Chapter 187
Harry Foster was a smart man. When he received Elena Foster’s message in the casino, he knew that the matter had been exposed after putting two and two together. Now that Trevon Wilson was still at his home, he didn’t have the guts to go back. He simply pretended he did not see the message. He hoped that Elena would take responsibility for everything
At 11:30 pm. Harry stepped into the Foster family’s living room leisurely
Emily Foster was sitting on the sofa, making a phone call. She said coquettishly. “Max, help my mother, please? I’ll definitely complete that task you mentioned. We’ll be family from now on. Isn’t my mother your mother? Surely you don’t want my mother to get locked up for real’ It won’t be good for you either.”
Emily cajoled petulantly as she flattered Max Wilson. “Max, you’re so influential in Athana. You must know of many ways to help Who wouldn’t show respect to Max Wilson?”
Max really tell for Emily’s tricks. He was so overjoyed when he heard her flattery. All along, everyone thought that he was inferior to Trevon Wilson. Not many people thought highly of him. He could only do whatever he wanted because he had the same surname. When Emily flattered him in this fashion. he was so pleased and elated that he immediately agreed to help her
People liked to hear compliments, even if they were hypocritical lies
When she saw that Max had agreed to help, Emily’s heart relaxed. She even kissed the cell phone a few times. “Goodbye, honey. I love you Muah!”
Emily only realized that Harry was sitting on the sofa opposite her after ending the call. She said with a little displeasure, “Dad, where did you go today? Do you know that Mom was arrested by the police? It’s all because of that bitch Natalie Foster She was the one who brought Trevon Wilson to arrest her. Dad, quickly think of a way to get Mom out.”
Although Max agreed to help her, the prerequisite was that she needed to help Max complete what he had asked her to do The risk was too high. What if she did not succeed? She could not bank on this task alone to redeem her mothers freedom. She would feel more secure if there were alternatives.
Of course. Harry knew that something had happened to Elena. Now, he could only pretend not to know. “I was quite busy today. I didn’t check my cell phone. I only saw your mother’s message just now I’ll think of a way. Let’s go visit her
tomorrow.”
Emily wanted her father to approach Natalie Foster This was the most direct method. As long as Natalie did not pursue this matter, this matter could be minimized. Her mother would be released in minutes.
“Dad, call Natalie and ask her to let Mom off Although Mom was in the wrong. Natalie was fine and she wasn’t hurt. If Mom goes to jail in the future, what will happen to the Foster family’s dignity and social standing?
Emily was going to marry into the Wilson family in the future. How could she afford to get besmirched by this stain of a family member going to jail? Wouldn’t she be gossip fodder for all the pampered daughters of wealthy families for the rest
of her life!
Harry stood up and paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back. He looked like he was thinking. analyzing, and thinking of a way.
He was penniless now and his luck was so bad that he was almost left with just the shirt on his back. If not for the fact that the people beside him also lost, he would have suspected that the casino cheated. At this moment, he was in no mood to care about Elena He said perfunctorily. “Til call that wretched girl tomorrow and then try to call my friends. Don’t be anxious, I’ll think of a way If you have nothing to do, go to bed first. Sitting in the living room like that won’t help your mother get
out
As soon as he finished speaking. Harry turned around, strode towards the stairs, and went upstairs. He had no intention of staying in the living room to discuss how to save Elena.
Although Emily knew that her father was right, she felt that there was something different about her father. She just couldn’t put her finger on it. She got the vague feeling that he was hiding something from her and her mother.
Forget it Saving her mother was the most important thing now. She would go to the police station first tomorro
The next morning. Emily woke up early. This was the first time she had woken up so early in more than 20 years
While she was rating breakfast Harry also got out of bed. He was dressed in a black suit. As he walked downstairs slowly, he did not look worried at all that his wife had been arrested
When he noticed his daughter staring intently at himself, he cleared his throat “Let’s eat first. After that, we’ll go to the police station and and out from your mother what happened. Then we’ll think of a way.”
When she heard her father’s words, Emily’s suspicion lessened somewhat. “Mm-hmm. Dad, you should eat too
As soon as Harry sat down and before he could touch anything, the main door of the Foster famuly’s residence wa open. A delicate, good-looking youth entered. He had a squeaky-clean demeanor and gave the impression that and untainted. At 15 years old, he was already 5 feet 7 inches tall.
Chapter 187
Emily turned her head and saw that her younger brother had returned. She was a little puzzled. Wasn’t it Friday today? Classes Judit ended yet. Besides, her younger brother generally never came home.
She stood up and walked. Tucker Foster’s side. The height difference was immediately obvious Our was 5 feet 3 inches
feet 7 miles, with a difference of Finches. “Why are you bar Have classes ended
while the other
Tucker did not answer Finil
estion Instead, he asked. “Has Mom been arrested?
“How did you know? Eruly was astounded Wastit thus a little too fast? Mom was only taken away yesterday and her younger brother immediately returned today Could it be that the entire city of Athana already knew?
This must not happen Emily was going to marry into the Wilson family in the future She quickly turned on her cell phone and checked the news She flipped through a few sites but did not find any news about her mother being arrested Her anxious heart relaxed, but she was still puzzled by how her younger brother knew
Tucker was neither surprised nor sad. He only said indifferently. “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. The truth will come to light sooner or later”
Emily had the feeling that her younger brother was not here to show concern for his mother, but was here to cause trouble for Emily She was already annoyed enough. She was going marry into the Wilson family next month. At the critical moment, something like this happened to her mother
This younger brother had always looked down on Emily In fact, it could even be said that Tucker looked down on the entire Foster family Emily was his biological sister, yet he would use the knowledge he had learned to relike her. She was so angry that she patted Tucker’s shoulder unceremoniously. “What kind of attitude is that? What are you saying? She’s your mother”
Tucker did not take Emily’s words seriously. He was neither angry nor anxious. He sat on the sofa as if the whole matter had nothing to do with lum He took the moral high ground and expounded the correct values to Emily She did something wrong so she should receive the punishment she deserved”
Emily questioned her younger brother in disbelief. “Tucker Foster, do you mean that your mother deserves to go to jail? She would be letting you down if she didn’t go to jail? Is there something wrong with your brain? She’s your biological mother What good will it do you if she goes to jail?”
