But it was just a single sentence, and the black government car, which had only paused slightly before, suddenly shot forward as if its brakes had failed, roaring straight into the wall of the courtyard ahead.

At that moment, Samuel Reed completely fainted, almost scared to death on the spot.

What kind of international joke is this? The dignified daughter of the Executive Vice Governor would be a pickpocket? And part of a pickpocket gang? Not to mention Matthew Sullivan wouldn’t believe it—anyone with a brain would never believe it!!

But how did it happen that someone under his command actually arrested Governor Sullivan's daughter on such a charge?

In that instant of rage, Samuel Reed truly wished he could blow up the entire Huaishui District Sub-bureau!

Chapter 008 Fortunately, Not Too Unlucky

“Teng teng teng~”

Inside the interrogation room, the female officer, who had been watching Jessica Sullivan with a strange look and hadn’t even started the questioning, was still pondering the true identity of the woman across from her. Suddenly, clear footsteps sounded outside the interrogation room.

Judging by the sound, someone seemed to be running quickly toward them.

In a flash, a look of realization—and even more, a hint of fear—flashed across the female officer’s face. It seemed her guess was right: this Jessica Sullivan really had a powerful background. Just hearing the person on the phone say, “Absurd, my Matthew Sullivan's daughter a thief?” was enough to know this was someone important. But she hadn’t expected that, less than a few minutes after the call ended, someone would already be here.

Thinking of this, the female officer felt a wave of relief—thank goodness she had been polite just now.

Still, she was curious who this person rushing in was. As she hurriedly turned to look, the door to the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Then, a middle-aged man over 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly chubby face, stood at the door.

The moment she saw him, the female officer’s face showed extreme shock again. Oh my god, it was the sub-bureau’s Director Foster?

“Hehe, you are Miss Sullivan? A misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. This time, it was my people who acted too rashly and disturbed Miss Sullivan. I sincerely apologize, I’m very sorry.” The newcomer paid no attention to the female officer’s shock. After scanning the interrogation room and seeing Jessica Sullivan sitting there safe and sound, he let out a long sigh of relief. But then, still sweating on his forehead, he carefully walked over.

At this moment, Director Foster truly hated the people who had brought in Jessica Sullivan. When he suddenly received a call from Samuel Reed and heard that someone under him had arrested Governor Sullivan's daughter as a thief, he was nearly scared to death and wished he could skin those guys alive.

This joke had gone way too far. He had practically sprinted here at top speed.

“As long as you know it was a misunderstanding!” Seeing Director Foster’s cautious manner, Jessica Sullivan, who had been sitting all along, still looked angry, but she knew there was no reason to vent her anger on the person in front of her. So she stood up directly. “My friend is still in another interrogation room. I wonder if that’s also a misunderstanding?”

“It must be, it must be a misunderstanding.” With that, sweat beaded on Director Foster’s forehead again. Oh god, he had almost forgotten—there was also a friend of Jessica Sullivan. What a joke! The governor’s daughter’s friend couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person. Even if they were before, after befriending someone like her, they certainly weren’t ordinary anymore.

At this moment, a surge of anger welled up in him. What the hell were his subordinates thinking at lunch? Arresting people like this and calling it a pickpocket gang?

“Damn! Just wait, I’ll skin those bastards alive.” Even though his face was still plastered with an apologetic smile, Director Foster was cursing furiously inside.

But when he saw Jessica Sullivan heading out, Director Foster thought for a moment and cautiously asked, “Miss Sullivan, is your friend also from Linjiang?”

He knew that anyone acquainted with Jessica Sullivan had to be someone of value, but there were degrees of value. If the friend was also a princeling or princess from the provincial capital, then as the sub-bureau chief, he’d really be finished. But if it was just an ordinary friend of Jessica Sullivan, it would be much easier to handle.

“No, we didn’t know each other before. Today, I lost my wallet, and he found it and returned it to me. I even tried to give him money to thank him, but he refused. So I think someone like that couldn’t possibly be a pickpocket.” As Director Foster asked, Jessica Sullivan paused, thought for a moment, and finally told the truth.

Although she didn’t believe Grace Bennett was a thief, this kind of thing really couldn’t be judged by appearances alone. Even if she wanted to help, as long as she made her identity clear, she believed the police here wouldn’t dare make a hasty decision and would definitely give Grace Bennett a fair result. By then, as long as she hadn’t misjudged, he would be able to leave.
