Jepherson drummed his fingers on the table and did not say a word. He turned to look at the other side with a calm expression on his face. Stuart hastily asked, "May I know, who are you?"
Flynt looked at Stuart and said, "I'm the new municipal court administrator of Capital City."
Stuart frowned. The municipal court administrator was the highest level of administrative law. That meant that the imperial court of Capital City was under his control.
Stuart felt strange. How could the Moore family mobilize just as Raeleigh had an accident and control the imperial court?
If so, then did it mean that Raeleigh had something to do with the Moore family?
Jepherson looked at Flynt and did not react.
On the other hand, Santiago suddenly stood up and refuted. "What the bloody h*ll is the municipal court administrator?"
Jepherson cast a sideways glance. Without saying a word, his indifferent eyes were withdrawn and landed on Flynt.
Flynt walked towards Santiago and said, "It means a big deal." "Oh!" Santiago uttered with amusement, "I'll give it a try and see if it's really a big deal."
"You're so rude," Flynt turned around and walked away. Santiago said, "I think you have misunderstood. I meant your rank."
Flynt laughed. "You're worthless. What's there to be arrogant about? Without your father, you might not even have the chance to speak to me. Some time ago, they said that you're dead. I thought you were really dead, but I didn't expect to see you alive. I'm glad for your parents."
"Why should you be glad for my parents? Even if I die, my eldest brother will still be here. What are you so pleased about? Could it be that you're my father's illegitimate son..."
"Shut up," Jepherson snapped before anyone could say a word. Santiago immediately kept his mouth shut. Following that, he heard Jepherson say, "How can you tarnish Dad's innocent name while he's away? Not everyone is worthy of it..."
Jepherson's voice fell on Flynt in the middle of his words. "Santiago's too young to be sensible. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Jepherson sat leisurely, as if he was in paradise. Flynt gritted his teeth. It was obvious that he was insulting him.
"I don't wish to meddle in the affairs of the Richards family. However, please remember that this is Capital City, which is, by the way, not your territory. You'll be imprisoned after you murdered someone."
"I agree with you. However, I think that every debt has its debtor. A life is paid with another, and debts are paid with money. Raeleigh, a powerless lady, can't even kill an ant, but you're claiming that she killed a living person. This story is intriguing."
Jepherson smiled and said, "Santiago, I'll stay here today. You can have a rest. I'm leaving for a while tonight."
Santiago looked at him and said, "I'll take my leave then."
Santiago went outside right after. Flynt frowned and did not understand the purpose of them doing that.
"Give me the files." Flynt went inside. Jepherson drummed his fingers on the table lightly as he watched Stuart. "Prepare something to eat. Raeleigh's body won't be able to take it."
"I know." Stuart went to do it while Jepherson stayed in the police station.
The others stood surrounding them. As Jepherson was there, they didn't even have the nerves to sit down. Usually, they received a lot of benefits from him. Now that they couldn't do anything, they were naturally in the wrong.
Stuart quickly prepared some food and sent it over. Jepherson glanced at the supervisor. The supervisor immediately walked over and took the food away. However, when he reached the door, he was stopped.
Since Flynt's men did not allow Raeleigh to interact with anyone, it was also impossible for him to send food to her.
"We also have to do things, so you..."
"We're law enforcers. Please cooperate with us. Your identity shows that you have to enforce the law as well. How dare you go against the law."
The person on the opposite side spoke eloquently, but Jepherson did not turn around. After a while, the steward sent the food back. Jepherson glanced at Stuart, and he nodded. Stuart then called Mr. Santiago.
"Mr. Jepherson is somewhat anxious. Miss Anson hasn't eaten anything for the whole day." After that, Stuart hung up the phone. Santiago's car was already parked not far from the Moore family residence.
