“Mr. Martinez, please follow US to the police station again to assist in the investigation.”
The man cowered as he glanced at Fabian’s tall and lean figure. Suddenly, he wanted to back out of this.
“W-Why don’t we just forget this?” The man wanted to give up on pursuing the matter. He felt that he had provoked someone he should not have.
Fabian and the police stopped at the same time.
“Mr. Martinez, what do you mean by that?” a policeman asked.
The man touched his red and swollen cheeks in pain, then glanced at Fabian cowardly. “I don’t want to sue him anymore. I’ll just treat what happened today as bad luck. I’m still rushing to go to work, so that’s all for today.”
When he said that, the man turned around and wanted to flee.
“Wait, Mr. Martinez.” A policeman stopped the man and told him with a stern look, “Mr. Martinez, you made a report to the police just now and we’ve already lodged it. If you just leave and decide to forget about it now, then you’ll be hindering the police from doing our jobs. You’ll be suspected of lodging a false report as well. If that’s the case, the police can counter-charge you. Are you sure you want to do this?”
After hearing that, the man was scared again.
“W-Well then, I’ll go to the police station with you.”
Hearing this, Fabian glanced at the uncertain man. A meaningful chuckle escaped his lips.
When the man saw the smile on Fabian’s face, he felt a little nervous.
After arriving at the police station, Fabian was taken to the interrogation room alone for questioning while the man waited in the lobby outside.
While waiting, he saw a policeman come out of the interrogation room. He was talking to other colleagues.
“Fabian has a lot of history. His brother is Yorick Johnson, the one who used to work for both the dark and lawful sides.”
“It turns out the person who was brought into the interrogation room just now is Yorick’s younger brother.”
When the man heard this conversation, he felt even more nervous. 1
Yorick, who had connections in both the lawful and dark sides was a ruthless character in F Country at that time. As Yorick’s younger brother, Fabian should also have a lot of means up his sleeves.
The man was really panicking now. He felt as if he had dug a grave for himself.
He quickly got up and rushed in front of the two officers.
“Officers, can I take back my report? I don’t want to sue Fabian anymore! I fell by myself. It has nothing to do with him.”
The police immediately knew what he was afraid of. “Mr. Martinez, you don’t have to be so nervous. The police will take action according to the evidence. If Fabian really hit you, then we’ll punish him according to the law. It doesn’t matter who his siblings are. The law will still protect your lawful rights. Plus, you don’t have to worry too much. That Yorick person was executed a long time ago.”
“Yes, he’s dead, b-but this person is Yorick’s brother and I’ve offended him this time. I won’t be able to have a day of peace anymore. My son won’t be able to study in peace in the kindergarten either!”
The police frowned suspiciously. “Did Fabian hit your son?”
“I-It’s even more serious than hitting my son,” the man said without exaggeration.
The two police officers looked at each other and felt that it was necessary to pay attention to this matter.
After a while, the police officer who interrogated Fabian came out of the interrogation room with a solemn expression.
The man named Mr. Martinez rushed over at once to ask about the situation.
“Officer, how did it go? Are you going to arrest Fabian and lock him up?”
The police officer looked at the man with a serious look in his eyes. “Fabian readily admitted from the beginning that he hit you, and he didn’t try to explain it, but…”
The man’s heart twitched. “But what?”
“Mr. Martinez, Fabian is going to sue you and your son now.”
“…What? He wants to counter-sue me and my son?”
“That’s right.” The policeman nodded affirmatively. “And he also summoned his lawyer who’ll be arriving soon.”

“Mr. Martinez, did your son bully a little girl named Lillian whitman? And did you verbally attack the little girl named Lillian?”
“Um, I…” the man stammered, his eyes darting around. “No! How could I, an adult, attack a child? It didn’t happen. That person is just speaking nonsense. His family members are not good people in the first place, so he’s definitely not a good person either, officer, please don’t be deceived by Johnson. I didn’t bully a little girl…”
As soon as the man finished speaking, a cry sounded from the entrance of the police station.
“Officer!” Julie went straight to the police officer who was handling the case. After introducing herself, she directly handed over the USB flash drive in her hand to him. “ Officer, I think this will help you handle Mr. Johnson’s case.”
The policeman took the USB flash drive provided by Julie and asked his other colleagues to plug it in.
When Martinez saw this scene, he started sweating. He could probably guess what was in the USB flash drive.
Sure enough, as he expected, the content on the drive was the surveillance footage at the time of the conflict.
The details of the matter were all consistent with what Fabian said. On the contrary, Martinez was full of lies. The only thing he did not lie about was that Fabian really did hit him.
Judging from the dialogue and actions displayed on the surveillance footage, this man was very hateful. Even so, Fabian did hit him, so they would still need to follow the legal proceedings for this matter.
It did not take long for Fabian’s lawyer to arrive.
After learning about all the circumstances, the lawyer did not waste his breath and asked Martinez a question.
He asked whether he wanted to turn this into something huge or whether he wanted to resolve this.
After Martinez knew about Fabian’s background, he had wanted to give up. Now that someone was giving him a way out, of course, he chose to resolve this.
It was fine if he got into trouble, but he did not want to ruin his son’s future.
After Fabian came out of the interrogation room, to his surprise, he saw Julie.
He finally knew why this was solved so smoothly after he heard from his lawyer. It was all thanks to the surveillance footage Julie provided.
Out of politeness and gratitude, Fabian politely extended an invitation to her. “Miss Charles, if you’re free tonight, I’d like to invite you to my house for a light meal. In addition to this, I also want to thank you for taking care of Lily on normal days. What do you think?”
When Julie heard what Fabian said, she was surprised but did not show it. On the surface, she maintained her gentle and reserved demeanor. “I’m free tonight, but would that be too much trouble?”
“No. As long as you feel okay with it, it’s fine.”
“Alright then.” Julie nodded and agreed. Deep down, she was already planning what gifts she would bring to Fabian’s house.
Then, it was evening and kindergarten was over.
Fabian arrived at the kindergarten’s entrance right on time. Julie took Lillian by her hand and brought her to Fabian.
“Mr. Johnson, I have other business to attend to. Here, you can take Lily back first.”
“Okay, go ahead,” Fabian did not say much. He just turned around and walked away with Lillian in his hand.
Julie was at a loss as she looked at Fabian’s back, but the work in front of her was fighting for her attention.
She sent the children back to their parents in an orderly manner before she returned to the office to deal with other matters.
By the time she was almost done with work, the sky had already darkened a little.
When she picked up her phone and looked at it, she saw that Fabian had not sent her any messages. She was starting to feel depressed when her phone vibrated.
Julie thought it was Fabian calling to ask if she was coming over, but it was just a call from home.
Julie picked up her bag and then took her time to answer her phone. “Mom, I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Don’t wait up for me.”
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and walked toward the entrance of the kindergarten.
The sky was getting darker, but the thought of going to Fabian’s house for dinner afterward brought a smile back to Julie’s face.
She walked happily to the entrance and was about to hail a cab when a black car drove up and stopped in front of her.
Julie’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked closer. Her pupils reflected Fabian’s handsome and gentle face.
“Get in, Miss Charles”
“Mr. Johnson?”
Julie was really surprised, she would never have guessed that Fabian would be waiting for her at the kindergarten entrance after work. She felt her heartbeat getting faster as an indescribable joy overcame her.
Julie did not reject his offer and quickly got into the car before turning around to greet Lillian, who was sitting in the backseat.
Lillian looked at Julie and smiled sweetly. She seemed like she was in a good mood, and her cute dimples by the corners of her mouth appeared.
Fabian then started the car. Julie sat quietly, maintaining her ladylike impression.
