Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 708

"Where's the guarantee card?" Bernard asked.

This guarantee card was essentially a ticket for the cardholder to avoid imprisonment. The Elders usually kept them for themselves or gave them to their closest ones. Bernard was curious to know who Rhett got his guarantee card from.

"Astral Nova has connections with the United Nations. Thus, their guarantee cards can be used anywhere around the world."

Joshua assumed that Bernard was unaware of the guarantee cards' existence. After all, they were rarely seen, so Joshua took the time to explain to Bernard.

"We need to quickly get him to talk now and reveal what actually happened. Once his lawyer brings the guarantee card to Astral Nova and gets it accepted, we can only release him without conducting any further investigation."

If that truly happened, it would be rather infuriating. They had gone through so much trouble to capture Rhett. If they didn't take the opportunity to make Rhett talk, it would be harder in the future.

"Chief Olson, Mr. Rhett's lawyer is here." At the same time, a staff member entered to inform Joshua.

Joshua frowned. He did not expect Rhett's lawyer to arrive so soon. He glanced at Bernard.

"Let's go in and have a look," Bernard said.

"Sure!" Joshua had only heard about Astral Nova's guarantee cards, but he had never seen them in person. He was also rather curious to know what these rarely-seen cards looked like.

The two of them headed for the interrogation room. Since Rhett had Astral Nova's guarantee card, the police did not handcuff him.

Realizing that someone had entered the room, Rhett leisurely put down the papers. "Is my lawyer here?"

While speaking, he looked up and saw Bernard. A glint of disdain flashed through Rhett's eyes as he asked sarcastically, "What brings you here, Bernard? As far as I know, not everyone can enter the Special Investigation Department."

"Indeed. Normal criminals aren't usually brought here for investigation," Bernard retorted coldly.

Rhett faltered in annoyance. Bernard was implying that Rhett wasn't just like any ordinary criminal.

Was Bernard here to watch him make a fool of himself? Did Bernard think that Rhett being out of the way meant that he had a chance to become the next CEO of Killian Corporation?
