My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

When Greta took away her dress and destroyed it, Greta didn't consider her feelings.

And now, she would not feel sympathy for Greta's poor mental state.

It was simply tit-for-tat.

"He's inside."

It's inside." The police officer led Sydney and Julien to the office door, and then he left.

Sydney and Julien exchanged glances, and finally, it was Julien who raised his hand to knock on the door.

A voice came from inside. "Please come in."

Sydney and Julien then went in.

The person inside the office was busy with his work behind the desk. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head for a look.

Seeing that it was Sydney and Julien, he quickly put down the file in his hands and stood up with a smile, bypassing the desk and reaching out his hand. "Mr. Flint and Ms. Raines, you guys are here."

Julien shook hands with him.

And the captain reached out to Sydney.

Julien didn't allow any other man to touch his beloved, even if it was just etiquette.

Furrowing his brows, he shook hands with the captain again. His eyes were filled with disgust.

When his hand was gripped by Julien once again, the captain froze and felt flattered.

In his view, the richest man in this country liked him.

He wondered if he could ask Julien for sponsorship or something like that. This man might agree. Who knew?

Just as the captain was thinking about whether to draft a sponsorship proposal for the police station, he suddenly heard a snicker.

He looked over and found that Sydney was laughing behind her hand.

While laughing, she was looking at their hands clasped together.

A flash of realization struck the captain's mind, and he immediately looked up at Julien.

Julien's face was sullen, and there was a hint of displeasure and disdain in his eyes.

The captain instantly realized the billionaire didn't like him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been looked at like that.

As for the warning in Julien's gaze...

The captain had previously worked in the criminal investigation department, so he could read minds and expressions.

The warning look appeared when Julien intercepted his hand from reaching out to Sydney.

In other words, Julien was not happy about his attempt to shake hands with Sydney.

As for why he was displeased?

It involved a man's possessiveness toward a woman.

When a man was deeply in love with a woman, he couldn't bear any other man touching her, regardless of the form.

That was why Julien had stopped him from shaking hands with Sydney and given him a warning look.

After realizing all this, the captain blushed with embarrassment.

It was just a kind gesture from him, and he had no other intentions. Julien, however, misunderstood the situation.

And he felt embarrassed about his assumption earlier. He had thought that Julien shook hands with him again because the latter appreciated his service to the police, and he had considered taking the opportunity to seek sponsorship.

Fortunately, he didn't voice his thoughts. It would have been a face-losing situation if he got rejected.

From the captain's wry face, Sydney got a general idea of what he was thinking about. She quickly put away her smile and nodded to him. "I'm sorry, sir. My husband is being a bit overprotective. I hope you don't take offense."

As she spoke, she grabbed Julien's arm and pulled it lightly, signaling him to let go.

Julien gave the captain a cold look and released his grip.

The captain looked at his hand, which was swollen from Julien's grip. He was dismayed, but on the surface, he remained composed. He put his hand back, put it in his pocket, and said with a polite smile, "Not at all. In fact, I'm happy for you to have such a good man who cares about you so much."

Julien raised his eyes and cast a scornful glance at the captain, as if saying, "Do I require your input on something that is already evident?"

The captain saw it, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He didn't expect the legendary cold-faced king of the business world to have such a personality.

Sydney also noticed Julien's disdainful look, and she had a headache.

"Come on! What are you doing?" Sydney glared at him, grabbed his arm, and pulled him back.

She chose to defuse the tension and face the captain alone.

The captain was relieved to see Sydney pull Julien away.

Finally, he didn't have to face this temperamental man.

After exhaling a breath, he regained his business-like manner and looked at Sydney seriously. "Well, let's do away with pleasantries and get down to business."

"Okay." Sydney nodded gently.

The captain made a gesture to invite them to sit on the sofa.

After Sydney and Julien took their seats and were served coffee, the captain started, "It's been a while since your clothes were ruined. How are the negotiations with the suspect's family going? Did you decide to settle it out of court?"

"What do you think?" Julien beat Sydney to speak, a tinge of sarcasm in his voice.

The captain understood his implication, taking off his cap and placing it aside. "Of course, I know you two wouldn't choose to forgive. But we still need to follow the procedure, and I will make a record."

He pointed to a recorder tucked in his breast pocket on the left.

As he said, he had anticipated their decision.

If they wanted to forgive, they would have done so when the suspect's family approached them rather than waiting till now.

Furthermore, given their wealth and status, they wouldn't need any compensation or apologies, nor did they fear any retaliation. So, their decision was understandable.

"We understand." Sydney looked at the recorder and smiled with understanding. "My thoughts align with my partner's. We choose not to forgive."

The captain opened his notebook and uncapped his pen to take down notes.

The regulation required both verbal and textual records.

While writing, he said, "I understand that, but I still need to ask on behalf of the suspect. Is there no room for negotiation?"

Sydney and Julien said nothing.
