Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 60

Vance shook his head, "I thought about that at the time and tested it, but Evan didn't agree.

Moreover, Ms. Turner, Evan is in Avalonia. He won't return to the country. Even if the trial starts and he agrees to testify, he won't be able to come back. He definitely wouldn't want to come back to testify, considering he is one of the accomplices who harmed the child in your womb. Even if you promise not to pursue him, he might not believe it.

Evan is somewhat smart; he won't easily put himself in a difficult situation.

I just told you, he's not completely evil, so in the end, he subtly agreed not to tell anyone about my meeting with him.

Although this might not be very significant, if it can delay Lawrence's actions, it will be beneficial to us."

Vance had analyzed everything so thoroughly for me that, even though I was still unwilling, I knew it was wise to temporarily give up.

Moreover, Vance was right. Even if Evan returned to testify, without evidence, it would all be in vain. We would still need to find other evidence, which might take more time.

It's better to give up this lead directly.

Seeing my silent and disappointed look, Vance continued, "Ms. Turner, since we've given up this lead, I think the more crucial thing now is to focus on Lawrence himself. We haven't been able to get any useful information from him recently, which is not a good sign. I have reason to suspect that he already knows we are investigating him."

His suspicion coincided with my thoughts.

I nodded in agreement, "For someone as smart and goal-oriented as Lawrence, it's not surprising that he found out at this point. Now, we are both engaged in a back-and-forth struggle, but neither side has revealed their cards, so we are actually testing each other bit by bit."

Vance, however, was a bit worried, "But this way, you are very unsafe."

I just smiled, "Since my child died, I almost died, and he drugged me, haven't I already been in danger?"

So, I am fearless.

"Ms. Turner, your mindset has changed a lot. When I first met you, you weren't in such a good state!" Vance couldn't help but look at me more, feeling emotional.

Really?

Maybe!

Perhaps it's the inevitable growth after pain.

At the same time, I have to thank someone, and that is Christopher. If he hadn't woken me up, taught me to think carefully, and protected me, I probably wouldn't be living well now.

His cold and handsome face unconsciously flashed in my mind, and I seemed to be less afraid of him.

"With your help, isn't this version of me better!" I replied with a smile.

Vance seemed to be infected by my smile and also smiled slightly, "I do charge a fee! But now that we know each other as friends, if you need my help, just ask."

I paused and then replied, "I do need help!"

"And not just one thing!"

I added specifically.

Vance raised an eyebrow, signaling me to continue.

I didn't hold back and said, "Last time, we found out that there were psychotropic drugs in the supplements. Since Lawrence is preparing for this, I think he should have already contacted someone to send me to a mental hospital. You should investigate this direction and see if he has recently contacted any relevant officials.

If you find anything, it would be best to record it. It might serve as evidence of him trying to turn a normal wife into a mental patient."

Vance nodded and gave me an approving look.

It seemed my suggested lead was good.

"Then, I need you to find a few smart and strong people for me, both men and women. The important thing is to ensure my safety. As for the price, I trust you. Once you find them, just let me know the cost.

Also, I need a few phones with unregistered numbers. The cost can be settled together."

My eyes were clear, and my attitude was firm.

It was evident that this was a well-thought-out plan.

Vance straightened up and said, "I can arrange bodyguards to protect your personal safety, which I understand. But unregistered phone numbers make me wonder, what exactly do you plan to do?"

I met his gaze but didn't explain much, just giving a meaningful look.

He was indeed a sharp person and seemed to guess what I might be planning.

"Ms. Turner, there are many other ways. Doing this is too risky and might push you into an irreparable situation. I suggest you reconsider carefully before making a decision."

Vance was a good person. He could have just done his job without caring about my actions, but he still spoke up, not fearing that I might find him nosy.

I was grateful to Vance, but I had endured too long. If I didn't do something, I might really go crazy.

"Mr. Bailey, thank you for your kind reminder, but I have already decided. They say women become stronger after having children. For the sake of my child, I have to do something. Clara has the Simpson family behind her, and I might not be able to shake her for now, but Lawrence, I can't let him go. Especially since this bad man is the father of my child, he must pay the price!"

My eyes flashed with hatred, and my expression was resolute.

Vance frowned at me, "Does anyone else know about this? You won't do it alone, will you? Have you thought about how worried and guilty Ms. Ellis would be if she found out, and what if..."

"I won't deliberately tell Paula, but I won't hide it from her either. She will know some things eventually. After all, we sought help from her ex-boyfriend for this trip to Eagle's Nest Chalet. It will get to her ears, but not now. I still need some time and preparation."

Vance was still worried, "It's too risky. The people you bring can't follow you closely without alerting Lawrence, which increases your danger. The houses are all separate, and if danger comes, the rescuers might not reach you in time."

I wasn't afraid, "Since I'm going, I'll be fully prepared. I know the basic situation there, and safety depends on the environment. Besides, with a professional like you, Mr. Bailey, I'm sure you've handled similar or even more difficult tasks before. This small problem should be solvable with your skills. Mr. Bailey, I'm counting on you!"

Vance was amused by my gesture of clasping my hands, "Ms. Turner, I feel like I'm being put on the spot. If I don't arrange this well and something happens to you, Ms. Ellis will definitely come after me for today's 'help.' Such a difficult task deserves extra pay!"

I knew he was joking, but he indirectly agreed to my request.

I felt relieved. With his help, the chances of success increased.

So, I had the leisure to ask about Lawrence's mother, Missy.
