"It's not that your words don't carry weight, it's just..."
On the other end of the phone.
Eoin Sadler hadn't finished speaking.
Another voice interrupted.
"Minister Lewis, Doyle Paxton wasn't someone I was trying to catch; he turned himself in, so... directly releasing him doesn't seem quite right..."
Upon hearing this sentence.
Alexis Lewis froze.
The voice on the other end belonged to Dirk Carter.
She immediately recognized it.
Recalling how forcefully she had spoken to Eoin Sadler earlier.
Her tone shifted quickly, "Oh, it's Secretary General Carter, you're aware that the bureaucratic world is full of nuances, right? His family approached me, and I thought it wasn't a big deal. Since Secretary General Carter is personally handling the case, then just let it proceed as it should."
"Alright, with Minister Lewis's approval, my mind is at ease."
Dirk Carter replied cheerfully.
He hung up the phone.
Alexis Lewis's mind began to spin with confusion.
What was going on?
