"Are you alright? You’re out already?" Just now, while waiting there, Jessica Sullivan had seen with her own eyes as Charles Thompson and his companion left in disgrace. Especially on Charles Thompson’s face, there was a clear handprint. Naturally, Jessica Sullivan understood what had happened.

But she hadn’t expected Grace Bennett to be released so quickly.

Logically, she had already made it very clear to Richard Foster about her relationship with Grace Bennett. Even if he didn’t dare to make a rash judgment, he shouldn’t have been able to clear things up so fast, right?

"Heh, it was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. It’s all been cleared up." Just as Jessica Sullivan was wondering, Richard Foster quickly caught up from behind. After glancing at Grace Bennett, he smiled and explained.

This made her feel a bit odd. She really didn’t believe they could investigate so quickly. Maybe they hadn’t investigated at all—perhaps it was just because Grace Bennett was her friend, so there was no need to check.

Although she felt they hadn’t really investigated and were just considering her, she also didn’t believe for a second that Grace Bennett was a thief. So she smiled at Grace Bennett and said, "Let’s go."

"Mm, thank you for this time." Grace Bennett immediately nodded. This time, he truly had to thank Jessica Sullivan. Otherwise, this matter would definitely have reached that person’s ears. So his thanks were very sincere.

After that, the two of them walked side by side out of the police station. Only after they had completely left did Richard Foster, who had been keeping a smiling face behind them, finally let out a long sigh of relief. But the next moment, his expression changed drastically as he suddenly shouted to the side, "Bring Charles Thompson and Andrew Harris to my office!"

Yes, it was time to thoroughly understand the inner world of those two disabled individuals!!

He really doubted—if it wasn’t for brain damage, how could they believe that the son of the municipal party secretary and the daughter of the executive vice governor would be stealing on the street? And even bring them in?

Very soon, with faces full of anger, Thompson and Harris arrived at Richard Foster’s office, both trembling with fear.

As soon as they entered, the two of them put on mournful faces and said to Richard Foster, "Director Foster, we were set up in this matter too! If someone hadn’t sworn up and down that they were thieves, we wouldn’t have dared to make a move!"

Although the two of them still didn’t know the identities of those people, just looking at Richard Foster’s reaction, they knew how big a mess they had made. How could they not be shocked and angry?

"Who set you up?!" Richard Foster, his face full of anger, suddenly had a flash of realization in his eyes after hearing this. In such a situation, aside from being set up, he really couldn’t think of any other reason for their absurd actions.

But realization was one thing—Richard Foster’s anger didn’t subside in the slightest. In fact, it only grew stronger, because the ones being set up weren’t just Charles Thompson and his companion, but him, Richard Foster!

After all, if Governor Luo and Secretary Xu decided to pursue this matter, the first person they’d look for would definitely be him, the one with a name and a title, not just two ordinary police officers.

"Damn! This isn’t just setting you up, it’s setting me up! Who the hell said that Governor Luo’s daughter and... are thieves?!" Now that he understood everything, Richard Foster was so furious that he started cursing outright.

His outburst made the two already terrified officers go weak at the knees. What? Governor Luo’s daughter? Oh god, they finally realized just how outrageous and ridiculous their actions had been.

"Director Foster? That Grace Bennett?" Although he was nearly scared out of his wits, Andrew Harris managed to stay barely conscious and looked at Richard Foster, because only they knew the truth of the matter. At the very beginning, Brian Carter hadn’t told them to arrest Jessica Sullivan. But from Richard Foster’s tone just now, that Grace Bennett didn’t seem simple either?

"Grace Bennett? Hah! You’d better not know! Even if you do, keep it to yourselves. If word gets out, the three of us will all be sent packing!! Damn it, you actually believed someone like that was a thief? What a joke!!" If Andrew Harris hadn’t asked, Richard Foster’s fury wouldn’t have flared up again.

But even in his rage, Richard Foster had to deliberately emphasize Grace Bennett’s importance. Indeed, although he couldn’t tell Thompson and Harris the identity of Grace Bennett, what if they recognized him in the future? After all, Grace Bennett was also from Ning City and was the number one crown prince. Running into him by coincidence wouldn’t be that rare. If these two spread the story again, wouldn’t he be violating Grace Bennett’s instructions? That would be another disaster.

And with the other party’s tone even more fearful than when mentioning Jessica Sullivan, at the mention of Grace Bennett, Charles Thompson and his companion both gasped in shock, feeling even weaker at the knees. Oh god, one Governor Luo wasn’t enough? And the main figure was even more terrifying?

Just then, Charles Thompson’s phone suddenly started ringing.

This startled all three of them. Then, Charles Thompson took out his phone, and as soon as he saw the caller ID, he was so furious that his hair stood on end, his brow flushed red, and with tears in his eyes and a choked voice, he said, "Director Foster, it’s him, he’s the one who set us up! Don’t worry, even if it costs me my life, I’ll make sure that kid never has peace!"
