It was obvious that Nelson had been set up tonight.
Dustin and Luke, on the other hand, were on Nelson's side, and had just "jumped ship."
Once Nelson fell, it wasn't hard to guess how the narrow-minded Brad would deal with these "traitors."
Luke wasn't afraid of Brad, but he wasn't interested in an office fight with him.
If Nelson was dismissed, Luke's fight with Brad would only benefit someone else.
In comparison, helping Nielsen in passing was the most convenient choice.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged doctor returned with a defibrillator. Luke, who had been waiting for him at the door, took it from him.
A few minutes later, Luke opened the door and said, "Go in and keep an eye on her. Call me if anything happens."
The middle-aged doctor: "Huh?"
Luke didn't waste any time with him, and went straight to the living room.
The doctor didn't want to get involved in this matter, so Luke couldn't hide his inaction from him.
Since he wasn't trying to save anyone, there was no need for Luke to respect him.
Stunned for a moment, the middle-aged doctor quickly walked over to the bed and examined her, only to be shocked. "Is she really alive?"
For a moment, he was confused. Was he the doctor, or was the young officer the doctor?
This woman wasn't just in shock. Without the drugs and equipment in the hospital, it would be very difficult to save her.
While the profiteer doctor in the room was doubting his life and himself, it was a different scene in the living room.
When Luke arrived in the living room, he said frankly, "The young woman isn't dead. Miss Potts, Miss Gwenis, you can leave now."
Then, he looked at Jeffree and Nelson. "Which hospital should we send him to? Decide immediately if you can save his life."
Hearing that, Jenny and Pepper quickly got up.
Since the woman wasn't dead, it had nothing to do with them.
Accidentally entering a murder scene and accidentally entering an unconscious person's room were two different things.
The two women didn't care about Jeffrey and Nelson's wrangling at all; it was too low a level.
They hadn't come to the party with these two small fries in the first place. Now that something had almost happened to them, if Jeffrey didn't give them an explanation later, he would be in trouble.
The hierarchy of power was also divided into different levels.
After what happened tonight, Jeffree, who was worth billions, had no right to negotiate with the two female tycoons who had hundreds of billions in assets.
The dignity of a big shot could not be offended.
Watching the two women leave, Selina, who was standing behind Nelson and Jeffrey, gave Luke a mocking smile, which probably meant, "What a considerate female CEO."
Luke simply waved for her to come over.
What a joke. Pepper has also left. Does this mean that I want to change the color of Iron Man's helmet?
They didn't say anything and went to the door, leaving Jeffrey and Nelson in the living room.
In less than a minute, the two quickly came to an agreement. Jeffree made a phone call and called an ambulance from the family-controlled hospital.
Jeffrey, who was a complete weakling against Jenny and Pepper, had an absolute advantage in front of Nelson.
Even though he was in the wrong, it was Nielson who took the initiative to give in.
This was the reason why the agreement was reached so quickly.
Nelson had no choice. He couldn't bear the consequences of angering the Soderberg family, nor could he let the woman inside die.
Jeffrey also didn't want a murder case to happen in his villa, so he didn't pressure Nelson too much. He only asked that the matter be suppressed and Nelson be given an explanation later.
That was the end of it.
Luke and Selina were about to call it a day and leave, when Jeffrey called them back.
Nelson didn't say anything. He simply nodded slightly and gestured for Luke to make a phone call.
Jeffrey, who had seen everything, frowned. Was this Luke also Nelson's loyal follower?
A leader's dignity had to be maintained no matter what.
If he wasn't a loyal subordinate, Nelson shouldn't have done something so casual.
After Nelson left and the security guards left, the three of them were the only ones left in the living room.
Jeffrey, who had a basic understanding of Luke, simply said, "I hope you two can keep what happened today a secret."
Luke nodded decisively. "Okay, as long as Officer Nelson doesn't object."
Jeffrey frowned. "I'll settle this with him."
Luke said, "Then I'm fine."
Jeffrey was a little stunned. He felt that the young detective's change in attitude was a little strange.
Luke, however, said again, "Is there anything else, Mr. Soderberg? My partner and I would like to leave. "
Speechless, Jeffrey gestured for him to go ahead.
After watching them leave, he paced back and forth in the living room.
Why was he so polite to Luke? Of course, it wasn't because he had revived the woman in the room.
That woman wasn't from the Soderberg family, and dying here would only cause trouble at most. Jeffrey's gratitude wasn't that cheap.
Luke wasn't the New Jersey police, and this case wouldn't fall into NYPD's hands.
What Jeffrey was afraid of was Jenny and Pepper.
What Pepper could think of, could Jeffrey not think of?
He had even observed Pepper's expression when she heard the name Luke Coulson. She clearly wasn't unfamiliar with it.
Then, he texted his assistant and asked him to investigate Luke at the police department, especially if he might be connected to the two women. The assistant's reply surprisingly mentioned that Luke and Tony Stark had fought together in the Wall Street subway station a few days ago.
What else could Jeffrey say except for a quiver in his heart?
They had fought together before. God knew what Tony's attitude was toward this young detective.
Even without Tony's attitude, Pepper could tell that Luke's demeanor wasn't ordinary.
Jeffrey knew what Pepper thought of him. There was no way he could compare to Luke.
After Luke asked Jenny and Pepper to leave first, Jeffrey's feeling intensified.
So, the problem was Luke's attitude.
But what Luke meant in the end was that he wouldn't get involved in the aftermath of this matter, as long as he reached an agreement with Nelson.
A political animal like Nelson could be appeased with some benefits, so Jeffrey really didn't take it to heart.
It seemed that he had to give Luke a clear indication. As he thought of this, his mood relaxed, but his expression darkened.
He took out his phone and called his cousin. "Mike, my dear nephew Cook has caused some trouble here. It's best if you come immediately …"
Luke and Selina left Block B, walked across the lawn of the riverside villa, and returned to the main building of Block A, where the guests were gathered.
In the meantime, Luke received a message from a certain CEO asking if she needed to take care of the aftermath of tonight's case.
Luke told her not to worry about it and to go home and get some rest. She had to be energetic for the official meeting tomorrow.
As expected, he got a "pooh" in response. He put away his phone with a smile.
