The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Instant Regret 

The door to the interrogation room was kicked open. 

Jerome was belligerent. He had been shaking since receiving Otis‘ phone call. 

He never thought anyone would be foolish enough to arrest the new Secretary–General. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the fools also accused the Secretary–General of assaulting an officer on duty. 

Unfortunately for Jerome, those fools were none other than his subordinates. 

At this point, he doubted he could be Chief Commissioner of the police force for much longer. 

On his way to the Ravenwood police precinct, Jerome prayed that Adam had enough sense to restrain himself during the interrogation. 

Jerome made dozens of calls to Adam, but the latter did not pick up. 

Jerome wished his car could go faster. In the end, he arrived at the police precinct too late. 

He knew the end was near when he got to the interrogation room. 

Next to Jerome, Otis looked stormy as he assessed the situation before him. It was clear to see that Adam and his co–workers were trying to force a confession out of the arrestees. 

When Otis saw Dom pressing the front of his chest, his blood boiled. 

“Adam!” Otis barked. He wanted nothing more than to rid Southdale of Adam right now. 

Adam was still glowering at Wynter and the others when Otis called out to him. 

He didn’t bother to look at Otis as he snapped, “Anyone who isn’t part of this case, get out! You’re obstructing official business!” 

Having gotten used to being in charge, Adam never looked at a person before speaking to 

them. 

When he finally bothered to turn around, he froze. “M–Mr. Grayson? M–Mr. Buch…” 

He was so stunned he couldn’t even address Otis properly. He had no idea what the deputy mayor was doing at a small, local precinct such as Ravenwood’s. 

Adam felt his knees go weak. However, basic manners demanded that he regain his 

composure.

He flashed Otis and Jerome a smile as he made to greet them. 

Just then, an icy voice drawled behind him, “If Mr. Buchanan hadn’t shown up, I would have called the top brass and had them transfer a new Secretary–General to Southdale instead. 

Especially since Southdale is the kind of place where a police captain could teach me to play by the rules.” 

Adam trembled at these words. He nearly fainted. The color drained from his face as he gaped at the three arrestees whom he had condescended to earlier. 

He collapsed into the interrogator’s chair and stammered, “T–The three of you…” 

Realizing now that the Secretary–General thing hadn’t been a lie, Adam panicked. He couldn’t believe he had been so disrespectful to a big shot like that. 

Even Otis felt a chill run down his spine. “Mr. Keller, I believe there’s been a misunderstanding.” 

He wanted to tell Lucas how he had wanted to teleport over as soon as he got the news. He 

wouldn’t have dared to dawdle. 

Lucas countered calmly, “Misunderstanding? Would you care to enlighten me on what I’ve misunderstood, Mr. Buchanan? \ 

That I just got accused of lying about my identity, or that a confession was almost forced out of this young lady?” 

The latter part made Otis recall his phone conversation with Jackson earlier. 

He immediately glanced at the long–haired young lady next to Dom.
