Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 985

With a loud bang, the man's face was slowly stained with blood.

A woman who happened to be passing by caught a glimpse of the scene and let out a piercing scream. The man's companions rushed over. Seeing the situation, they wanted to take action against Lisa.

However, Lisa remained unfazed, holding up the wine bottle in her hand. "Come on, bring it on!"

At that moment, as a lone woman, she exuded a presence of such power that it deterred anyone from approaching.

The bar manager, witnessing the scene, called the police, and Lisa was taken into custody. The bar had surveillance cameras that clearly showed the man initiating the conflict. Lisa was not the aggressor.

But she had been too violent, and he happened to be a scion. This made the situation more complicated.

"This is a case of excessive self-defense," Pierce Yeager, the officer, concluded.

Although Lisa was a skilled specialist, she was also familiar with the law. She smiled faintly and said, "If I had known a bottle would be seen as excessive self-defense, I would have used my scalpel instead."

Lisa's haughty tone angered Pierce, who promptly wanted to detain her.

"This is a place where law and justice are upheld. If you dare to detain me today, I will expose you all on social media tomorrow. Just watch and see," she threatened.

In this age where cameras and social media were everywhere, Pierce didn't dare to act rashly. He could sense there was something different about Lisa.

People often said we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Yet, it was easy to see the difference between the rich and the poor, or between the powerful and the ordinary.

Pierce was also under pressure from the scion's family. To probe Lisa's background, he demanded, "Call your family to come over. Otherwise, you'll be detained."

"I'm already an adult, Mr. Yeager," Lisa said mockingly.

"No, no, it's the other way around. She's the one who injured someone else." Pierce was observant and quickly grasped the situation.

"Is that person dead?" Logan's question made everyone shudder.

"No, he just got a hole in his head..."

Logan looked at Lisa's clothes, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He then turned to Pierce. "Why did she smash that person's head?"

As he spoke, Logan glanced at the computer screen. The footage, though short, revealed the truth—the man in glasses was harassing Lisa. Logan pressed his lips together. "Who's to blame for this? Do I need a lawyer to explain it to you?"

A shiver ran down Pierce's spine as he watched Logan place his coat around Lisa. His instincts, as sharp as ever, had told him she was no ordinary woman. He was shocked to realize he had almost offended someone more important than he thought.

"No need. This isn't your girlfriend's fault." Pierce's attitude took a complete 180-degree turn.
