The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 993

Carter was one of the toughest guys on the entire law enforcement team, with only a few who could take him down—let alone someone from the Shepherd family—but a girl managed to counter him? She looked like the least threatening person you could imagine.

James ignored all the stares, walked back over to Mirabella, grabbed her hand, and headed for the door. As they passed the chief of the law enforcement team, James seemed to remember something. He stopped in his tracks and, without even glancing sideways, said, “Curtis, stay behind and settle the score with them.”

After that, he walked out of the detention room with Mirabella in tow.

Curtis instantly understood what James meant. He nodded and said, “Got it.”

The chief, not grasping the full meaning, was stunned for a moment, thinking James wasn’t done with them yet. He lifted his head, looking towards the door, ready to follow, but Curtis stopped him in his tracks.

The chief frowned. Even though he couldn’t take Curtis in a fight, his attitude wasn’t as deferential as it had been towards James. “Mr. Curtis, you…”

Curtis raised his hand to cut him off, without saying a word. He pulled out his phone, dialed his lawyer right there, and put it on speaker. After briefly explaining the situation, he hung up.

Looking back at everyone in the room, Curtis wore a slight smirk, “You all heard that, right? Ten million, not a penny less.”

Before the chief could respond, Carter, finally pulling himself together, spat out through gritted teeth, “Aren’t you and James going too far? That woman didn’t get hurt at all!”

If anyone should be claiming compensation, it should be him. And now they were talking about mental damages?

These two were truly despicable.

Curtis looked down at Carter and let out a light scoff, “You should be thankful you’re worth anything at all.”

Otherwise, today would’ve been your funeral.

“You!” Carter trembled with rage, his whole body shaking, momentarily forgetting the pain from his bruises.
