How could Nathan point a finger at Ellsworthâs high-profile visitor, the noble Danilo from Zephyria?
The officer refrained from speaking or inquiring, opting instead to write down notes in silence.
Ellsworth remained stoic, giving nothing away.
It appeared he wasnât surprised, recalling Lucindaâs earlier questions about Danilo.
The officer continued, âWith Mr.
Brewer as a prime suspect, Iâll dig deep.
But I need to understand, why do you believe heâs involved?â
Nathanâs response was icy.
âHeâs no friend of mine.
We crossed paths while shopping, encountering him and Nala.
He questioned my wifeâs business deal with DoWeier Group, wanting to snatch the rights for himself.
He faced rejection from me and became the target of my ridicule.
Thus, he resorted to desperate measures, attempting to harm both my wife and me.
â
The officer noted down Nathanâs every word meticulously.
âAll right, Iâll inform the station director of your concerns and initiate an investigation,â he responded.
Ellsworth had been listening in silence.
It wasnât until the officer departed that Ellsworth commented, âIâm familiar with Daniloâs character.
He doesnât appear to have committed such a grave offense over a minor disagreement.
Could there be some confusion?â
Nathanâs demeanor remained frosty.
âHe might not act directly.
But itâs possible he was persuaded by someone else.
Given his attachment to his new girlfriend, being manipulated is plausible.
But these are my hunches.
Without hard evidence, we canât conclude.
â
Ellsworth nodded approvingly at Nathanâs final statement and suggested, âBoth you and Miss Simmons should consider staying here for a few days.
Weâll discuss things further once we get to the bottom of this, just in case the individual responsible decides to strike again.
Additionally, Iâll increase the number of personnel secretly guarding your hotel.
â
âAgreed,â Nathan replied.
He had no grounds to decline.
At this point, he and Lucinda couldnât depart.
Nonetheless, Lucinda needed to return home promptly and have Aldric examine her.
With this in mind, Nathan said, âWe must resolve this promptly.
â
Ellsworth reassured him, saying, âNo need to fret.
Iâll be fully dedicated to this case in the days ahead.
Additionally, Iâll closely monitor the police station to ensure we obtain the results as swiftly as possible.
â
Nathan gently lifted Lucinda, still asleep, intending to escort her back to their hotel to rest.
As Nathan prepared to depart, something crossed his mind.
He cautioned Ellsworth, saying, âPlease, donât disclose to anyone that Lucinda and I were assaulted.
And refrain from making any international news announcements.
It could lead to complications in the foreign relations between our countries.
You understand the consequences.
â
âAbsolutely.
Iâll ensure the news is kept under wraps, even if you didnât mention it,â Ellsworth replied.
With no further discussion, Nathan exited the police headquarters with Lucinda, not glancing back.
To ensure Nathan and Lucinda would not face any further threats on their way back, Ellsworth dispatched police vehicles armed with personnel to escort them back.
They were joined by a handful of police security guards, forming a formidable escort party.
After all, very few individuals were brave enough to target a police vehicle.
Upon Nathan and Lucindaâs secure arrival at the presidential suite in the hotel, the police officers efficiently assisted Nathan in bringing their luggage inside.
Once Nathan had entered the room, the police team remained stationed outside.
