"I am a public servant and I'm paid by the country and its citizens. I will never violate the law."
Jackson's face was solemn as he spoke. It was as if he were severing all ties with Alexander.
Sensing the tension, Elise quickly chimed in, "It's Cittadel's blessing to have such a righteous policeman
as you, Captain Gleeman."
"I'm honored. Thank you, Mrs. Griffith," Jackson replied modestly, a smile on his face.
Alexander's expression remained unchanged. With a vague smile, he said, "That's why I wouldn't waste
my time on something I know is impossible. Captain Gleeman, all you have to do is take the credit while
Smith Co. deals with the criminals. There's no conflict when we all do our jobs."
Indeed, Alexander had considered getting Jackson on his side. However, he knew that Jackson was an
obstinate man who was adamant about his own beliefs, so he abandoned such a thought.
"True." Jackson nodded. He then stood up and prepared to leave. "Please send some of your men to
help me escort Matthew to the local police station, just in case anything goes wrong."
"No problem. Raymond, send some men to go with Captain Gleeman," Alexander instructed as he stood
up.
"Yes, sir."
Raymond immediately went out to make arrangements for this.
Just as Jackson was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned around. Then, he said
to Alexander, "For the past hundred years, Cittadel has been treated lightly by the developing countries
and it has limited its development. It would be disastrous if Triune continued to corrupt our country's key
figures in science and technology. As such, the arrest must be carried out as soon as possible. Please
see to it, Mr. Griffith. I thank you on behalf of all of Cittadel."
He bowed to Alexander after his words, then turned around and walked to the door.
His back was ramrod straight, as admirable as his character was.
"Such a righteous person is truly a gem in this world," Elise said sentimentally.
To that, Alexander jokingly mentioned, "You find him admirable now, eh? Did you forget how he
previously treated you?"
The old Jackson was filled with animosity toward Elise and had never treated her nicely. He was always
keeping an eye on her, waiting for the right moment to arrest her.
Elise smiled when she remembered the past. "That's different. He treated me that way because he
mistook me for the person who caused Reuben's death, and all he wanted was justice for Reuben. He
may be too rigid and stubborn in his thinking and may have only looked at things superficially, but I have
never questioned his character. Furthermore, you —"
"Okay. That's enough," Alexander stopped her from saying any further. He then placed his arm around
her shoulders and helped her back into the house, saying, "Don't ever praise another man in front of me
again."
That amused Elise. "How could you be jealous of everyone?"
"Well, it's not the first day that you've known me," Alexander murmured as he shrugged.
"You're so proud of yourself, huh?" Elise raised her brows at him, perplexed by his focus.
"Of course. I'm the man who gets jealous the most in Cittadel," he announced without an ounce of
embarrassment.
Elise burst out laughing. "Where do you learn this from?"
"Do I even need to learn? I'm already humble enough by only saying Cittadel rather than the entire
world," Alexander replied confidently.
"Fine, fine. A round of applause for your humility, then," Elise scrunched up her nose and teased.
Alexander looked at her and smiled before changing the topic of the conversation. "The Cuber Family's
matter is almost settled. We should get ready to return to the country now. You better stay at home these
few days to pack our belongings."
"Okay."
After helping Elise inside, Alexander then left to deal with some serious matters.
Since they were returning to the country, Elise reasoned that they should bring some gifts for their
families and friends.
Narissa and Ariel were free as well. Hence, the three of them decided to go shopping.
In a branded store, Ariel spotted a bag that she liked. Just as she was about to take it for a closer look, a
hand appeared and took the bag away.
She turned around and the moment she saw Rylantha standing arrogantly nearby, her gaze flickered.
Rylantha slung the bag over her shoulder and started posing in front of the mirror as if she were a model.
"In ancient times, such a bright red item could only be used by someone from a legitimate family. Some
people are not deserving of this and if they use it, they are only embarrassing themselves," she
intentionally stated.
She was extremely disappointed by Camren's slap previously and blamed everything on Ariel.
However, Ariel had no intention of bearing the responsibility for the conflict between Camren and
Rylantha. Thus, she straightaway retorted, "So what if the person comes from a legitimate family? You
still found a man from a garbage dump!"
"What nonsense are you saying?" Rylantha began to lose her cool at that point. "Maverick is a mature
man who has achieved success at such a young age. He is far superior to your man who lives off you!
And please don't forget that you were also a woman that Maverick dumped!"
"Is that what he said? He told you he was the one who dumped me, huh?"
Ariel laughed and a tinge of disdain flashed across her eyes. "This is indeed his style, pushing every dirty
deed onto the others as if he were the innocent one. For Camren's sake, I'll be kind enough to remind
you of this—Maverick is not a decent guy. Don't invest too many feelings in him."
"What a joke! You're reminding me, you say? Do you really think you're my sister? You first caused
Camren to wrong me and now, you're pointing fingers at my man. Ariel Whitney, do you think you can
play around with the Abbott Family like this? I'm now going to make you regret what you did!"
Right after she finished her words, Rylantha raised her hand, ready to slap Ariel hard.
With Ariel's skills, Rylantha would be unable to hurt her at all. However, before Ariel could dodge the
attack, Rylantha's hand was grabbed in mid-air.
Rylantha's expression froze as she looked at Elise, who had stopped what she was about to do. "I know
you. You're Alexander's wife. I've got no fight with you, so why are you stopping me? Go away!"
"Mr. Abbott had previously slapped you because of Danny, but you were the one who had framed him
first. As such, both of you are even. I don't think you should hold grudges or even lay your hands on your
sister just because of that. Ariel is marrying Danny soon, which means she will be a member of my
family. Hence, it's perfectly justifiable for me to stand up for her," Elise argued reasonably.
However, Rylantha didn't want to back down. She struggled to move her hand for the slap but to no avail.
Hence, she exerted a stronger force to retract her hands.
When Elise noticed Rylantha's struggle, she abruptly released her grip, causing Rylantha to lose her
balance and stagger back a few steps until she had to hold on to the wall to stabilize herself.
After stabilizing herself, she was still so enraged that she took the bag she hadn't paid for and threw it at
Elise.
Realizing what had happened, Narissa dashed over and spun a roundhouse kick, drawing an arc in mid-
air before her leg landed on Rylantha's head, striking her hard.
"Ouch!"
Rylantha took a deep breath and rubbed the spot where she had been kicked. Her hair was a mess and
she appeared embarrassed.
"You asked for it!"
Narissa rubbed her palms together and stood next to Elise and Ariel, waiting for a good show to happen.
