NovelEnglishChapter 2135 The days passed by, seemingly peaceful, but there was a strong current underneath.
On the fourth day, a black vehicle stopped in front of the police station. Attorney Lyles stepped out, standing at the entrance with a gloomy face. He took a deep breath before walking inside.
In the visitor's room, a police officer stood guard at the door as Owen met with Attorney Lyles.

"Also, | came this time under Chairman Iverson's orders to pass a message to you." Attorney Lyles gradually leaned closer to him. "Chairman Iverson said that you might not have the chance to tum things around, given all the crimes you've committed. In that case, you should go peacefully.

Owen was left sitting there stiffly, his eyes reddening, the burning anger around him almost devouring him entirely, turning him into ashes.
Suddenly, there was a roaring sound in his ears, much like
the sound of a building collapsing in an instant. It was also the sound of his faith crumbling.
Attorney Lyles walked out of the police station with a gloomy expression. His phone rang just as he was about to get into his car.

opened.
Attorney Lyles did not see Justin's face, but he saw his long, crossed legs, spotless gray pants, and black leather shoes, which showed off his status and intimidating presence.
"Attorney Lyles, Mr. Salvador has always wanted to meet you. Please get in the car." lan smiled faintly and invited him politely.
Attorney Lyles' breath hitched, bile rising in his throat.
Since Lance passed away and he was forced to support Christopher, he had never received such courteous treatment.
