Juliet received a notification to return to
the station. The captain and the team had gone out on an emergency task, and
the suspect had dismissed their suspicions about Juliet and left. Juliet was
assigned to stay behind on duty.
It was just her and Deputy Captain Jack,
who was a month away from retirement. Jack, as usual, wore a cold expression,
as if the whole world owed him eight million dollars.
Juliet needed some information for a
report. After searching for a while and not finding it, she decided to ask
Jack.
“Deputy Captain Jack, could you please tell
me if this file is with you?”Juliet asked politely,
though she felt a bit awkward.
To be honest, no one in the entire station
liked dealing with him.
Jack swiveled his chair, showing her his
back, and replied dismissively, “Don’t know!”
Juliet was speechless.
If he didn’t have
it, he could just say so. What did he mean by “don’t know”?
Just as she was about to ask again, her
phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was an unknown number, Juliet assumed it
was a spam call and hung up without a second thought. She had a report to
finish and no time for chit-chat.
On the other end of the line, Bill was
stunned.
That woman hung up on him?
How dare she!
Did she not want a divorce anymore?
Already furious, Bill didn’t hesitate to call back.
Meanwhile, Juliet looked up after hanging
up the phone, only to find that Jack had already left. As she glanced around,
searching for Jack, her phone rang again.
“Who dares to make spam calls to a police
officer!”Juliet was annoyed as she looked at the
caller ID but answered this time.
As soon as she did, a deep, magnetic male
voice, tinged with anger, came through the line: “I’m your husband! Why did you hang up on me?”
Juliet was momentarily stunned, completely
forgetting that she had registered a marriage and had a husband now. She
immediately retorted, “I’m your
father!”
Bill was left speechless.
“You idiot!”
Click!
This time, it was Bill who hung up.
He couldn’t even
remember the name of that woman.
Bill, who had just been called “son”by Juliet, was furious. His face
darkened like a storm cloud as he threw his phone heavily onto the car seat.
The driver, bodyguards, and assistants all
remained silent, not even daring to exchange glances.
Rumor had it that Bill had married the
wrong person today when he went to register! And the person was a police
officer!
The woman he was originally supposed to
marry had been in a car accident and was still in the hospital. And now,
President Bill would have to wait a month before he could get a divorce!
But President Bill had only agreed to marry
once, and yet his mother insisted that he marry Miss Guo!
President Bill had already lost his temper
once this afternoon!
And now it seemed like he was angered again
by that woman!
Bill’s brow
furrowed deeply, his expression grave.
He should never have agreed to register
with Honey at his mother’s insistence! That would have
avoided all this trouble!
Just as Juliet was about to curse the
person who hung up on her, she suddenly remembered that she really had
registered the marriage!
It was just this evening! What was that man’s name again?
Juliet smacked her forehead and quickly
dialed back, intending to explain the situation. But when she tried to call,
she found that she had been blocked.
Juliet sighed. What a hot-tempered
guy.
She had no choice but to swallow her pride
and call back using a landline.
The phone rang for a long time before it
was finally answered. The familiar deep voice was even colder this time.
“Speak!” Bill’s tone was clearly suppressing his anger.
Juliet hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Bill! I really forgot that I
had registered the marriage! And since I’m in a special
department, marriage registrations usually require an application to be
approved. I don’t know why it went through directly
when we registered. Could there have been a procedural error? If so, can we
apply to have the marriage annulled?”
Juliet was telling the truth.
