Avery immediately took out his phone and called the police station. “Give your flawed excuses to the police.”

Darlene felt it was too much of a coincidence, but she still stopped him. “Forget it. Both the person and the car are fine. Dr. Elicott explained the brake was broken. Don’t call the police in the middle of the night.”

When Avery realized Darlene was partial to Nathen, he could no longer suppress his anger and called the police.

There were not many police officers on duty this late at night, but Tom had a friendship with the Gallard family. Tom felt Avery sound angry on the phone, so he was worried something big had happened. He worked overtime and came over with the other two police officers on duty.

Tom came over and saw it was the three of them again. Tom immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s you again. What happened this time?”

Tom approached Nathen and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder. Tom thought of something and retracted his hand. He asked, “What happened?”

Nathen answered, “The brake wasn’t working, and I almost hit Mr. Gallard’s car. It’s my fault. I am willing to go to the police station and make a statement.”

Darlene anxiously explained, “It is indeed a misunderstanding. Sir, I am sorry you had to make a trip here. We can work this out in private.”

Avery sneered, “Misunderstanding? Darlene, your eyesight might be poor, but the surveillance footage got everything. Even if Nathen’s car is really broken, could it automatically crash into my car? We could have died, but you are defending him like

this?”

Everyone was safe, so Avery did not want to pursue the matter. However, he got mad because Darlene was defending Nathen unreasonably.

“You could have used the handbrake. But you continued stepping on the accelerator. Mr. Elicott, this is not your first time driving a car, so you shouldn’t have panicked when a small situation occurred, right? Did you really step on the accelerator as the brake?”

Avery noticed Darlene’s gaze was still on Nathen, and all Avery wanted was to put

Nathen in prison right now. Avery wished Nathen would stay in prison for the rest of his life. Why wouldn’t Nathen just leave Darlene alone?

Avery reached out and pulled Darlene to his side. He stood before Darlene so that she

couldn’t see Nathen.

When Tom was a little hesitant, Nathen said calmly, “It is my responsibility. Mr.

Gallard is right to be suspicious. I can make a trip to the police station.”

“Avery,” Darlene said coldly, “He said his car’s brake was broken. He did not hit your car or hurt you. You are a grown man. Can you not be so petty?

“Dr. Elicott has buckled, but you are pushing your luck. You made him go to the police station many times and got him fired by the hospital. What do you want?”

Avery was angry that his face was ashen. “I’m petty? I am pushing my luck? Darlene, cut your double standard! If I had almost crashed into Nathen’s car just now, could you speak up for me to the police?”

Darlene did not think before replying, “Of course it would be different. You would have done it on purpose, but Dr. Elicott is not like you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the gazes of the policemen immediately became strange. Avery had no way to vent his anger. He raised his hand and pulled off his tie. He was about to throw the tie on the ground when he remembered Darlene might still be pregnant. Avery was afraid he would scare her, so he forced himself to hold the tie tightly in his hand.

Nathen still did not say anything. Darlene realized she had misspoken and explained,

“That’s not what I meant. I mean…‘

Avery sneered and slurred, “I could be intentional, but he could never be? What else could you mean? Since you want to protect him so much, why don’t you just follow him to prison!”

Tom tried to interrupt their dispute. “Well, Mr. Gallard, since Mr. Elicott is willing to cooperate with the investigation, you all can go to the police station with us now.”

Avery did not want to look at Nathen at all. “I have made it clear. You can just check the surveillance footage. My wife and I have to go to the hospital for her prenatal examination. My butler will go to the police station for me. Mr. Dorsey, I will leave the rest to you.”

This incident wasn’t complicated, so Tom did not insist. “Alright.”

When Nathen heard “prenatal examination“, his gentle expression changed, and his eyes darkened as he glanced at Avery.

Avery immediately noticed it and wished he could fight Nathen right now. “Look at his eyes! I suspect he is up to something!” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The police and Darlene looked over and did not find anything unusual about Nathen.

Darlene sneered coldly, “Is there a problem with your eyes? I must think everyone is up

to no good.”

Avery had never suffered so much before, but he couldn’t argue back. He could only pull Darlene into the car with a sullen face and drove to the hospital.

The police took Nathen away.

Tom had just taken Nathen to the police station when Martin called.

Tom got up and went out to answer the phone. Looking at the caller ID on the screen of the phone, he sighed.

Tom couldn’t afford to offend Martin or Avery. Tom was in a difficult position.

Just as the call connected, Martin’s furious voice immediately came over, “Tom, you think you are powerful, huh?

“You don’t dare to offend the Gallard family, so you chose to run roughshod over me! What? You think I will be dead soon and my family is going downhill, so you keep taking my precious grandson to the

police station for interrogation? Do you think we are doormats?

Tom’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he explained, “Mr. Elicott, you’ve misunderstood me. I would never dare to go against you or your family. But your grandson admitted…”

Martin coldly interrupted Tom, “Don’t try to fool me with these false pleasantries. I am not stupid yet!

“I will find Mr. Hayden tonight to ask for an explanation. Tomorrow, I will report your dereliction to the authorities. The Elicott family can’t be bothered to cause trouble, but we are no pushovers!

Tom was very anxious. If Martin did what he said, Tom would be fired and convicted.

Tom continued to explain in a hurry, “Mr. Elicott, it’s not that serious. The police station handles cases impartially. We won’t treat anyone unfairly.

“However, Nathen admitted his mistakes all these times. Tonight, he proposed to come

to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. If he doesn’t explain it, we have to follow the procedure.”

Martin impatiently interrupted him, “I won’t talk to you anymore. If my grandson doesn’t come back before tomorrow morning, I will not let this go!”

Tom still wanted to speak, but beeps sounded, which meant Martin hung up on him.

Martin threw his phone on the desk and coldly ordered the man beside him, “Call Leana and ask her to find out what happened to that kid.

“After his parents passed away, he became weird. And investigate the woman in the photo in his drawer. It’s fine if she’s a decent girl. If she is not, she can never be in the Elicott family!”

As Martin spoke, he still felt angry. “That brat! He refused to manage the company and chose to be an attending doctor. What does he want?”

…

In the hospital, the doctor handed the report to Avery. “Your wife is not pregnant, Ever since the abortion, it has been difficult for her to get pregnant again. Mr. Gallard, don’t you know?“
