How could Nathan point a finger at Ellsworths high-profile visitor, the noble Danilo from Zephyria?
The officer refrained from speaking or inquiring, opting instead to write down notes in silence.
Ellsworth remained stoic, giving nothing away. It appeared he wasnt surprised, recalling Lucindas earlier questions about Danilo.
The officer continued, With Mr. Brewer as a prime suspect, Ill dig deep. But I need to understand, why do you believe hes involved?
Nathans response was icy. Hes no friend of mine. We crossed paths while shopping, encountering him and Nala. He questioned my wifes business deal with DoWeier Group, wanting to snatch the rights for himself. He faced rejection from me and became the target of my ridicule. Thus, he resorted to desperate measures, attempting to harm both my wife and me.
The officer noted down Nathans every word meticulously. All right, Ill inform the station director of your concerns and initiate an investigation, he responded.
Ellsworth had been listening in silence.
It wasnt until the officer departed that Ellsworth commented, Im familiar with Danilos character. He doesnt appear to have committed such a grave offense over a minor disagreement. Could there be some confusion?
Nathans demeanor remained frosty. He might not act directly. But its possible he was persuaded by someone else. Given his attachment to his new girlfriend, being manipulated is plausible. But these are my hunches. Without hard evidence, we cant conclude.
Ellsworth nodded approvingly at Nathans final statement and suggested, Both you and Miss Simmons should consider staying here for a few days. Well discuss things further once we get to the bottom of this, just in case the individual responsible decides to strike again. Additionally, Ill increase the number of personnel secretly guarding your hotel.
Agreed, Nathan replied.
He had no grounds to decline. At this point, he and Lucinda couldnt depart.

.
Nonetheless, Lucinda needed to return home promptly and have Aldric examine her.
With this in mind, Nathan said, We must resolve this promptly.

Ellsworth reassured him, saying, No need to fret. Ill be fully dedicated to this case in the days ahead. Additionally, Ill closely monitor the police station to ensure we obtain the results as swiftly as possible.
Nathan gently lifted Lucinda, still asleep, intending to escort her back to their hotel to rest.
As Nathan prepared to depart, something crossed his mind. He cautioned Ellsworth, saying, Please, dont disclose to anyone that Lucinda and I were assaulted. And refrain from making any international news announcements. It could lead to complications in the foreign relations between our countries. You understand the consequences.
Absolutely. Ill ensure the news is kept under wraps, even if you didnt mention it, Ellsworth replied.
With no further discussion, Nathan exited the police headquarters with Lucinda, not glancing back.
To ensure Nathan and Lucinda would not face any further threats on their way back, Ellsworth dispatched police vehicles armed with personnel to escort them back.
They were joined by a handful of police security guards, forming a formidable escort party.
After all, very few individuals were brave enough to target a police vehicle.
Upon Nathan and Lucindas secure arrival at the presidential suite in the hotel, the police officers efficiently assisted Nathan in bringing their luggage inside.
Once Nathan had entered the room, the police team remained stationed outside.
