Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 37

Gwendolyn pointed to herself. “Bail me out?”

It was a bit unexpected that someone would be here for her before she could even think of who to call.

Lucy heaved a sigh of relief. “Great! It's great that someone came to bail you out.”

Gwendolyn pointed at Lucy. “Sir, we're together, so we will leave together as well.”

She held Lucy's hand as if there was no way she would leave without the latter. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Lucy smiled. “You go and look at who it is first. Then only you bail me out.”

“Ms. Ashton, please follow me.” The two policemen spoke in the kindest tone, which made Gwendolyn even more puzzled.

Lucy had already more or less guessed an answer to Gwendolyn's doubts. She figured if it was not Zayden, then it had to be Patrick.

Lucy could not think of anyone else. What a lucky girl Gwen is. It's just that she doesn't realize it.

“Wait for me.” Gwendolyn glanced at Lucy, reassuring the latter that she wouldn't leave her alone.

Gwendolyn followed the police out of the interrogation room and went into the office.

There was a sign above that said “Chief Police Officer.” Gwendolyn had never been inside a police station before, and it was the first time she knew that bailers had to deal with the chief.

One of the policemen helped her push the door open. “Ms. Ashton, please come in.”

Gwendolyn nodded and stepped into the office. Both Zayden and Patrick were there, and a middle- aged man in a police uniform was having coffee with them. He was Neil Lopez, the Chief of Police.

Gwendolyn was momentarily stunned.

Then she apologized, “Zayden, I'm sorry to have troubled you.”

She was sure Zayden was the one who had come to bail her out and figured Patrick might have just come here for work matters.

After all, Patrick's time in the morning was priceless, and Gwendolyn felt that he wouldn't be willing to spend it on her.

Zayden walked toward Gwendolyn, scrutinizing her from top to bottom.

“Are you injured?” His voice was filled with concern and worry.

Gwendolyn shook her head and reassured, “Lucy has been protecting me. I'm fine.”

She was safe and sound, but Lucy's face was terribly swollen.

Zayden nodded slightly. “Glad to hear that.”

Patrick was sitting beside Neil, and his face instantly darkened when he heard the exchange. The atmosphere in the room became tense and awkward.

Seeing that Patrick was visibly displeased, Neil explained, “Ms. Ashton, it was Mr. Lowen who came to bail you out. I also learned about the story behind your case. You were really righteous and brave. Although Jared and the others deserve it, you should have used legal means to deal with such people in the future instead of fighting.”

Gwendolyn was afraid of the police ever since she was a child. She lowered her head like a child who had just made a mistake.

“I'm sorry, sir. I understand my mistake. Will you let my friend go as well? Her daughter is still in the hospital.”

Neil chuckled when he saw how grave she looked.

Seeing as she was someone Patrick had personally come for, he had to be gentle to her to show Patrick some respect.

“Ms. Ashton, you may just address me as Chief Lopez. And yes, your friend may leave with you.”

After that, he said to Patrick, “Mr. Lowen, are you okay with this arrangement?”

Patrick stood up and shook his hand. “Sure. Thank you.”

Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.

Gwendolyn nodded to Neil respectfully. “All right. Goodbye, Chief Lopez!”

Gwendolyn actually hoped they would never see each other again. It was the first time she entered a police station, and she found the entire experience not the least bit pleasant.

Zayden bade farewell to Neil and walked out of his office alongside Gwendolyn.

He was still worried about Gwendolyn and looked at her again. Gwendolyn's face and body looked unscathed, but it looked as if some of her hair had been ripped out.

“Do you and Mr. Lowen know each other?” Zayden asked.
