Zane was directly promoted by Wyatt.
Since Danielâs downfall, Jonathan, who had been conspiring with Daniel, was also found guilty of various corruption and bribery charges, resulting in his removal.
Zane wisely stayed silent behind Wyatt, not wanting to disturb them.
He didnât know the man and woman in front, but seeing Wyattâs respectful attitude, he was more than surprised and realized that these three individuals were influential, Wyatt turned his head and glanced at Zane, prompting him to move a little closer.
Wyatt took the initiative to introduce Zane to Jeremiah, partly due to his motives.
Zane was one of Wyattâs faction members, and Wyatt had high hopes for Zane, even considering taking Zane to Betrico in the future. Introducing Zane to Jeremiah and leaving a good impression was a rare opportunity not everyone had.
âMr. Chavez, this is Zane Chappell, the chief of the Seacrity Police Department. Heâs leading the investigation into Mr.
Chambersâs car accident,â Wyatt said.
Zane quickly chimed in, âMr. Chavez, nice to meet you. Iâm Zane Chappell.â
Even Andrew could notice Wyattâs little schemes, let alone Jeremiah and Yvette.
Jeremiah nodded slightly, his face expressionless. He simply replied, âHmm.â
Zane was already quite satisfied. Even Wyatt only got a one-word reply from Jeremiah. Zane felt satisfied to receive the same reply.
Jeremiah turned slightly towards Yvette, lowering his voice in a deeply magnetic way.
âDid we leave the milkshake in the car?â Jeremiah asked.
Yvetteâs eyes were downcast. Upon hearing this, she lifted her head a bit, her profile breathtakingly beautiful.
She raised an eyebrow. In the sweltering heat, her voice was calm enough to soothe a restless heart.
âYes,â Yvette said.
As soon as Andrew heard this, he offered to go back to the car to get it for Yvette.
Jeremiah glanced at Andrew. With a calm tone, Jeremiah said, âNo need, Iâll go myself,â then he added to Yvette, âWait for me.â
Yvette slipped one hand into her pocket and stood there casually and lazily, nodding at his words.
âAlright,â Yvette said.
Andrew stood next to them, thinking, âI feel a sourness that couldâve made my teeth fall out. I could say that it is indeed Mr.
Chavez, whoâd ditch friends for a romantic interest without a second thought.â
Even though Wyati had already seen Jeremiahâs behavior towards Yvette a few times, he couldnât help but think that even the toughest man couldnât escape love.
Jeremiah quickly returned with a milkshake.
They entered the police station one after the other.
Zane, at the back, felt he needed to ask about the identities of the three, especially Jeremiah. So he quickened his step to catch up with Wyatt.
He asked in a low voice, afraid that someone might overhear, âWyatt, is Mr. Chavez from Betrico?â
Wyatt turned his head, his face serious, and nodded slightly.
After the uproar caused by Daniel last time, most people at the police station already knew about Jeremiahâs identity, so there was no point hiding it anymore.
Wyatt glanced at the three people in front: handsome men and beautiful women, all with incredibly high status. They had. money, power, and status. They were all people at the top of the pyramid.
âJeremiah, the leading figure of the Chavez family for three generations, the grandson whom Mr. Jase Chavez values most highly. Heâs also the youngest general in Clusia. You must have noticed the girl with Mr. Chavez, but she has another identity.
Have you heard of Cyanbird?â Wyatt said.
Zane took a deep breath to calm himself, though his voice was still slightly unsettled. He never imagined meeting someone as significant as Jeremiah in his lifetime.
âHow could someone like me, a small-time police station chief, have any connection with such an important figure?â Zane thought.
âCyanbird? Are you talking about that mysterious painter whoâs been the most high-profile internationally in recent years? Iâve heard of her. My brother-in-law is into art and admires her. He constantly mentions her name to us. Why did you suddenly bring her up?â Zane asked.
Wyatt stared at Zane, with a look that plainly said, âHow can you be so clueless?â
In the next moment, Zane stiffly raised his head, his voice trembling a little as he stammered out a few words, âAre you saying that the daughter the Chambers family found is the world-famous Cyanbird?â
Wyatt nodded, his expression serious.
âYes, Mr. Chavezâs girlfriend, who the Chambers family had lost for over twenty years, is the girl who just stood in front of you-
Cyanbird herself,â Wyatt said.
At this moment, Zane didnât know how to describe his emotions, âThese two big shots are truly something else. Their identities are astonishingly intimidating,â Zane thought.
He felt cold sweat breaking out all over him despite the hot summer day.
Having reached this point in his questioning, Zane pointed to Andrew, who had been talking non-stop beside them.
âWyatt, who is this?â Zane asked.
Wyatt glanced at Andrew ahead, his tone softening a bit.
âWell, thatâs Andrew, the most beloved grandson of Betricoâs Arnold family head, and the son of Tim Arnold,â Wyatt said.
Zane wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking, âWhat a relief! At least this identity isnât so frightening anymore!
After wiping once more, he finally realized. Who was Tim Arnold?
Zane swallowed hard, looking at Wyatt, asking, âThe Tim Arnold you are talking about, is he the Commander of the Betrico Military District?â
Wyatt nodded.
Zane finally inderstood why Wyatt had come in person to interrogate a truck driver.
Even for a police station chief like Zane, this accident case was beyond his jurisdiction. Why had Wyatt set aside his political responsibilities to manage it personally?
The victim, Zachary, was expected to become the in-law of the future senior leader.
âHow could I justify myself if we donât get any answers from this interrogation?â Zane thought.
Originally, Zane was about to suggest to Wyatt to head back, and he would send someone to do a routine questioning and call it a day.
Fortunately, Zane kept his mouth shut. It was like saving his own life.
As Jeremiah, Yvette, and Andrew walked into the room, the entire office suddenly fell silent.
Bystanders were amazed by the trioâs stunning looks. Meanwhile, the police officers were all completely stunned.
They couldnât forget these three, especially Jeremiah. Back then, Jeremiahâs military uniform with a Major General insignia was unforgettable.
Just one day later, Daniel and Jonathan were both arrested. Everyone knew it was because of the girl standing in front of them.
Andrew wasnât unfamiliar either. He was the one who dragged Danielâs reputation through the mud.
The police officers were surprised to see Wyatt in the morning. Now, seeing Jeremiah, Yvette, and Andrew appear together really scared them.
Suddenly, a man stepped out from the side. It was Lachlan, the experienced cop who had questioned Yvette last time.
After Yvette gave Lachlan a prescription, and he took it as directed, his health improved remarkably. Even the rheumatism he had since his younger days got better. His back no longer ached, and his legs didnât hurt anymore.
Lachlan never got the chance to thank Yvette, and he didnât expect her to be back at the police station.
Lachlan was out on duty, unaware of Zacharyâs car accident.
Seeing Yvette, Lachlan was clearly excited and eagerly spoke to her, âMs. Zeller, what brings you here? Is there something you need? I have to tell you, the medicine you gave me last time worked wonders. Iâm feeling fantastic!â
Lachlan was truly thrilled, his eyes fixed only on Yvette, completely ignoring Jeremiah and Andrew who were right there.
After finishing his sentence, Lachlan finally saw Jeremiah standing to the side, making his heart skip a beat. He quickly bowed his head and said, âGeneral.â
The mention of the General left the bystanders and some of the detainees in shock.
It was uncommon to see someone of such rank outside of a TV screen, now standing right before them. Who wouldnât be confused?
A few petty thieves, feeling guilty, dropped their tough act and kept silent.
Yvette glanced calmly at Lachlan and spoke in a leisurely manner. âJust handling some business. Youâre in good shape now, so you can stop taking the medicine.â
Lachlan was beaming with joy.
Even though the medicine-worked, it was traditional medicine and it was bitter. When Yvette said he could stop taking it, he was overjoyed and nodded eagerly, excited to finally quit. âAlright, alright, Iâll stop as soon as I get home, Ms. Zeller,â Lachlan said.
