When the interrogator arrived, Ashley had already peed in her pants.
Seeing this, the interrogator scolded her loudly.
"What's wrong with you? Are you crazy? Why didn't you call me if you needed the washroom? How
embarrassing! “
"I...I’ve called you, but no one heard me” Ashley said in shame and anger.
"What are you crying for! Stop that and tell me everything if you want to leave this place.Or else you
can just stay here!"
The interrogator spoke to Ashley harshly.
"You had better not think that you will be lucky enough to escape this! We all know what you've done,
so you'd better start talking.Or else, we'll just send you to jail with the evidence we have now.
Ashley did not answer and she continued crying.
Seeing that she was not going to talk soon, the interrogator ignored her and left.
Sitting in the interrogation room with her pants soaked, Ashley felt utterly disgusted and uncomfortable.
Mason, who was in the room next to her, started shouting when he heard Ashley cry.
The interrogator opened his door and asked, "Are you going to pee in your pants too?"
"What?"
"The suspect who was with you peed her pants.I hope you won't be like that! What a disgusting pair"
Mason's face froze when he heard that Ashley had wet her pants.
That was so disgusting.
In the Howard family, Elizabeth had returned home and told Charles what had happened.
She even told him that they could not bail Mason out because the police had evidence of him.
Enraged with the news, Charles poured his tea on Elizabeth.
"What have you been doing? Didn't I just tell you to be careful in the afternoon? Didn't you take my
words seriously?"
With her face dripping with tea leaves, Elizabeth said, "Valerie was just too cunning.Mason never
expected this to happen!"
"He can't even handle a woman? That is such an embarrassment!"
Charles boomed and immediately took out his phone.
"Director Baker, I would like to find out about something" Charles said with a completely different
demeanor.
"Mr.Howard, I know what you're going to ask.Since we're on good terms.I'm just going to be honest
with you.The other party indeed has concrete evidence against your son, so there's nothing I can do to
help you in this"
"Is that so?"
Charles didn't expect to be rejected.
"Mr.Howard, it's better for you to contact them yourself.Or else he'll really have to go jail.I believe you
know that Michael has his way of words that could make people believe in all that he says"
"Alright then.Thank you for reminding me, Director Baker."
After hanging up, Charles looked at Elizabeth and said, "Let Mason get ready to go to jail!"
"Honey, you can't just wash your hands off this! Mason is still so young! How could he go to jail! You
have to help him!"
"Help? Are you going to pay 500 million dollars for him?"
Charles looked at Elizabeth coldly and said, "The company doesn't belong to me alone.Dad, George,
Philip, and William are watching my every step.Do you expect me to gauge out such a hefty sum?"
"Uhm..."
Elizabeth was in distress.
After all, 500 million dollars was all she had.
"Hubby, why don't you ask Ronald for help? He could probably pull some strings."
"Do you think it will work?"
Charles looked at Elizabeth sarcastically.
"It's worth a try! Please, hubby, I'm begging you! Mason is the only person closest to me! I've gone
through thick and thin and done all I could for you! It's your turn to do the same for me!"
Seeing how Elizabeth had let herself stoop so low to plead him, Charles became silent.
He then thought about everything Elizabeth had done for him in the past.
He finally sighed and said, "I won't go to Ronald for such a disgraceful thing.You can talk to him
yourself! Let's be sure about one thing, I am not going to pay for the 500 million dollars.Also, I won't let
Mason take any important roles in the company.One more thing, you'd better fire Ashley right away!"
Elizabeth could tell that Charles had allowed her to ask Ronald for help.
Elizabeth sighed in relief.
All she could do now was relied on him and hoped that he could convince Valeria to drop her charges.
Valeria didn't know that so much had happened within just one night.
When she woke up, William was still laying in her bed.
They snuggled and kissed in bed for a while until the phone rang.
Checking the phone, Valeria saw that it was Abbie.
"Valeria, my brother said that they have found evidence.Furthermore, Michael had agreed to be your
lawyer.He might contact you soon"
"Really?"
Valeria couldn't believe it.
"Why would I lie to you? My brother said that you have to give me a designer handbag if you earn a lot
from this lawsuit!"
"No problem!"
Valeria's face was full of disbelief when she hung up the phone.
"Richard has found evidence, and he had even asked Michael Davis to be my lawyer.Do you know who
he is?”
"No, I don't"
William shook his head and said.
"He is the dark knight of Wolf Group.I've heard that he has a good relationship with their
president.Besides, he has never lost a single lawsuit.So I think I will definitely win this."
"Congratulations!"
Seeing how happy Valeria was, William couldn't help but feel happy too.
"I really have to thank Abbie for this.She really is a good friend.And her brother, of course, I admire him
so much!"
William narrowed his eyes when he heard that she "admired" Richard.
Of course he wouldn't be happy hearing his woman gushing about another man.
Valeria didn't notice the change in William's mood and continued saying, "When this is over, I have to
personally thank him for his help!"
"How are you going to thank him?"
"I could treat him to a meal, or get him a gift!"
"What do men like? Do they prefer watches or bags?"
When he heard that Valeria was going to give Richard a gift, William was even more annoyed.
Truthfully, Richard had not done anything.
It was William who had helped her .Why should Richard get to enjoy her gifts?
"I don't think it's suitable to give another man gifts if you already have a boyfriend.”
"Does it matter? I'm not even doing it secretly.Aren't I telling you now?"
Valeria explained hastily when she caught a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"You can't! You've never given me a gift before and now you're giving it to another man?"
“Hey, that's not true! I bought many clothes for you, didn't I ? Besides, I am yours.You can just take
anything you like from me.” Valeria raised her head and gave him a few kisses.
"Come on, there's nothing to be jealous about.You should be more magnanimous.Besides, if it weren't
for Richard, I could have been in big trouble.You're the only one in my heart.These words made William
feel at ease.
Feeling pleased with her words, William hugged her and kissed her deeply.
Just as they were about to go further, Valeria's phone rang .
It was Michael Davis.
"Hello, this is Michael Davis.Miss.Brown, Mr.Clark has asked me to be your attorney, so we should
meet" Michael said with a strict tone.
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up, Valeria got up cheerfully.
"Hooray! Michael called me and I'm going to meet him now!"
"I'll send you there!"
After William dropped her off, William returned and called Richard.
Richard answered lazily, "Is anything the matter? Why are you calling me this early?”
"I'll make this short.Firstly, if Valeria wants to treat you to a meal, don't agree to it.Secondly, if she gives
you a gift, don't accept it."
"Oh my god, William.Do you have to be so overbearing? Why can't I have a meal with her or accept her
gifts? I have helped her too."
"Shut up! You've done nothing much! How can you take credit for it? And you had better not act up in
front of Valeria.If I hear her complimenting you again, I will kill you"
"William, I didn't know you could be so jealous! You were the one who asked me for help! If you're
going to be like this, I can't be friends with you" Ignoring Richard's whining, William hung up and went
to the hospital.
