Leonard’s expression suddenly changed. Meanwhile, the expressions of the bodyguards and assistants following him also changed.
The leader of the police found a bag of illegal drugs in Leonard’s pocket. So he waved his hand with a stern expression and said, “Bring him away!”
When the bodyguards saw that the police wanted to bring Leonard away, they immediately went forward to stop them. In the end, the police arrested all of them for getting in the way of a police official investigation.
After Leonard was taken to the police station, the police asked him to explain the origins of illegal drugs. However, how could Leonard know where the illegal drugs came from?
From the moment he got on the plane to the moment he left, he had been escorted by bodyguards all the way. Thus, no one else could get close to him. Hence, how did the illegal drugs suddenly appear?
Right now, Leonard couldn’t figure out where the illegal drugs had come from. He only knew that someone had targeted him, and he had ended up in such a terrible loss.
After all, he had only informed the Floyd family in a flashy way that he had returned, so no one else knew that he was back. Therefore, was the Floyd family the one who had planned to get rid of him this way?
The Floyd family had just returned to the country, so they were definitely not so powerful yet. Moreover, he knew the Floyd family well. Frandrey would not resort to such means at all.
Who was the one behind this then?
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Leonard’s face. Could it be William?
Well, things would make sense if William was the one that was trying to get rid of him.
Hah! He had underestimated William too much because he thought that the latter was lucky and had built up a fake reputation. However, it appeared that this wasn’t the case.
In fact, William was probably more powerful than he had even thought, so he was sending Leonard a warning.
How interesting!
On the other hand, in the Howard family’s old house, Valeria was taking a shower, so William leaned against the bed to answer the phone. Meanwhile, Bobby said with a smile, “Well, we successfully caught them all! When I was in the call, I saw how furious Leonard’s expression was!”
“Well done,” William praised.
“Mr. Howard, how long do you want Mr. Howard to stay in there? Fot twenty-four hours?” Bobby asked again.
“Let him stay there until noon tomorrow. You can let him out in noon, and get the Wolf Group to prepare for him. After all, we need to get ready to earn a big sum of money, and make sure they charge him fives times the price for the presidential suite.”
“Erm… will he really go to Wolf Group? Didn’t he already book rooms in Joyous Hotel?”
“Leonard only did that so that the Floyd family would panic, and he never thought about actually staying in Joyous Hotel. I’m sure that Leonard has been making a lot of money recently, so let him spend some of his cash on Wolf Group. Oh, right. Make sure to charge him five times the price for all the necessities that he wants.”
After hanging up the phone, Valeria came out of the bathroom and asked, “Who are you scheming against?”
“Well, who could I be scheming against? I’m only asking them to get ready to make a lot of money.” After saying that, William grabbed Valeria and kissed her. However, she raised her hands to block him and said, “I need to see Cade and Santhos.”
“Nah, the babysitter is watching them over there, so you don’t have to go.”
“I’m still worried, but I’ll be back after taking a glance at them.”
“No! You’re not allowed to go! Every time, you would say that you only want to glance at them, but you’re actually lying! I’ve already been ‘starving’ for a long time. Honey, you can’t be so biased to abandon your husband for the sake of both of them.”
“Huh? You’re even jealous of your sons?”
“Those who are trying to snatch my wife from me are all my enemies,” William said as he reached out to hug Valeria. “You’re not allowed to go anywhere tonight! Stay here with me and let me dote on you!”
“Alas! You’re really so! Urgh!” Valeria looked at him helplessly and allowed William’s slender fingers to remove the belt of her pajamas.
After driving for a day and a night, the bodyguards arranged by Jacqueline and Evelyn finally arrived at the countryside farm where Jacelyn lived.
It was already lunchtime, so there was smoke coming out of the chimneys of all the houses. The car arrived at a brick house after following a muddy path. Then, Jacqueline got off the car while holding some bags in her hands.
Meanwhile, Jacelyn, who was reading a book in a wheelchair in the living room, looked up when she heard the noise. She was stunned when she saw Jacqueline, and she asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to see you, of course! Jacelyn, my dear sister, how have you been?”
“Well, I’m exactly like you’ve seen. What do you think?” Jacelyn replied faintly.
“I bought you some food and cosmetics.” Jacqueline put the bags in her hand on the table next to Jacelyn.
However, Jacelyn did not look at the gifts. She looked straight at Jacqueline and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Erm… I came to see you?” Jacqueline smiled awkwardly while replying.
However, Jacelyn immediately called her out by saying, “Alright, I know that you’re not this kind-hearted. Tell me why you’re here this time.”
“Well… I really came to see you. I know that you haven’t been living well, so I brought you some money. Here, I brought you 10, 000 dollars. I’m sure that this is enough for you to survive for a while, right?”
While saying this, Jacquline took out ten thousand dollars from her bag and handed it to Jacelyn. After that, Jacelyn took the money and put it on the table before asking, “What’s next? Are you here for anything else? You can’t have come so far just to give me money, right? Heh! That will only happen when pigs fly!”
“I came to you for something else!” Jacqueline’s eyes fell on Jacelyn’s neck as she said this. When she saw the pendant hanging on her neck, her eyes flickered. Meanwhile, Jacelyn subconsciously pulled the hem of her clothes as she felt Jacqueline’s gaze too. Well, Jacqueline didn’t bother hiding her intentions any longer. After all, this house in the countryside was broken and old, so she didn’t want to stay here any longer. Hence, she asked directly, “Jacelyn, this pendant on your neck is very beautiful. Can you give it to me?”
“No!”
“I’ll give you money for it. In fact, I’ll give you ten thousand dollars, so can you sell the pendant to me?”
“I won’t sell it even if you give me a hundred thousand dollars, let alone ten thousand!”
“You’re a paralyzed person, so why do you still want to wear the pendant? You can even get money if you sell it to me. After all, we’re siblings, so you can sell it to me if I give you a little more money, right?”
“Okay, you can go now!” Jacelyn’s face darkened as she ordered.
“Huh? Do you want to force me? I’m talking to you nicely now, but you’re not listening to me. So, don’t blame me for this!”
After saying this, Jacqueline stopped pretending and went straight to grab the pendant from Jacelyn’s neck. Of course, Jacelyn would not give it to her so easily. Thus, the two of them began to fight in the kitchen.
Although Jacelyn was sitting in a wheelchair, she was very strong. Hence, Jacqueline kept failing to steal the pendant. While they were fighting, Jacelyn’s wheelchair had fallen over, so both she and Jacqueline fell onto the floor. One of Jacqueline’s legs had been squashed by the wheelchair, so she screamed shrilly by saying, “Hey! Someone help me!”
Upon hearing her cry, the bodyguard rushed in immediately and helped Jacqueline take the pendant from Jacelyn’s neck. After that, Jacqueline took the pendant and hung it around her neck. She spat at Jacelyn and said, “Bah! You really don’t know how to appreciate it when people are still talking to you nicely! Since you didn’t appreciate my sincerity, I won’t give you the money. Let’s go.”
After that, she took the ten thousand dollars from the table and left with Evelyn’s bodyguards.
On the other hand, Jacelyn sat on the ground with her hands clenched in fists as she watched Song Yu and the bodyguards leave. The bodyguards were Evelyn’s subordinates. Jacelyn knew them, and so was Jacelyn already working together with Evelyn?
Wait, why would they snatch her pendant?
Were they planning to use the pendant to make a statement? Suddenly, Jacelyn’s face become serious when she thought about the person that had gifted her the pendant.
Meanwhile, the sound of the car starting gradually faded away. When Jacelyn could no longer hear any sound, she crawled up from the floor.
Then, she picked up the book on the ground and lifted the wheelchair before striding into the bedroom to change her clothes. Hah! If Jacqueline saw Jacelyn moving freely now, she would scream in fear.
