Chapter 4689

Author: Lord Leaf
Elaine hurriedly said, “I did not even ask for a single penny! I was just helping a friend out...”

Elaine actually felt very guilty when she said this.

This was because she knew very well in her heart that the reason why she had agreed to help Clarissa with the suitcase was simply because Clarissa had said that she would give her a Lexus LM300 and would also take her around Hong Kong for a few days.

However, Elaine felt that all these things were simply verbal promises. After all, she had not received a penny from the woman, so the police couldn't possibly find any evidence.

The female police officer then glanced at Elaine with a slightly compassionate look. After that, she then took Elaine to their police station which was next to the airport terminal together with her colleagues.

Elaine cried and wailed all the way because of her broken rib as she hoped to be able to receive treatment first, but the female police officer said, “It’s just a broken rib, so there’s no need for you

    When the female police officer saw that Elaine wanted to contact her family, she nodded. “Okay, you have the right to contact your family and have your family arrange a criminal lawyer for you.”After that, she took out Elaine’s cell phone, handed it to Elaine, and said, “Remember, you can only call your family or your lawyer. If you call your accomplice to inform them about this matter, it will only make you guiltier!”Elaine cried and said, “Don’t you understand what I just said?! I already told you that I was wronged and I’m being set up by others. Where am I going to find any accomplices?!”The female police officer said indifferently, “It’s not up to you nor is it up to me to have the final say on whether you were wronged or not, or whether you were being set up or not. When the trial begins, everything will be subjected to the judge’s verdict.”Elaine glanced at the female police officer angrily and then immediately picked up her cell phone and called Claire. When Claire an

    Charlie spoke up and said, “Mom, you don’t need to worry, and you don’t have to be afraid. We will certainly be able to successfully resolve this matter. It might be a little troublesome, but you will have to suffer a little grievance during this period of time.”Elaine cried and asked, “You have to save me, my dear son-in-law! I’m so scared! If this matter does not go well, I’ll be imprisoned for life... I’m someone who has been in a detention center before, and it’s too scary there...”Charlie said seriously, “Don’t worry, Mom. I promise that you will not be sentenced to life imprisonment. This matter will be resolved before Claire graduates, and you will definitely be able to return to Oskia with us then.”Elaine hurriedly asked, “My dear son-in-law, do you mean what you’ve just said? It’s just over half a month before Claire graduates and you return to Oskia...”Charlie hummed and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely keep my word!”When Elaine heard Charlie’s firm and determi

    For Charlie, it was not difficult to solve this matter, but it was by no means easy for him to resolve this matter satisfactorily. The crime that Elaine was now suspected of was a felony among felonies in any country or region in this world.Moreover, because the amount of contraband that she was carrying was so large, this was a death sentence in many countries. If he could catch all the people behind this crime, Elaine could then be truly and legitimately cleared of all suspicion. Otherwise, he could only use special means to get her out of prison.But in that case, Elaine would have an international criminal record, and that would be a real problem in the future. In order to deal with a gang of criminals who specialized in harming their compatriots, some extraordinary means would have to be used. If Claire were to follow Charlie, his hands would not only be tied, but he would also have to devote extra energy to take care of her and protect her. So, for Charlie, the best so

    Charlie said politely, “Lord Fox, I’ve encountered a problem that I need your help with.”Jordan hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, please speak up! I will definitely do anything as long as I’m able to do it!”Charlie said briefly, “My mother-in-law was used by a group of people. She was caught carrying contraband unknowingly at customs at JFK New York Airport, and she has been arrested by the police over there. I need you to help me find the best criminal lawyer in New York and have him rush over there within an hour to find out what’s going on.”When Jordan heard this, he was stunned. He really could not imagine who it was that would provoke Charlie without any fear of death.However, he quickly regained his senses and said very seriously, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll have the best law firm send their best criminal lawyer over there!” Charlie had a somewhat grim expression as he said, “There is one more thing. My mother-in-law said that the police officer broke one of her ribs. I think

    Charlie found an open place to stop the car, and after sending the location to Jordan, he then continued to comfort Claire.By the time Claire’s mood had finally stabilized, the helicopter arranged by Jordan also arrived.The person who had come was Jordan’s butler. After the helicopter stopped, he opened the hatch and got out of the helicopter as he said respectfully to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, our master has given instruction for the helicopter to take you and your wife back to Providence, and I will drive your car for you. Do you want your car to be driven to New York or Providence?”Charlie thought about leaving the car to Claire in case she still needed something. So, he said to Jordan’s butler, “Help me bring my suitcase to the helicopter first, then help me drive the car to the Hilton hotel in Providence. Just leave the car key at the front desk.”“Okay!” The butler nodded and quickly took out the suitcase from Charlie’s car trunk with one of his own subordinates and sent it to

    So, they only left two Oskian police officers in the interrogation room to take down Elaine’s statement, whereas the others ordered a bunch of coffee, fries, fried chicken, and pizza, and they ate supper in the lobby of the police station. Everyone was very happy at the moment because they had successfully cracked a very significant case of contraband smuggling, and the case involved the latest kind of synthetic contraband which was worth over ten million US dollars. They reported the case to the New York Police Department as soon as possible, and the police commissioner called them personally to congratulate them. He even said that they should hurry up and get Elaine’s statement, and then report the matter to the media and let the media come over to interview them and come up with a proper report. This was a good opportunity for the police officers of the airport police station to show themselves. So, everyone was very excited at the moment. Even if some people had already rea

    The division chief looked out the door at this time. When he saw the Maybach parked at the door, he stood up straight immediately, and as he straightened out his clothes, he smiled and said, “Could it be that the leaders from the city police department are here? Or could it be that the councilman is here? Guys, straighten out your clothes. Perhaps the media will be here soon as soon as the big shot comes!”Everyone immediately became excited. One of them hurriedly said, “Quick! Hurry up and clean up the pizza, fried chicken, and nuggets on the table. Don’t let the media take a picture of that!” The people inside got excited and busy. Meanwhile, the person in the passenger seat of the Maybach got down. It was a young man in a suit. After getting out of the car, he hurriedly walked to the back and opened the rear car door. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man with white hair, an upright figure, and a grim expression came out of the car.When everyone in the police station saw h

    Jakel and his assistant then walked to the interrogation room.As soon as the police officer pushed the door open, Jakel immediately said to the two police officers in charge of the interrogation, “Guys, the interrogation is over now. From now on, I want to communicate with my client in private. Please leave.”The two police officers in charge of the interrogation recognized Jakel immediately. They were too shocked to speak, but their colleague, who had just opened the door, quickly said, “Come out quickly and let Mr. White speak to his client in private.”Only then did the two men nod hastily and then rush to pick up the transcript and run out the door. Jakel said to the police officer next to him, “My client doesn’t understand American law, and she has a language barrier. She hasn’t met with her lawyer yet, so if there are any threatening or inducing elements in your transcript, you’d better invalidate it. Don’t let me catch anything, otherwise, I will definitely challenge it in

    Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

    As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

    Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

    Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

    Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

    As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

    The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

    On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…

    Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
