“Thanks for the trouble, Chief Sheridan.” Nicholas smiled.
Thomas waved, and someone pulled Joe up from the floor right away.
Joe shouted as he struggled, “You… You’re on his side! Don’t you know that Nicholas Thompson’s a gangster!?”
“Mr. Tanner!” Thomas snorted, “Mr. Thompson’s the CEO of Sol Entertainment. He’s contributed significantly to the
development of film and TV culture, and he will participate in the top ten outstanding youths of Centrolis next year!
Do you mean that our mayor can’t distinguish right and wrong?”
Joe widened his eyes speechlessly.
“I have to thank Mr. Thompson for being here in advance, so you didn’t get away!”
“B-But don’t you see his underlings? Those guns…”
“I was going to turn in these guns!” Nicholas smiled.
“Chief Sheridan, I have a friend who works specifically with the police at the border to crush various firearm
smuggling activities. These guns are what he’s collected, and I’m passing them to you now. It’s my duty as a

Joe was thoroughly dumbstruck.
Thomas chortled. “Mr. Tanner, did Mr. Thompson ask anyone to shoot just now?”
“N-No.”
“Then did Mr. Thompson cause you any tangible physical harm?”
“Well…”
“Someone righteous like Mr. Thompson should be the role model of all Centrolis citizens!”
“You flatter me, Chief Sheridan.” Nicholas played along. “Since I came to Centrolis, I’ve made up my mind to be a
lawful citizen!”
“That’s great.” Thomas nodded. “I’d like everyone to follow me back for your statements to be taken. Thank you for
your cooperation!”
…
Taking the statements was just standard procedure. After all, no one dared speak unnecessarily, given Nicholas’
intimidation.
The Tanner Group ultimately returned to Mandy and would be under her management before Kelly got better.
Linda was slowly improving as well. She was a cheerful and optimistic person to start with. It was just that the blow
to her was too much this time, and she was still a lot quieter compared to the past, even though she managed to
push through this.
Cordelia gradually grew closer to Kelly.
One day, she was taking a walk, wheeling Kelly outside. It felt comfortable with the sun shining on them warmly.
Josiah was occupied and would be late, so he had asked Cordelia to keep Kelly company for a bit longer. Cordelia
smiled while reading the text and kept her phone back in her pocket.
Kelly’s voice was light. “Cordelia, it must be boring accompanying me. Go ahead if you have something to do. Don’t
mind me, really! I can manage on my own.”
“I don’t have much to do.” Cordelia tucked the blanket on her legs. “The artists in the company are behaving now,
and the joint hospital is being built. I just have to check the construction progress according to schedule.”

have Mr. Zephyr by your side devotedly…”
“You have someone by your side devotedly too!” When Cordelia grinned, she looked really pretty with her big eyes
that looked like they had countless stars in them.
“I heard Uncle Irwin say that Josiah would accompany you every day when everyone thought you had lost your
memory!”
Kelly blushed with a slight sparkle in her eyes.
“Actually, I’m envious of you!” Cordelia said softly, “You’ve met so many challenges, yet you’re still so courageous.
It’s really impressive… When you stepped out to expose Nelly, you’re like a heroine to me!”
Cordelia held her hand gently. “Kelly, how did you manage to endure it for so many years? If it were me, I don’t
think I’d be able to hold out for so long!”
Kelly smiled shyly. “You’re making me sound too noble! In truth, I kept those evidence, but I had never considered
exposing her in public one day…”
Cordelia was surprised.
