Smiling, Darnell pushed open the door to the interrogation room. At the sight of Yvette sitting on the chair with a smirk, his smile widened, though it couldn't hide his awkwardness and resignation.

The young police officer inside the interrogation room leaped to his feet when he saw Darnell. "Mr. Tucker," he greeted Darnell and stepped aside.

Suri was stunned to hear the police officer address Darnell so respectfully. 'Why is a high-ranking officer handling such a minor case personally? Is it because I'm a student at Betrico University?'novelbin

Darnell walked to the table. He paused for a few seconds but didn't sit down.

Yvette lifted her gaze slightly and glanced at him. Then, she leaned back casually and crossed her legs. "Have a seat."

The next second, Darnell sat down promptly with his hands on his knees. His posture was impeccable.

Wendy, Suri, and the others were stunned.

"Ms. Zeller, when did you return to Betrico?" Darnell asked. "How have you been? Are you well? You could have just called if you needed anything- why take the trouble to come here?"

Yvette remained cross-legged. Her smile carried a hint of playful irreverence as she arched a brow and replied, "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Tucker."

Darnell wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead, smiling nervously. Yvette's greeting sounded more ominous than friendly to him. Truth be told, he'd rather be sick in bed than face Yvette.

Usually the interrogator, he now felt like the suspect. The roles had reversed-Yvette seemed to be conducting the questioning while he felt inexplicably guilty.

Despite being the deputy police chief, Darnell somehow felt uneasy in his own territory.

"Surely you jest, Ms. Zeller. No wonder I had a gut feeling that something good would happen today. It's because we have an important guest like you visiting our police station," he said smilingly.

His words were so convincing even a ghost might believe them, though they were a complete fabrication.

he been

The two police officers behind him wore bewildered expressions 'Is this really our stern, dignified chief? Has he possessed?' they wondered.

Lowering her eyes, Yvette rested her arms on the table and raised her eyebrows. As she raised her gaze smirked and drawled, "Oh? Since your gut feeling is so accurate, why don't you guess what happened?"

Wendy, who had been anxiously fidgeting with her fingers, looked back and forth between them with curiosity. So Ms. Zeller wasn't lying when she said she could handle it herself, she thought.

Darnell's, she

Darnell's expression was one of extreme awkwardness. Playing dumb, he turned to the police officers behind him and asked, "What happened?" The two police officers exchanged glances. Darnell was clearly feigning ignorance, but they could only dutifully tell him the situation again.. Only then did Darnell deign to look at the shocked Suri. 'Of all people to offend, she had to pick Yvette,' he thought.

His attitude toward Suri was markedly different. That was because he knew someone of Yvette's status wouldn't hit a student from Betrico University without a reason. Clearly, Suri must've done something.

With a stern expression, he asked Suri, "You say Ms. Zeller assaulted you. Do you have any other injuries other than the ones on your face?"

It was Suri's turn to be bewildered. Just as she returned to her senses, she met Darnell's hostile gaze, which caused her to Tremble with fear. After all, she'd never faced such a high-ranking officer.

Paling from nervousness, she stammered, "I-I was hit by her. She slapped me twice in public. T-That's what happened."

Darnell cleared his throat and glanced at Yvette's expressionless yet stunning face before asking Suri, "Did Ms. Zeller slap you for no reason?" Suri lowered her head guiltily.

When Darnell saw her reaction, he immediately knew there was more to the story. His voice grew harsher. "Answer me. Did Ms. Zeller slap you for no reason?"

Suri dared not tell a lie before Darnell, so she nodded and stuttered, "I-I said some things I shouldn't have, but I didn't mean to! I didn't know she'd slap me over a few unintentional remarks

She tried to gain sympathy by playing the victim, but she'd forgotten about Darnell's identity. There was no way he couldn't see through her act. Darnell said gravely, "Since you were the one who started the conflict, you must face the consequences. You don't seem to be aware of Ms. Zeller's identity. She's an International First-Class Interpol Officer.

"If that doesn't mean anything to you, allow me to spell it out for you-you got off easy with two slaps. With how you've insulted her, you won't be able to leave Betrico Police Station today if she chooses to pursue this matter."

Still sitting cross-legged, Yvette played with her phone as Darnell conducted his interrogation.

Suri stared at Yvette in shock. 'She's an Interpol officer? Even an ordinary person like me has heard of the organization, but I never thought a random girl I met on the street would have such a powerful identity, she thought, despair washing over her

Darnell's words left Suri trembling with fright. She was at a loss now.

Wendy turned to look at Yvette, who was busy with her phone, and asked earnestly, "Ms. Zeller, are you really an Interpol officer? Is it like in TV shows? That's so cool! But it must be a da job."

Yvette raised her eyes. Resting her chin on her hand, she replied nonchalantly, "It's all right."

Darnell's lip twitched. "TV shows are misleading! Many officers and secret agents die each year Yvette could speak of it so lightly,' he thought.

Yvette finished the final round of her game and stood up. There were signs of impatience in her Darnell and said, "Deal with this as you see fit.” The next second, she glanced at Wendy. "Let's go," she uttered and headed for the door.

Interpol missions. Only

as she looked at

The whole time, Yvette never once looked at Suri. At the sight of Yvette leaving, Wendy quickly got up and followed along. Darnell rose to his feet and watched them leave the interrogation room before turning to the trembling Suri with a frown.
