Dumping My Billionaire Ex novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 

Alter issuing his orders, Chief Parker turned to leave, but a voice halted him in his tracks. Controlled but fearless, Sharon turned to him with a cold stare. “Is this really how you want to handle it?” 

“You’re spewing nonsense.” Sophie waddled over, retorting. “You two hurt me, my son, and even my grandson. You’re not just going to jail. You’re gonna pay up.” She held up three fingers. “60 thousand dollars, not a cent less!” 

Sharon smirked, scoffing silently. Sixty thousand, quite the demand, she thought 

Although Ethan avoided trouble and kept things honest, Sophie’s arrogance irritated him. Veins bulged on his forehead as he moved toward Sophie, ready to charge at her. 

Sophie jumped back, scared. “You can’t do that, We’re at the police station. Even though she dodged, she kept yelling, “You should get more charges. 

Sophie was clever. She knew Sharon and Ethan were strapped for cash, even if Ethan cashed in his skills. They couldn’t meet her demands, so they might just hand over the house. Without any influence, the Cress family couldn’t challenge her. The house would be hers, no doubt about it. 

Sharon saw through Sophie’s game and subtly signaled to Ethan, shaking her head, reminding him to keep his cool. 

Catching Sharon’s eye. Ethan felt guilty but knew he had to stay calm. 

“I was talking to Chief Parker, not you” Sharon brushed off Sophie, keeping her focus on Chief Parker with a challenging gaze. 

Chief Parker, used to calling the shots, seethed at this defiance. He slammed his hand on the table and marked. “Yeah, you got it” His gaze was intense and commanding. Then he strutted off, hands in his pockets. 

The man beside Chief Parker clicked his tongue disapprovingly. “You have no clue who you’re messing with. You’d better apologize, cough up the cash, and butter him up. Try to get out of here as soon as possible. 

Sharon shot back a cold smirk. Her nonchalance made Chief Parker’s expression darken. 

The man who spoke earlier looked at Sharon with disappoinment. “You young ones, always running around out there, don’t get how things work in our small towns anymore. Here, it doesn’t like the city, where folks bow down to the law. It’s all about tradition. And power. Don’t go thinking you can bring city rules to our little town. Here. Chief Parker’s like a king. Whatever he says, goes 

After that, he shot a glance at Sharon, then went over to Ethan, giving his shoulder a few pats. “Your daughter’s green, but don’t you see that?” 

“We were indeed too green, Sharon responded before Ethan could speak 

Ethan was taken aback by Sharon’s response and glanced over, wondering if she was caving in out of fear. 

Others all shared Ethan’s thoughts. 

Sophie gleefully wiggled her ample waist as she turned to Chief Parker, shamelessly speaking up, “Once everything’s sorted, swing by our place for dinner. Dylan’s cooked up some primo elk meat just for you. It’s a real treat 

“Elk?” Chief Parker, a fan of such fare, grinned instantly. 

Even though eating wild animals was banned, Dylan didn’t give a damn. He often went hunting in the mountains anyway. 

Sharon wasn’t about to waste time. “So, you all just do whatever Chief Parker says? What’s the point of having a mayor or a police commissioner?” 

*Hmph, your family got no pull with the police chief, let alone the mayor or commissioner. Sophie sneered, dripping with disdain. “Keep dreaming. 

“My family might not have connections, but that doesn’t mean we can’t shake things up,” Sharon said with a sly grin, giving the cop a cold stare. “Let go of me.” 

For some reason, her gaze held an unexpected weight, causing the cop to instinctively falter, his grip loosening 

Sharon whipped out her phone and dialed a number. “Alanna, Chief Parker’s overstepping his bounds and chowing down on wild animals, straight breaking the law. Let your uncle know and see if he’s gonna let it slide.” 

“What? Someone’s messing with your Alanna guessed right off the bat. She wasted no time. “Hold on, I’ll handle it right away?” 

Sharon’s unexpected call left Chief Parker, Sophie, and the others stunned. Their faces drained of color, but as Sharon hung up, they gradually composed themselves. 

“No worries, she ain’t gonna stir the pot,” Dylan piped up, wiggling his legs and eyeing Sharon’s beauty, already plotting how to charm her once this 

was over.

Sophie nodded. “Yep, that’s right. She married a rich man before but got broke after the split.” 

Sharon leaving the divorce empty–handed said it all. Her ex–husband must’ve really hated her guts. No way he’d lift a finger to help her now.
