My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

As he thought of that, Chief James’ eyes exploded with greed as he looked at Nicole as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

His eyes filled with greed for power and money.

Nicole looked at him as a sneer gently appeared on the corner of her lips.

She gently tapped the table as she said faintly, “The truth is that my accusers were the ones that struck at us first.

I fought back only in self-defense, and I have measured my strength and did not cause damage beyond self-defense.

“The stallholder can testify for us.

Moreover, I think it’s best if we can pull up the local surveillance footage and check the surrounding before I struck.

“I believe that the entire thing was recorded.

As the local police chief, shouldn’t you gather the footage and witnesses before making a judgment?” As soon as she said that, Chief James’ expression changed.

Yet, Nicole continued casually, “Aside from that, I need to say that, even if I’m responsible for the entire fracas, the degree of injury on these people isn’t sufficient for you to detain and imprison me.

“The state security laws of Nottingbrook State have a clear code in dealing with matters like this.

I don’t know what law statute you’re referring to in detaining me.”

Nicole was extremely calm, with nary a trace of panic on her face.

When Chief James was questioned like that, his expression turned from surprised to stunned.

He did not expect Nicole to have such an understanding of the local laws, and she did not seem to be perturbed by his intimidation at all.

She was totally at peace.

“Is it me or you who is in charge here?! If I want to lock you up for ten months, it’ll be ten months and not a day short!” Nicole’s eyes became colder, and Chief James did not seem to take her words seriously.
