Chapter: 190
The force of his slap was so strong that Mr. Gardner was thrown a few feet away, stars circling above his head.
“What?”
Everyone was dumbstruck at the sudden bombshell.
Who would have expected Mr. Granville to reprimand Mr. Gardner instead of backing him up?
What’s going on?
Natasha’s jaw dropped. Dahlia was equally as shocked.
Draco and his men couldn’t believe their eyes. They were all stunned at the astonishing turn of events.
“Father? Why did you hit me?” Mr. Gardner asked, bewildered, as he rubbed his burning cheek.
He had never seen his father–in–law so furious.
Mr. Gardner was confused as to what he had done wrong.
“Bastard! You lock up the innocent and let the guilty walk free. How dare you try to defend yourself? I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Mr. Granville declared righteously.
“Father, what’s wrong with you? I’m your son–in–law, aren’t I?” Mr. Gardner was close to tears.
Wasn’t Mr. Granville here to save him? Why was he getting beaten up instead?
“Don’t call me your father–in–law! I don’t have a despicable son–in–law like you!” Mr. Granville scoffed and continued, “You accepted bribes and corrupted the law. In addition, you took liberties with your authority as a police inspector. As of now, you are fired from your position!”
“What?”
When Mr. Granville announced this, Mr. Gardner shuddered in fear. His body was drenched in a cold sweat.
Although he didn’t know what caused the rift, Mr. Gardner knew that his father–in–law had decided to cut all ties with him.
Furthermore, Mr. Granville was going to investigate and expose his past deeds!
They had a good relationship before this. What could have happened for Mr. Granville to change so abruptly?
Without any hesitation, Mr. Granville gave his last orders to the men standing behind him, “Come and arrest Mr. Gardner immediately! Once the investigation into his crimes is complete, throw him in jail!”
Mr. Gardner fell on his knees in dismay, his face ashen with despair.
The only reason his father–in–law would be so harsh on him must be due to pressure from a superior who had intervened.
That was why Mr. Granville had no choice but to toe the line as well
How could this happen?
He had only detained Dustin, a punk with no background. How could this disaster have befallen him?
