Chapter 76
Victoria said, "You find out about us, and it's still in the Harrington family. You'll tell on us later. How can we not do it first and let you have an affair? At that time, your marriage to Jason will be called off because you are an unruly woman, so I can marry him."
"You're dreaming! Jason, is that what you mean? You are so ruthless; I will not let you go! "
Olivia had a cold heart and cried with red eyes.
"You have ended up in this situation; it's all Winnie's fault. She knows not to tell, just let you be set up by us." Victoria added to the fire, then she ordered the three men, "Take her away, and you three take good care of, take pictures of some evidence, then let everyone see the character of Olivia."
"Let go of me, bitch couple, and you will die!" Olivia screamed, gagged.
After Olivia was taken, Victoria sent a text message to Ava.
London, at the same time, Darcy also received the message.
At that moment, a speedboat returned through the heavy rain by the sea. The tall man, dressed in a black shirt and trousers, appeared even more reserved and profound. His face was stern and exuded a chilling aura, his thin lips pressed tightly together, while the executives beside him trembled and remained silent.
"Mr. Rodriguez!" Darcy walks towards him, drenched in the heavy rain. "Have there been any injuries among the construction workers at the Bay of Sea Department?"
"One person died," Lawrence's gaze turns cold and sorrowful.
"It's all my negligence, Mr. Rodriguez." The executive was practically kneeling.
At this moment, Darcy hurriedly hands him a phone.
"By the way, Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Rodriguez called you. Because of the incident with the previous female secretary, no one dares to answer your personal calls. I've been waiting here for you. I just checked the news, and it doesn't look good. It seems that something happened to Mrs. Rodriguez..."
"What?" Lawrence snatches the phone with his large hand.
A chill runs down his thick eyebrows as he quickly opens the call log.
She actually called him twice, three hours ago!
He glanced at Bryan.
Bryan immediately goes online to check and his expression darkens.
"Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Rodriguez's company was exposed for selling fake diamonds, and they even sold a 28-carat fake diamond ring to Madam Harrington for her birthday. The Harrington family was furious, and Mrs. Rodriguez was taken away by the police this afternoon!"
"I tried calling your work phone as soon as I found out, but there was no signal on the bay," Darcy said hesitantly, suggesting, "Mr. Rodriguez, would you like to go back to Lymington?"
"Mr. Rodriguez! With such a big incident happening at the bay and the family causing a scene, it would not be appropriate for you to leave at this time," the high-level employee said anxiously.
"Bryan, call the helicopter and let's head back to Lymington!" Lawrence's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he turned and walked away.
Darcy, drenched from head to toe, didn't even give him a glance. She watched him urgently walking with his long legs, and her almond-shaped eyes darkened.
She immediately caught up with him, worriedly saying, "Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Rodriguez must be very scared. I'll go back with you."
Lawrence knew Winnie was definitely scared; she had never experienced such hardship.
Lawrence had never felt this kind of anxiety, worrying about a woman. His brow furrowed, and he immediately called Benjamin with his slender fingers, "Benjamin, Winnie has been taken to the police station. Regardless of whether she did something wrong or not, you need to bring a lawyer and get her bailed out!"
Benjamin, who had been playing cards and sleeping for two days, immediately snapped to attention. He found a lawyer and rushed to the police station.
Ten minutes later, Lawrence received a disappointing call from Benjamin.
"Mr. Rodriguez, it didn't work out. Mr. Harrington is really angry this time, and Mrs. Harrington is so upset that she's in the hospital. They've pressed charges against Winnie, and the police say she can't be bailed out. The main problem is that Mr. Harrington doesn't know Winnie is your person. You need to personally visit the Harrington family. If you intervene, this matter will be resolved easily. The Harrington family might still be angry, but they wouldn't dare to upset you."
The other end of the phone was filled with a chilling silence.
Lawrence hung up directly, giving Benjamin a shiver.
He closed his eyes and asked the driver, "How much longer?"
"Mr. Rodriguez, it will take at least another hour and a half..."
"Speed up!"
Darcy sat in a separate seat; her slender fingers clenched. He actually cared so much about Winnie.
But it didn't matter. With this much time, Winnie should already been taken to the detention center.
That was a good place, and Ava will take care of things properly.
Daniel had been waiting at the Harrington family's doorstep for a long time, but Olivia still hadn't come out.
He noticed a few servants carrying a large bag and gave them a curious look before stepping aside.
Then he called Olivia again, but couldn't get through no matter what.
He couldn't wait for Olivia indefinitely. Daniel, helpless, quickly returned and made a trip to the Davis family.
Winnie's situation was urgent. If she was taken to the detention center, she would have to face an appeal. He wanted to ask the old Mr. Davis for leniency.
However, he was directly rejected by his father in the study.
Daniel walked out in defeat, and his mother immediately pulled him into the room. She had heard everything and was very angry.
"Daniel, what's wrong with you? How could you plead with that useless woman Winnie? You are confused. Don't anger your father. Triton, your company, has already suffered damage this time. Eudora has mocked you in front of the old master several times. If you continue to associate with Winnie, especially as she is now involved in a crime, do you still want your position as the successor? Ava is no longer suitable, and Winnie is even worse! You should get along with that woman you dated last time, you know?"
Daniel listened with a tired and exhausted face. He spoke in frustration, "Mom, I found that I still love Winnie. You have always pushed me to be the successor. First it was Winnie, then Ava. I don't want to use the marriage of a woman to seize power anymore. I don't feel like a man at all!"
"What? You still love Winnie? No, it's not possible! Don't you forget that you once wanted to kill her? She hates you now, and how could she still have feelings for you? You shouldn't have let her come back to the company..." Mrs. Davis's face turned dark.
Daniel pushed his mother away and walked out quickly to his car.
Returning empty-handed, Daniel went back to the police station.
He couldn't see Winnie, so he could only ask the police to tell her that something unexpected happened with Olivia, and they couldn't get the evidence.
Winnie's face turned pale, and she slumped in the chair, her frail shoulders sagging.
How could it be? Did Olivia get into trouble? Otherwise, she would never fail to show up.
"I think you're just delaying the time! The four-hour questioning period is over. Now you'll be held in the detention center. In a few days, your case will be brought to trial!"
The police in the interrogation room pulled her up without any courtesy.
Winnie trembled suddenly, her gaze looking outside, where was Lawrence? Why hadn't he come?
Doesn't he know yet? Business trip, yes, it must be a business trip. But she made two calls, why couldn't he see them?
Last night, she sent him a video, and he almost immediately answered. His personal cellphone should be with him. What on earth happened?
Winnie felt lost and helpless.
She was quickly locked in a holding room by the police. The dim lights and extremely basic conditions made Winnie lick her dry lips. She hadn't had any water for several hours and was hungry and in pain.
She was carrying a child, and it was too cold here. Dozens of empty beds, eerie and desolate. Winnie had never experienced such torment before.
She curled up in the corner near the door, too afraid to go inside.
"Hey, are you new here?" Suddenly, two female suspects were brought in from outside.
The female officer pushed the two people inside.
Winnie looked up and noticed that the woman who asked her the question was tall and big, resembling a man. She had tattoos on her arms and reeked of alcohol.
She stared at Winnie and let out a strange smirk, slowly approaching her...
