Chapter 1127
After ten minutes of driving, Cooper arrived at the police station.
As there had been a major change in the police force throughout the past few months, Cooper didn't recognize any
of the higher- ups there. He then approached one of the police officers and said he came to bail Sally out.
The police officer eyed him from head to toe as he replied, “Sally Loake is suspected of dealing drugs. It's a serious
crime, so you can't just drop by and bail her out.”
“I spoke to the people at the bar before coming over. There were quite a lot of people entering and leaving the
locker room at the time, and those lockers can be easily pried open. Besides, you guys didn't find her fingerprints
on the bag, so you don't even have sufficient evidence to pin this on her,” Cooper said calmly.
The police officer's expression turned gloomy. “Are you saying we're trying to frame her?”
“I'm just saying you can't keep her detained without sufficient evidence. It'd be bad for your reputation if word got

One of the police officers passing by recognized Cooper and whispered something in the police officer's ear.
As they didn't have sufficient evidence, it would indeed affect their reputation if the media wrote about it. “Only
family members are allowed to bail her out.”
Cooper took his gloves off and said with a faint smile, “I am her family member.”
“How are you going to prove that?”
“We were actually going to get married, but her family ran into some problems a while back, so we had to delay the
registration. I could bring her to City Hall right now and get our marriage certificates done.”
The police officer hesitated for a bit before having his colleague bring Sally over.
She had maintained a poker face the whole time she was detained at the police station, but there was a glint of
surprise in her eyes when she saw Cooper.
Cooper walked up to her and wrapped his scarf around her neck as he said, “I've brought the documents with me.
All that's left for us to do is drop by City Hall.”
Sally nodded, and the two followed the police officer out of the police station.
As it was Christmas, most of the businesses in Jadeborough were closed for the day.
Cooper was expecting a huge crowd at City Hall as he imagined most people would love to get married on
Christmas. To his surprise, however, the place was almost empty.
The entire process of submitting the documents, filling up the forms, taking photos, and collecting the marriage
certificates took less than five minutes.
“Here, take a look. We just got them just now,” Cooper said while handing the marriage certificate over to the
police officer for inspection.
The police officer then had Cooper sign the bail documents before removing Sally's handcuffs.
Cooper handed Sally her household registry, ID card, and marriage certificate before leaving City Hall with her.
“Have you ever thought you'd one day be arrested and detained by the police? You know, since you're General

“No. I didn't think I'd get married either,” Sally replied calmly.
“Those people were clearly after you. Given the current state of the Loake family, no family member would dare
bail you out,” Cooper said as he made his way over to the passenger side and entered the car.
He then waited until Sally got in before continuing, “Take us to Swallow Garden. By the way, do you want a ring?”
“No, thanks. I don't like having accessories on my hands. Besides, you've spent quite a lot of money on that ring you
bought Tiffany,” Sally replied while keeping her icy-cold gaze on the road ahead.
Cooper shot her a curious glance. “How did you know about that?”
“Bertilla told me you were bringing Ms. Yerton to pick out a wedding ring at a jewelry store. Also, I saw the receipt
inside your wallet when you retrieved your ID card earlier,” Sally explained.
“You really have a keen eye for detail.” Cooper opened the glove compartment and casually chucked the marriage
certificates inside.
He then took off his glasses and wiped the fog off the lenses as he asked with a smile, “Since you're so smart, how
about you guess why I bailed you out?”
