Chapter 192 Charles Gets Arrested
Alex lifted his chin slightly. “I can overlook all the offenses you’ve committed against me before.”
Nina just arched an eyebrow. “Sorry, I’m laughing because what you guys are saying is just… absolutely hilarious.”
Seeing Alex lower himself like that and still get rejected, Charles snorted, “It is funny, Nina, because you’re the joke here.”
Before he could finish, the door on one side of the reception hall swung open.
Claire stepped in, her tailored white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses highlighting her sharp, icy intellect.
She moved with calm confidence, six veterinary experts in matching white coats trailing behind her.
Each wore an internationally certified badge on their chest, their synchronized steps and commanding presence making the atmosphere downright intimidating.
Claire swept her cool gaze across the room and gave Karim a professional nod. “Mr. Karim, the Summer Group’s international vet team is in position. We’re ready to begin the full inspection whenever you say the word.”
In that instant, Claire and the perfectly lined-up experts behind her looked just like a well-drilled elite unit.
The whole scene was straight-up impressive.
Charles and Alex were decked out in sharp suits, while Claire led her squad of experts. Together, they lined up in a half-arc, practically boxing Nina in.
The whole setup was like a silent show of force, their numbers and presence pressing down, as if they wanted to crush her with sheer momentum.
But right in the middle of all that drama, Nina was totally unfazed, nibbling on pastries the waiter had just brought over like she didn’t have a care in the world.
Charles saw her snacking away without a care, and his eyes flashed with open contempt. “Guess you really do have poverty in your veins. People like you will never make it to the top.”
His voice was quiet but clear enough for everyone to hear. “You see food and just can’t help yourself, huh? Like you’ve never seen a decent meal in your life.”
Nina didn’t get upset at all. Instead, she casually picked up another delicate macaron and said genuinely, “These pastries are actually pretty good. Want to try one?”
She smirked, something sharp flickering in her eyes. “You should eat up while you can.
“Pretty soon, you might not get to taste anything this fancy again.”
Claire frowned and interrupted, “Nina, you’re so worked up you’re just spouting nonsense. Is there anything the Summer family can’t get their hands on?”
She turned to Karim with a professional smile. “Mr. Karim, you can rest easy. The Summer Group will be overseeing everything today to make sure your Akhal-Teke is in perfect hands.”
Karim, sitting comfortably, couldn’t help but be impressed by the Summer family’s powerhouse team of experts. “The Summer family really is the best in Eastland when it comes to animal medicine. No wonder you guys have such a stellar reputation.”
After the translation, the Summer family members were all grinning with obvious pride.
Even with the Summer family closing in on her, Nina kept her cool like it was nothing.
She’d stared down wolf packs and hyenas out in the wild before.
This kind of fake intimidation didn’t even register compared to that.
Nina acted like the whole crowd was invisible, casually waved over a waiter, and smiled, “Hi, could you box these pastries up for me?”
Claire’s eyes flashed with a hint of contempt that was almost impossible to catch.
But then she put on a caring expression, her voice perfectly gentle. “Nina, it’s still not too late to come home. We just happen to need an assistant for this surgery.”
She sounded so sincere, like she really cared. “If you want, there’ll always be pastries like this at home for you.”
Charles adjusted his collar, his tone dripping w Successfully

Chapter 192 Charles Gets Arrested
Charles glanced at his expensive watch and turned to Karim. “It’s about time. Mr. Karim, I’ll head over to the medical center to make sure everything’s set up for your horse’s checkup.”
Before leaving, he shot Nina a look full of contempt. “I show you a little respect and you don’t even know your place. You really think you alone can shake the Summer Group?
“I can’t wait to see just how pathetic you’ll look when you start crying today.”
With that, Charles turned to leave.
“Wait.” Nina suddenly stepped up and grabbed his sleeve. “Hold on. Don’t leave just yet.”
Claire’s lips curled into a subtle, satisfied smile.
Just as she thought, when real power was in play, everyone ended up giving in.
The Summer family’s offer was on a whole other level. Someone as poor as Simon couldn’t even hope to compete.
Charles looked a bit surprised when Nina grabbed his sleeve, but then he raised an eyebrow, a knowing smirk on his face.” Looks like she’s finally come to her senses and wants to come home,’ he thought.
He turned around with a smug, victorious smile. “Now that you finally get it…”
Before he could even finish his words, there was a sharp click.
Right in front of everyone’s stunned faces, Nina whipped a pair of shiny handcuffs out of her pocket and snapped them onto Charles’s right wrist in one smooth motion.
Nina’s voice rang out, clear and unwavering. “Charles, you’re under arrest.”
“Nina, have you lost your mind?” Alex stared in disbelief as Charles was suddenly cuffed, the shock hitting him hard. Instinctively, he rushed forward, trying to stop Nina.
Just when things were about to go off the rails, the VIP elevator at the far end of the reception hall chimed, and the doors slid open.
Inside, Quentin and Simon stood on either side, flanking each other.
Quentin was rocking a custom black riding suit, broad shoulders and a slim waist, giving off a vibe that was both elite and intimidating.
Simon was decked out in a sharp police uniform, shoulder patches crisp, his whole vibe screaming righteous authority.
Each had their own vibe, but both were total powerhouses. Their presence alone made the whole room tense up.
Four uniformed cops marched in right behind them, every step perfectly in sync.
Quentin coolly slid his VIP card back into his pocket, looking smooth as ever.
The whole squad strode right up to Nina, lining up behind her like an unbreakable shield. Instantly, the Summer Group’s aura got shut down. They didn’t stand a chance.
Simon unfolded the arrest warrant, his gaze sharp and commanding. “Charles, you are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder and hiring arsonists. This is official.”
Nina, with Charles frozen in shock, cuffed both his wrists and guided him straight to the officers.
