The First Heir

Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything against the law. Just let him stay inside for a few more days. He has violated the law after all. We are merely enforcing the law strictly and fairly, don’t you think so, Captain Fuller?”

Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success.

Next to his wife, Brian Fuller was a loser.

That was his weakness.

Brian considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Okay.”

Ten minutes later, Brian finished sorting out the documents. He headed to the director’s office, knocked on the door, and entered the room after getting a response.

At the time, Deaton Wade, Director of the Riverdale Law Enforcement Bureau, was busy handling official matters.

He was a good public servant of the people, working late hours into the night.

“Brian, why are you here so late?” Deaton greeted him in a friendly manner. Holding up his teacup, he blew on it gently before taking a sip.

Deaton had a good impression on Brian. He was a strict and meticulous person; a potential talent.

Brian walked in with the documents in his hand and said, “Director Wade, a few colleagues and I arrested a suspect who molested a woman tonight. We have completed the investigation and the report is ready. We await further instructions.”

Brian passed the documents to Deaton as he spoke.

Deaton was taken aback and his expression fell.

What was Brian doing, waiting for his instructions on such a trivial matter?
