Fortunately, the man did pick up the call, and his tone sounded fine.
Wendy then inhaled deeply before saying, "Mr.Janaway, I can't contact my mother.You're in Horington,
right? Could you help me look for her?"
"Do you mean Mrs.Greene..."
Although Eskild Janaway no longer worked for the Greenes and had a small business of his own, he
still paid attention to the Greene family's matters.
Furthermore, the news of Cecilia being a drug addict and working at a karaoke bar was all over the
internet.
Even if he did not pay attention to the Greenes anymore, he would still learn about it.
Eskild then hesitantly asked, "Ms.Greene, where are you right now? Why don't you know what
happened to Mrs.Greene?"
The bad feeling in Wendy's heart intensified as she hastily asked, "What happened to my mother?"
"Your mother, she..."
Unable to say the words out loud, Eskild steeled himself and said, "You'll know when you check it
online!"
That made Wendy's heart sink.
What happened? What could it be that even Mr.Janaway can't bring himself to say it? As she had been
on a tight budget recently, she had not used the internet for a while.
The data overseas was too expensive, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make any calls
again, so she had not kept herself up to date with the latest news.
However, upon hearing Eskild’s words, she could no longer be bothered by the costs.
Swiftly, she turned on her data roaming and keyed in the news website in Chanaea.
It was then she saw that her mother's name was trending online.
After clicking in, she saw a post with hundreds of thousands of comments.
The Wife Of The Chairman Of Greene Corporation Under Police Investigation For Drug Abuse And
Prostitution.
Wendy turned as white as a sheet, and she nearly passed out.
Although she Knew that her family dealt in drug businesses, she did not know that her mother had
gotten involved with it.
But what's with prostitution? After clicking on the post and scrolling down, Wendy found out that her
mother had become a bar girl.
Is this where the money for my phone plan is coming from? How am I going to face the rest of the
world from now on? Wendy's first thought was not her mother's safety but herself.
A beat later, she realized that her life would only become even tougher, for she no longer had a source
of money.
No, I can't let this happen! Just as Wendy was about to call Trevor, another piece of news appeared on
her phone screen.
Trevor Larson Of Larson Group Committed A Severe Offense For Offering Hundreds Of Millions Of
Bribery.
Imprisoned In Specialized Forces Prison From Today Onward...
Wendy could not even register the words after "onward."
Her body trembled, and she could not utter a single word.Her mother's reputation was ruined, and her
uncle was in prison.
She was at the end of her road.She could easily imagine how the people in her country would talk
about her behind her back.
No.That's not right.I can't even afford a ticket back home right now.I've been removed from the list of
examinees at Maxwell University, so there's no way the university will pay for my flight back.All I can do
now is stay here until I starve to death!
"No!"
Wendy roared as her eyes reddened.
Right then, the security guards opened the door.
The first to enter was the invigilator from before.
"Wendy Greene, the university has decided to make a global announcement about how you've
breached Maxwell University’s rules.We've also contacted the local police about it.Before the police
come, you have to apologize to the ones you've assaulted, Jared Jupiter and Arielle Moore."
Right as he finished his utterances, Wendy burst into a peal of maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha!"
At that, the invigilator frowned.
"Wendy Greene, don't try to play dumb now.Since you've made a mistake, you have to apologize and
accept the punishment!"
