Chapter 548 I'm going to call the police and report Xavier
This was originally at a construction site, with obstacles everywhere.
Xavier had no defense and was knocked to the ground just like that.
The person who came seemed extremely angry. He grabbed Xavier by the collar and said, "What the hell are you doing? The trial is about to start, and Taylor's death sentence is certain. Did you release her at this critical moment?"
The person was furious, clearly very agitated.
And that punch just now had split Xavier's lip, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Xavier, is this how you handle things? I thought you would take care of it and not show mercy to Taylor. How can you face Grace like this? If you can't do it, then get away from her!"
"Sterling, let go." Xavier was injured but did not fight back.
He knew that Sterling was so angry because of Grace.
The others were still watching the situation, but when they heard Xavier call the man's name.
Sterling? Then it's fine.
No wonder, who else would dare to lay a hand on Xavier? Probably only Sterling could do that.
"Let go? I want to kill you!" Sterling said, raising his fist to hit Xavier again.
Just because Xavier didn't fight back earlier didn't mean he wouldn't now. He raised his hand and blocked Sterling's punch.
Sterling was furious, and the two of them started fighting as if no one else was around.
The others didn't know whether to call the police. It wouldn't be good if either of them got hurt, and if something really happened, would they get into trouble for not intervening?
After weighing the situation, they decided to call the police.
So Xavier and Sterling, who had been to the police station countless times and were usually treated with respect, were now there for the first time as detainees.
"What's your name, and why are you fighting?" the police officer asked routinely.
Sterling was very upset. He was already unhappy about Taylor, and now he didn't even win the fight with Xavier.
Except for the first time when Xavier didn't fight back, Sterling didn't gain any advantage afterward, making him very angry.
"Get your chief to talk to me," Sterling said impatiently.
"Who are you to ask for our chief?" The officer didn't recognize Sterling.
Sterling directly stated his name, "Call and tell them Sterling Wallace is here."
The officer was intimidated by Sterling's demeanor. He was so fiery, unlike the calm man next to him.
Looking at Xavier, who was sitting there with his arms crossed like a king, despite his injuries, he exuded an aura of superiority that couldn't be ignored.
The officer quickly made a call, and upon hearing the names Sterling and Xavier, the chief rushed over.
"Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Wallace, what brings you here? Is there anything I can do for you?"
He was just a chief in a certain area of Skigeth. How could he afford to offend Xavier and Sterling?
"I want to file a report," Sterling said.
The chief wiped his sweat, "What happened, Mr. Wallace? What do you want to report?"
Sterling looked disdainfully at Xavier, "He assisted a murderer in escaping, with solid evidence."
The chief was silent.
Maybe he should just lock him up. He didn't want to be the chief anymore.
The chief looked at Xavier and said, "There must be some misunderstanding, right?"
However, Xavier said, "No misunderstanding. What he said is true. I can cooperate with the investigation."
The chief was silent.
Crazy, the world has turned upside down.
When Grace received the call from the police, she thought she had misheard.
"What? Who did you say got arrested?"
When the officer repeated the names Xavier and Sterling, Grace said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
She didn't know how Xavier and Sterling ended up at the police station, and she had to bail them out.
When Grace arrived at the police station, she saw Xavier and Sterling still arguing.
Mainly, Sterling was angrily accusing, while Xavier, a man of few words, remained cold and indifferent.
"I just don't get it. What did Taylor offer you that you released her at such a critical moment?"
"Are you out of your mind? Should I slap you to wake you up? Do you know how hard I worked to get her to confess to murder? And you just let her go when the conviction was about to be secured?"
"How can you face Grace? Do you dare to tell Grace about this? Aren't you afraid of breaking her heart?"
Sterling was furious. If it were him, he would have dealt with Taylor long ago, not dragging it out until now.
Xavier knew it was his fault, so he didn't argue back.
"I know about this. I approved it," Grace said as she walked in.
She couldn't believe that in such a short time, Xavier and Sterling had gotten into such a mess.
Grace saw Xavier's face, "Why did you get into a fight?"
"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt," Xavier said calmly.
Seeing Grace, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Grace gently pressed Xavier's wound, warning him, "I don't care if it hurts or not. You got into a fight and ended up in the police station. Mr. Montgomery, you really have some nerve!"
Sterling, standing nearby, was very displeased, "Why do you only care about him and not me? I'm standing right here, and my injuries are no less than his."
Sterling had also been hit by Xavier. They were evenly matched, just hurting each other.
Grace finally noticed Sterling and scolded both of them, "Mr. Wallace, you're not young anymore. How can you still act like a child and get into a fight, ending up in the police station?"
If this got out, Xavier and Sterling would definitely lose face.
Sterling said, "How could I have known someone would call the police? It had nothing to do with them, yet they meddled."
"Fighting is wrong in the first place. Calling the police was the right thing to do. Do I need to teach you that, two grown men acting like children?"
Sterling was silent.
Xavier was silent.
"Do you know you were wrong?" Grace asked Xavier, poking his face.
But Grace didn't dare touch Xavier's wound, only the uninjured parts. Seeing the bruise and blood at the corner of Xavier's mouth, Grace felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Xavier's handsome face was beaten like this, but he was still so handsome!
"I know, I was wrong."
"Where were you wrong?" Grace asked.
Xavier looked at Sterling, "I was wrong for not injuring his mouth too."
Xavier knew exactly where he was wrong. He planned to explain the matter with Taylor to Grace later.
Sterling was stunned, "What?"
Grace was silent.
