Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 284: She’s Not Afraid

After Ethan Sterling ostentatiously took Ruby Sullivan away, the volatile female police officer at the station exploded, "Boss, what’s going on here?"

The documents clearly stated that Ruby Sullivan and Ethan Sterling had divorced a year ago, and now you can find scandals online about Ethan’s ambiguous relationships with other women. Who are they trying to show off their affection to at the police station?

"Calm down for a moment." Old Zhang couldn’t bear to look at his apprentice in this rampage, "They followed the proper procedures to take her away, and we don’t have any substantial evidence here. Nowadays, it’s all about the evidence, not the person. We can’t detain someone just because of Julian Lowe’s statement."

"What do we do, then?" The female officer’s heart ached as she thought of Gwen Yates holding back her tears. She encountered many such cases every year, where young women were inexplicably wronged, and when they mustered the courage to report it, they faced various reasons why even rape couldn’t be acknowledged.

How could someone like Julian Lowe, who takes money for work, suddenly develop a conscience?

Moreover, Gwen Yates adamantly insisted she wasn’t raped, which makes it hard to believe.

Such a good girl, attending university, should have a bright future, experiencing a sweet romantic relationship...

"Boss, let me investigate this. I can’t let someone like Ruby Sullivan get away with it." The female officer said, grabbing the phone on the table and storming off.

Old Zhang sighed.

The female officer’s name was Julie Jewel, and her sister encountered a thug at university, was raped, and although she survived, she later suffered from depression due to immense psychological pressure and committed suicide shortly after.

That’s why she particularly despises such matters. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Near H University, Gwen Yates’ parents bought her a two-bedroom apartment after learning she was accepted. The school dormitory conditions weren’t great, and since their daughter planned to sit A University’s graduate exams, if she doesn’t go abroad, she would develop her career in Ariston, so buying a house early was the right choice.

Last week, after receiving Gwen’s call, they rushed over immediately. However, in the past few days, Gwen has been preparing for her final exams, and besides waiting for police updates, they dared not speak much. This morning, finally, after her last exam, the family decided to sit down and talk after having a meal outside.

Although Julian Lowe remains detained, there is still no evidence regarding Ruby Sullivan hiring someone to harm Gwen. Previously, The Sterling Group suddenly withdrew a major project with the Yates Family, causing dissatisfaction towards Ethan Sterling. This time, even if they couldn’t defame Ruby Sullivan, they couldn’t just swallow the injustice silently.

At this moment, Mr. Yates and her cousin, Ryan Vaughn, who teaches at the university, sat in the living room while Mrs. Yates pulled her into the bedroom to talk.

"Wen Wen, tell mom, were you raped?" Mrs. Yates choked, clutching her daughter’s trembling hands.

"No!" Gwen replied decisively, her cold eyes showing disdain, in stark contrast to her hesitant demeanor before the police.

"You must tell mom the truth!" Mrs. Yates knew that even if something had happened, there was no evidence now. But she needed to know to seek justice for her daughter.

"Ugh, you’re annoying." Gwen snapped, shaking off her mother’s hand and rolling her eyes, "If you truly care about me, find a way to get Ruby Sullivan inside, and stop asking me about anything else!"

After speaking, she started packing her things.

Mrs. Yates panicked, "Where are you going? Didn’t the police say you should stay in Ariston during the summer to assist with the investigation?"

"I’m now a tutor for The Sterling Family. It was previously agreed I’d go live with them during the vacation, so of course, I’m packing to go there." Gwen explained, continuing to pack, contemplating her plans.

Mrs. Yates hurriedly grabbed her, "Dearest, are you crazy? That woman dared to do such a thing, and you still want to go to her house. Aren’t you afraid of getting hurt?"

"Ugh, let me go." Gwen pushed her mother aside, "The more she tries to scare me, the less I’m afraid." Actually, even if Ruby Sullivan wasn’t convicted in the end, it didn’t matter, as long as Ethan Sterling believed in it. How could he stay with such a malicious woman?

So, no matter what, she had to proceed with her plan to go to The Sterling Family!

She had a good relationship with Honey, and if Ruby Sullivan ended up inside, she could further cultivate her relationship with the two children, and it would just be a matter of time before she ended up with Ethan Sterling. She was young and had the advantage of time; she was confident.

Sitting on the bed, seeing her mother cry, Gwen, slightly irritated, but eventually softened and sat by her side, "Mom, you don’t need to worry about me. I have my plans."

"Wen Wen, the adult world is far more complicated than you think. Listen to your mother, stay home calmly before the case concludes, okay?"

Gwen frowned, "I don’t want to talk to you anymore." She then resumed packing.

Elsewhere, Ruby Sullivan was, as usual, busy at the studio. The progress of the new perfume development was swift; she’d soon need a sales director to help her expand territories. Undoubtedly, she entrusted Ethan Sterling with scouting for talent without hesitation.

After returning from the police station, Ethan Sterling had to leave for a business trip due to urgent matters and was expected back over the weekend. As for the troublesome case, it was entirely handed over to the lawyer, and since the police hadn’t found new evidence, they hadn’t bothered her further.

If it weren’t for Mama Bennett’s call, she’d almost forgotten that today was the day Gwen Yates was supposed to attend her tutoring at The Sterling Family’s residence.

Hearing Gwen nonchalantly showing up at her place, Ruby couldn’t help but chuckle; this girl was indeed something.

"Hmm, we had originally agreed to discuss this after her finals, but..." Mama Bennett wasn’t aware of Gwen’s false allegations, "Forget it; don’t worry about her. I’ll handle it when I get home."

After hanging up, Ruby removed her rubber gloves, "Claire, Tina, I have some business at home today, so I’ll head back a bit early. You guys can leave on time, just remember to lock the door when you leave."

"Got it." Claire responded.

"Don’t worry, boss." Tina added.

Ruby trusted these two girls very much; thus, there was no clocking system at the studio. Even with such situations, she didn’t worry about them leaving early or slacking off.

Driving all the way home, Mama Bennett mumbled quietly at the door, "She’s in Honey’s room teaching; Honey was thrilled to see her. Do you think she’ll ask to stay over again?"

"Probably not," Ruby thought about her daughter’s previous stubbornness, feeling unsure, but this time, she was determined not to let her daughter act capriciously.
