Chapter 188
After half an hour, the three arrived at the police station with the lawyer. Elena no longer had her usual heavy makeup and energetic appearance. She seemed to have aged a lot in just one night “You’re here Tucker, why are you back? I’m fine. There’s just a small problem. You should focus on your studies. Don’t worry about me”.
Enly knew that Elena doted on her younger brother the most. She could not help but feel jealous. “Mom, you don’t have to hide it anymore. Now, everyone in Athana probably knows that you are in jail. Needless to say, that bitch must have paid for it to be in the trending topics
Emily said nothing about the tight with her brother in the morning because she knew that Elena would still side with her brother. Even if she said it, Elena would repeat what Harry told her in the morning. She would ask her to give way to her brother since she was the elder sister
Elena knew there would be a fight between her and Natalie sooner or later. They had pretended to be polite in the past, but nothing mattered anymore. “Tucker, go to school. Mom is fine.”
“Even if I have to go to jail, I have to protect the Foster family for you. It has to be yours,” thought Elena.
Tucker had already come to meet her, so he didn’t want to stay any longer. He didn’t want to hear those unpleasant voices. “Okay. I’ll have to leave now. You should reform yourself in jail. Don’t worry about me. I don’t think it’s embarrassing for you to go to jail.”
Elena looked at her sensible son with tears shimmering in her eyes. “Sigh! Okay Mom understands. Study hard. You have your sister and father at home. Bye, my dear
Elena didn’t want her son to be involved in this mess, nor did she want him to know more.
After Tucker left. Emily began to curse, “You have raised him for nothing. He is siding with an outsider and only knows how to side with that bitch every day. Moni, don’t worry. I’ve already told Carlos. He said he’ll get you out.”
Elena knew that getting out of this place would not be easy. After all, the person who put her in jail was not anyone else but Mr Wilson. She only hoped that her son’s future life would be ensured. She did not want her son to be affected by what she
had done
After so many years, she understood why Tucker stayed in school and spoke so little. It was just that, as a woman and a mother, how could she not want to marry well and not leave anything for her child? As for Emily, she was not worried at all. Emily had her way of surviving.
Elena looked very haggard. She seemed to have seen through a lot of that night. “Emily, go outside first. I have something to talk to your father.”
Emily pouted. What did she mean? She even had to speak behind her back? Although she felt uncomfortable about it, she still walked out unwillingly.
Harry was a little flustered. Elena looked serious, as if she was holding something in. He sat down nervously and asked, “What do you want to say?”
Elena had been married to him for so many years. She knew Harry inside out. Mr. Wilson said that he had lost all his shares and only had 2 left on him. How much could he pass down to his son? “Harry, since I’ve been married to you for so many years. I only have one request.”
Harry had a bad feeling. “Speak”
Elena still wanted to hear from Harry himself about the gamble he was involved in. “Did you sell 8% of your shares and become addicted to gambling? Mr. Wilson said so.” She did not give Harry the slightest chance to explain because Mr. Wilson’s investigation would not possibly be a mistake.
Harry did not hide it “Yes, my luck has been slipping past me recently.”
Elena’s eyes were already blurry, and her heart ached. She did not expect that she would still trust Harry after losing more than half of her family assets. She even transferred her money to him. “So there’s no project at all. The 16 million dollars I gave you that day was also used for gambling, right?
“Yes, I’m post borrowing some money from you. Is it necessary to make a fuss about it? I can always make a profit out of it” He believed that he would not keep losing
Elena did not expect her to end up like this. The identity of Mrs. Foster that she had painstakingly fought for was instantly gone. If Harry continued to gamble, what else could she leave for Tucker? She closed her eyes and made a decision. “Harry, I can take the blame for everything, but I have a condition. Transfer the villa under Tucker’s name and give him the remaining 2% shares in your hands. If you do both, I will take the blame for everything and not go back on my word”
Harry’s eyes lit up when he heard her say she would admit she did everything. A few seconds later, he heard her requesting him to transfer the assets. He was not dead yet. Ite beat around the bush. “Elena, Tucker is not an adult yet I can’t transfer the ownership even if I want to. I’ll transfer the ownership when he is an adult. Besides, I only have one son. Who else can I give all these to if not him?”
Elena’s trust in Harry was gone. She would not take this risk and give her opinion. “Add Tucker’s name to the property deed.
Chapter 188
and shares. Once Tucker becomes an adult, the ownership will automatically transfer. Write a statement and notarize it. I will not take the blame if I don’t ser proof You know that what we did would not only put us in jail sentence.
These words successfully made Harry feel a clubd running downs his spine. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, don’t go back on your word I’ll take good care of my son and daughter Keep your mouth shut in there. If anything happens to me. our son won’t have anyone to look after himTM
Elena did not want to talk anymore She turned around and entered the room. Husband and wife were supposed to bear everything together but this happened when they faced this situation. She could not help but feel ironic. She scoffed, feeling that she had awakened from her dream.
Meanwhile some others were in a joylul situation.
At the hospital. Natalie had taken a day off today. Lena was going to be discharged, and she was not at ease. She still hoped Lena would undergo another full-body checkup. At this moment, she was accompanying her for various tests.
Lena was happy, but she said. Tm fine. I really don’t need to be checked. Why would we need to spend that money?” Natalie smiled and continued to push Lena’s wheelchair Mel followed beside them “Don’t worry Just treat it as spending money to buy peace of mind, okay?”
By the time all the tests were checked, it was already two hours later. Natalie did not cut the queue. She followed the hospital’s rules and met Doctor Lewis upon returning to the ward
Lena uled and greeted him “Doctor Lewis, thank you for everything during my stay in the hospital”
When Doctor Lewis saw that it was the patient he was in charge of, he smiled and said. “You’ve been discharged from the hospital today, right? Good. Go home and rest well. Don’t stress yourself too much”
Then, he instructed Natalie. “Pay attention to the patient’s nutrition and make sure she doesn’t overload herself with her work’
Natalie replied. “Alright, thank you, Doctor Lewis”
Doctor Lewis exchanged a few pleasantries and said that it was his job. Then, he left.
When they returned to the ward, they saw someone was already standing there. He was dressed in his usual black suit and stood upright. His noble temperament made lam look out of place in this ward. Lena looked at him. Wasn’t this Jasper’s father she had seen in the neighborhood last time?
Natalie did not expert Trevon to come over. She introduced, “Lena, he is Jasper’s father.”
Trevon was no longer as cold as before. He said gently, “Lena, I came to pick you up. You’re Natalie’s godmother, and you’re my godmother too. You saved my son’s life. I should acknowledge you as my godmother for that.”
Trevon denied all of Lena’s excises.
How could Lena dare to let such a man call her godmother? Wasn’t this a joke? Natalie could tell Lena was uneasy and quickly said. “It’s okay, Lena. You deserve this because you treated me just like your daughter.”
Trevon looked at the woman’s bright smile and the corners of his lips curled up
Mel had never seen such a handsome man. The first attractive man she saw was Mr. Hawk. At that time, she thought that Mr. Hawk was already very handsome. Now, she was a little suspicious of what the men in the city did to grow up so good-looking The men were stunning, and the women were gorgeous.
Mel was still helping Lena pack her things. Trevon pulled Natalie out the door and gently tucked her hair behind her ear. Her delicate touch made her blush. “What are you doing?”
“This nurse is not bad. I think she’s quite serious. I decided to keep her here so she could look after you both”
Natalie’s eyes were filled with doubts “Have you already talked to her about ip**
Trevon explained. “I didn’t talk to her Jim did I don’t have her contact information”
Natalie was speechless I don’t thank Lasked you that Why are you nervous? Did you do something guilty?*
Trevon starked and whispered into her ear, I do have something my mind about you, but you stopped me from doing it
Natale knew what topir he was talking about They were all adults, so how could she not understand? She hit his chest and stared at him with her big round eyes “Can you clear those dirty thoughts in your mind?”
He said seriously, “Aren’t you a brain surgeon! Why don’t you clear them?”
Natalie was speechless as she thought, “I’m a doctor in the cerebral surgery department, not a waste-sweeper
