NovelStartWhen Superintendent Donald saw that his savior had arrived, he felt as if his burdens were lifted. He was on the verge of tears. Following behind James was none other than Hunter.
After ending the call, James could not help but feel uneasy, so he decided to check things out himself. He immediately contacted Hunter, explained the situation, and sought his help to deal with the trouble caused by Charles.
Due to James' previous harsh remarks about him, Hunter was still seething with anger and initially did not want to get involved. However, upon hearing that Bella and Justin had stepped in to mediate, he could not miss the chance to see them falter, so he hurried over excitedly.

This despicable, shameless bastard reminded her instantly of Judge Claude Frollo from "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame”.
"Mr. Iverson, I'm surprised you brought him as your attorney." With a casual sneer, Justin asked, "Surely you're not ignorant of the relationship between Hunter and Steven Lovett?" "I'm well aware of it. But why does it matter?" With a mischievous smirk, James' eyes flashed with deceit. "Well, Hunter Lovett is a well-known top lawyer. What's wrong with hiring the best attorney to defend my brother?" "Hunter is Steven Lovett's brother. Instead of helping his sibling, he betrays his family to side with the enemy, seeking to imprison his younger brother. What do you call a person like that? Is he recognizing the enemy or whoever provides him with the most advantage for him as his family? Justin's eyes were cold and mocking, yet strikingly handsome.
Hunter glared bitterly at Justin, his face adopting a mocking servility. "Oh, Mr. Salvador, it's truly flattering for a mere attorney liketo be the target of your personal attacks. I only represent those who offer the right conditions. Is it really necessary for you to get so worked up and morally judge me? You're making my job as an attorney very difficult. Now, according to your logic, shouldn't my colleagues who defend murderers get executed, too?" Then, with a feigned look of astonishment, he blinked and added, "Mr. Salvador, you seem so worried. Is it because you haven't found a competent attorney for Steven? What a predicament this has become. If I had known, I would've declined Mr. Iverson's offer!" Bella was so angry that her veins were pulsing on her forehead.
If they were not in the police station, she would have already knocked Hunter's teeth out and left him in need of hospitalization, just like Charles.
"I don't need to find an attorney for Steven. Why would an innocent man need one?" Hunter had hoped his provocations would anger Justin. However, Justin.
responded with a calm smile, remaining composed. "And even if were looking for one, it wouldn't be you. Even wild animals protect their young. But you lack even basic morals-worse than an animal. You'd suit better with Mrverson. After all, like attracts like." "Pfft... Well said!" Bella clapped loudly for her man, laughing with her shoulders shaking.
On the other hand, Superintendent Donald could not find it in himself to laugh. He was shivering in the corner like a quail.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe room was so tense that a single spark could blow the roof off.
"Justin! Stop spewing nonsense already!" James was furious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Letbe clear. The Iversons will never settle with you guys for putting Charles through so much suffering. Aren't you planning to absolve Steven, shoulder the blyourself, and then use your status as a tycoon to diminish the seriousness of the matter? Well, not on my watch!" Hunter gently patted his shoulder, giving him a look that urged him to remain calm and avoid saying unnecessary things that may reveal loopholes.
et He then moved a step closer to Superintendent Donald and remarked with a casual smile, "Superintendent Donald, it seems the efficiency of your police officers is somewhat lacking. We've been talking to Mr. Salvador and Ms. Thompson for a while now. Why haven't they completed such simple procedures yet?" Superintendent Donald was confused. "Huh?" James, too, was puzzled by the situation.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
A police officer entered, handing a document to Superintendent Donald.
What he said next caused Justin and Bella's expressions to shift tically.
"Sir, this is Steven Lovett's confession and plea agreement. He has signed and left his fingerprint on it."
