Silas' eyes were stern as he spoke. "I'm here on official orders. The Investigative Bureau has approved the arrest of Mr. Timothy Clemons for investigation. Please let us do our job."
"We weren't notified. We only know that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to step inside." The bodyguard's attitude became more uncompromising.
As Silas smirked, his eyes turned cold. "Do you know that you're already breaking the law?"
The bodyguards had a strong backing, so they didn't take Silas seriously.
"Looking at your attire, you're obviously not official personnel. Given your fear of us entering to make an arrest, I'm suspecting you're affiliated with Schmidt Group." Silas chuckled.
The bodyguards suddenly panicked.
Before they came to stop the prosecutors, Josh had explicitly ordered them not to mention a word about the Schmidt Group, no matter how they were pressured.
They just had to stall the prosecutors to give more time for the Schmidt family's operations. If Timothy was taken away by the prosecutors, it would be a dead end.
So they could only grit their teeth and say, "No! We're not from Schmidt Group. We were sent by Mr. Hodgson to maintain order."
"Oh? You're Mr. Hodgson's people? How come I don't recognize any of you?"
A calm voice, accompanied by footsteps, approached. At once, everyone turned around.
The person approaching was none other than Daniel Crosby, Orlander's chief secretary. He was accompanied by a group of people, all working for the Hodgson family.
Schmidt Group's bodyguards were dumbfounded.
"How dare you impersonate the Hodgson family's men and frame Mr. Hodgson right under his nose?"
Daniel sternly scolded, then turned to Silas with a polite smile. "Mr. Taylor, I think you should issue another arrest warrant to apprehend these people who are obstructing official duties. Get the name of the person behind their back to clear Mr. Hodgson's name."
Silas nodded. "I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Good. By the way, Mr. Hodgson supports the officials' decisions and will spare no effort to cooperate fully with the work of the prosecutors."
Daniel took the opportunity to boost Orlander's image. He was truly smart.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
