Chapter 187 Hidden Warmth Beneath Cold Looks

Seeing this scene, the police chief hurried forward to greet Victor.

“Mr. Rhodes, what brings you here today?”

“I’ve come to take my son home.”

Victor was well over sixty years old, his face set in a stern, solemn expression.

The chief froze on the spot the moment he heard his words. He wondered if Victor’s son had gotten himself into trouble. Everyone

knew how formidable the Rhodes family was. Though Victor had many lovers over the years, Caleb was his only legitimate son born unexpectedly. If his people had detained Caleb, Victor would surely raise hell and cause huge trouble for the whole station.

“I’ll go check right away and find out who dared to offend Mr. Caleb Rhodes!”

Before the chief could step inside, Caleb was already being led out by the family bodyguards.

Victor’s expression grew even grimmer as he looked at his son, then uttered coldly, “Take him away.”

“Wait a minute!” Nina stepped forward at once.

“Mr. Rhodes, I was the one who ran into danger last night and called Caleb over. If anyone deserves punishment, it should be me?

“You are not part of the Rhodes family, so I have no reason to discipline you.” Victor let out a cold snort. “Still, as a young lady, you ought to know how to behave properly. Don’t try to cling to my son just because you cannot find a suitable match for yourself!

“Victor Rhodes! That’s enough! I won’t let you insult my friend like this!”

Caleb immediately stepped in front of Nina to shield her. Nina knew full well what kind of person Victor was. He demanded absolute obedience from every member of the family and would never tolerate anyone going against his will. Things were bound to turn ugly now.

Sure enough, danger flashed in Victor’s eyes.

“How dare you call me by my given name? It seems you haven’t learned your lesson from family discipline!”

He shot a look at the bodyguards, who were just about to lay hands on Caleb when Jensen walked out of the station and spoke casually.

“What an imposing gathering you have here, Mr. Rhodes. I almost thought we were filming a police action movie just now

Victor frowned and sized the man up and down carefully.

“Jensen Grey?”

He had long heard of Jensen’s fame. In just a few short years, Jensen had fully taken charge of the Grey Group and became undisputed top leader, holding extraordinary status and influence.

“Caleb is a close friend of mine. I was the one who asked him to come help out last night and I expect your family nules to strict. It was my oversight, and nothing like this will happen again.”

Hearing that it was Jensen who had invited Caleb out, Victor turned to look at his son by that the wall
