Chapter 762


    “What are youughing at, you jerk?”


    Ashton had be extremely sensitive to Emmanuel’sughter. Whenever


    she saw him smiling, she immediately felt like he was mocking her.


    “Miss Ashton, are you being a bit too overbearing?”


    Emmanuel chuckled. “Is it illegal tough secretly?”


    “You-”


    Ashton’s hatred for Emmanuel had reached the point where she yearned to


    snap as soon as he uttered a word.


    However, a mere nce from Sage made her obediently put her hands


    down.


    How frustrating it is to be unable to get back at someone I despised!


    Emmanuel was determined not to stoop to her level and earnestly said, “Miss


    Ashton, out of respect for Captain Payne, I will now share crucial information


    regarding the three cases. Please listen attentively.”


    As she caught his gaze, Ashton struggled to restrain her anger.


    How does this jerk suddenly assume such an air of undeniable authority?


    “Firstly, Magnus Zelinsky pushed udette Lenoir off the cliff. The person you


    should be investigating is Magnus Zelinsky, not me. If not, you’ll never crack


    the case. Secondly, the poisoning incident at the restaurant was aimed at


    1. It was a bizarre and deadlybo. The poison was introduced into in


    water, with the source traced back to Jonathan Verkade. As for how to


    proceed with the investigation, that’s up to you! Thirdly, today’s Ferris wheel


    incident was no ident. Hubert Verkade even took shots at me. It was a


    premeditated murder. Of course, whether you can nail such a big shot like


    Hubert Verkade, that’s up to your capabilities!”


    After Emmanuel finished speaking, he gestured to Sage as he was about to leave the amusement


    park.


    “That infuriating guy, who does he think he is? Sooner orter, I’ll bring him to


    justice!” Ashton muttered angrily, but Sage overheard her.


    Sensing Sage’s frigid gaze, Ashton felt a shiver run down her spine as if she


    had fallen into an ice cer!


    Why does Captain Payne stand up for that guy Emmanuel so much?


    “Ashton, listen up. These three cases are now entirely under your


    responsibility. If you can’t solve them within three months, you’ll hand over


    your badge and gun! Got it?”


    “Ah, Captain-”


    Ashton was secretly shocked. However, when she met Sage’s resolute gaze,


    she could only bite her lip lightly and salute, “Yes, I pledge toplete the


    mission!”


    Then, Sage also departed.


    Left alone, Ashton let out a long sigh.


    Before she could rx, her private phone rang again.


    “Hello, Dad!”


    Ashton answered the call, and her tone differed slightly from her usual


    tough-girl image as she showed her girlish side.


    “Ash, is your work progressing smoothly? You promised me you’d get


    promoted to Inspector Grade 2 this year!”


    “Dad, I’ll definitely seed!”


    Laughter echoed through the line. “I’m not hoping for your sess. I just want


    to let you know that your brother has decided toy low. He insists on having


    youe back and inherit the Summerton family business. Remember what


    you said: if you can’t get promoted this year, then you’ll obediently return


    home and take over the family business!”


    “No! I don’t want to!”


    Ashton reacted with agitation.


    The Summertons, a prominent business family in Yeringham, were known for


    theirmercial prowess. However, the younger generation of this family


    stood out for their strong ideals and personalities.


    Among them was Lexi Summerton, Ashton’s cousin, an undeniably hacking


    genius. Rather than assuming the mantle of CEO in her family’spany,


    Lexi chose to be an executive assistant in Yeringham.


    Her brother, Tyler Summerton, was even more idealistic. He chose to be a


    photographer, traveling around taking pictures, disying no interest in the


    business world.


    Then there was Ashton, driven by an unyielding passion for justice and a


    resolute determination to fight evil with her abilities, aiming to bring


    righteousness to the world.


    While her cousin and brother’s aspirations seemed more straightforward to


    attain, Ashton’s dreams soared to lofty heights.


    What should she do now?


    She would be in big trouble if she couldn’t solve these three cases within


    three months. How could she even think about a promotion?
