NovelEnglishChapter 328 Clarify Chloe was dumbfounded when the police signaled her to stop.
"Ma'am, please cooperate. This gentleman here reported you for drunk driving," the officer said, tapping on her car window and motioning for her to take a breathalyzer test. She looked at Michael standing behind the traffic cop, her face a picture of disbelief.
The display showed her alcohol levels weren't over the limit.
The officer gave her a scrutinizing look and then glanced at Michael.
Chloe rolled up her window and drove off past Michael.
If not for the presence of the police, she would have definitely given Michael the finger! She thought to herself, "This guy is a complete idiot!" As Michael watched the Porsche speed past him, he grumbled, "Why did you let them go?" 116 The officer turned back, saying, "Sir, the driver wasn't drunk. We can't detain people without cause.

Michael remained silent, his face contorted in frustration.
Owen had been packing up since returning from Shawn Heavy Industries in the morning.

Now that I've fallen out with Michael, there's no reason forto remain." As Owen packed, he tried calling Lucy, but she didn't answer.

His mood lifted as he went to open the door, even planning what to say to Lucy.
To his surprise, standing outside were Michael and a disgruntled Asher.
"What are you doing here?" Owen asked.
Michael, more composed than the other two, said, "After so many years of friendship, it's better to clear up any misunderstandings." Owen couldn't deny the sense in his words.
Even if he was leaving, he needed to explain to them.

Michael hadn't thought much of it, but it seemed that it was Owen who had taken it.
Sensing Michael's gaze, Owen awkwardly stood in front of the glass cabblocking his sight. "Is there something you want to say?" Sitting down, Michael asked, "Have you decided to leave Shawn Heavy Industries?" Michael believed Shawn Heavy Industries held significant meaning for Owen.
Owen pressed his lips, still holding items he hadn't put in his suitcase yet.
"After all, Shawn Heavy Industries doesn't really have a place for me," Owen replied.
He didn't want to be a mere shareholder.
