    Chapter 269 On the Verge of Eruption


    How did the reportere?


    The flower was tucked into my arms by Daniel. The long-lost fragrance of the flower made me


    involuntarily feel a bit happier. Yes, I like flowers, especially the scent of them makes me very happy.


    However, it seemed I had never spoken to anyone about it.


    Without giving it much thought, I looked at Daniel and said, “Mr. Monroe, how did you get here?”

    Daniel, seemingly oblivious to others, looked at me with a charming smile and said, “I came to pick you


    up, to take you to eat something delicious.”


    Eh, I unconsciously nced at Walter who was next to me. The man’s face was very gloomy, clearly


    showing his displeasure.


    I had a bit of a headache. Could these two have arranged this in advance?


    There were still reporters outside taking pictures, the ex-husband and…


    It was hard not to overthink Daniel’s actions, especially forizens with wild imaginations.


    Looking at Daniel, I forced a smile and said, “Thank you for the flowers, Mr. Monroe, I…”


    “Let’s go then, I brought you some dessert. You must be craving for it after being inside for so long,


    right?” Daniel didn’t give me a chance to speak. His handsome, impable face, coupled with his


    exceptionally


    sweet smile, left me dazed for a few seconds.


    Even when he held onto my neighbor, I didn’t react for a moment. It wasn’t until he was pulling me


    away, and as we passed Walter, my other wrist was grabbed by Walter, that I suddenly came to my


    senses, frozen in ce.


    Seeing that I wasn’t leaving, Daniel turned to look at me. After a moment, his gaze fell on Walter. The


    man’s dark eyes slightly squinted as he asked, “Does Mr. Hinton have any other matters?”


    Walter had not spoken up. He had always been gentle and indifferent, never one to wear his emotions


    on his sleeve. At this moment, his handsome face showed little expression, as he looked at Daniel


    indifferently and asked, “Where does Mr. Monroe intend to take my wife?”


    Upon hearing his words, Daniel raised an eyebrow andughed, saying, “Wife? Mr. Hinton, you must


    be joking. The news of your divorce from Ms. Conner was announced a while ago. Everyone should


    still remember it vividly.”


    This remark clearly displeased Walter. He slightly furrowed his brows, suppressed his temper, and said,


    “This matter has nothing to do with you.”


    Daniel seemed to have a habit of pushing his luck. Looking at Walter, he fearlessly said, “What? Did


    Ms. Conner divorce you unterally? Or…” He paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Or did the


    Hinton family, upon seeing Ms. Conner in trouble, fear that she would drag you down, so you kicked


    her aside to protect yourselves? Now that things are clear, you need her, and you remember that she is


    your wife?”


    After speaking, he couldn’t help but sneer sarcastically, “Ha, the Hinton family, such arge n, really


    knows how to judge the


    situation!”


    This remark was blunt and sarcastic.


    His voice wasn’t loud, but the entrance of the police station was quiet and spacious. Plus, the reporters


    who were originally gathered outside were here for news. In order to trend, they wished they could hear


    every single word of the conversation here clearly.


    For a moment, the atmosphere was particrly tense.


    After two years of marriage, I deeply knew that Walter was not a good- tempered man. He was usually


    dignified and elegant, acting with restraint, but that did not mean he did not have a terrifying side.


    After all, it’s impossible for a person to be perfect.


    Watching Walter’s motionless ck eyes staring at Daniel’s mocking face, I was afraid that if anything


    happened between the two here, it would indeed be sensational news throughout the city and


    even the country.


    I quickly looked at Daniel and began to speak, “Mr. Monroe…”


    “Captain Lucas!” It was Walter’s voice, deep and restrained, revealing no emotion. I didn’t say anything,


    just looked at Walter in confusion.


    Hearing Walter’s voice, Captain Lucas also broke out in a cold sweat, stepping forward, “Mr. Hinton.”


    Walter looked at him, his face still unchanged, showing no signs of anger. He said, “Bring her a chair,


    and pour her a ss of water while you’re at it. Don’t let her stand too long and get tired.”


    Captain Lucas was confused, but he still nodded and ordered his subordinates to proceed.


    I was also confused, not understanding why he had someone bring me a stool. I didn’t want Walter to


    look at me sideways, his expression gentle, saying, “I know you’re brave, just sit quietly for a while, it


    won’t take long, we’ll go home after we’re done.”


    After speaking, he was seen slowly taking off his coat, his dark eyes coldly sweeping towards Daniel.


    After frowning for a moment, Daniel quickly realized what it meant, scoffed coldly, and then took off his


    coat as well.


    At that moment, even if I was usually slow-witted, I had already reacted.


    Before he had a chance to open his mouth to dissuade him, he saw Walter suddenly raise his hand, his


    fist hitting Daniel’s right eye squarely. Daniel’s reaction was rtively quick, but he still didn’t have time


    to dodge, and the fist stillnded on his cheekbone.
