“Reporting to Officer Summerton, we are just following protocol.”
The two men spoke without disying any emotions.
Ashton turned around and said to Emmanuel, “I''ll go inside and take a look. You guys wait here.”
Emmanuel nodded. He used to dislike Ashton when they were enemies, but now that they were on the same side, she might turn
out to be quite reliable!
Ashton quickly walked inside with long strides.
Although she still didn’t like Mackenzie, her feelings toward Emmanuel had changed from disgust to admiration, especially after
he helped her break through her internal strength. She was grateful to him, and she would definitely help him with his matters!
Tonight, she had originally nned to go home, but Emmanuel told her that his sister-inw and her friends were suddenly
brought here, so she changed her route and rushed over.
Upon entering, she realized that Beatrix and the other two were still locked in the interrogation room, and no one had informed
them that they could leave.
“What''s happening here?” Ashton immediately questioned one of the officers outside the door.
The person in charge here was named Toby Woods. When he saw Ashton, he was surprised. Looking agitated, he walked over.
“Miss Summerton, why are you here?”
“It''s Officer Summerton for you!”
Ashton was very dissatisfied with him addressing her that way, and she put on a proud face, even though this man was a distant
rtive of the Summerton family.
“Reporting to Miss- | mean, Officer Summerton, this is Madam Althea’s decision!” Toby said softly.
“My mother?” Ashton was surprised. “Why would she do this?”
As far as Ashton could recall, the Summerton family should have no grudges against the Quillen family. Her brother, Julian, even
went to Yeringham to pursue Roselynn Because of that, the Summerton family and the Quillen family had even coborated on
some small projects.
But now, Mom actually wants to deal with people from the Quillen family?
What''s going on?!
“Officer Summerton, | don’t have the answer to that,” Toby said, sounding unsure. But then he whispered, “Maybe it''s rted to
the Tanner family of Onza?”
Ashton thought his spection made sense. Although the Quillen family is the richest in Yeringham and holds great power there,
they are no match for the Tanner family of Onza, which has the support of the Tanner family of Zovince.
“Alright, | get it. Now let them go!”
Ashton didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately gave the order.
“R-Right!” Toby nodded.
“Alright, | get it. Now let them go!”
Ashton didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately gave the order.
“R-Right!” Toby nodded.
Soon, Beatrix and the other two came out.
The two who had just mocked Emmanuel had a sudden change of expression. It was a p in the face!
They couldn''t understand why. Why is Officer Summerton helping the Quillen family? Clearly, Madam Althea wants to make
things difficult for them!
Besides, Mr. Aidan got beaten up badly. Officer Summerton’s actions are undoubtedly disrespectful to the Tanner family. It would
surely lead to a feud.
“Mackenzie!”
As soon as Beatrix saw Mackenzie, she immediately rushed over with a look of grievance, her big eyes seemingly on the verge
of tears.
Although Mackenzie wanted to ask why they had fought with Aidan from the Tanner family, she knew this wasn’t the ce to talk,
so she immediately said, “Stop crying. We''ll talk about itter!”
Emmanuel, too, wasn’t in a hurry to ask Shane and Frederick about it. Instead, he followed them out.
When they reached the door, he turned back and said to Ashton, who had juste out, “Thanks for your help.”
Ashton thought that this guy had forgotten about her again and was feeling miffed. But when she heard him say thank you, her
anger instantly dissipated, and she deliberately turned her head the other way. “Hmph, who cares about your thanks? I’m just
doing my job!”
Emmanuel casually smiled and followed Mackenzie and the others as they left.
Only then did Ashton slowly lower her proud head, experiencing a strange sense of joy in her heart. This is the first time
Emmanuel said thanks to me.
“Weird, why am | feeling happy because of that guy’s words? That''s so odd,” Ashton muttered to herself before leaving the police
station.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t been home for several months. Thest time she had visited was during New Year’s, and she
hurriedly returned to Yeringham the day after that.
“Ash!”
Ashton had just stepped into the vi when she heard an excited voice.
“Julian?!”
Ashton saw the man in front of her and froze in ce.
| can’t believe it. Julian actually cut the long hair that he had kept for 20 years?!Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
She still remembered when they were young, Althea had cut his hair short and he had cried for a long time!
What on earth is happening?
