Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh pursed her lips. “So, what you’re saying is that Elina’s behind all of this?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Don’t underestimate that woman, especially when she has lost so much in the past,” Jepherson said as he poured another bowl of soup and drank it while it was hot. Beads of perspiration stood out on his forehead.

When Raeleigh saw him drinking soup, she could not help but ask, “What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”

Jepherson didn’t answer her and continued drinking his hot soup.

Raeleigh felt helpless, plus she was getting more and more worried about everything that had happened.

When Zorion arrived at the police station, the Richards family’s team of lawyers had already arrived. Other people were there too, including Alvin.

Alvin didn’t do anything. He sat and waited for his turn to see Santiago. However, the police only allowed Santiago’s immediate family to see him.

Alvin didn’t beg the police officer to allow him to see Santiago, but he did not leave either.

“Mr. Alvin,” Zorion greeted Alvin as soon as he saw him. Although they didn’t work together, Zorion was once a student of Alvin. He was also as respectful to Alvin as Jepherson.

“Mr. Whalen.” Alvin knew who he was, and was equally respectful.

Zorion turned to look at Rossie behind him and said, “This is my friend, Rossie. Mr. Alvin is Santiago’s tutor.”

It was only after Zorion’s introduction that Rossie knew who Alvin was.

“Mr. Alvin,” greeted Rossie. Alvin looked at her for a while and then said, “I was nearby, so I decided to come over and see how things were going. I still have something to do. Since you’re here, I’ll get going.”

“Alright, Mr. Alvin. Take care.” Zorion saw Alvin off before turning to look into the police station.

It was almost lunchtime and some of the police officers were about to go on their lunch break when Zorion showed up.

When Zorion saw no signs of the superintendent, he pulled a chair for Rossie to sit down.

After Rossie sat down, he pulled out another chair for himself. He informed his men that he would be having lunch at the police station.

All the lawyers knew Zorion. Since Zorion said that he would have lunch in the police station, the lawyers immediately called to order takeout.

When the police officers saw Zorion’s attitude, they could not take it anymore.

“We’re going for our lunch break. Mr. Whalen, are you here to visit?”

Zorion did not wait for the police officer to finish his sentence. He turned his head and glared at the police officer. His eyes were deep and his face was haughty. He knocked his knuckles on the table with a steady rhythm while his eyes scanned every officer in the area and the police officer immediately kept quiet.

The police officer knew that he could not afford to provoke Zorion because if Zorion was a nobody, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.

There were only a few police officers left in the station as the rest had already gone for lunch.

The lawyers had ordered takeout for lunch. The delivery boy initially thought that the takeout was for the police officers, so he made sure to deliver it on time. However, when he entered the door, he found out it wasn’t the police officers who ordered the takeout.

The police officers stood at one side while Zorion and his men ate. They didn’t dare to move.

If it were someone else, they would probably have arrested him for public disturbance.

On top of that, they would have set the bail so high that the person would not be able to afford it.

Zorion was different. He did not need to do anything. One of the lawyers suggested, “Mr. Whalen, if you feel uncomfortable, we can file a complaint against the police.”

The police officers wiped their sweat. This was the first time they had come across a person whom they dared not provoke.

After Zorion was done with lunch, he paid the delivery boy whom swiftly collected the plates and trash before leaving. Then, Zorion took out his phone and started playing a game.

Zorion was recently obsessed with a mobile game and even invited Rossie to play with him.

Not long after, some of the police officers finally came back from their lunch break. They saw Zorion and Rossie, gaming on their phones.

The police officers suppressed a shiver and quickly returned to their seats. They were waiting for orders on how to deal with this matter.

After playing for a while, Zorion briefly checked the time on his watch. It was about time for him to meet up with the superintendent.

However, he was informed that the superintendent was not in and that he might not turn up for work today.

Zorion immediately instructed his men to call the mayor and file a complaint.

The lawyers immediately started drafting out the complaint. They looked like they were going to court.

One of the police officers immediately said that it was a slip of a tongue and that the superintendent was most probably on his way back from an important meeting.

Zorion waited for half an hour and the superintendent eventually showed up.

Zorion wasn’t familiar with the man in front of him, so he got straight to the point. “I’m here to post a bail for Santiago Richards. How much is the bail?”

The superintendent didn’t expect Zorion to be so straightforward. He didn’t know how to tell Zorion that Santiago was not allowed to be released on bail.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Santiago is suspected of murder. He is not allowed to be released on bail. Mr. Whalen, please understand. We are still investigating this matter.”

“He was arrested for no reason. How can you suspect him of murder out of the blue? If that’s the case, what’s the purpose of law? Yes, we were at the scene, but that doesn’t mean we were the ones who did it. A few days ago, there was a huge uproar on TV. There were several people killed in front of my door, but you’ve yet to give me an explanation. And today, you decide to arrest Santiago for no reason and suspect him of murder?

Show me the evidence. If you can prove that Santiago was the one who did it, then I’ll leave without another word.”

The superintendent was a little lost for words, but he said, “We have rules. Santiago is the prime suspect of this case.”

“I was also present at the scene and we were there to look for someone, but I’m sure you know better than anyone else who killed the lady. Why don’t you invite him over instead? In addition, Jepherson and Raeleigh are still in the hospital. I also hope that you can give me an explanation about the deceased’s boyfriend poisoning us. I believe that someone will speak on my behalf for your inaction.”

Zorion looked at the people around him and said, “Call the media outlets and invite them over to the police station.”

“Mr. Whalen…”

“We have no other choice since you refuse to be fair and strict.”

Zorion returned to his seat and waited for the reporters to show up.

Not long after, the reporters arrived. After entering the door, they first interviewed Zorion, and the lawyer immediately said, “I am the lawyer representing the Richards family and I’ll answer any questions on their behalf. Mr. Whalen is here to post bail.”

When the reporters heard that the lawyer was willing to talk about this matter, they immediately rushed over to him and began asking questions.

In this case, whoever asked for help first would be the winner. What’s more, more than half of these reporters were from the Whalen family.

When the lawyer started talking about the case, the reporters immediately began the live broadcast.  Some of the reporters even went to interview the superintendent, all whom asked the same questions. “Why was Santiago arrested and was not allowed to be released on bail? Was it because of his bad reputation that’s why they made him a scapegoat?”

No matter what the superintendent said, the reporters always twisted his words. In the end, the superintendent declined to give any comments and quickly returned to his office.

The police station was in chaos. Zorion and Rossie sat in one corner and watched the scene unfold in front of them.

“Are you frightened by how powerful I am?” Zorion asked Rossie with a smirk.

Zorion had been in a bad mood for the past couple of days and Rossie was planning on leaving.
