The CEO's Wife Is a Medical Master

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: I Really Admire You

The city’s police chief saluted Nathaniel Nathan. "My apologies. I will be sure to give you a full account of this matter!"

Nathaniel Nathan returned the salute. "Scum like him remaining on the police force is a disgrace. You don’t owe me an explanation; you owe one to the people."

The police chief burned with shame at his words, so furious he could have killed Chief Lewis with his own hands. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

He nodded quickly. "You’re right."

He felt today’s events were a massive humiliation and didn’t want to embarrass himself by staying any longer. After ordering his men to take Chief Lewis and the other officers away, he left immediately.

Once the police were gone, the room fell silent despite the number of people still inside. All eyes, wide with curiosity, were fixed on Nathaniel Nathan. His presence was simply too overwhelming for someone so young. The whole affair was unbelievable.

Normally, only a veteran detective with extensive experience could qualify to be the captain of the Central Narcotics Division. But no matter how you looked at him, Nathaniel Nathan just didn’t fit the bill.

Leo Wright couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t you just say you hadn’t called the provincial bureau?"

"I didn’t," Nathaniel Nathan said coldly. "I called Central."

Leo Wright’s face went deathly pale. He had only heard tales of the infamous Direwolf, but he never expected him to be this audacious! With the matter escalated straight to Central, any attempt at a cover-up would be impossible. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Susan Caldwell was still a bit dazed by Chief Lewis’s arrest, but the power and connections Nathaniel Nathan had just displayed were astonishing. The more she looked at him, the more pleased she became. ’Someone so outstanding is worthy of me,’ she thought.

She sighed with an air of admiration. "I never would have guessed Chief Lewis was that kind of person. I was almost fooled by him. You’ve done a great service to the public by getting rid of a menace like him—it’s truly remarkable."

After speaking, she turned to Vera Xavier. "You must have been wrongly accused. This gentleman saved you, so I think you should thank him."

Hearing Susan Caldwell’s words, Vera Xavier scoffed internally. ’Could she be any more desperate for attention?’

Before Vera could speak, Susan Caldwell chided her, "Honestly, why didn’t you speak up and clear your name sooner? You let this whole misunderstanding get out of hand."

Vera Xavier gave a cool smile. ’Susan really managed to say it all, didn’t she?’

Nathaniel Nathan’s brow furrowed at Susan Caldwell’s words, his disgust plain to see. But his demeanor was so cold that she failed to notice it. Instead, she smiled at him and said, "I really admire you. Could we get acquainted? My name is Susan Caldwell."

The smile on her face was perfectly graceful as she extended a slender, pale hand toward him.

This particular move of hers had never failed, especially on men, so she was absolutely certain Nathaniel Nathan wouldn’t refuse her.

But today, she was destined for disappointment. Nathaniel not only didn’t reach for her hand, he didn’t even spare her a single glance.

Her hand hung awkwardly in midair, but the smile on her face remained remarkably natural. She kept looking at Nathaniel and said, "It’s a pleasure to meet you."

Just then, Aaron Cheney walked out from an inner room. His face lit up when he saw Nathaniel. "Third Brother, what are you doing here!"

He had suffered a head injury and had been resting in the back because of severe dizziness ever since he came to. The commotion from the police cars had woken him up.
