh that sent a shiver down the spines of every officer present. "Charlotte Bolton.”He glanced at Miller. “Is that correct? Did Charlotte Bolton send you?”“Yes, she did. She said she would pay me three million dollars to arrest Mister Reid and an additional six million to kill him.” Miller didn't dare to hide the truth.Adam's expression cooled. “I thought the Boltons were a family worthy of my respect but it seems they are not. They have crossed the line and I will make sure they pay the price!”“No need for that.” Alistair calmly remarked. “I would like to believe that Caleb Bolton would clean up his hous
Chapter 201: Two minutes
“You dare arrest my benefactor not even a day after he left my house. Is that how little you think of me, Inspector Miller?” Adam coldly asked, glaring coldly at Inspector Miller. At that moment, he was more than prepared to kill the inspector. “Please spare me, Mister Smith, I had no idea…”Before Miller could finish speaking, Adam struck him again.“Shut your mouth!” Adam coldly said, silencing the inspector who was on the verge of peeing his pants. “Two minutes. I give you two minutes to release Grandmaster Zen otherwise I will have you killed right here and your body tossed into the harbor.”Despite being a businessman, Adam spoke like a gangster and it was clear that he meant every word he said. “Grandmaster Zen?” Miller seemed confused. “The man you just brought in. Get him out now.” Adam repeated.“Immediately!” Miller said.Immediately he hurried to free Alistair from his cell. Miller’s feet felt like lead as he practically skidded down the hallway toward the interrogati
Chapter 200: Struck hard across the cheek
“Cut the crap.” Isabella coldly remarked, addressing Inspector Miller. “You have arrested a man named Alistair Reid, no? I want him released immediately.”Miller’s fawning smile didn't just slip; it evaporated.He felt a sudden, cold sweat break out at the base of his neck.The phone in his hand felt like it had gained twenty pounds.“A-Alistair Reid?” Miller stammered, his mind racing through the web of bribes he’d already pocketed. “Miss Heart, there must be some mistake. The man I have in custody is a reckless driver who nearly crippled a pedestrian. We have multiple witnesses and—”“I don’t care if you have a choir of angels as witnesses,” Isabella’s voice cut through his excuses like a diamond-tipped drill. “Alistair Reid is a personal guest of the Heart family. If he isn't out of that precinct and back in his car in the next fifteen minutes, I won't just have your badge. I will ensure that by tomorrow morning, you are being audited for every cent you’ve ever extorted in that dis
Chapter 199: A minor dispute
After Charlotte ended the call, Miller chuckled, more than satisfied with the response he'd gotten. Back at the Smith Manor, Adam was attending to his wife and daughters when he received a sudden call. “Boss, there's a problem.” A voice said over the phone.“What is it?” Adam asked. “Grandmaster Zen has been arrested. I did as you instructed and kept watch but he suddenly got into an accident. When the police arrived on the scene, they didn't hesitate to cuff him and take him away. Seemed a lot like someone was targeting him.”Adam nearly lost his temper as he jumped to his feet. “What did you just say? Someone dared to target my benefactor?”It didn't help that Grandmaster Zen just left his home. Was the person trying to mock Adam or did they think he would not act after hearing this? Adam's expression darkened."Which precinct?" Adam demanded, his voice dropping into a register of icy calm that terrified his subordinates more than any shout."The 4th Precinct, sir. Under Inspec
Chapter 198: Where's the proof?
“So, you’re Alistair Reid or something.” hissed Miller maliciously.“Yes.” Alistair continued squinting until his eyes grew accustomed to the intense light. “Good. Now I recommend that you learn your place and cooperate. That is your only hope of leaving here alive!”The inspector lit a cigar, slid it between his teeth, and took a deep breath.“Mr. Miller, what do you need my cooperation for?” Alistair asked with a calm voice.“You nearly killed a person due to reckless driving and the law can sentence you to prison. However, I am giving you the chance to escape punishment. If we reach a mutual agreement, no charges will be pressed.”“You claim I nearly killed a person. Where's the proof?” Alistair asked with a raised brow.“Does it matter?” Miller shot back. “Now then, here's the deal: to get out of here, you only have to do one thing: leave this city and cut off communication with Miss Elizabeth Bolton.”“Firstly, those are two things.” Alistair corrected politely to the chagrin of
