A sharp female voice rang out, the conference room door was pushed open, and Ethan Foster, face pale, stood at the doorway. Her neat, white teeth gently bit her lower lip, and her slender body trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, for her to appear here showed just how much courage she had mustered.

“Officer, it was these people who were fighting and acting like hooligans at school. My classmate was standing up for justice. Why aren’t you arresting these hooligans? Why are you handcuffing my classmate?”

Ethan Foster trembled for a moment, then suddenly calmed down, straightened her body, and spoke clearly, word by word, her eyes fixed on Chief Reed, her face full of stubbornness.

“Who are you?”

Chief Reed shouted.

“I am Ethan Foster. This incident today was caused by me. I can testify…”

“Hmph, what can you testify? They already admitted to fighting…”

“It wasn’t fighting, it was self-defense!”

Chief Reed said angrily, “How would you know if it was self-defense or not? Do I need you to teach me? Lock them up first, investigate thoroughly, and if it really was self-defense, of course we’ll let them go.”

“All of our classmates can testify, Uncle Reed.”

At this moment, another crisp voice sounded—it was Sean Miller, who appeared gracefully at the conference room door, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ethan Foster.

“It’s you? Xiao… Little Miller?”

Chief Reed immediately furrowed his brows.

Of course, he remembered Hugh Miller’s beautiful daughter, just not her name.

But why would Hugh Miller’s daughter come here to stir things up?

Something’s not right!

For a moment, Chief Reed really felt his mind go blank.

“Director, shouldn’t we be a bit more cautious?”

Olivia Harris said in a low voice.

Aside from the case being clear, Olivia Harris always felt these two sophomore boys were too unusual. If Chief Reed acted recklessly, it could cause big trouble. She didn’t believe this was just a case of youthful bravado.

“Lock them up first, so nothing else happens.”

Chief Reed said sternly, face stiff.

These two kids were so unruly—if they weren’t controlled first, they might end up losing more teeth, and then things would be even harder to handle.

“Uncle Reed!”

Sean Miller grew anxious and stomped her foot lightly.

“Little Miller, this is an adult matter. You kids don’t understand. Don’t get involved, hurry back to class.”

At last, Chief Reed managed a smile.

No matter what, he had to give Hugh Miller some face.

“Sean Miller, what are you doing here?”

Just as things were getting heated, a voice sounded, full of surprise.

“Dad!”

Sean Miller was overjoyed and called out excitedly.

Footsteps echoed, and from the stairwell corner emerged none other than her father, the famous Mr. Miller III of Weizhou City.

“Dad, please talk to Uncle Reed. This really isn’t their fault—it was those people who came to the school to cause trouble…”

Sean Miller pointed into the conference room, bouncing up and down.

“All right.”

Hugh Miller nodded with a smile.

The renowned Mr. Miller III of Weizhou City had a well-known nickname—the Smiling Tiger.

In front of his own children, Mr. Miller III was always all smiles.

Hugh Miller’s doting on his children was also famous.

No wonder Sean Miller was so happy to see her dad, bouncing around like a child.

Hugh Miller ruffled his daughter’s shiny black hair and said with a smile, “Sean Miller, go back to school and attend class. Leave this matter to Dad.”

“No, I want to stay here and watch you handle it.”

Sean Miller shook her body stubbornly, her eyes glancing only at Ryan Carter’s face inside the conference room, as if worried that Ryan Carter would suffer.

Well, she had already angered Chief Reed just now.

After all, she was still a child, lacking social experience, unable to read the room, and had put Chief Reed on the spot in front of so many people—how could that end well?

“That won’t do. If you stay here watching, Dad will get distracted… Don’t worry, Dad promises you, I won’t let them suffer.”

Hugh Miller still smiled, coaxing her like a child.

Surprisingly, Sean Miller really bought it. After hesitating a moment, she said, “All right, I promise you, I’ll go back to school first… But you have to promise me, you absolutely can’t let them suffer, especially not detain them, okay?”

Technically, Hugh Miller couldn’t decide this.

But in Sean Miller’s eyes, her dad had the final say.

He had settled matters far more serious than this with just a word.

“All right, Dad promises you. Hugh Miller, take Sean Miller back to school.”

Hugh Miller didn’t hesitate, agreeing readily and instructing the driver who had come with him.

“No need, the school is so close, I can walk.”

With her dad’s promise, Sean Miller was overjoyed, beaming with happiness.

“Let Hugh Miller take you anyway. The sun is strong now—if you get tanned, you won’t look as pretty.”

Hugh Miller ruffled his daughter’s little head again, his face full of doting affection.
