Chapter 854 Asking A Favor For Scott

Chapter 854 Asking A Favor For Scott 

While Summer struggled to hold back her laughter, Josie clapped a hand over her mouth in surprise and said, “I think I heard of that. So, it was him! I remember… There seemed to be quite a few suicide attempts that year in Wavery. Was it because of the bankruptcy that…”

Seeing the realization dawn on Josie, the police chief nodded and added, “Because of this incident, dozens of people committed suicide that year, ruining countless families.”

“That’s no different from murder and arson. In fact, it’s much worse!” she exclaimed in shock. Turning to Summer, she continued, “Ms. Olsen, I can’t help but say this. At least he’s still alive. Some people can’t even dream of a family reunion as they are already decomposing bodies. You should be content.”

The corners of Summer’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she gritted her teeth in sheer hatred. “You have a point…”

Josie wanted to laugh, but she held it in. “However, sustaining such a serious injury while serving his sentence is truly unfortunate. How is he now?”

“He has received proper treatment has been received and is now in solitary confinement,” the police chief immediately said to Summer. It counted as a final act of leniency and also a form of assurance to her.

“Thank you, Sir,” she replied, her anger gradually subsiding. Then, she turned to Josie with a smile. “Ms. Warren, ever since I’ve known you, I notice you seem to love meddling in other people’s affairs.”

“I can’t help it. I’m just naturally concerned about others,” Josie responded innocently.

Laura, who was standing behind Summer, could hardly contain her laughter.

“My advice to you is to mind your own business.” After saying that, Summer picked up her bag with a grim expression and walked out. Her footsteps echoed in the empty space, and anger radiated off of

her.

Laura hurried after her. Before leaving, she glanced toward the second floor. The man stood there, tall and straight. He looked mean and hostile when he did not smile, but as he stared in Josie’s direction, the amusement in his eyes was as clear as day.

After they had left, the police chief piped up first and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you for giving me an out earlier, Ms. Warren. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I could’ve refused.”

“It’s no big deal,” Josie responded, smiling. “You’re caught between Russell Group and the Olsen family, so I understand many things can be difficult for you.”

He was surprised to witness how discerning and intelligent she was.

Dexter had orchestrated Edward’s mishap in prison, and his reluctance to help the Olsen family indicated he had taken sides. Josie had figured that out, which was why she intervened.

“Forgive me for being presumptuous. I hope you won’t mind if I ask for a favor.”

Registering her words, the police chief slapped his thigh and laughed. “You, young lady, are truly clever. Go on. What do you want?”

I nearly forgot she’s Dexter’s ex-wife and now has complicated relationships with various people. She wouldn’t have made it this far if she didn’t have brains.

“My request should be easier to fulfill than Ms. Olsen’s, and it shouldn’t put you in a difficult position.”

“Let’s hear it, then.”

After a brief silence, she said, “There’s a policeman named Scott Buncho in Wavery’s police department. He has been temporarily transferred to the Traffic Division, and I’d like to ask that you

reinstate him to his original position so he can continue handling criminal investigations.”

His frown deepened when he heard that. “You know Scott?”

“He handled my case before. He’s a good cop,” she said, still hoping he could continue investigating her father’s disappearance as he had to have the most leads.

“Scott… He did face some difficulties recently, which led to his demotion. However, he was reinstated to his original position a couple of days ago and is still in the Criminal Investigation Division,” said the police chief.

Josie was astonished. “He has been reinstated?”

“Yes. That’s only natural since the investigation into him has ended. You’ve really gotten a favor for free this time.”
