My Beautiful Boss novel Chapter 230

Cassie came up to Peter and looked at him inquisitively. Something mysterious was hidden in his eyesight. She couldn't figure it out.

Taking a closer look at him, she realized that Peter's handcuffs had been unlocked.

That made her question him even more, 'This bastard, how can he turn so cold from one moment to another? Was he just pretending because of Jonathan?'

Cassie decided to keep her thoughts to herself and simply indicated she was ready to take Peter away.

With Jonathan behind her, it was not the right time for any inquiries. Under normal circumstances, she would have teased Peter but this time she decided not to.

Jonathan had been keeping his eyes on Peter since he came in, checking for anything unusual in his behavior. A huge sense of relief was growing inside him as Peter seemed to be acting normally.

The moment Cassie pulled Peter up from the chair and was about to leave the interrogation room, Jonathan suddenly shut the door.

Bang!

The sound of slamming door resonated across the room.

"Ah!"

Just as the door was shut, Cassie screamed.

Then Jonathan saw Cassie falling down.

As Jonathan saw this, a savage of smile flashed on his eyes. He took out his gun.

"How do you dare shoot a policeman and try to escape?! Go to hell!" Jonathan shouted directing his gun towards Peter. With no more time to think, he pulled the trigger immediately.

Bang!

The sound of his gunfire rang out louder in the interrogation room.

In spite of that, Peter's reflexes were quicker than the bullet.

"You..." mumbled Jonathan in surprise. Questions upon questions invaded his mind, 'Was Peter still hypnotized? How could he avoid the bullet in a hypnotized state?'

With a greatly amused expression, Peter called out, "Surprise! Oh, you didn't get it yet?" Peter rolled Cassie's body around, showing that she had no wounds. He then grinned at Jonathan victoriously.

"What the fuck! I knew Robin's people are actual criminals. You've been trying to set me up from the very beginning, diverting my attention and hypnotizing me to kill the policewoman.

You knew that would give you the perfect chance to shoot me afterward."

Impressed by his deduction skills, Jonathan remarked, "Fucking amazing! I have to admit I didn't expect this from you."

Peter finger-targeted Jonathan's nose and threatened him to stop messing around. His wide pupils and angry tone did not show even the slightest trace of hypnosis.

The only reason he had been pretending for so long was to figure out Jonathan's intentions, particularly which policeman he wanted him to kill. At the same time, he was constantly on alert, ready to counter any attack.

Once all secrets were revealed, Jonathan had no need to pretend anymore.

So he began inquiring, "Were you hypnotized at all? Or were you just pretending to be? And how could you possibly resist it? The way you behaved was so similar to a hypnotic state."

Jonathan could not believe Peter's acting skills. An Oscar Best Actor nominee had nothing on him.

Peter didn't need to explain himself but he couldn't resist, "Me? Hypnotized? Are you serious? Ha! Dude, I can't remember how many times I would have died if I hadn't seen right through your tricks. Please!"

However, that conversation was quickly getting old for Peter. So he impatiently concluded, "You like to waste my time, huh? Fine! I'm going to charge you with attempting to kill me. Now go back and wait to be summoned by the court.

Oh and by the way, make sure to inform Robin to send someone who is actually capable to kill me. He's embarrassing himself by sending a nobody like you. Was he looking down on me or something? Is he purposely trying to lose his men and give me a freeway to kill him when I'm done with you all?"

Jonathan's fury was growing with every new insult. He was the most skilled hypnotist in the world. He couldn't accept having someone outsmart him.

"Can you at least tell me why she screamed earlier? I heard her voice and watched her fall down!" Jonathan asked. Jonathan was in disbelief. He could not handle his failure nor Peter's insult.

However, that was a secret Peter wasn't willing to share with Jonathan. "It's none of your damn business! Now get your ass out of here before I make you one with the ground. And don't think I won't! You shot at me; so any response would be in self-defense now."

Peter also didn't want to tell him the truth, which was he pinched Cassie's butts hard.

Enraged, Jonathan began retaliating, "I won't believe your tricks any longer. Get down on your knees!" He wanted to regain control of the situation.

So, pointing the gun towards Peter's head, he attempted to hypnotize him once again.
