My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 205

As he thought of that, Chief James’ eyes exploded with greed as he looked at Nicole as if he was

looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

His eyes filled with greed for power and money.

Nicole looked at him as a sneer gently appeared on the corner of her lips.

She gently tapped the table as she said faintly, “The truth is that my accusers were the ones that struck

at us first.

I fought back only in self-defense, and I have measured my strength and did not cause damage beyond

self-defense.

“The stallholder can testify for us.

Moreover, I think it’s best if we can pull up the local surveillance footage and check the surrounding

before I struck.

“I believe that the entire thing was recorded.

As the local police chief, shouldn’t you gather the footage and witnesses before making a judgment?”

As soon as she said that, Chief James’ expression changed.

Yet, Nicole continued casually, “Aside from that, I need to say that, even if I’m responsible for the entire

fracas, the degree of injury on these people isn’t sufficient for you to detain and imprison me.

“The state security laws of Nottingbrook State have a clear code in dealing with matters like this.

I don’t know what law statute you’re referring to in detaining me.”

Nicole was extremely calm, with nary a trace of panic on her face.

When Chief James was questioned like that, his expression turned from surprised to stunned.

He did not expect Nicole to have such an understanding of the local laws, and she did not seem to be

perturbed by his intimidation at all.

She was totally at peace.

“Is it me or you who is in charge here?! If I want to lock you up for ten months, it’ll be ten months and

not a day short!” Nicole’s eyes became colder, and Chief James did not seem to take her words

seriously.

He did not care about the fact of the matter, and he still insisted on arresting her even after she pulled

out the law against him.

‘How brazen of you!’ Just as Nicole was about to say something, a sneer came from behind her.

“Chief James, you look all high and mighty there, huh!” Both Nicole and Zeke turned over and saw

Edwin swaggering in with a silly smile on his face, Seeing Nicole looking at him, Edwin gave her a

comforting smile.

“Nicole, don’t worry, They cannot do anything to you.”

As she heard that, the chill in her eyes melted away slightly.

She did not expect Edwin to come over to speak up for her.

She pondered for a bit, and it was not hard to guess that it was probably Harvey who sent him here.

Chlef James seemed to recognize who Edwin was as a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The Bradford family had a lot of businesses in Nottingbrook State, and they were quite powerful.

However, just Edwin alone was not enough to strike fear in him.

When he thought of this, Chief James gave Edwin a glance as he said, “Mr. Bradford, why aren’t you in

Hustuaburg, and what are you doing here instead?

Edwin was not angry as he guffawed and said, “I’m here to join Gold Session of the Moon House.”

As he heard the Moon House being mentioned, Chief James’ face twitched a little.

He looked at Nicole and said, “You’re here to participate in the Gold Session of the Moon House too.”

Nicole looked at him and said impassively, “That question seems to have nothing to do with the case at

hand.”

Chief James took this as denial and let out a long sigh of relief.

‘If she isn’t the guest of the Moon House, there’s no one in this area that I cannot cross!’ As he thought

that, he said contemptuously, “Mr. Bradford, she’s already convicted for her crimes.

Even God will not be able to save her!”
