Chapter 47: A 180-Degree Change in Attitude_1

"Mr. Cadwell?"

"Oh." Not just anyone could become the chief of police before the age of forty. Simon Cadwell had already seen from their previous interaction that Jeff Quinlan and Nathalie Quinlan's relationship was strained. He glanced surreptitiously at the indifferent girl, quickly made a judgment, and his face turned cold. Creating distance from Jeff Quinlan, he said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "How come Mr. Quinlan seems to be more knowledgeable about the case than the chief of police himself?"

Jeff Quinlan detected the mockery in his words, and his body tensed. He didn't understand why Simon Cadwell had been so warm and cordial towards him just a moment ago and had suddenly changed his tune, not giving him any "face" in public.

But Simon Cadwell was the district chief of police. Even though he wasn't a high-ranking official, he held significant power. Suppressing his sense of humiliation, Jeff Quinlan forced a stiff smile.
