"You! How dare you speak to me like that?" Halley had never been addressed with such impatience by an outsider before, and the humiliation made her tremble with anger.


    "I''ve been very polite to you! Ever since you walked in, you''ve demanded to meet the chief. Do you think Mr. Carter is avable to anyone? You are simply outrageous!" "You..." Hailey pointed at the person in front of her, trembling in fury.


    "Who do you think you are? This is a police station, not a ce for you to act out!"


    Halley''s vision blurred with fury. Seeing this, Zion raised a hand to silence the officer


    Zion spoke calmly, "We should treat our elders with respect."N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    "I apologize for my attitude," the officer said sheepishly.


    Zion smiled. "Well, if Mrs. Brooks Senior wants to see your chief, have hime over."


    "Yes, Mr. Spencer, I''ll call Mr. Carter immediately." The officer hurried out to make the call and returned shortly after, breathless. "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Carter said he''ll be here soon. Please wait here for a moment."


    Hailey''s expression turned grim at the sight. Zion was making it clear that her authority in Seathburn City was nothingpared to his!


    Hailey mmed her hand on the table. "Well, well, Richard Carter! You clearly have no respect for me!


    "Has he forgotten how he tried to curry favor with me when he was just a sergeant? And now he won''t even listen to me?"


    Cecilia tried to calm Hailey down, saying, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, don''t get agitated. You can reprimand Mr. Carter when he arrives!"


    Halley''s anger simmered slightly at Cecilia''s words. Meanwhile, Maeve observed with a cold sneer.


    Hailey had always been pampered and worshipped, so she was perhaps unaware of her waning influence in Seathburn City nowadays. Back then, Richard was just a sergeant who needed to curry favor with Halley. But now, as the police chief, he had no reason to bow to her whims


    As expected, Richard arrived shortly after. Upon seeing Zion, he approached immediately. "I heard you wanted to see me, Mr. Spencer. What can I do for you? I''ll do my best to help." Zion nced at Hailey, and Richard understood. After catching sight of Hailey, his expression changed slightly. "Mrs. Brooks Senior, were you looking for me?"


    Halley shot Richard a cold look. "Mr. Carter, I see you''ve been quite well off. I asked someone to call you, and they couldn''t even manage that." Richard''s displeasure towards Hailey''s attitude was evident, but he kept hisposure in front of Zion. "Mrs. Brooks Senior, what do you need?"


    Hailey stood up in anger. "Your people brought in my grandson. Do you call that nothing? Tell them to release Sergio now!" Richard said, "So it''s about this matter. It isn''t easy, you see. We have rules to follow."
