Chapter 662

Peter instructed his team to bring Kendra to the interrogation room, then escorted Lindsey to the doorway.

After catching a signal from Domenic, he whispered instructions to a nearby officer to accompany Lindsey inside.

After that, Peter led Domenic and Leonel to the reception area, ensuring they were well looked after.

Leonel, observing from the side, noticed the subtle exchange between Peter and Domenic.

This left him somewhat puzzled.

Once Peter had departed, Leonel, sipping his tea, asked Domenic, “Do you know the police chief?”

“No,” Domenic replied, leaning back on the sofa and focusing on his phone, his tone detached.

Leonel looked at Domenic closely and questioned, “So why does he seem to favor you?”

“He’s actually being considerate towards Lindsey.

”

“But why is that?”

Domenic, casually scrolling through his phone, explained casually, “The whole Kendra incident was a blunder for them.

They nearly convicted the wrong person and let the actual criminal off.

They probably don’t want Lindsey making this public.

It would tarnish the police station’s image.

As a visiting professor at a research institute, Mr.

Lopez, don’t you think it’s obvious?”

Leonel was rendered speechless.

Domenic’s remark subtly suggested that Leonel might be well-versed in academics but lacked insight into the ways of the world.

Observing Domenic’s side face, Leonel had to acknowledge his good looks.

It was clear why Lindsey was captivated by him.

Lindsey had even broken off an arranged engagement their mother had set up to be with Domenic.

However, their mother had said that Domenic had nothing but his pretty face, incapable of bringing Lindsey true happiness.

In the absence of their parents, Leonel felt it was his duty to step into his sister’s personal life and honor his mother’s wishes.

“Tell me, how much money would it take for you to leave my sister?”

Leonel asked arrogantly, lounging comfortably with crossed legs.

Only then did Domenic look up from his phone, meeting Leonel’s gaze.

“What’s your offer?”

Leonel snorted.

He believed Domenic was indeed a greedy man.

“If you agree to end things with Lindsey, I can give you that much money,” Leonel said, extending two fingers.

“Two million dollars, huh?” Domenic said with a smile.

Leonel looked down on Domenic with disdain.

He believed Domenic was impressed.

In Leonel’s view, someone like Domenic had never obtained such a large sum.

He was sure that Domenic would eagerly take the two million dollars and leave Lindsey without hesitation.
