The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 154

Madeline took a swift step back, snatched a glass of champagne from the table, and threw it right in his face.

"You've had too much to drink, Mr. Lancaster. Let me help you sober up."

"Now, can you answer my questions?"

Drenched in alcohol, Lyle was furious while the two models beside him gasped in shock. He instantly flew into a humiliating rage.

"You dare attack me?"

"That's hilarious. I've never been humiliated like this in The Capital. Looks like I need to teach you a lesson and remind you exactly where you are."

"Well, this is lively."

York's voice echoed from behind them.

Dressed in a sharp, tailored black suit, he looked at Madeline with a cryptic smile.

"Mrs. Yates, you certainly keep a low profile outside. You've even got strangers trying to teach you lessons."

Madeline froze briefly. Her eyes caught the red burn mark on York's hand before she quickly looked away.

How did York know she was here?

Naturally, Lyle recognized York, and his face instantly turned an ugly shade of purple.

"Mr. Yates, your wife approached me first."

"And?"

York reached out a long arm and pulled Madeline by her slender waist right against him.

"If you think she doesn't have the right to ask you questions, what about me?"

As he spoke, York pulled his DA's badge from his breast pocket.

"Lyle, let's go. Take a trip to The DA's Office with me. I happen to have a few questions for you myself."

"If you cooperate with the investigation, everything will go smoothly. If not, I'll make sure you understand exactly who I am in The Capital."

Lyle suddenly grew agitated.

"Mr. Yates, I haven't committed any crimes. You have no right to—"

"Cooperating with an investigation is every citizen's duty. Or would you prefer I call the police to drag you in for questioning?"

York raised a lazy eyebrow.

Moments later, two uniformed officers approached.

York jerked his chin toward Lyle.
