The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 852

But her venomous words didn't faze the arresting officers in the slightest.

"Step aside, ma'am," the captain demanded.

The captain maintained his professional composure until Mr. Yeager marched up from the front row and stood right in front of them.

He stood perfectly straight, radiating an arrogant authority.

He looked at the police like they were nothing but dirt on his shoe.

Given his political rank, these beat cops were barely fit to act as his doormen, let alone get this close to him.

He was only stooping to their level because he had to protect his son-in-law.

"I know your commissioner personally. Get the hell out of here right now," Mr. Yeager barked.

"Today is a pivotal moment for my daughter and son-in-law. If there's an issue, wait until after the bell is rung and the reception is over. I'll personally invite the commissioner to my estate to discuss it then."

"You are a government official yourself, sir. You should know we have a job to do," the captain replied firmly.

"We are taking him in today. We have direct orders; he's the primary target of an active federal investigation. Please do not obstruct justice."

Seeing that his reputation held no weight with these men, Mr. Yeager's temper flared.

"So my word means nothing now? Have your commissioner call me directly! If any of you dare touch him today, I will personally see to it that you lose your badges."

But the captain wasn't buying the bluff.

"If you have an issue, you can take it up with the commissioner at the precinct. Cuff him."

The rest of the attendees watched from a distance like it was a spectacular theatrical performance.

No one dared step forward to intervene.

After all, the badges and weapons the officers carried were very real. No one wanted to go toe-to-toe with federal law enforcement.

Besides, most people were thoroughly enjoying the drama.

They wanted to know the dirty details.

The journalists, in particular, hoisted their cameras higher—this was a rare, explosive scandal that would easily generate far more clicks than a standard corporate IPO.

Mr. Yeager was so furious he nearly lost his footing, while Sallie shrieked for the security team.
