Chapter 1170
Among those brought here, there was indeed a guy who got sliced on his shoulder, but how badly he was hurt wasn’t clear yet. Upon hearing Jonathan’s order, the cops were quick to respond, promising to take good care of Ms. McClain.
Millard had already hightailed it over in his car Jonathan got in, his face as cool as a cucumber.
With his pedal to the metal, Millard made it to the police station in record time
Straight after walking in, Jonathan headed for the interrogation room, where Estelle was sitting
Estelle was taken aback when she saw Jonathan out of the blue.
Jonathan checked her over a worried look in his eyes. “You hurt?”
Estelle was wearing a dark blue shirt with a cut on her arm. It wasn’t deep, and the blood had already clotted
But the second he saw the wound, his face turned dark, casting a shadow of fear. He turned to the cops and asked, “Who did this to her?”
The cops were left speechless by Jonathan’s sudden entrance and the icy aura he was giving off
Estelle grabbed his wrist and said, “It’s just a scratch. Don’t freak out, the guys who did it are in worse shape than I am!”
Jonathan’s face was still dark. “They pulled a knife. How can I not freak out?”
Just then, the chief walked in and politely said, “Mr. Lamont, right? Sorry to drag you down here.”
Jonathan demanded. “Where are the guys who started the fight?”
The chief quickly corrected him, saying, “it wasn’t a fight. Ms. McClain was just doing the right thing: she saved Yulia.”
Jonathan tumed to look at Estelle:
Estelle raised an eyebrow. Even though her expression didn’t change, Jonathan could tell from her eyes that she was relieved.
His face didn’t light up. Squinting, he asked, “Which Yulia?”
“Here’s what happened.”
The chief explained the situation to Jonathan. But why Yulia was kidnapped and the details of what happened were still unclear.
The two guys they’d brought in were keeping mum, and Yulia was in the hospital getting her stomach pumped, so she couldn’t provide any clues

Because the crime was so heinous, the police had already sent people to hunt down the culprit.
“Can she leave now?” Jonathan asked.
The chief seemed a little hesitant. “We need to wait a bit. We have to take a statement and have Ms. McClain identify the culprit.”
“Then get on with it!” Jonathan snapped.
“Sure thing
The chief broke out in a sweat. The pressure Jonathan was putting on him was worse than dealing with the case or answering to his superiors.
Estelle continued with her statement, and Jonathan didn’t leave. He listened and even watched CCTV footage from the Midnight Bar, which
made his face grow darker.
Seeing those guys lunging at Estelle, his heart clenched. The fear he felt, even after the fact, was something he couldn’t shake.
Twenty minutes later, the statement was done. The cops left, letting Estelle rest.
Once the door was closed and they were alone, Jonathan picked up some disinfectant and started treating Estelle’s wound.
Estelle rolled up her sleeve, revealing the wound more clearly. It was a long cut, not deep but covered in dried blood, making Jonathan’s face even
darker.
He pressed the disinfectant onto the wound. Looking up and seeing Estelle wince, he couldn’t help but frown himself, though his face remained cold. “Serves you right!”
Estelle shot him a glance and said, “If you’re not happy, go home!”
“You’re still talking back Jonathan scolded her, his face dark.
Estelle lowered her head and said nothing more
Even though Jonathan was still angry, he didn’t want to hurt her, so he softened his touch.
