Chapter 689 Negotiation

Day Seventy-Four...

~~*****~~

Nathan cooperated with the police officers. He summoned his lawyer as they headed to the precincts. It looked like Monica was up to something.

Vincent and Monica grabbed the opportunity to detain Nathan today using the incident last night. Fortunately, they got a copy of a video wherein Nathan suddenly attacked Monica, strangling her.

The video was a clear indication of the assault wherein Monica was the victim while Nathan was the assailant.

They used it as an advantage to their side. Tonight would be the 50th celebration of SYP Twilight Corporation. Without Nathan's presence, Vincent planned to ruin the celebration.

Monica also thought of another strategy to negotiate with Nathan today.

Inside the detaining room, Nathan was talking to his attorney. He already used his power and influence to hide this from the media. He couldn't let this incident be an issue before the big event. His father put so much effort into this anniversary celebration.

Old Man Xu would also like to honor his deceased wife for tonight's event.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sparks. We can get you out here after paying the bail." The attorney reassured him. "However, this case will be challenging on our part if Miss Carlsen won't settle. Their sides have concrete proof of the assault."

Nathan clenched his teeth while rubbing his temples. His son disappeared and now, Monica filed a complaint against him.

"Just do what you can. I need to leave here. My son has gone missing. I must find him." Nathan didn't care about his case. He just wanted to find his son who ran away from home.

"Okay, Sir. Just leave this to me." The attorney just stood up when they heard the sound of the door opening.

A cold glint flashed through Nathan's eyes upon seeing Monica.

"Let's talk. I have a proposition with you?just in case you want to settle this." Monica smiled at him tauntingly.

Nathan just narrowed his eyes on her. Ignoring Nathan's cold behavior, Monica approached him, dragging a chair as she sat down in front of Nathan.

"Supreme Leader! We are still searching for our young master, Ethan. I just got an update. Maximilian Carlsen was rushed to the hospital yesterday after visiting Vincent and Monica. When it comes to Veronica's parcel, we are still tracking it." Chantha informed him.

"I understand. Keep tracking it. Just make sure to confiscate the shipment. We can't let the weapon go to our enemy's hand." Nathan had so many things to troubleshoot. He should protect the people he loves.

"Got it, Supreme Leader." Chantha heaved a deep sigh. Unable to control herself, she spoke again.

"Hmm, Supreme Leader, Are you okay? Axel texted me that you were in trouble. Is there anything you want me to do for you?" Chantha wanted to make sure that Nathan was doing fine. Axel couldn't concentrate on his task after hearing the news that Nathan had been arrested.

"Just focus on your task. Don't mind me." Nathan simply said.

Meanwhile, Jane finally arrived at Sparks Mansion. But to her dismay, Nathan was not around.

"Where is your master?" Jane asked Butler Li. She could sense that something was wrong. There was a gloomy atmosphere around the house.

"Our Master Nathan got arrested," Butler Li responded anxiously.

"WHAT?" Jane was shocked beyond belief when she heard that. "Who the hell arrested him?! And for what reason?" She raised her voice. She couldn't control her rage.

"F-For assaulting Miss Helena Carlsen..." Butler Li's voice trembled in fear. He could feel the chilly aura emanating from Jane. 'This woman is quite scary when angry,' Butler Li thought to himself.

Slam!

Thud!

Butler Li jolted in fright when Jane punched the table in front of them.

"Fuck! I'm gonna kill that woman! She is courting death. How dare she!" Jane's fury was reflected in her fiery eyes and clenched fists.

"What precinct?" Jane asked him again.

"The City," Butler Li responded, biting his lower lip.

Jane didn't waste any more time as she dashed out of the mansion. She needed to see Nathan as soon as possible. And at the same time, Jane was eager to punish Monica. She was creating more trouble for Nathan lately.
