Jasper followed behind Skylar as they left the police station. He had not spoken a word.
Skylar asked Jasper, "Do you need a lift?"
Even since the incident on Skylar's leg, he rarely drove on his own. The last time he drove on his own was when he dropped the ransom money.
This time, of course, he came with his driver.
"No need."
Jasper shook his head and got into a car parked not far away.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions. He did not want to admit his failure even though the facts were right in front of him.
What happened just now seemed to have defied all of Valerie's words previously, which meant that he had believed in her blindly.
Ever since that day, the police had started to investigate the kidnapping case. They had also started to investigate the case 10 years ago as new evidence had surfaced. Although the case was 10 years ago, it could still be investigated.
Valerie was locked up in the detention center.
Hector and Amelia news of it.
"What should we do?"
After Amelia heard extremely anxious Hector's office.
immediately received
the news, she was and circled around
They both knew about the car accident 10 years ago and they also believed that Valerie might have helped Finley for a while.
"What should we do? What else can you do other than ask? Why don't you go home if you are not able to help?"
Hector felt dizzy when he saw Amelia pacing around his office. He was also extremely upset!
"If I can't help, can you? Valerie told you about Finley at that time but you did not take it seriously and told her to settle it herself. Look at the big mess she is in now!"
"Are you blaming me? She was the one who drove the car and killed the man, but it was me who helped her cover it up. Now you're blaming me?"
Back then, when Valerie had been involved in the car accident, it was Hector who helped her figure out a solution so that she did not need to go to prison.
Moreover, they had already given a large sum of money to Finley's family. Who would have thought that Finley was such a greedy person?
"I don't care. Valerie is going to get married soon. We cannot let the Zac family know about this. We must bail her out immediately, otherwise, things will become worse!"
Amelia knew that because of Valerie and Jasper's relationship, the Rae and Zac family have had many opportunities to work together.
If they knew that something had happened to Valerie, the wedding might be cancelled. That would bring a great loss to the Rae Family.
"Do you think I don't know that? I have just contacted the police and they said that she is a major suspect and cannot be bailed!"
"Try to pay them instead. What's that word? Post bail and await trial! Ask them to let Valerie out first. How can she eat and drink well in the detention center? The weather is so hot now and there is no air conditioning there. How can Valerie withstand such suffering?"
When Amelia spoke, her eyes turned red as she thought about Valerie in such harsh conditions.
"Alright! I got it. You may leave now!" Hector's heart ached when he heard Amelia's words. After all, Valerie was his daughter. All fathers cared about their children but he also knew that he did not have the authority to let her out.
"I won't leave. If you don't get Valerie out today, then I won't leave!"
"Do you think the police will easily obey my words?"
"Then find someone! You are the president of Rae Group! You can't even handle such a small matter?"
Hector slammed the table after he heard Amelia's words and said angrily, "Do you think that the Rae family is very powerful in A City? It was Skylar's mother and wife who have been kidnapped this time. Skylar will not easily let go of the accomplices. Who would dare to bail Valerie out?"
