Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 470

Yosef introduced himself with a smile. "Mr. Sullivan, I'm Yosef Finch."

The police chief, Carson Sullivan, frowned, clearly trying to remember who he was. "Finch?" he mused.

Seeing Carson still not making the connection, Yosef helped him out, which he rarely did. "About the case you took today involving Jack…"

Recognition finally dawned on Carson. "Ah, yes. The family member. How may I be of assistance?" he asked politely.

Yosef attempted once more to invite Carson to dinner that evening, only to be swiftly declined. Left with no alternative, he initiated a conversation outside the police station.

He began, "Regarding Jack's case, while it should be thoroughly investigated, he's always been well-behaved and couldn't possibly have committed those crimes. Plus, he's injured. Is it possible to release him on bail for recovery? As for the rest..."

He planned to smooth over the situation once things calmed down. However, Carson only sighed in response.

"I empathize with family members standing by their loved ones, but facts are unyielding, and the law is absolute.

"Even ancient kings were subject to the same justice as commoners. As a public servant in our modern society, I must enforce the law impartially.

"Mr. Finch, your son's transgressions are quite severe, so, unfortunately, bail isn't an option." He remained resolute, offering no opportunity for negotiation.

Yosef's displeasure grew. "Mr. Sullivan, you may not know me, but you should know the Finch family, right?"

Carson paused briefly before a smile spread across his face. "Of course, I'm aware."

He was not only familiar with the Finch family but also with Yosef himself. After all, it was nearly impossible to find someone unfamiliar with the prominent Finch family in Regalia.

"Doesn't the thought of offending the Finch family concern you?" Yosef's voice grew cold. He decided to apply pressure since Carson seemed unresponsive to subtlety.

However, Yosef had severely underestimated the character of the man before him. Or perhaps his understanding paled in comparison to Carson's knowledge.

The threat was evident, and Carson naturally picked up on it. However, he maintained his calm demeanor.

"I wouldn't dare to offend the Finch family, which is precisely why I must conduct a thorough investigation into your son's case," he said.

With that, he headed back into the police station, leaving Yosef standing there, contemplating Carson's words.

"What did he mean by conducting a thorough investigation precisely because he didn't want to offend the Finch family?" Yosef mused.

Suddenly, he clenched his fists as a realization struck him. "Jonathan..." he muttered through gritted teeth.

It became clear to him that Jonathan must have influenced Carson's decision. "But to what end? Was his goal to see Jack behind bars or to humiliate me publicly?" he thought.

At that moment, Yosef longed to confront Jonathan and deliver a well-deserved punch. However, he knew that losing his temper would only serve to give Jonathan more ammunition for mockery.

Initially, his only concern was preventing Jack's conviction to preserve his reputation. Yet, as this situation transformed into a battle of wills between him and Jonathan, Yosef became increasingly determined to prove Jack's innocence and clear his name.

If Jonathan could manipulate the situation, he was equally capable of doing the same.

Meanwhile, the lunch hour had just passed at the Finch Family Hospital. Having grabbed a quick meal outside, Rose entered the facility with the purpose of visiting Ezra.

His room was situated in a secluded section of the hospital, guarded by a contingent of bodyguards. As soon as they saw Rose, they stepped aside without her even having to explain her purpose.

Surprised, Rose asked, "That's it? You're just letting me in?"

She was aware that the bodyguards were tasked with preventing anyone from entering the room or even approaching the area.

One of the bodyguards responded respectfully, "Mr. Finch has expressly permitted your entry, Ms. Young. Any other individual would have been barred from this area."
