"Hah! I'm a detective. You harm a detective in the line of duty, and you answer for it. It doesn't matter how wealthy you are, you will pay the price!" Jacqueline snickered.
Jett watched her expression intently.
Clinging to life and trying to manipulate her way out of the mess she was in without being desperate… she was indeed a seasoned detective.
Jett's lips curled into a wicked smile, "I fear you've got this all wrong, Detective. You see, you and your partner were missing until a day ago."
"Now, he has said nothing about what happened. It's obvious he doesn't want to get into trouble since he knows there are powerful people behind you. So he's willing to keep quiet, even though it almost cost him his life."
Jacqueline raised her chin proudly.
"Do you not see it, then? Even he knows better than to act out. If you harm me, not only will you have the police at your back, you'll also become a target of this powerful person you don't even know."
