Chapter 1085
Alec scrambled up from the floor and immediately walked over to Charlie, slapping himself on the face, his
expression full of guilt and shame. “Mr. James, I really didn’t know the truth of the matter. My wife just called me
saying our son was beaten up and asked me to rush home. If I knew my son pushed this little girl, I would have
disciplined him first!”
“When you were messing with Estelle, you didn’t seem to care about the truth!” Charlie’s face was expressionless,
but it made him look even more stern.
Alec slapped himself again, “I’m an asshole, calling people names without being clear on the facts. I’m sorry!”
Charlie turned his back, holding Kya, completely ignoring him.
Alec had to turn to Brody for help, “Brody, can you put in a good word for me? I’ve always done well in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompany. Can you talk to Mr. James for me?”
“Indeed, your business skills are strong, but your character has serious issues! You should watch the surveillance
video. Your behavior was too arrogant.” Brody scolded with a frown.
“I was wrong, and I’m really sorry. I was just anxious because I heard my son was beaten. I’m not usually like this.”
Alec pleaded repeatedly. “Brody, can you speak for me in front of Mr. James? Tell him how good my performance
usually is.”
Brody looked at him and helplessly shook his head.
Estelle had seen Alec’s arrogant and domineering manner before, and now seeing him so humble and submissive,
she found it quite amusing. It was because he met her and Charlie that he was acting so weakly. But what if he met
others? Would he continue to bully those who couldn’t threaten him?
According to the neighbors, their family had been bullying people not just once or twice.
Cam, who had been silent, asked Alec and his wife, “Since you know you’re wrong, are you still planning to sue Ms.
Macclain?”
“No, no!” Alec shook his head quickly, then yelled at his wife, “You quickly come to apologize to Ms. Macclain!”
Alexa seemed to understand the situation and knew her husband might lose his job, so she also lost her previous
momentum, awkwardly tidied her hair, and apologized to Estelle, “I’m sorry!”
Estelle said, “Actually, this is nothing big. Your son did something wrong. You just need to discipline him and the
problem can be solved. But you insisted on blowing it up!”
People like them always think they’re superior just because they’re rich, and that everyone should give way to
them.
Alexa’s eyes flickered, and she lowered her head to apologize again.
Alec, fuming at Estelle’s words, raised his hand to slap his wife again, but was stopped by Brody, “Enough. Don’t

Alec lowered his hand, embarrassedly silent.
Jonathan held Estelle’s hand and softly asked, “Is the matter resolved? Can we leave now?”
The vice director quickly said, “No problem, we appreciate Mr. Lamont’s help.”
Jonathan nodded, then led Estelle away.
Estelle quickly went to hold Kya, using the opportunity to free herself from Jonathan’s grip.
Charlie, however, was keen to create an opportunity for the two to bond, and gracefully laughed, “Kya is a bit
frightened. I’llhold her.”
Jonathan swiftly took Estelle’s hand again, “Let’s go. Kya is with Charlie, aren’t you reassured?”
Estelle tried to pull away but didn’t succeed. When Cam came over to say goodbye, she stopped-struggling.
They all left the police station together. As they were going down the stairs, Estelle’s phone rang. She glanced at it
and answered.
Emily sounded very anxious, “Estelle, I’m at the police station. Where are you?”
Estelle paused and looked up to see Emily in a pale blue dress, walking towards them.
