Chapter 157: Documents
Drexel POV
When Julian gave another document to the police officer, Madam Lestrange jerked her head back. She glared at Julian like she would murder him this moment
The police officer was perhaps enjoying it all
He pursed his lips tightly in a thin line in order to stop himself from laughing. He picked up the document and flipped the first page
"What is it?" Lestrange demanded. "And how come they are producing these documents here and not in the court? This is unfair!"
The officer put his finger in his ear and rubbed it hard. Taking a deep breath in, he said, "This is a letter signed by Penelope which says that she went to Drexel on her own accord." He flipped another page and couldn't help but laugh. He turned the page towards Madam Lestrange and showed it to her. "And thisss... is Penelope's power of attorney!"
Lestrange's eyes widened. She stared at the document as her face paled
"So now that it is established that Penelope was never kidnapped. She went to Drexel on her own accord, this complaint no longer stands," the police officer said with a twinkle in his eye
He exhaled roughly and then with a gentle smile on his lips, he turned towards the computer
screen
"You can't erase this complaint just like that!" Lestrange squealed. "I-I will go to your superiors with this complaint. I will get you expelled from services! You are with them. You are biased!"
The police officer narrowed his eyes at Lestrange while I watched the drama, missing a popcorn packet. "You are threatening a police officer in the police station. That is enough for me to arrest you, Madam Lestrange," he growled. "If you think you are above the law, then let me get this straight-you are a nobody in my station. Now get lost, before I change my mind and put you behind bars for your audacity to threaten me!"
Lestrange was about to say something, but Ezra stopped her by keeping his hand on her shoulder. He leaned towards her and murmured something about we will see him later Haughtily, she picked up her clutch and rose to her feet. "This is not over Drexel," she said through her clenched teeth. "I will make sure that you give Penelope back to her mother."
"You can't do that," Julian intervened
"Shut up!" Lestrange shouted
"Oh, I can't!" Julian replied as he raised his hand up. He took out another document from his folder and this time handed it to her. "That document shows that now Penelope 1s over eighteen. She is an adult and has taken an
informed decision. Since Willow was her adoptive mother, she has moved to the court to disassociate herself from her mother. I don't think that Willow would disagree to it, mostly because she wasn't able to take care of Penelope. And Penelope has already stated her facts as to why she would want to break her relationship with her adoptive mother."
Lestrange's mouth fell to the floor as she took the document from Julian
"You can read all this at leisure and if you like you can also take legal help." Julian took his card out and gave it to her. "This is my card and my number is written over it. You can call me whenever you like," he added with a cocky smile
Madam Lestrange seethed on the inside
Quietly, she kept the card in her clutch and then walked out with her son in tow. As soon as she left, the tension in the police station dissipated. I shook my head lightly and got up. The police officer got up too
He extended his hand to me and I took it to shake it with him. He said, "It is not often that Lestrange 1s defeated. But I would say that you have to be careful of that vile woman. I have seen many getting destroyed by her."
My lips curled up. "Thank you for your warning, officer," I said. I knew that he hated her from the core of his heart. I nodded and then left the station with my men and my lawyer following me
I was particularly impressed with Julian. That boy had come to us twice in the past month and had painstakingly listened to every detail. He had beautifully created his web around Lestrange. "I am going to keep two of my people with you at all times to guard you," I said
"That won't be necessary, Drexel," he replied. "I can take care of myself."
I shook my head. "You don't know Lestrange."
He pursed his lips. "I can't wait to quash women like her!" We shook hands and then Julian left, escorted by two of my warriors who I had assigned for him and who were waiting outside
I liked that he was a man with less words and more action
I turned to Leo and as I opened the door of the car, I said, "Any news on the judge who will be presiding this case?"

Leo nodded. "Yes, Sebastian McLeod. He is an interesting judge. Has very powerful relatives."
"T see," I said and sat in the car. Leo took the driver's seat as Boris sat beside him. Others came in a different car. "Anything you would want me to be in?"
"Nope!" Leo said. "Boris and I will be visiting one of his relatives, a senator, today. But I would need a few men with me. We will be crashing a party!"
I laughed because I knew what he meant by saying that he would be crashing the party
"You can take as many as you like, Leo. I just want this to get over. And "I drew my teeth over my bottom lip. "I want Lestrange to be destroyed!"
"That will be done. We have some interesting evidence against her," Boris chuckled
"Mind telling me?" I said, narrowing my eyes
What were these boys up to?
Boris took his phone out and then showed a video to me. My eyebrows shot to my hairline
"What the fuck!" I rasped
Boris took his phone back with a cocky smile
and I burst out laughing. He said, "I think after this, she is going to disappear for her entire life because she will have way too many men after
her."
