CHAPTER 703: CHAPTER 703: URBAN MIX-UP

Support?

Place to hide?

No doubt they are human traffickers!

The two people in front of the car were focused on the road ahead, so they didn’t notice what the couple in the backseat was doing.

After the highway, they entered South Mountain District.

As they prepared to pay the toll, a dozen police officers emerged from both sides of the street.

Nora Northwood was still puzzled, "Where did all these police come from?"

Behind them came the sound of a car door opening, the couple almost fled the car at lightning speed.

Only Jasper Sinclair and Nora Northwood were left, staring at each other.

Police surrounded the car, ordering the "criminals" inside to put down their weapons and get out of the car quickly.

It was only at this moment that Nora Northwood thought the police had caught the wrong person and had no idea the true culprit was the man beside her!

...

Inside the police car.

Nora Northwood and Jasper Sinclair both wore handcuffs; never in their decades of life had they been this embarrassed.

The man explained the situation to the police, who were skeptical and said they needed to return to the station for investigation.

His explanations failing, he revealed his identity, "I’m the chairman of The Sinclair Group."

These young officers thought he was bluffing and sarcastically replied, "I might be the chairman’s big brother! Such a big man needs no shame to lie without even drafting a script!"

Nora Northwood stifled a laugh, almost straining herself inside.

It was clear that Jasper Sinclair’s temper was on the verge of exploding.

She spoke up to ease the tension, telling the officers, "We’re willing to cooperate with the police investigation, and trust that you won’t wrongly accuse good people."

Blame it on Jasper Sinclair’s dislike of public appearances; barely any photos of his face were found online.

Even if these officers wanted to verify, they had nowhere to start.

Thus, they all arrived at the nearest police station before the rain stopped.

Halfway through the statement, the deputy director of the public security bureau hurried over.

Officers at the station gossiped, wondering what had alarmed the deputy director?

It wasn’t until they saw the deputy director nodding and bowing to a man that they understood.

The person caught was indeed the chairman!

"May we leave now?" Jasper Sinclair’s tone was chilly, almost expressionless.

The deputy director discreetly wiped his sweat and stated the driver would escort them home.

Thus, the mix-up was finally resolved.

Nora Northwood approached the couple who reported them, who were embarrassed to make eye contact, but she spoke gently.

"My husband was in a hurry up on the mountain and offended you; I apologize on his behalf."

The young woman quickly waved her hand at Nora Northwood, "It was my misunderstanding, we should be the ones apologizing."

"It’s right to be cautious when away from home; I work at VK. Tomorrow, you can come find me there, tell the front desk Nora Northwood gave you a ride, and I’ll offer you a reward."

Upon hearing Nora Northwood’s name, the girl’s expression changed, and she asked excitedly, "Are you Master Northwood?"

"Yes."

In the previous second, the girl who dared not look up was suddenly a different person.

The girl spoke incoherently, "I, I love your work... My dream is to become a perfumer; you, you are an idol to many at our academy!"

This revelation was unexpected.

Nora Northwood never thought she’d be idolized one day.

To thank the couple, she offered the girl a chance to attend VK’s interview, willing to provide her with a job.

As for whether she can join VK, it all depends on her own fate.
