Bang!
The cafe's door was smashed open.
The serious-looking men dressed in allblack with name tags then entered the shop, followed by the SWAT officers.
"Everyone, stop doing what you're doing now! Don't talk! Don't move! We're from the Secret Service, and we're here to arrest a suspect," A man in his forties ordered.
He was Desmond Walter, the person in charge of Channing's Secret Service.
When the law enforcement detected that someone was frequently trying to view Nathan's data without authority, they suspected it was a foreign spy. That was why they had quickly dispatched Desmond and the SWAT to arrest the suspect.
Everyone in the cafe, including Penny and Frida, were astounded.
The latter knew she was the one who had 'invited' the Secret Service personnel for doing exactly that deed.
On the other hand, Penny was bewildered because there weren't that many people in the cafe.
She glanced at the couple seated not far from them and then at Frida, who was seated nearby. Who are they going to arrest?
Nathan was also frowning slightly. He then noticed Frida's laptop screen and the big red warning on it, which made him freeze for a moment.
He soon realized that she was the one who had been trying to find out his true identity.
She must've tried it a few times if the Secret Service is already here.
He was both amused and angry.
"Suspect? I think you're mistaken. There are only a few people here," He blandly said to Desmond before he and the squad could arrest Frida.
Some of the temporary task force personnel formed by the SWAT and Secret Service were angered by what he said because they didn't know who Nathan was.
But when Desmond saw him, his expressions visibly changed. He instantly understood what the man meant.
