Chapter 660
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Together, they made their way to the police station.
Upon their arrival in the hall, Leonel, who had been waiting there, quickly approached.
He gently gripped Lindseyâs shoulder and couldnât resist giving her a once-over with his eyes.
Only when he confirmed that there were no signs of harm on her body did he finally let out a relieved sigh.
âThank goodness, you are alright.
â
Lindsey offered a smile to Leonel.
Just then, the police chief, Peter Garcia, emerged.
âNice to meet you, Chief Garcia.
â Leonel pivoted and exchanged greetings with Peter.
Recognizing that this could be the police stationâs chief, Lindsey promptly introduced herself, saying, âHello, Mr.
Garcia.
Iâm Lindsey Stewart.
â
Peterâs gaze landed on Lindsey, and then he suddenly felt uneasy under the intensity of someoneâs scrutiny.
He glanced to the side and noticed a remarkable man standing beside her, who was staring at him.
Peter was taken aback and had a nagging feeling of familiarity about the man.
He couldnât help but entertain a guess in his mind.
The man emitted a powerful presence.
Despite his plain attire, he exuded an air of nobility.
With years of experience in the field, Peter was adept at identifying individuals.
The previous night, one of Domenicâs subordinates, who had delivered a message to him, urged him to handle Lindseyâs case with special attention.
That person also reminded him that the police had become somewhat relaxed lately, and he had received some discreet reprimands.
Domenic rarely interfered with police matters.
In the past, Peter had been just a cop who had handled the case of Domenicâs parents.
Peter suspected that the car accident was no accident but a deliberate act.
Unfortunately, there was constant pressure from higher-ups, and the case was ultimately closed as an accident.
Back then, Peter was a spirited and determined young man who couldnât turn a blind eye to injustice.
Overwhelmed by guilt, he sought out ten-year-old Domenic, sharing his suspicions and the evidence he possessed.
He hoped that someday, Domenic would have an opportunity to overturn the verdict for his parentsâ sake.
It was a chance to alleviate the guilt that weighed on Peterâs heart.
This is what forged a sort of bond between Peter and Domenic.
A few years later, when Domenic gained power in the Walsh Group, he swiftly gained a formidable reputation in the business world for his ruthless strategies.
In time, Peter climbed the ranks and eventually assumed the role of police chief.
The previous chief had hinted that Domenic played a role in Peterâs promotion.
It seemed unlikely for Peter, originally a modest officer from a small town with no influential connections, to ascend to such a high position without help.
Peter was well aware of this.
Though he hadnât seen Domenic in years, he vividly remembered the promise made by the ten-year-old boy.
âIâll find a way to repay your kindness in the future.
â
Now, the man standing before Peter struck a chord of familiarity.
Peter suspected he might be the influential grandson of the Walsh family, leading the Vitality Group.
Peter, now a clever individual, promptly approached Lindsey with enthusiasm.
âMiss Stewart, I apologize for calling you here on short notice, as you are the directly affected party.
However, certain matters require your in-person confirmation.
â
Lindsey gazed at the middle-aged police chief with a puzzled expression, wondering why he was showing her such deference.
