The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1387

“Well, even if the coffee at the police station tastes awful, at least it doesn’t harm me. But I dare not drink anything from the Iverson household. Who knows if it might cause severe stomach issues? Or worse, maybe I’ll get poisoned. It’s just not worth the risk,” Ralph replied with a cool smile, easily brushing off James’ taunts.

“Mr. Thompson! My son’s case has been closed. Your people released him! What brings you here again?!”

Fed up with arguing, Lance’s eyes were red with anger and embarrassment. He exclaimed, “You can’t just take Charles away without evidence. I won’t let you have it your way again. The Iverson family isn’t something the Thompsons can mold and manipulate at will! I’m only extending courtesy to you because of the long-standing relationship between our families and because you’re Wyatt Thompson’s son. Don’t take advantage of my generosity!”

The police officers thought, ‘Wyatt Thompson’s son?! Our Captain Thompson is the son of Hatchybay’s wealthiest man and Bella Thompson’s brother?!’

The jaw-dropping news nearly made the two officers’ jaws hit the floor.

Ralph had been with the police for many years, maintaining a low profile and focusing only on his work, never discussing his private life or family background.

Initially, when he became the head of the detective squad, there was criticism about his young age and supposed connections. But after he quickly solved several high-profile cases, earning accolades in only three years, all such gossip faded.

They suspected Ralph had significant backing, but they had no idea that it was to this extent!

Ralph knew that Lance brought up his father in front of his colleagues to pressure him, but he remained completely unfazed, even feeling a slight urge to laugh.

“The law does not wrongly convict the innocent, nor does it spare any brute.”

The Iversons’ expressions turned as dark as a pot scorched for over a decade.

“Ralph! You… Who are you calling a brute?!” Charles pointed at Ralph’s handsome face, his voice quivering with anger.

“Mr. Charles Thompson, you are currently under suspicion in connection with an attempted rape case. Please come with us to assist with the investigation,” Ralph stated firmly, cutting to the chase. His gaze was as cold as ice, piercing Charles’ pallid face.
