Cassie was taken aback by her father’s outburst.She scrambled out of bed and stuttered, “I’m in—I’m currently in the hospital.Is… Is mom at the police station? Don’t worry, Dad.i’ll go and pick her up right away.”
In reality, Cassie’s concern wasn’t so much for her mother as it was for herself.She was worried Lauren would drag her into her confession.
Cassie had to stop her mother before that happened that won’t be necessary.
The police just called and said that Lauren is being detained and awaiting trial. They said that, given the severity of her crimes, she is likely to be sentenced to death.”
The news hit Cassie like a bolt out of the blue.She had received many blows today.Her head suddenly became woozy and she felt like fainting.
“Dad, please calm down.Even though my mother did something wrong, you shouldn’t abandon her.She’s your wife. You have to find a way to save her.”
Leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, Cassie begged her father pitifully.IHer mother was her source of support.She would be lost in this world without Lauren by her side.
The happenings of the past few days had made her cry several times.
Since the Quinn family went bankrupt, she had suffered a lot.
She became the mistress of an old married man, and now, she had suffered a miscarriage , Cassie didn’t know who to blame for her suffering.
At this moment, George’s voice came again from the other end of the line. He sounded as if he had aged a lot within seconds.
“By the way, why are you in the hospital?” Sheer embarrassment made Cassie hesitate.
After biting her lower lip for a long time, she held her face with one hand and replied sadly, “I had a miscarriage. It was Luke’s baby but he didn’t want it.He asked his driver to hit me.He intentionally made me miscarry the baby!”
Cassie cried and shouted to vent her anger.
George instantly had a splitting headache.
This was the last thing he wanted to hear.He knew before that his daughter was Luke’s mistress.He began to suspect her when she suddenly brought a large sum of money and moved them into a new villa.
Cassie didn’t have a job, so it was suspicious that she managed to get the money and live an extravagant life.
His suspicion had been confirmed when he overheard her talking to Luke on the phone.
The Tumer family of Seacisco was well-known in the world.
George had also heard of it.It was then he confirmed that his daughter had a sugar daddy.
However, there was nothing he could do to put an end to the relationship.He couldn’t because Cassie refused to listen to him; also, the Quinn Group indeed needed funds.
All his efforts to dissuade her from continuing her relationship with Luke failed.
He was forced to stop pestering her afterward.
“You brought this upon yourself, Cassie. You have no self-respect! I advised you not to date that man. You and your mother were colluding to do something evil after she first got out of jail.Have you seen where disobedience has landed you? You should have listened to me! You aren’t a three-year-old child who needs to be pushed around.I want you to know that you and your mother are to blame for your current situation!”
George said without mincing words.
“Dad, why are you blaming Mom and me? We are not at fault.Everything is Natalie’s fault! If it weren’t for that bitch, my mother and I won’t be in this situation. We wouldn’t have gotten bankrupt if she hadn’t betrayed us.All her atrocities are what pushed me into dating Luke in the first place,”
Cassie retorted in a low voice.
The pain all over her body was rapidly draining her strength.
George was completely disappointed with Lauren now.He didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
More so, he wouldn’t be able to help her even if he wanted to. His hands were tied.
“You know that our family no longer has power like before. There’s nothing I can do to get your mother out of prison.”
Despite her father’s logical excuse, Cassie still didn’t want to give up.She suggested, “We used to have many loyal partners, didn’t we? Last time I checked.some of them were still on good terms with you. Please ask them for help.I’m sure they will come to your aid.”
“No, they won’t help me.I have been blacklisted by all of them since our fortune went down the drain.”
George’s annoyance towards Cassie didn’t affect the fatherly love he had for her.
After sighing deeply, he asked, Which hospital Are you in?
“Til pick you up.” He rushed down to the hospital and brought Cassie back home.
George’s heart ached when he saw his daughter in this sorry state.
After helping her to her bedroom, he said, “Let bygones, be bygones.We need to start afresh.Don’t covet whatever doesn’t belong to you from now on.I’ll find a pood husband for you.But if you don’t want to get married, it’s fine.I will continue to support you for as long as you don’t spend extravagantly.”
Cassie’s eyes were void of their usual spark.
As her father spoke, she just lay on the bed without saying a word.George couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
All of a sudden, the doorbell of the front door rang.He rushed downstairs to answer it.
To his surprise, a group of uniformed police officers stood outside.
“Hello, we are here for Cassie Quinn.She’s wanted for a murder case.She has to come with us to the station,” one of them said with a deep frown.
Two days ago, in the Larson Group.
“Sebastian, have you heard the latest news about the Turner family?” Garrett asked with a knowing smile.
Without waiting for a response, he added, “Some woman got pregnant for Luke.”
“Tsk tsk tsk.Women never learn! I wonder why anyone in her right mind would dare to get pregnant for Luke.Several years ago, one of his numerous mistresses took in.It was a big scandal.
In the end, the mistress died with the baby in her womb. Their death was just too sudden and mysterious.
Other ladies should have learned a good lesson from that occurrence.
But now, another reckless mistress is pregnant!’ he thought disappointedly.
Just like before, everyone in the circle knew about Luke’s new pregnant mistress. It was big news because no woman had dared to take in for him since that ugly incident.
Sebastian had heard it too.
“She’s just another bimbo,” Sebastian said calmly.
Scanning through the file on the table, he added seriously, “I need you to investigate something urgently.A car accident occurred a few days ago.According to the police was drunk and several men lost their lives.But I don’t believe that.Something smells fishy.I think someone orchestrated the accident to murder them.I want to know the whole story.”
“Okay, always a pleasure.”
Garrett sighed and got up from the sofa.
Now that Cassie was no longer Luke’s mistress, Sebastian felt that he could deal with her anyhow he wanted.He was ready to break her finally.
It took Garrett only a few hours to find out the ins and outs of the car accident.
It turned out that the men in the car were the perverts who had gang-raped Cassie.
Lauren and Cassie had bribed an automobile technician to tamper with the car’s brakes.
As a result, they had a car accident.
“Gosh! Why does this have to do with Cassie again?”
