When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 477: Set Up by Thugs

Faye Turner waited for a full two minutes. He probably didn’t want to answer, but Faye Turner was sure he knew that Eliza Hayes was controlling him.

For all these years, Eliza Hayes must have said intense words to him, words of vented anger.

And since stopping the medication, his condition indeed improved.

However, Victor Peterson remained guarded against Faye Turner.

If he wasn’t even willing to answer this question, it proved he didn’t want to bring up the unresolved grudges with Eliza Hayes.

Then, regarding Caleb Lancaster’s whereabouts, how would this man be willing to confess?

He also didn’t want to go to jail.

Moreover, having not spoken for so many years, his ability to express himself must be compromised, thus, Faye Turner did not insist and was willing to wait.

"Next time, I’ll bring you some Chinese medicine. If you cooperate and drink it, I guarantee within a month, you’ll be able to stand up, independent of the wheelchair and walk by yourself." She spoke gently, giving him hope.

Truthfully, from an emotional standpoint, Faye Turner really didn’t want to save him.

But to find Mr. Lancaster, she had no choice but to tolerate it for now.

The timing wasn’t ripe; she had to first let this man see the hope of life and, at the last moment when he could stand, make a transaction with him.

That noon, Charlotte Sinclair thought the task she had assigned to those two thugs should have been completed by now.

Handling such a small matter could earn them a lot of money; no one would pass up this opportunity.

But why hadn’t they called for the balance yet?

So, the woman couldn’t wait and took the initiative to dial one of them.

It took a long time for the other party to answer. As soon as he did, an incredibly loud noise came through from the other end of the phone—

It sounded like a bar! Very chaotic!

"Hello, who is this?" The person sounded drunk, a bit excited, probably didn’t even check the caller ID.

"Where are you guys?" Charlotte Sinclair felt something was amiss and asked, "How’s the task I gave you two going?"

"Who is it? Ms. Sinclair?"

The person wasn’t completely drunk; he still had some clarity in his mind, partying outside with her money, yet turning around to criticize her—

"Ms. Sinclair, are you freaking kidding? You want us to mess with Mrs. Lancaster??"

"What do you mean? You didn’t take action?" Charlotte Sinclair’s heart tightened, her brows furrowing.

"Only a fool would take action! Tired of living?!" Due to the bar’s noise, the other party raised his voice—

"Even if you give more money, no one dares to mess with someone of that caliber, right? I’m afraid of earning this money but having no life to spend it!"

These words infuriated Charlotte Sinclair greatly, "What about the 500,000?!"

"What 500,000?" The other party didn’t acknowledge the debt and even taunted her, "I’m telling you, stop calling us with harassment, if you’re bold enough, just report us to the police!"

After saying that, the person arrogantly hung up the phone!

Charlotte Sinclair was so furious that steam practically burst from her ears, meaning the matter wasn’t completed, and the money was gone!

She couldn’t even call the police!! She could only swallow this dumb loss?!

She thought over and over, extremely angry but forced herself to calm down.

For her daughter’s happiness, she could only contact Eliza Hayes, thinking she despised this daughter-in-law and wondered if they could come up with a plan together.

The matter with the two children had dragged on for so many years already, it couldn’t be delayed any longer, if delayed further, Faye Turner’s child would be born!

In the old house, upon receiving Charlotte Sinclair’s call, Eliza Hayes initially didn’t want to come out, but then reconsidered and agreed to meet her.

Since last night when Adrian and Faye Turner returned home, Eliza Hayes had personally made dumplings, and since this attempted reconciliation, the grandfather stopped interfering with her.

Because the old man had a feeling, Eliza Vance wouldn’t do the absurdly heinous things she did before anymore.

She had completely come to her senses.

Therefore, when Eliza Hayes left the house, the grandfather didn’t stop her.

In a serene, courtyard café, Eliza Hayes and Charlotte Sinclair met half an hour later.

The waiter served two caramel lattes, "Enjoy," and then turned to leave.
