Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 665

This was the confidence exuded by Glendale's top lawyer; even before entering the courtroom, Edward had already secured half the victory.

Christopher reacted swiftly, exerting pressure on Frank. "Deputy Levine, you need to intervene. I've already apologized to her, for heaven's sake. How can he still threaten to sue me?"

Keith also chimed in, leaning in behind Frank and whispering, "Deputy Levine, stay calm. With Mr. Townsend backing us, everything will work out."

With this reassurance, Frank's confidence surged. Nonetheless, he couldn't shake the intimidation caused by Edward's authoritative presence.

Clearing his throat, Frank addressed Edward, saying, "Mr. Green, your eloquence is truly impressive. With you on board, I feel much more reassured. Very well, please take your client back for now and follow the proper legal procedures."

"Well, my client fully expects acquittal. Deputy Levine, I'm particularly interested in your strategy for handling these two," Edward replied, redirecting the conversation toward Keith and Christopher.

Allowing them to escape justice under Edward's watch would undoubtedly stain his reputation as "The Grim Reaper of the Legal World".

"This is an internal police matter and doesn't involve you, Mr. Green. Your role is to manage your client." Frank's tone hardened as he clasped his hands behind his back, asserting his authority.

"In the end, this is a police station, not a courtroom. Even if it were, it's not about acting on personal whims. Oversight bodies and law enforcement are intricately linked. You will undoubtedly interact with the prosecution in the future, so it's wise not to sour relations with us."

Edward's eyes subtly lifted, a glint of amusement flickering within their depths. Was this a veiled threat directed at him?

How intriguing. It had been some time since anyone had dared to tread this path. The last person who did end up serving a 20-year sentence.

What unforeseen twists did Frank have in store for him?

As Edward mulled over this, his heart quickened with anticipation.

Gathering his courage, he asked, "Chief Pembley, what's Helen's background exactly?"

"It doesn't matter who she is or where she comes from. What's important is that you can't afford to upset her. Go there right away and handle this carefully. If things go wrong, we'll both be in trouble!" Pedro snapped before abruptly hanging up.

The sudden burst of static from the phone made Frank wince in pain, causing him to flinch instinctively. When he glanced at his phone again, he realized the call had abruptly ended.

As Frank stared at the locked screen, frustration surged within him.

If only Pedro had called just ten minutes earlier, Frank could have been more prepared for the current situation.

Now, confronted with this predicament, he pondered how he could possibly turn things around.
