Divorce: My Ex-Wife Begs Me Back

Chapter 6

The next day, Braylen got up early and rode a bike to the destination given by Dalton—the Royal Hospital. The Royal Hospital, located in the city center, was the largest and the best hospital in Upbany Hills.

"What relationship does that woman from yesterday have with Lord Shelton?" Braylen murmured to himself.

Originally, the Shelton family planned to send a car to pick him up, but Braylen thought it would be easier to ride a bike due to potential traffic jams. Sure enough, a few blocks from Royal Hospital, traffic was at a standstill. Braylen could barely continue riding his bike.

Then he thought of a shortcut to Royal Hospital, so he turned the handlebars and headed into a small alley beside a bakery. Just as he entered the alley, a sharp voice came, "Catch the pervert!" Immediately, he saw someone on a bike fleeing in panic.

"Pervert?" Braylen heard the word and sped up to chase after him.

However, that man was familiar with the area and soon got rid of Braylen.

"Mr. Giles, it’s here," said a gorgeous woman, leading a policeman with a fierce demeanor.

The woman was pretty with a stunning figure. Her curves were accentuated by her hot pants, revealing a pair of fair legs. As Ethan followed her, he occasionally glanced at her legs.

Seeing her, Braylen instantly thought of Jasmin, whom he had seen yesterday. They were both beautiful and kind of looked alike, though the woman lacked Jasmin's elegance and was overall not that attractive compared with Jasmin.

"Mr. Giles, that person was wearing a gray casual jacket and jeans. He was riding a bike, and he ran into this alley," the woman described the pervert’s features to the police. "But I didn't get a clear look at his face."

Suddenly, the woman spotted Braylen not far away and pointed at him with a frown, "It's him!"

Braylen initially wanted to tell her that the pervert had already escaped but was stunned by her words.

When Ethan saw Braylen, he immediately recognized him, thinking, ‘Braylen? Rayan's ex-brother-in-law! The scumbag who seduces rich women with his face!’

A malicious look flashed in Ethan's eyes. What a coincidence! He didn’t expect to run into Braylen here. Yesterday, Rayan told him that Braylen took five hundred thousand dollars from Jaslene, and they were planning to get that money back.

Unfortunately, they had no legitimate reason to bring Braylen to the police station. But right at the moment, catching a pervert gave them an excuse to get that money.

Braylen also recognized that the policeman was Ethan.

Ethan adjusted his hat, ran up to Braylen, and pressed down on his shoulder, shouting, "How dare you! I suspect that you sexually harassed the woman! Now, please come with me to the police station."

The woman accusing the pervert also came over, scanning Braylen up and down. "It's definitely him! I’m sure about it! You can never escape!"

Seeing the woman accuse him of being a pervert in a firm tone, Braylen felt helpless. "Are you blind?"

The woman frowned immediately as she swung her right hand for a slap. "How dare you argue!"

However, before she could touch him, Braylen grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

"How dare you!" She got furious and lifted her left hand for another slap, but Braylen caught it firmly again.

Then Ethan shouted sternly, "Let go of the lady, or I’ll catch you by force!"

Braylen released the woman’s hand and stared at Ethan coldly. "I’m not a pervert. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage."

The woman shook her wrist, which Braylen had hurt, and looked at him with disgust. "Are you saying I made a mistake?" She pointed at Braylen. "Gray hoodie, jeans, and riding a bike. If it’s not you, who else could it be?"

Braylen chuckled indifferently. "The features you mentioned are so common on the street. Do you mean they are all suspects who harassed you?"

"You shameless man!" The woman was in a rage, grabbing Braylen’s bike. "You call it a coincidence, right? Is it also a coincidence that the bike is exactly the same?"

Braylen looked at the bike and thought carefully, only to find that it really seemed so.

At that moment, Ethan showed his handcuffs with an evil smile. "Braylen, then please come with me."

Braylen sneered, "If you suspect I’m a pervert, just check the surveillance on the street. It’s not hard to do it. In less than three minutes, you’ll know the truth."

Ethan’s face stiffened. Actually, he didn't care if Braylen was a pervert. He just wanted to take Braylen to the police station to interrogate him forcefully about the money. Checking the surveillance would only clear Braylen’s name. Ethan didn’t want to let Braylen go. After all, he had five hundred thousand dollars in his hands.

Ethan narrowed his eyes, replying disdainfully, "I’m a police officer, so it’s easy for me to recognize someone."

Then he sneered and added, "You’re so calm because you know the area well, right? And you would take the chance to escape while I check the surveillance."

"That's right!" the woman chimed with her sweet voice, "Mr. Giles, don’t let him go!"

Braylen smiled coldly, "I can go to the police station, but I want her to come along."

"You want me to go to the police station with you?" The woman crossed her arms and looked at Braylen with disdain. "My time is precious. Why would I waste it going with you?"

Braylen felt it was ridiculous. "So if you falsely accuse me, I’ll just have to bear it, right?"

"So what if I falsely accuse you?" The woman shrugged. "They’ll just release you later."

At that moment, Ethan snapped the handcuffs onto Braylen's wrists with a click.

Braylen snorted, "Mr. Giles, what you're doing right now doesn’t seem to comply with the law, does it?"

"The law?" Ethan replied arrogantly, "That means nothing to me!"

The woman couldn’t help but compliment, "Mr. Giles, good job. People like him should be dealt with in this way!"

Hearing the woman praise him, Ethan laughed smugly, but when he turned back to Braylen, his expression turned as cold as ice. "Braylen, come with me!"

When Braylen heard that, he snorted, "You’re so determined to take me to the police station. I suppose you’ve got some benefits from the Randall family, right?"

Ethan's expression changed at that remark, and he decided to be blunt. "That’s enough! Come with me! We’ll talk about it at the police station!"
