Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 513

Her eyes burned with tears and she gritted her teeth in fury. "Brian, sooner or later, I am going to make you see me differently," Hannah vowed.

She pressed on the accelerator harder. Her thoughts infuriated her. Yes, she wanted Brian to see her in a different light but didn't expect it would be the exact opposite of what she wanted. It was to be the start of a horrible nightmare. Instead of making him fall in love with her, Hannah would be severely punished for her actions. From then on, Brian turned into a cruel and heartless man. The people surrounding him knew it would be almost impossible to win against him in that state. They also knew there would be only one person whom he cared about and she was the simple and ordinary girl named Molly.

At the city hall building…

Edgar was in the middle of a meeting, summarizing all the departments' performance during the first half of the year. When the discussion turned to the knife fighting a few days ago, his expression turned grim. "I can't believe so many drugs are circulating in the city. What are the cops doing? If there had been no drugs found during that confrontation, I'm almost sure you won't even have conducted investigations until Black Widow had sold out all the drugs!" he thundered.

Furious, Edgar slammed a folder on the desk. Everyone in the meeting room was taken aback and frightened. This mayor was not an ordinary man. Last year, he was supposed to head on up to the State Parliament. But for some reason, Edgar refused the position and continued to serve as mayor. Though young, he was quite firm. A City's rapid development in recent years was a testimony to his leadership abilities.

When everyone remained silent, Edgar stared critically at the chief of police through his glasses. Coldly, he asked, "What happened to the man caught with the drugs?"

The police chief cleared his throat before reporting. "He was released from detention allegedly for suffering from a serious disease." The police officer didn't expect the mayor to question him during the meeting with everyone present. Cautiously, he added, "He's now at the private hospital of the Dragon Empire Group."

The mayor stared at the police chief, who looked so nervous that cold sweat beaded his forehead. Slowly, Edgar said, "I want every piece of information regarding that man caught with drugs and an after-action report. I want that report on my desk tomorrow, is that clear?"

"Yes, Mr. Mayor!" the police replied immediately. He swallowed hard and expected to hear more from Edgar. When nothing more was said, he blew out a breath in relief.

The mayor shifted his attention to other concerns, including the highlights of other performance reports. Finally, Edgar adjourned the meeting. He then walked back to his office, with Bill following closely behind him.

Although he was steadier now after working with Edgar for more than four years, Bill could still be somewhat fussy and impatient. Closing the door, he immediately started to speak, "Mayor, is Daniel Molly's brother?"

Frowning at the question, he answered in his deep voice, "I guess Molly is back."

It was Bill's turn to frown. "Is there a possibility that the man caught with drugs only has the same name as Molly's brother?"

"No, I don't think so," Edgar sighed. He took off his glasses and put on a grim expression. "I have a strong feeling it's him." He rubbed his forehead. "Molly is back, but I haven't heard about it at all." While he pondered about this, Edgar suddenly recalled Jenifer's behavior in the last several days. Sneering, he tapped into his computer and searched for a news report. It was about the concert held in T City last month. Edgar read through it but didn't find anything odd about the article. There was something in his gut that told him they edited the news.

"Check this report for me," Edgar ordered Bill. "And check if Steven has come back."

Nodding, Bill replied, "Got it, boss." He quickly left the room to get what Edgar needed.
