Chapter 2338


    Although he had defeated all the guards, Colin continued to advance toward Mateo and Ollie with a murderous look in his eyes.


    The bloodlust gleaming in Colin''s eyes caused Mateo to shiver in fear.


    Ollie waved his phone in the air. With a trembling voice, he warned Colin, "D-Don''te any closer! I''ve called the authorities. They will be here to send you to jail soon!"


    Bam!


    Colin unleashed his anger and backhanded Ollie so hard that thetter hurtled into the air.


    He then proceeded to pick Mateo up like he weighed nothing. He hauled Mateo over his shoulders and walked over to Penny and Nathan. There, Colin dumped Mateo to the ground in front of their feet.


    Thud''.


    When Mateo crashed to the ground, he fell into a kneeling position in front of Nathan.


    Utterly embarrassed by this entire ordeal, Mateo tried to push himself to his feet.


    Before he could do so, Mateo heard Colin''s cold voice echo beside his ear. "Don''t move. If you stand up, I''ll make sure that you lose both of your legs."


    A shiver skittered down Mateo''s spine upon hearing Colin''s menacing threat. Obediently, he kneeled before Nathan with his head hung low in humiliation.


    "Raise your head," Nathanmanded.


    Initially, Mateo intended to ignore Nathan''s words. However, he quickly remembered Colin''s ferocity and lifted his pale face to meet Nathan''s stony gaze.


    Nathan''s tone was icy. "Are you still nning to act like an insolent brat and humiliate my wife?"


    A dark expression loomed across Mateo''s face as he stuttered hesitantly, "I-I..."


    "Speak up!"


    Gritting his teeth, Mateo snarled, "You as*hole! Though I have lost, this isn''t the end! Mark my words; I will hold this grudge against you until my veryst breath. If we cross paths with each other again, I will make you regret that you were ever born."


    p!


    The moment Mateo finished speaking, Colin pped him again.


    "What nonsense are you spouting? Mr. Cross isn''t even done with you yet. Why are you already thinking about our next encounter?" Colin hissed angrily.


    Nathan smirked as he nced at Mateo''s furious expression. "It seems like we are different. Unlike you, I prefer to wrap things up swiftly.”


    At that moment, several police cars pulled up at the scene.


    Immediately, a muscr, middle-aged man alighted from the car with a dozen of his subordinates following suit.


    This stern-faced police officer was Zed Walker, the Police Captain of the Investigation Unit in Channing.


    Zed''s sudden appearance was like a sliver of hope for Mateo. "Captain Walker, please help me!" he cried out desperately.


    It would seem like the Rivera family had been afraid Mateo might run into trouble. Since they were acquaintances with Zed, they asked for thetter''s help to watch over


    Mateo and prepared for such a scenario beforehand.


    Unexpectedly, these preparations prove useful now.


    Mateo quickly stumbled to his feet and dashed toward Zed with tears streaming down his cheeks.


    The sight of Mateo running toward him caused a look of confusion to flit across Zed''s face. It took him several moments before he realized that the disheveled man before him was the eldest son of the Rivera family.


    Zed knitted his brows together and asked, "Mr. Rivera, what happened to


    you?"


    Immediately, Mateo ryed the


    incident to Zed. However, he sneakily twisted the story to paint Nathan as the viin. Mateo pointed a trembling finger at Nathan. "Captain Walker, he hurt my guards and even hit me until I bled Please take the necessary actions needed against that barbarian."


    Truthfully, Zed had noticed Nathan and Penny''s presence from the start.


    Although Zed appeared as cool as a cucumber, a raging storm was brewing inside him. I can''t believe Yorknd''s celebrities have the audacity to stir


    up so much trouble. He even provoked the General. Does he have a death wish?


    “All right, I will deal with this situation ording to thew," Zed replied calmly.


    Immediately, Mateo whirled around to give Nathan a smug grin. You brat, you''ll be facing the dire consequences of your actions now.


    As Mateo watched on expectantly, Zed instructed his subordinates, "Lock up these culprits. They are under arrest for causing public nuisance and violence." "Yes, Captain." Promptly, two policemen


    el


    stepped forward and reset


    Mateo before snapping a pair of cuffs over his wrists.


    Mateo''s smug expression morphed into one of shock.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    After a few moments, he finally regained his senses. "You''ve got the wrong person! Captain Walker, you should be arresting that brat instead Before he could finish, Zed interjected solemnly, "Stop yelling nonsense. You are the culprit here. Along my journey, I was already notified of the events that transpired here. You and your men have been used of endangering public safety. Hence, I am detaining you under thew."


    What? Mateo stared at Zed in a mixture of shock and surprise.


    He could not wrap his head around the entire situation. Didn''t my familymunicate with most of Channing''s major businesses before my arrival? To be more specific, we even called Captain Walker to get his help. On the phone, he evenughed and agreed with whatever we said. Why isn''t he helping me now? Instead of offering his assistance, he cuffed me!
