Jamien was especially meticulous as he scan through the documents on the driver and his vehicle. He didn't find anything wrong with it.
Yet, he wasn't going to let the incident off the hook just so easily. He started from the first page and flipped through the whole document again repeatedly. As he was turning the pages, his eyes made a few unfriendly glances at the driver and Nathan every now and then.
The driver couldn't wait any longer and said with a soft tone, "Sir, if there aren't any problems, may we take our leave?"
Jamien stared at him. "You are in no position to say that we are good to go here. I will definitely dig something up today no matter what.”
Nathan heard his words and his face darkened. He said coldly, "Hold up, what do you mean when you say you'll definitely dig something up today? If there's a problem, there's a problem. Just let us go if there are no problems. Or are you trying to make up some 'problem' for our lack of a problem just so you can detain us?"
Jamien bellowed with rage, "Say that again, rascal!"
Stephen chuckled at one side and said, "Chief Lee, oh my, isn't this brat trying to teach you how to do your job now?"
Jamien glared at Nathan. "Hey little brat, do you believe me when I say I will arrest you for obstructing official duty?"
Sean's family heard the chief's words and became anxious. They immediately tried to get Nathan to put his ego aside and take the blame.
After all, they were in Glyngarth and not Channing. Outside of their territory, they had better hide their claws and be agreeable people.
However, Nathan laughed and said, "Just because you have some bigshot to back you up doesn't mean you can get away with anything. I am right here. If you're really worth your salt, get someone to arrest me now."
Jamien was still racking his brains for an excuse to get Nathan arrested, but now that the latter had spoken, he let out a cunning chuckle, "You little rascal, you're bringing this upon yourself!"
As he got his phone out to order someone over for Nathan's arrest, he muttered in a vexed manner, "I will definitely get my hands on you today!"
On the other hand, Stephen Cote was leaning on a Porsche nearby and smoking his cigarette while enjoying the show in front of him.
Everyone in Penny's family started to panic. All of them thought they were dead meat now that Nathan had landed himself into a big blunder.
This place was nowhere close to Channing, where they would at least have some means to salvage a sticky situation like this!
