Chapter 44
It was only then that be answered the call. The conference organizers called and asked him to attend a meeting about Kylie’s research paper.
Kylie had already guessed as much. Once he hung up, she said, “Mr. Bradford, go ahead and carry on with your work. I can handle things here.”
Jeremiah didn’t know how she intended to handle things after hitting Samuel’s girlfriend, but he decided to trust her and let her deal with it.
“Alright. Call me if you need anything “With that, be left the police station.
“I’d love to see how you handle this without your backing!” is smirked smugly.
“Mr. Jones, tell Samuel that locking me up is easy, not it won’t be that easy to get me out!”
Kylie turned to Simon with a slight squint. She was calm and sported a smile on her face, yet there was a sharp, commanding air about her
“What do you mean by that?” Simon frowned as he studied her.
Kylie had a slender, graceful figure and exquisite features. Her eyes were dark and brilliant like the night sky, radiating a brightness that was difficult to ignore.
Before he could get lost in his thoughts, Iris cut in, pretending to be understanding and compassionate.
“Kylie, I understand how scared you must be of going to prison. Anyone would be, too, if they were in your position
“But you shouldn’t falsely claim connections and mislead Mr. Jones. If you apologize and compensate me for my medical expenses and emotional distress, I might consider settling privately.”
Upon hearing this, Kylie chuckded coldly in her heart. She knew Iris all too well.
There was no way Ins would settle this privately. All she wanted was to watch Kylie beg for mercy and enjoy the thrill of stomping on her.
Samuel hadn’t arrived yet. Ending the show now before it even started would be a waste.
Kylie turned to the officer who was about to take her to the detention room and said, “Officer, please lead the way.
Her tone was calm and composed, and her demeanor was polite and cooperative. The officer was stunned for a moment. He had seen countless detainees, but this was the first time he had encountered someone so willing to be detained.
As she stepped out of the office, Kylie tumed back and shot Iris a meaningful smile.
Seeing this, Iris sneered internally. “Let’s see how long you can pretend to be calm Once inside, you’ll be the one sobbing. The Vance family will not accept a woman with a criminal record!”
When Simon met Kylie’s gaze, be felt a sudden unease grip his chest. He quickly pulled out his phone and texted Sebastian, “That woman you said Sebastian keeps hidden away. What’s her name?”
Sebastian called him right away as he had nothing to do.
“M:. Dale, you go ahead with the paperwork. I need to take this call.
Then, Simon stepped out into the corridor. Once he reached the end of the hallway, he answered the call.
Sebastian’s voice came through the receiver, teasing, “Why the sudden curiosity? Did you see her? I have to admit Samuel’s taste is amazing. Isn’t she a natural
For some reason, Simon immediately associated that description with Kylie.
“Is her name Kylle Clark?” he asked andously.
“Congratulations, you’re ri
”
Simon cut off the call before Sebastian could finish talking. He couldn’t believe the type of friend be had.
He was a top–tier lawyer, but here he was, reduced to handling Samuel’s new–flame–versus–old–tling drama at the police station.
As he walked back to the office, Simon w Iris pressing an ice pack to her swollen face while urging the officer, “Hurry up and process the paperwork! Make sure she gets a taste of prison lite!”
