Chapter 445
“Thanks for the trouble, Chief Sheridan.” Nichs smiled.
Thomas waved, and someone pulled Joe up from the floor right away.

Joe shouted as he struggled, “You… You’re on his side! Don’t you know that Nichs Thompson’s
a gangster!?”
“Mr. Tanner!” Thomas snorted, “Mr. Thompson’s the CEO of Sol Entertainment. He’s contributed
significantly to the development of film and TV culture, and he will participate in the top ten
outstanding youths of Centrolis next year! Do you mean that our mayor can’t distinguish right and
wrong?”
Joe widened his eyes speechlessly.
“I have to thank Mr. Thompson for being here in advance, so you didn’t get away!”
“B-But don’t you see his underlings? Those guns…”
“I was going to turn in these guns!” Nichs smiled.
“Chief Sheridan, I have a friend who works specifically with the police at the border to crush various
firearm smuggling activities. These guns are what he’s collected, and I’m passing them to you now.
It’s my duty as a Centrolis citizen!”
Joe was thoroughly dumbstruck.
Thomas chortled. “Mr. Tanner, did Mr. Thompson ask anyone to shoot just now?”
“N-No.”
“Then did Mr. Thompson cause you any tangible physical harm?”
“Well…”
“Someone righteous like Mr. Thompson should be the role model of all Centrolis citizens!”
“You tter me, Chief Sheridan.” Nichs yed along. “Since I came to Centrolis, I’ve made up my
mind to be awful citizen!”
“That’s great.” Thomas nodded. “I’d like everyone to follow me back for your statements to be taken.
Thank you for your cooperation!”
…
Taking the statements was just standard procedure. After all, no one dared speak unnecessarily,
given Nichs’ intimidation.
The Tanner Group ultimately returned to Mandy and would be under her management before Kelly
got better.
Linda was slowly improving as well. She was a cheerful and optimistic person to start with. It was
just that the blow to her was too much this time, and she was still a lot quieterpared to the past,
even though she managed to push through this.
Cordelia gradually grew closer to Kelly.
One day, she was taking a walk, wheeling Kelly outside. It feltfortable with the sun shining on
them warmly.
Josiah was upied and would bete, so he had asked Cordelia to keep Kellypany for a bit
longer. Cordelia smiled while reading the text and kept her phone back in her pocket.
Kelly’s voice was light. “Cordelia, it must be boring apanying me. Go ahead if you have
something to do. Don’t mind me, really! I can manage on my own.”
“I don’t have much to do.” Cordelia tucked the nket on her legs. “The artists in thepany are
behaving now, and the joint hospital is being built. I just have to check the construction progress
ording to schedule.”
“I’m so envious of you.” Kelly looked at her with a smile. “You have a job you like, and you’re so
capable. You also have Mr. Zephyr by your side devotedly…”
“You have someone by your side devotedly too!” When Cordelia grinned, she looked really pretty
with her big eyes that looked like they had countless stars in them.
“I heard Uncle Irwin say that Josiah would apany you every day when everyone thought you
had lost your memory!”
Kelly blushed with a slight sparkle in her eyes.
“Actually, I’m envious of you!” Cordelia said softly, “You’ve met so many challenges, yet you’re still
so courageous. It’s really impressive… When you stepped out to expose Nelly, you’re like a heroine
to me!”
Cordelia held her hand gently. “Kelly, how did you manage to endure it for so many years? If it were
me, I don’t think I’d be able to hold out for so long!”
Kelly smiled shyly. “You’re making me sound too noble! In truth, I kept those evidence, but I had
never considered exposing her in public one day…”
Cordelia was surprised.
