Chapter 1768 Accept Your Challenge
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a blurry figure sitting in front of me. Subconsciously, I thought that it was Ashton and murmured, “You’re back…”
Gradually, my vision became clearer, and I noticed that the person in front of me was not Ashton but Nathaniel.
The moment I met his eyes, I instinctively flinched. Is this a dream or reality?
Nathaniel raised the corners of his lips and smiled. “The fearless Scarlett is actually afraid of seeing me?”
The disgust I felt from listening to his voice instantly pulled me back to reality. Looking at him impassively, I gritted my teeth and said, “You’re wrong. No one wants to get near to filthy things. I’m different from you. I can distinguish right from wrong, and I’ve done nothing illegal. But you, on the other hand, have done all sorts of evil deeds. I bet you can’t even sleep soundly at night because you’ll be worried that the police might appear at your door and arrest you.”
“You’re wrong again.” He removed the scarf around his neck. “I’ve never taken those stupid cops seriously. As long as I want, I can get myself out of this situation at any time and live a normal life.”
“That’s just what you think. You won’t get away with this. Justice always prevails!”
He laughed and turned around to look at me contemptuously. “I’ve never seen you argued so strongly in court when you were a lawyer. What’s the matter now? Do you like to argue with me whenever you see me?”
The look in his eyes showed me that he was not afraid of my threats.
Even after hearing what he said, I showed no hint of fear. “Maybe it’s because both lawyers and police are full of sense of justice. Whenever we see anything that’s against the law, we can’t help but exercise our duty.”
Surprisingly, Nathaniel only nodded and did not refute.
