Meanwhile, at Jadeborough's Crimson Palace, Cecilia, Lizbeth, Melanie, and Lyanna eagerly waited for Jared at the palace's entrance after learning he was returning to the city.
They knew he would definitely visit them at Crimson Palace when he came back.
Ever since Jared found a place for Cecilia at Jadeborough and moved Crimson Palace over, Lizbeth and the other girls had been living there.
After all, Crimson Palace only consisted of girls, so it was more convenient for them to live there together. They could even chat with each other every day.
While the girls were waiting, Jared and his companions got off the plane. As soon as they stepped out of the airport, Jared was stopped by two uniformed officers from the Law Enforcement Department.
“Mr. Chance, Mr. Sanders would like to see you. Please come with us,” the two officers said to Jared politely.
Jared frowned slightly. I've just returned and was planning to visit Lizbeth and the girls, yet Mr. Sanders instructed his men to intercept me at the airport.
Nonetheless, since it was Arthur requesting his presence, Jared couldn't refuse. Hence, Jared asked Flaxseed and the others to head back first.
Jared followed the two officers into the car. Then, he asked curiously, “Where's Captain Jennings?”
Usually, Xavier personally attended to Arthur's requests whenever the latter wanted to meet with Jared.
This time, Arthur merely sent two officers over, which puzzled Jared a little.
Jared's question caused a sad expression to spread across the two officers' countenances. Still, neither of them said anything.
However, taking in their facial expressions, a sense of foreboding surged within Jared's chest.
When the car reached the Department of Justice, Jared got out of the vehicle and saw Theodore, General of the Department of Justice, standing at the door, awaiting his arrival.
Noticing Jared, Theodore hastily approached and greeted, “Mr. Chance.”
“General Jackson, did something happen to Captain Jennings?” Jared asked Theodore.
Theodore glanced around before nodding. “Mr. Sanders is also furious about this. Captain Jennings has been beaten into a cripple. His life is still hanging by a thread now.”
Hearing that, Jared immediately furrowed his brows. “Who's the culprit?”
