The police were highly efficient. Furthermore, this involved the Lawrence family. The authorities started an investigation overnight without delay.As soon as Lucille woke up, she was taken to the police station by Luther.The experience in the evening left her with lingering fears. Without much effort, the police obtained a strong testimony from her, along with many phone records between her and Wendy.After the evidence was obtained, the arrest operation was launched immediately.In the villa in the suburbs at midnight.Magdalene lay on the bed, tossing and turning.Henry scolded her in displeasure, "What are you doing, not sleeping at all? That black sheep has left. Do you want to go with her too?"Magdalene was a little uneasy, and she said cautiously, "Don't say that. Wendy is still our daughter, after all. Didn’t you go along with the things she did back then? You’re blaming her now that things have been exposed! I’m worried about how she’s alone outside now..."Then, she
The police put the two elderly under surveillance and contacted Byron immediately."What? You don’t know her whereabouts?"Byron's expression sank after hearing from the police. "What did Henry and Magdalene say?"The police said, "They don't know either. We’ve been searching hard. I thought since you and Wendy were… Maybe if you call her, she might respond."The implication was to use Byron as bait.Byron frowned slightly and glanced at the woman beside him.Rosalie did not hear what was said on the line. She was slightly puzzled when she met his gaze."I see. I'll try."Byron spoke a little, then hung up the phone.Rosalie asked, "What's wrong?""Wendy is missing. Henry Fuller told the police he drove Wendy out after that photo was leaked, and her whereabouts are unknown now."Byron's expression was serious. "The police hope that I’ll cooperate with them and contact Wendy to see if I can lure her out."Rosalie nodded in understanding and looked at him nervously.First, B
Wendy's mind went blank when she exited the hotel. She could not think of what to do next.Of course, the villa in the suburbs was no longer an option.Byron must have placed his men in that area.She could not stay in the hotel anymore...In desperation, Wendy chose to call Andrea.On the other end, Andrea had already fallen asleep. Abruptly woken up by the phone ring, she subconsciously wanted to hang up.She took a glimpse at the caller ID, and suddenly she was wide awake. Her eyes filled with impatience.‘Wendy Fuller! How long is this woman going to pester me?!’She adjusted her mood before picking up the phone. "Sister Wendy, is there anything I can do for you?""Where are you now? I'll be waiting for you downstairs in the hotel. Come out and meet me now. Don't let anyone find out!"Wendy's voice sounded tense.Andrea's heart sank inexplicably. Before she could speak, her body was already moving instinctively."What's the matter? What happened? What do you want me to
"Go abroad?"Wendy's face darkened. "If I leave the country, wouldn't that b*tch Rosalie get what she wanted? She hasn't gotten her retribution yet, how can I leave!"Andrea’s heart tightened as she noticed the storm brewing around the mad woman. She cautiously persuaded her."If you don't go abroad, you will probably be arrested by the Lawrence family or the police. At that time, you can forget about taking revenge on Rosalie. I'm afraid your situation will be even worse!"At this point, she dared not offend Wendy further for fear that she would go berserk. So, she tried to de-escalate her emotions as much as possible.‘If Wendy goes abroad, it will be all benefits and no disadvantages for me!’Thinking of this, Andrea even took the initiative to propose an offer. "If you are worried about finances, I can prepare it for you. Now I’m considered part of Quirke Enterprise. Although I can't take out much, I would still have ten or twenty million."Wendy panicked when she was forced
Melody looked at Rosalie coldly. She suspected that her son was making a big fuss because of this woman.Byron stood between his mother and Rosalie. He took Rosalie downstairs and got her to sit on the single sofa, then protectively stood beside her."I didn't want to bother the police so late either. This afternoon, I caught someone named Lucille who tried to pour lubricant on Rosalie's brakes. If I didn't find out in time, Rosalie and the children might be dead by now!"With that said, Melody's face changed. "What? Doesn't that person know that our little Estie is in the car too?"Byron's tone also sank. "Of course, they knew. After all, the person behind this was Wendy!""What did you say?"Melody was so flustered that she lost her balance and fell back on Benedict.Benedict quickly helped her to the sofa, and asked, "What's going on? How can you be sure that Wendy did it? The Fuller family has fallen to this point, has she not realized her mistake?"Byron nodded plainly. "M
Although she never explicitly admitted it, this apology was a disguised acknowledgment that she instigated Lucille’s actions! Melody's heart turned cold."For all these years, I blindly trusted such a cruel person like you!"Her voice was indifferent.Wendy could catch the iciness in her tone. She quickly explained, "Auntie, I swear, this is the only thing I lied to you about! I only did this because I love Byron too much! You understand how I feel, right? I promise I will never do it again, ever!"Her weak apology riled Melody up even more. "The only thing? You don't think this is enough, do you? You almost killed my granddaughter!"Despite being separated by the phone, Wendy could not help but shiver and choked. "I was wrong, I was so wrong! Please forgive me, I would kneel and beg Estie for forgiveness, please! Did you forget? As you said before, you would only accept me as the Young Lady of the Lawrence family! I will give all that up, can you please ask Byron to let me go?"
Melody shook her head, her face downcast, unwilling to say another word.The fact that she got cheated on by someone like Wendy was shameful enough for her.Worse still, she had to admit it in front of Rosalie!From her response, Byron and Rosalie looked at each other with heavy emotions in their eyes."What do you want the police to do with her?" Benedict expressed concern.Byron said calmly, "She should be dealt with according to the crimes she did. However, now that Wendy has gone off the radar, we must locate her whereabouts to be able to do something."Hearing this, Melody frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have spoken to her in that tone!"If Melody had known earlier, even at the expense of her disgust she would pretend to care for that woman to lure her back!Byron knew what his mother was thinking. He said, "She is very cautious. I asked you to call only to give it a try. I didn't have much hope an
After Melody and Benedict left, Rosalie looked at the time."It's getting late, I should go back. I don't feel at ease when the children are at home by themselves."Byron frowned slightly, then said, "I'll send you."Indeed, it was late now. With Wendy's whereabouts unknown, she may appear at any time to threaten Rosalie's life. Byron was worried about letting her go back by herself.Rosalie knew that he was worried about her, so she did not refuse. "Alright, thanks for the ride."The two got into the car. Byron started the car and drove towards Rosalie's house.On the way, they talked about Wendy."I wonder where Wendy is now. I will never be at ease if she is still at large..."Rosalie looked at the scenery outside the window with melancholy in her eyes.Byron slowed down the speed of the car. His deep voice soothed her. "The evidence is solid. The police will not let her go unpunished, and I will do my best to locate her whereabouts. Before that, I will have my men protect
