My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 484

Lionel told them the truth.

He had seen that Hannah was being bullied and simply wanted to teach the man a lesson, so he slapped him as a warning. He never imagined the man would actually call the police. That was a development he hadn't anticipated at all.

After hearing his explanation, the officer gave the disgraced CEO a long look, a suspicion forming that the man might not be entirely stable.

Lionel had been all over the news lately. Even as a cop in a different city, he was well aware of the family drama and the impending divorce.

“Given that you acted on your own and were not incited by your wife, you are required to apologize to him.”

James was pleased with this outcome.

“An apology is hardly enough! I’ve been seriously injured. Look at this handprint on my face, it’s severe.”

The officer continued, “You will also have to pay for his medical examination and emotional distress. And please, refrain from this kind of behavior in the future. They had already resolved the matter privately. Your actions cause unnecessary trouble for society.”

The officer then asked James if he was satisfied with this resolution, letting him know they could pursue it further if he wasn't.

James was greedy and would have loved to milk it for more.

But he also knew that powerful people like the Rosenbergs could resort to dirty tricks if pushed too far. It was better to quit while he was ahead.

“I am very satisfied with your handling of this, officer. I just want to tell Mr. Rosenberg that this country is governed by the rule of law,” he declared, striking a righteous pose.
