In the hospital, Devon rushed into Natasya’s ward with a worried face. Raelyn saw him and immediately asked, “How’s everything going on?”
“The lawyer that I have arranged went to visit George in prison today. However, he told the lawyer that he doesn’t intend to appeal his case.”
Raelyn was surprised and asked, “Why? Didn’t you manage to convince him last time?”
“Yes, I did. He was very glad during the last visit and was willing to cooperate with us. However, he suddenly changed his mind a few days later. It’s too strange,” Devon frowned and questioned, “Did something happen?”
Raelyn looked puzzled, “What? You’re his brother and have nothing against him. He can always come clean to you if something bad happened to him.”
Devon sighed and said, “Can it be that he doesn’t trust the lawyer? But, I can’t pay him a visit either. It’s like giving someone a free pass to having dirt on me if I were to do so ever since the scandal.”
“Do you want me to pay him a visit instead?” Raelyn suggested.
“It’s not appropriate for you to see him as he is a criminal. There is a rule whereby a lawyer must be present during visitation hours. It’s useless for you to see him if he doubts the lawyer.”
Raelyn ran out of ideas after hearing Devon’s reply. “What shall we do then? Why are we always met with troubles nowadays?”
“I don’t know, and I’m feeling deeply unsettled right now. We have one that is disobedient and causes trouble, another one who is injured, and the third one who suddenly changes his mind and refuses to appeal. What’s going on here?” Devon was at a loss of what to do.
Raelyn thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t I ask for my dad’s help to arrange someone to have a look?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. He is pissed off after Talitha had got herself in trouble. Besides, your brother is holding a grudge against us and he’ll definitely persuade your father to be on his side.”
“I wouldn’t have offended my brother if I can turn back time. It’s all because of William! If it wasn’t for him, we would have won the battle. We are now hanging by a thread instead!” Raelyn said angrily.
“It’s useless to feel regretful now. We still have to think of a way,” Devon looked at Natasya, who was lying on the hospital bed, “How are you feeling now?”
“It still hurts!” Natasya frowned and asked, “Dad, do you have any news about William?”
“All I know is that he is still suffering from amnesia in the hospital. I don’t have time to check on him as I’m now busy with your uncle and Talitha. Furthermore, the Howard family is very uptight, so no news seems to leak out to the media.”
“Dad, find a way to get William’s phone number. I want to give him a call,” Natasya made a request.
“I don’t have any men that work with William so it’s hard to get his number, but I’ll try my best!” Devon did not dare to make a promise.
Raelyn chipped in and proposed, “Well, how about this? I’ll give a call to my dad and Raymond to ask them whether they have his number.”
“Raymond and your father probably already suspect us. You need to think of a plan instead of asking them directly,” Devon reminded her.
Raelyn knew Devon’s concern and she replied, “I know, I will find a way then.”
Gonzalec had been busy with police interrogating him ever since the murder incident that happened during his holiday at the villa.
The villa was closed from operation due to the homicide case that happened not long ago. The police had asked him to stay in Juxemburg to help out with the case. Gonzalec could only linger around the entertainment areas to wait for a chance as he had time to kill.
It was the beginning of nightlife at eight in the evening. Gonzalec, as usual, went to a bar to have a drink while enjoying the performance of a folk dance.
Suddenly, a person stood in front of him. Gonzalec looked up and saw a face of a stranger. He then frowned and said, “Who are you?”
“Why the f*ck do you care!” the stranger stared at Gonzalec and answered rudely.
“You f*cking b*stard!” The stranger punched Gonzalec’s face.
Blood gushed out from his nose. How could someone like Gonzalec be treated without any respect? He then charged towards the man and they were both caught in a fight.
Screams were heard incessantly and the police soon rushed over to bring the both of them to the police station. Gonzalec had bruises on his eyes with a face that was extremely swollen. He told the policeman that the stranger had hit him first.
The policeman unexpectedly scolded him and said, “You hit the wrong person! The person who hit you first is someone else. You made the customer that was sitting next to you suffer from a broken limb!”
“What? How is this possible?” Gonzalec was dumbfounded and continued defending himself, “I was the only one there at that time. When did the customer come in?”
“Are you saying that we are lying? We have extracted the surveillance video, and we saw you assault him deliberately. Be prepared for jail time!”
Gonzalec was held under an assault charge. When Lucian heard that Gonzalec was caught, she immediately arranged for her men to check things out. It was then reported that Gonzalec had hurt someone and was currently held by the police. The injured man hired a lawyer who wanted to sue Gonzalec. According to the lawyer, the convicted shall be sentenced between the range of three to ten years. In addition, the prison sentence would be more than ten years if the man suffered from a disability.
Gonzalec was certain to have jail time as the injured man was suffering from a broken leg.
Lucian then became anxious and arranged for her men to negotiate with the person who was injured by Gonzalec. She was ready to offer a handsome deal in private. However, the injured man decided to take things to court.
Lucian had no choice because she couldn’t afford to let the world know about her relationship with Gonzalec. Thus, she couldn’t find someone reliable for help. Besides, the injured man was from a wealthy background, so clearly he just wanted justice instead of financial compensation.
Gonzalec was then held by the police on a concrete basis. William clapped his hands and laughed when the news was delivered to him. He then stretched out his hand and patted Bobby on the shoulder, “Well done!”
Bobby replied with a sincere smile, “This matter was carried out by Silas and his men. I just gave him a tip as he was a stranger here after all. Besides, it was easy to get things done without a hassle with his identity as a foreign man.”
“Well, both you and Silas deserve to be rewarded!” William laughed and continued, “Tell Marcus to arrange a visit to meet Gonzalec and see if he has anything juicy for us!”
Valeria, who was sitting next to him, chipped in and asked, “Honey, are you going to meet with Gonzalec? I want to go too.”
“My dear, I’m heading there to talk about business. A detention center is a dangerous place so I’m worried for you. Since you’re pregnant, you shall stay in the hospital and wait for my good news.”
“Hubby, Gonzalec is Lucian’s man and is loyal to her. I’m afraid that you will be manipulated by Gonzalec if he knew that you were being drugged last time. It’s better for me to go,” Valeria said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. How can I handle serious business if I can’t even handle a punk like Gonzalec?”
William smiled and continued, “Wait for me here and I’ll bring supper for you when I come back.”
