âDo you think Iâm stupid?â Armand returned to the main topic of the conversation, âDo Matthew and Dolores know about it?â
Boyce replied, âI havenât found the occasion to tell them.â
Dolores was hospitalized at the time. He didnât bother her.
âI have some free time today, shall we go to the hospital to visit her?â Armand turned and looked at him.
Boyce gave it some thought, âWe can go together in the evening. I have some business to take care of at the police station.â
Armand said, âAll right. Weâll go together in the evening.â
Boyce acknowledged his words. The route they used was near Boyceâs house, so they first sent Jasmine to his house. Then, they went to the station.
They arrived at the station.
Boyce got out of the car, âYou worked hard today.â
Armand didnât bother to pay attention to him, âStop talking nonsense, why didnât they lock you up?â.
Boyce laughed, âWhy canât you tell the difference between good things and bad things?â
âStop showing off.â Armand stuck his head out the car window and crooked his finger in Boyceâs direction, âYou come here.â
Boyce asked, âWhat do you want to do?â
âIf I tell you to come here, you should just come. Donât talk nonsense.â Boyce did not respond to his words.
This personâ¦
Unwilling to stoop to arguing with Armand, he approached him and asked, âWhat do you want to do?â
Armand gave him a complicit look.
Boyce was puzzled and did not understand at all what Armand meant, âAre you going to say something? If not, can I go?â
Armand gave a soft throat clearing, âThis personâ¦â.
He leaned toward Boyce and spoke softly, âHave you two spent the night together?â
Boyce did not respond to his words.
âGet lost!â When he finished speaking, Boyce left the area.
Seeing Boyceâs reaction, Armand chuckled: âYouâre still acting like a gentleman, arenât you?â. Boyce ignored him.
Inexplicably, Armand was in a good mood. He wondered in his mind: how could there be a person like Boyce.
âHa ha!
When Boyce returned to the police station, a person asked him if he was okay.
Investigation Department personnel had arrived at the station to find Boyce. Since they said Boyce had returned home, the Investigation Department personnel went to Boyceâs house to find him.
Normally, it was not good for Investigation Department personnel to approach one.
They asked him that question because they were all worried about him.
Boyce said he was fine.
When he finished talking, he headed for his office. Wendy saw him casually as he was leaving Officer Millerâs office.
She seemed quite surprised that he was able to get back to the police station so soon.
âBoyce.â
Boyce turned and saw her. She was standing not far from him and had a ruthless face.
âYou told my father about the affair, didnât you?â she appeared there because Officer Miller had called her to the police station.
Officer Miller knew that the Investigation Department personnel had come to the police station. A few days ago, Officer Miller inadvertently saw a picture of Boyce and Jasmine on his daughterâs phone.
When the Investigation Department personnel went to look for Boyce, Officer Miller asked them why they needed to find Boyce. The Investigation Department staff said that someone had anonymously reported Boyce for inappropriate conduct. They even showed him the photo the person had provided.
Right away, Officer Miller understood what was going on, so he called his daughter at the police station.
He initially wanted to check to see if she had reported the incident. In the end, she didnât know and told him the real reason she had divorced her husband.
Officer Miller became so angry that he almost fainted.
Wendy, who slipped up, thought Boyce had not kept the promise and told Officer Miller about it.
Boyce was very dismissive: âI always do what I say.â
âYou lied! You plainly told the matter to my father. If not, how else did he find out about it?â. Wendy had a somber look on her face.
Boyce had a cold look on his face, âYou know best when it comes to your own affairs. As for how Officer Miller found out about this, I can only say that the truth will always prevail.â
âYouâ¦â Wendy was so angry she couldnât speak. She could only stare at him fiercely. If looks could kill, Boyce would have been killed by Wendy many times by now.
Suddenly, she laughed coldly, âShouldnât you act like a gentleman. Arenât you just like most men? Marrying a college student is rather nice, isnât it?â.
Wendyâs words became more and more horrible.
Boyce had a cold face, âTalk to me with some respect!â.
Wendy laughed and raised her head, âI wonât have any respect for you, what can you do to me?â.
The people who fear others the most are the ones who act like Wendy. They want nothing, care about nothing, and make rash decisions in extreme situations.
No one can reason with this type of person.
Boyce pushed open the door to his office. As he was about to enter his office, Wendy rushed toward him and pulled on the doorknob.
Boyce stepped back and distanced himself from her.
He acted as if she was something dirty.
He made no secret of his contempt for her, âWhat do you want to do?â
âBoyce, you have broken your word. Then I can break my word too. If Iâm having a bad time, you can forget about living a good life tooâ¦â
âIt was you who denounced me.â
Before she could finish speaking, Boyce interrupted her.
âAs a person, my patience has a limit. If you do this againâ¦â
âWhat can you do, are you going to hit me?â Wendy was sure he didnât dare hit her. She arched toward him purposefully, âYou can try to hit me.â
âWendy!â
At some point, Officer Miller approached them. He was furious. If he didnât have the experience of fainting due to anger, at that moment, his daughter would have made him so angry that he would faint.
âCome out immediately now!â Officer Miller said sternly. His tone implied that he would not allow her to refuse his orders.
Wendy was not about to back down. She thought she had suffered a loss because Boyce had deceived her.
âBut heâ¦â
âYou want him to die because of anger?â Officer Miller put his hands to his chest and could barely breathe.
Wendy bit her lip, stomped her foot, and snorted. She deliberately bumped into Boyce and headed for the exit.
Officer Miller stood in the same spot. After a long moment, she managed to collect herself and said, âBoyce, come in with me.â Boyce followed Officer Miller into his office.
They entered Officer Millerâs office.
Officer Miller said, âClose the door.â
Boyce closed the door completely, turned around and looked at Officer Miller. Officer Miller was standing in front of the window. He had his hands behind his back. He had lost a lot of weight due to his illness.
âOfficer Millerâ¦â
âWhen did you learn that she was divorced through her own fault?â
