Chapter 360 Contact someone ? Cant do that they took my phone , Andrew said with a smile .
Then how can you remain so calm , Mr.
Lloyd ? Elsie sighed helplessly .
Andrew simply replied , Dont worry , someone will come get us out soon .
Elsie shook her head doubtfully .
Donald was the Police Commissioner of Jayrodale with considerable power and influence , and she was not even sure if Silas could help , given Donalds earlier dismissive attitude .
In his office , Donald immediately called Aspen .
Aspen , its all taken care of .
I have the security case right here .
When would you like to collect it ? No rush , Aspen replied .
First , tell me how youll handle this fraud case .
Donald laughed darkly .
As you mentioned , the case involves over 100 million dollars and priceless antiquities .
Once we hand him over to the judicial system , he wont see daylight for at least 20 years .
nas Aspen chuckled and said , In that case , Ill let you send him off for his free lunch as soon as possible .
Donald laughed slyly .
Aspen , Im a straightforward guy , so let me cut to the chase .
Ive been running around helping you with all this .
When are we going to reconnect as classmates and have a private dinner together ? Aspen laughed sweetly , her tone laced with teasing .
I knew you wouldnt miss the chance , but before dinner , I want to see Andrew in prison stripes , sewing away in a workshop .
And dont even think about touching anything in that locked case it needs to return to me exactly as it is .
Donald grinned .
No problem .
With the evidence in hand , getting rid of that guy is just a matter of a few words for someone like me .
After hanging up , Donald rubbed his hands together , his chubby face alight with a lecherous .
grin .
When he invited Aspen for dinner , he had not meant a regular meal his real plan was to book a suite and make it a private dinner .
At their level , they need not say these things outright it would come off as too vulgar and undignified .
Nonetheless , Donald trusted Aspen to understand his true intentions .
People like them did not need explicit words .
They were on the same wavelength .
As his gaze shifted to Andrews locked case , Donalds curiosity grew .
Aspen seemed particularly interested in it , which meant it had to be something valuable .
Scratching his chin , greed began to take over .
Without hesitation , he reached for the case and tried to open it himself .
Chapter 300 After several failed attempts at guessing the code he scowled and called in one of his subordinates .noveldrama
Bring me some tools and get this case open .
The officer hesitated .
Mr.
Warren , technically , this is evidence .
Were not supposed to tamper with it .
Donald slapped him across the head and barked , Dont give me that crap .
Im the one in charge here , and theres nothing I cant touch ! Reluctantly , the subordinate obeyed , but even after working on it for a while , the case remained sealed .
The lockbox , designed by Radiant Group for securing valuables , was nearly indestructible ordinary tools , and even explosives , would not do a thing .
Frustrated , Donald grabbed the case and stomped into the holding area where Andrew was being kept .
Listen up , kid , he sneered , holding the case in front of Andrew .
Be a good boy and open this up , and maybe Ill make your stay here a little less miserable .
