Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 816: Lucy Foster Imprisoned, Vernon Quinn Arrested, Heavenly Rule Group Changes Hands...
She looked at her mother and said truthfully, "Mommy, if I call the police, that woman will kill you!"
"I’d rather die than have you commit a crime!" Mrs. Foster said decisively.
She beat her own leg, speaking regretfully, "It’s all my fault. I dragged you into this mess!"
Tears immediately filled Lucy Foster’s eyes.
She grabbed her mother’s hand, which was beating her leg constantly, "Mommy, don’t say that. If anyone dragged anyone down, it’s me dragging you. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had such a hard time all these years."
After she finished speaking, Lucy Foster continued, "Mommy, don’t worry too much. Aren’t we both doing fine right now? I have money now. As long as we leave River City, we can start over."
Lucy Foster indeed had money.
In addition to the fifty thousand she got from the Skull Woman, plus what Malcom Moore previously gave her and her own savings from these years, Lucy Foster had about more than one hundred thousand in her hands.
And that was enough for her and her mother to leave River City and start a new life in a new city.
Moreover, her design talent was still there. Once she arrived in the new city, she would find a new job... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Lucy Foster shared her plan with her mother, then looked at her mother and said, "Mommy, forget about the things at home. I’ll entrust an agency to sell the house..."
"No, Lucy." Mrs. Foster interrupted Lucy Foster seriously, "Lucy, that item is especially important to Mommy. It’s more important than Mommy’s life. I must go back and get it!"
Lucy Foster had no choice but to agree. "Alright, Mommy. Tell me what it is and where it is. I’ll go get it for you, okay?"
Mrs. Foster did not hide anything from Lucy Foster and immediately said, "Lucy, it’s a Jade Pendant your grandma left me, in Mommy’s bedroom..."
Lucy Foster nodded, "Mommy, I understand."
Having said that, Lucy Foster looked at Mrs. Foster and instructed, "I will definitely bring the item. Don’t go anywhere, wait for me at the airport."
...
So, Lucy Foster let her mother wait for her at the airport, while she took a taxi leaving the airport to get the Jade Pendant that was so important to her mother.
Meanwhile, Vernon Quinn had started investigating Serena Sterling’s incident once he returned to the company.
Vernon Quinn inquired everyone in the design department, but they all said they didn’t know anything, and judging by their expressions, they didn’t seem to be lying.
Getting nowhere, Vernon Quinn promptly ordered someone to review the surveillance.
Vernon Quinn believed that if someone did it, there would be traces left behind.
As the surveillance played back, Vernon Quinn saw Lucy Foster chatting with Serena Sterling and personally delivering tea to Serena Sterling’s office.
Upon seeing this and realizing Lucy Foster wasn’t currently in the company, Vernon Quinn had a rough idea, and now all he needed was confirmation.
Without hesitation, Vernon Quinn took out his phone and contacted Lucy Foster.
But despite calling, no one answered.
At that moment, Lucy Foster was on her way back home.
Upon hearing the phone ring and seeing that it was Vernon Quinn calling, Lucy Foster’s expression immediately changed.
She didn’t dare answer it and looked at the taxi driver, urging, "Sir, please hurry up!"
While urging the driver, Lucy Foster forcibly turned off the phone.
So when Vernon Quinn tried calling again, the call could no longer go through.
Vernon Quinn’s eyes were cold, he immediately looked at the security personnel beside him and ordered coldly, "Go to HR, retrieve Lucy Foster’s information, go to her home, and bring her here!"
The security personnel received the order and went immediately.
According to the address provided by HR, it didn’t take long for the security personnel to find Lucy Foster’s home.
As the security arrived, Lucy Foster had just come out after getting the item.
The security personnel immediately seized Lucy Foster and brought her back to the company...
CEO’s office.
Vernon Quinn’s sharp gaze focused on Lucy Foster, who had been brought back by the security, and he spoke coldly, "Lucy Foster, tell me, what did you do?!"
Lucy Foster: "..."
So Manager Quinn didn’t have any evidence, just suspicion?
But which matter is he suspecting?
Serena Sterling’s?
Or the hidden camera in his office?
"Manager Quinn, what do you want me to say? I’m not sure I understand," Lucy Foster tried to remain calm and spoke with confusion.
"Hmph!" Vernon Quinn snorted coldly, "Lucy Foster, was it you who handled Serena Sterling’s matter?"
"Manager Quinn, what happened to Designer Sterling?" Lucy Foster asked with concern, proceeding to say, "When I saw Designer Sterling this morning, she seemed quite alright, how could..."
Vernon Quinn didn’t want to listen to her nonsense.
His icy eyes locked onto Lucy Foster, interrupting her, "Why did you turn off your phone?"
Lucy Foster: "..."
What to do?
She hadn’t expected to be caught. In her panic, she turned off her phone.
What should she say now?
No battery?
"Turn your phone on!" As if seeing through Lucy Foster’s thoughts, Vernon Quinn commanded coldly.
Lucy Foster had no choice but to turn her phone on.
Vernon Quinn watched coldly, then continued to ask, "Lucy Foster, you’ve always had issues with Serena Sterling. Why did you make her tea this morning?"
Lucy Foster: "I..."
Vernon Quinn’s eyes were piercingly cold as he sternly asked, "Speak! What did you add to the tea?"
Lucy Foster’s face turned pale, retreating anxiously, "I didn’t..."
Just then, her mother’s call came through.
Seeing the call from her mother, Lucy Foster’s face became even paler.
Vernon Quinn’s sharp eyes fell on Lucy Foster’s phone, commanding harshly, "Answer, on speaker!"
Lucy Foster trembled as she answered and pressed the speaker button.
As soon as the call connected, her mother’s anxious voice burst through, "Lucy, why did your phone turn off? Did you get the item? We need to catch the flight!"
In an instant, Lucy Foster’s heart sunk to rock bottom.
It was over, completely over.
Indeed it was over; her mother’s call exposed Lucy Foster.
With Vernon Quinn’s intelligence, after hearing those words, he didn’t need Lucy Foster to say more, he knew she intended to escape with her mother.
"Ma’am, you’d better come back, Lucy probably won’t be leaving," Vernon Quinn spoke coldly.
Having said that, he looked at the security personnel beside him, giving a cold command, "Take her to the police station!"
So Lucy Foster was taken to the police station to be investigated by the police.
And the day after dealing with Lucy Foster’s matter, Heavenly Rule Group underwent a tremendous upheaval.
At that time, the headquarters in Y Country received confidential information: Vernon Quinn abused his power, transferring Heavenly Rule Group’s agency rights in River City to a mysterious businessman in Italy without authorization.
