Too Good for You: The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 91

Maxine instinctively raised her hand to shield her face. The blinding headlights quickly dimmed, but several more cars followed behind. A group of people poured out of the vehicles, nearly surrounding the task force's compound.

Xavier wiped the sweat from his brow, wondering what big shot they'd mess with this time. A heartbeat later, the driver of the sports car stepped out.

It was a tall and lean figure that exuded cool defiance.

Maxine's eyes darkened. "Albert Hamilton, the heir of the Hamilton family?"

The heir of the Hamilton family, one of the scions of the Big Four, was an infamous troublemaker. He was chaos incarnate, unruly, and bowed to no one. What was he doing here?

Maxine had a bad feeling.

Albert glanced around, his expression frivolous. "Well, am I early or late? Are all of you here to pick up the boss?"

Everyone was rendered speechless.

Maxine's expression twisted into something unreadable, but Xavier quickly jumped in. "May I ask who exactly you're here for, Mr. Hamilton?"

"I'm here to pick up my boss, Noelle Quinn."

Albert flicked his eyes lazily toward Xavier and fished out a document from his pocket. "Here. This is the investigation protection order issued by the supervisory headquarters. You recognize this, don't you?"

Xavier choked on his words. The investigation protection order issued by the supervisory headquarters was valid nationwide. He was just the head of a municipal task force. He had no authority to stop them!

"Of course, I do."

Xavier quickly reached for the document and turned toward Maxine. "Since headquarters has issued the protection order, shall we conclude the investigation, Ms. Clarkson? We should release her."

Anyone granted the protection order was a nationally recognized talent. The rumors didn't matter. If Noelle's life was under threat, they were obligated to ensure her safety.

Maxine's gaze grew cold. She examined the protection order and confirmed that it was genuine. She looked at Albert. "For you to personally show up with a protection order… Is there something going on between you and Noelle, Mr. Hamilton? Could she be your sweetheart?"

She had to admit that she was dissatisfied and jealous! She'd said those words on purpose, hoping to rile Hunter up!

But Albert only stared at her as if she'd grown a second head. "And since when was my relationship with her any of your business?"

Then, he glanced at Hunter, visibly impatient. "Who is this person, Hunter?"
