“What are you laughing at, you jerk?”

Ashton had become extremely sensitive to Emmanuel’s laughter. Whenever

she saw him smiling, she immediately felt like he was mocking her.

“Miss Ashton, are you being a bit too overbearing?”

Emmanuel chuckled. “Is it illegal to laugh secretly?”

“You-”

Ashton’s hatred for Emmanuel had reached the point where she yearned to

snap as soon as he uttered a word.

However, a mere glance from Sage made her obediently put her hands

down.

How frustrating it is to be unable to get back at someone I despised!

Emmanuel was determined not to stoop to her level and earnestly said, “Miss

Ashton, out of respect for Captain Payne, I will now share crucial information

regarding the three cases. Please listen attentively.”

As she caught his gaze, Ashton struggled to restrain her anger.

How does this jerk suddenly assume such an air of undeniable authority?

“Firstly, Magnus Zelinsky pushed Claudette Lenoir off the cliff. The person you

should be investigating is Magnus Zelinsky, not me. If not, you’ll never crack

the case. Secondly, the poisoning incident at the restaurant was aimed at

1. It was a bizarre and deadly combo. The poison was introduced into plain

water, with the source traced back to Jonathan Verkade. As for how to

proceed with the investigation, that’s up to you! Thirdly, today’s Ferris wheel

incident was no accident. Hubert Verkade even took shots at me. It was a

premeditated murder. Of course, whether you can nail such a big shot like

Hubert Verkade, that’s up to your capabilities!”

After Emmanuel finished speaking, he gestured to Sage as he was about to leave the amusement park.

“That infuriating guy, who does he think he is? Sooner or later, I’ll bring him to

justice!” Ashton muttered angrily, but Sage overheard her.

Sensing Sage’s frigid gaze, Ashton felt a shiver run down her spine as if she

had fallen into an ice cellar!

Why does Captain Payne stand up for that guy Emmanuel so much?

“Ashton, listen up. These three cases are now entirely under your

responsibility. If you can’t solve them within three months, you’ll hand over

your badge and gun! Got it?”

“Ah, Captain-”

Ashton was secretly shocked. However, when she met Sage’s resolute gaze,

she could only bite her lip lightly and salute, “Yes, I pledge to complete the

mission!”

Then, Sage also departed.

Left alone, Ashton let out a long sigh.

Before she could relax, her private phone rang again.

“Hello, Dad!”

Ashton answered the call, and her tone differed slightly from her usual

tough-girl image as she showed her girlish side.

“Ash, is your work progressing smoothly? You promised me you’d get

promoted to Inspector Grade 2 this year!”

“Dad, I’ll definitely succeed!”

Laughter echoed through the line. “I’m not hoping for your success. I just want

to let you know that your brother has decided to lay low. He insists on having

you come back and inherit the Summerton family business. Remember what

you said: if you can’t get promoted this year, then you’ll obediently return

home and take over the family business!”

“No! I don’t want to!”

Ashton reacted with agitation.

The Summertons, a prominent business family in Yeringham, were known for

their commercial prowess. However, the younger generation of this family

stood out for their strong ideals and personalities.

Among them was Lexi Summerton, Ashton’s cousin, an undeniably hacking

genius. Rather than assuming the mantle of CEO in her family’s company,

Lexi chose to be an executive assistant in Yeringham.

Her brother, Tyler Summerton, was even more idealistic. He chose to be a

photographer, traveling around taking pictures, displaying no interest in the

business world.

Then there was Ashton, driven by an unyielding passion for justice and a

resolute determination to fight evil with her abilities, aiming to bring

righteousness to the world.

While her cousin and brother’s aspirations seemed more straightforward to

attain, Ashton’s dreams soared to lofty heights.

What should she do now?

She would be in big trouble if she couldn’t solve these three cases within

three months. How could she even think about a promotion?

Ashton was nearly driven to frustration. Am I destined to suffer the tragic fate

of going back home to inherit a multi-million family business?
