Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020

The police chief, Miguel Brock, had engaged in collusion and accepted bribes. For years, he had leveraged his position to shield criminals, disregarding the country’s welfare and its citizens’ safety.

Now, he was attempting to aid his arms-dealing accomplices in evading the law and assisting a murderer’s escape.

“After careful consideration with the parliament, I hereby decree that Miguel Brock be removed from his position, be apprehended immediately, and receive severe punishment.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped.

The king personally decreed for Miguel to be removed from his position for the benefit of a few foreigners.

There was likely more to the situation than initially apparent.

When Queen Magdalene heard that decree, a smile appeared on her face. She was intrigued. She eyed Miley secretly and winked at her.

Miley’s face was as red as a tomato, In the car, Jeffrey’s eyes darkened. He felt more hopeless than death. itself.

“I-I was following someone’s orders! I had no choice!”

Miguel’s knee went weak as he knelt on the ground. He wanted to cry, but there were no tears. He begged for mercy.

“Queen Magdalene, I’m only a police chief… Others who have higher ranks than me were pushing me to a corner. I have no choice but to obey them. Please, Queen Magdelene. Help me plead for mercy, I beg you.”

“Hmm? Who is higher ranked than you that could push you to a corner?” Queen Magdalene asked lazily.

“The Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Army, Inigo Montoye.”

When Queen Magdalene heard that name, her face darkened.

However, an inexplicable look appeared on the faces of Alyssa and the rest.

As Madam President of Kontina, Miley’s arrival had put a chaotic situation to rest. Even though she wasn’t originally from Tsulu, being a Taylor with a close connection to Queen Magdalene carried significance.

Given the current international political climate, Kontina had forged strong ties with Tsulu.

Jeremy, Miley’s husband and the president of Kontina, had recentl finalized crucial partnerships. Both Kontina and Tsulu were in the early stages of a favorable relationship.

So, Miley’s status held some weight within the royal family. The king and queen were obliged to listen to her to a certain degree.

Dismissed on the spot, Miguel lost his commander’s shoulder badge and knelt weakly. He was then dragged into the police car.

The secretary was ready to escort Queen Magdalene back to the palace.

Before she left, she hugged Miley and bade her goodbye, even though she was unwilling to part with her.

“Miley, when is the next time you will come and hang out with me again?” Queen Magdalene asked, teary-eyed.

“I will visit you when I am free.” Miley wiped her tears away, like an elder sister would for her younger sister.

“But you’re always busy.”

“We will see each other again, I promise.”

Miley sent Queen Magdalene off. She looked in the direction where the luxury car left and waved goodbye.

“Miley, I never realized you were so close to Queen Magdalene. I must admit, seeing both of you together makes me a bit jealous.” Alyssa playfully hugged her arm, nestling her face against Miley’s shoulder.

“Oh, you jealous little bunny.”

Miley laughed lovingly. Then, she pinched Alyssa’s reddened nose tip. “You have so many people loving and spoiling you. You also have loyal subordinates and reliable friends. On top of that, you have a man willing to risk his life again and again for you.”

Alyssa’s heart quivered.

Jasper’s handsome face flashed in her mind, and her heart stirred whenever she envisioned it.

“But I’m her only friend.” Miley sighed helplessly.
