Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 62
Vance looked at me with a face full of tension and worry, "Ms. Turner, I'm a good citizen, I can't do anything illegal. Also, even though you were deceived by that bad man Lawrence, the future is still long, you're still young, don't ruin yourself because of one bad man."
Look how scared Vance is.
I chuckled, "Misunderstanding. Don't worry, I'm also a good citizen, I won't do anything illegal. What I mean is, pretend to kidnap her and scare her a bit.
Missy only bullies people she's close to, and besides throwing tantrums, she's actually very timid when faced with someone with a strong attitude. You just need to have your people grab her and scare her, make it look real, and she'll definitely back down. Then it will be much easier to get some useful information out of her."
Vance breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Now, the place where Missy lives is sparsely populated and remote, so it will be easy to do this. I'll handle it for you."
"Good, you don't really have to kidnap her, just make sure no one can tell. She's not very smart and loves to take advantage of small gains. Have someone pretend to be Lawrence's secretary and tell her something to lure her into the car, then scare her a bit, and she'll definitely confess."
The goal is to get her to confess about Lawrence and her drugging me to harm the baby in my belly, saving the trouble of finding evidence.
After discussing things with Vance, I went home.
Lawrence seemed to be very busy these days, coming home late, so he didn't try to get close to me, which was good, saving me the trouble of dealing with him.
I asked Vance to prepare a phone for me, and he quickly delivered it. I created several accounts using a few phones, bought followers, and experienced accounts, and soon each account had nearly ten thousand followers.
But I felt it wasn't enough, so I hired a professional team to make the accounts active, increase exposure, and gain followers faster. I was willing to spend money as long as they met my requirements.
After doing all this, there were only two days left before the trip to Eagle's Nest Chalet.
During this time, there was progress on the fight with Clara from Fallon's side.
Clara's lawyer proactively proposed a settlement with me.
Logically, since I was the one who hit her, I should be the one requesting a settlement. I have to say, Fallon is impressive, and Christopher is even more impressive.
I remember that day, he said very coldly, "They wouldn't dare come to us."
Now the initiative is in our hands.
Their side's meaning is that they are willing to settle, with the only condition being that we don't trouble Clara.
It seems like a request, but I feel it's somewhat humble.
However, I can't agree to not trouble Clara, we are practically enemies now.
Paula, as one of the parties involved, was also angry when she heard Fallon's request, "Want to settle? Fuck, that bitch Clara dares to make demands, shameless, we absolutely disagree."
Paula was angry for my sake, she disagreed because of me.
Of course, I was also unwilling, I couldn't back down, at worst, I would take responsibility, even if it meant paying money, I wouldn't apologize.
"We don't agree, the rest is up to you, Ms. Knight."
Fallon didn't try to persuade us, and didn't let Paula and me worry about the follow-up.
The day before I went to Eagle's Nest Chalet, I received a reply from Fallon.
Two dollars, plus a handwritten apology letter posted on her social media.
However, with Clara's temper, even if she wrote the apology, she would do it reluctantly, and would definitely delete it immediately after posting.
She thinks that by doing this, she can avoid embarrassment and prevent others from knowing. But as long as there are screenshots, these will become evidence to nail Clara to the pillar of shame in the future.
"Ms. Turner, although the money is just a token, and she quickly deleted the handwritten letter, leaving traces of actions will make her wary of doing anything against you in the future."
Fallon specifically told me this.
I naturally understood and thanked Fallon, "This is good enough, I just wanted to win this round, thank you, you're really impressive."
Then I inquired about the price, after all, she worked hard for more than a week.
Fallon smiled, "No need for money, meeting Ms. Turner is fate, let's be friends. Besides, winning this case feels great."
"Hahaha, I'll definitely be friends with you."
A capable friend who shares my values, I'm naturally happy to befriend.
What I didn't know was that besides liking me, Fallon was also willing to help me because someone had secretly guided her.
But for her, it was all benefits, no harm!
Although Fallon didn't want my money, I thought she was doing a good deed, so I did a good deed in her name.
I donated twenty thousand dollars to an organization that provides legal aid to women, hoping to help those who suffer in marriage but can't take the first step to escape due to lack of money.
Women helping women!
Later, Fallon received a thank-you letter and even gave a legal lecture at the organization, offering free legal aid once a year, hoping to use her expertise to help women.
She later told me, "This is so meaningful, it's an honor to represent your case."
I smiled, "That's because you're great, we're all great."
We became true friends.
Soon, it was time for our trip to Eagle's Nest Chalet.
The night before, I sent a message to my lawyer, Jason.
I asked him to be ready to help me with the lawsuit, and it wouldn't be a simple divorce case, possibly several cases handled together.
However, I didn't receive a reply from him.
Maybe he was too busy, with his status and ability, he usually doesn't take small cases. If it weren't for Paula, my case probably wouldn't even be on his desk.
Now, he's probably busy with some big case.
I didn't worry much, he would handle it when he was free.
Then I got into the car Lawrence was driving to Eagle's Nest Chalet.
Eagle's Nest Chalet is not far from Starlight City, over two hundred miles, and driving takes a few hours.
In the car, it was rare for Lawrence and me to relax a bit and chat calmly.
Maybe we both had a premonition that something would happen, so we were calm before the storm.
The car's music was playing an old love song.
Familiar melodies can easily take you back to the past.
