Street thug with a charming ability

After seeing them sleeping soundly, Jack signaled Emily and the others to follow him, and they sat in the hall.

He introduced Alice and Sophia to Emily and introduced Emily to them. Both Emily and Sophia were shocked when they heard the identity of Alice, the chief detective of the investigation department. A person with such a high post willing to become one of Jack’s women made them feel somewhat proud about sharing their man with her.

Jack also explained to Alice the reason for meeting her at the agency and the misunderstanding that happened afterward.

Alice looked at him in shock. Seeing that he had easily deceived her like this, she showed a fake angry expression on her face and said,

"You really have a way with your words, even deceiving and threatening a chief detective like me."

Jack looked at her and said,

"It’s not my fault. Who asked you to look so beautiful and misunderstand me as your date? You misunderstood everything from the start, and things escalated to this now.

What, are you going to leave me now, huh?" Jack asked her in return.

Alice looked at the shameless man in front of her and muttered,

"You had your way with my body, and I gave my all for the first time to you that I preserved for my future husband. After all that happened, you think I’m able to leave you?" She gave his chest a playful punch.

Jack looked at Alice, who accepted the truth very easily, and thought it was all thanks to the pink mist ability.

Then he continued to explain the reason for his visit to the agency to meet her.

He told her about Chloe leaking information and the couple who were running the supermarket trying to scam him and Emily.

Alice’s face turned cold once again, returning to her previous self as soon as she heard the information about the leakage and about people trying to scam her man.

She slammed her hands on the table.

"These idiots, I will make them regret being born in this world."

Her face showed extreme anger. Jack looked at her reaction and said,

"Calm down, it’s just a small matter. Why are you getting this worked up?"

"Jack, you don’t understand the seriousness of the matter." She looked around at Emily and Sophia but didn’t mind them. She said with a serious face,

"This matter is really big. I can’t afford this kind of information leakage.

It is a corruption case of the previous mayor of this town. The new mayor ordered this secret investigation and backed me with it.

If the information leaks to the other side, then all the evidence will be wiped clean, and my job is on the line. If I finish this case successfully, I will be promoted to the next director of the central police agency in this Milford town.

If I fail, I alone will face the consequences and take the blame, and I will have to resign from my position."

Jack heard this and felt shocked inside, remembering Richard’s warning not to get involved in this because it involved many big figures. Where did he hear this kind of secret news from? I must ask him about this afterward.

Nearby, Emily and Sophia were also shocked, their mouths wide open, as if they had heard something groundbreaking.

The previous mayor had a really good reputation throughout his career. He won the mayoral election two times in Milford town with a major advantage in votes.

After serving as mayor for 10 years, he was no longer an eligible candidate in the third election. If he had stood in that election, he would definitely have won. Instead, another person from his party stood and lost the election by a margin.

No one would believe this news if it spread outside—that he was a corrupt politician. Everyone would laugh it off and walk away.

That was why both of them were so shocked.

Alice looked at them and continued her explanation,

"The old mayor’s power and reputation are still there—not vanished, but only increased. After all, he controlled this town for a decade.

He is making everything difficult for the current mayor in operating and running this town properly, creating all kinds of problems.

So that’s why the mayor contacted me secretly and provided me with solid proof that the old mayor was a corrupt politician. She asked me whether I was willing to cooperate in this matter. If I was unwilling, she said she would choose another person. But if I accepted, there was one condition: if our plan failed and backfired, then I would have to take the blame for everything.

After thinking about the evidence she gave me and the seriousness of the matter, I still accepted the condition and decided to cooperate with her. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

But who knew that while I was guarding against outsiders, there was a rat right under my nose?"

She looked at Jack and said,

"You don’t have to worry. I will deal with her and the couple separately without involving you in the case."

Emily, after hearing this, looked at Jack with a pleading expression.

Jack sighed in his heart. What a hopeless woman. Then he looked at Alice and said,

"Tomorrow, ask Chloe to come to our house. Then we will get everything from her own mouth. And don’t worry, I can tame her to our side."

Then he looked at Emily and said,

"If it is proved that your friend was a scheming bitch, you promised me you won’t interfere after that.

Think about your daughter. What if both of you are buried in debt for life? What would you do?

Your small properties, this old apartment building, and this house are all on the outskirts of the town. You don’t have that much cash in your bank.

Even though the supermarket was medium-sized, it was still in the center of the town. The land itself would be sold at a high price, even without considering the building.

At that time, without me in your life, you would definitely have taken a loan from the bank and bought that shop at a high price.

After the investigation is completed, your life’s savings will be washed out just like that. It will also destroy your daughter’s safe future."
