Chapter 673

This was the first time Thalia truly steeled herself.

After all, the lesson from Stan’s family was fresh in her mind. Repeated tolerance and leniency toward people who didn’t deserve it only led to being betrayed.

Thalia thought it was better to let the law handle it. So, she chose to call the police.

In a very short time, Jeffrey was arrested.

At first, he denied everything. After all, he had gone to the summit early before dawn and wiped away all traces of his tracks. He even wore rubber gloves when he pushed Thalia to avoid leaving fingerprints.

As long as there was no evidence against him, the police could not take any action unless he confessed.

However, Jeffrey didn’t know that the summit of Sanctuary Mountain was under surveillance.

The cameras had been installed years ago after a series of accidents, including falls and suicides. Two cameras were placed on either side of the mountaintop for monitoring.

Jeffrey hadn’t accounted for this detail in his calculations.

Once this evidence was presented, his motive for attempted murder was undeniable.

When Charlie learned about the situation, he was scared out of his wits. He hurriedly left work and rushed home. He only felt relieved after confirming that his wife and daughter were safe.

Charlie didn’t expect his brother–in–law, whom Charlie had treated as one of his own, would attempt to kill his sister over such a ridiculous reason.

Charlie found it utterly deranged.

On the day Jeffrey was arrested, his wife, Kaya Ruiz, stormed into the Kelley family’s residence, furiously pointing at Thalia and berating her.

“Are you out of your mind? How could you call yourself a Ruiz? How could you send your brother to the police? I don’t care what you say. You need to withdraw the case immediately!”

There was no apology, no plea for forgiveness, or a lighter sentence. Instead, it was an arrogant and commanding tone that insisted on Thalia’s compliance.

Thalia couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.

She thought maybe she was too agreeable in the past, giving people the impression she was easy to manipulate.

Unwilling to argue with such a shrewish woman, Thalia waved her hand and ordered, “Show her out.”

“Yes.” Without a word, the house staff forcibly escorted Kaya out of the Kelley family’s estate.

Standing outside the iron gates, Kaya planted her hands on her hips and cursed for over two hours, seemingly intent on causing a scene.

She only left when she received a phone call informing her that Daisy had been taken in by the police to assist with the investigation. Panicked, Kaya immediately rushed to the station to clear things up for her daughter.

Inside the interrogation room. Daisy sat pale and trembling She said, “I didn’t know anything. I swear I didn’t know!

She had no way of knowing that her father insisted on bringing Thalia along for the hike with such an ulterior motive. If she had known Jeffrey harbored murderous intentions, she would never have dared to agree

During questioning. Daisy answered every inquiry without hesitation, desperate to distance herself from the situation.

While she was considered an accessory, her role in the crime was not substantive. After the interrogation concluded. Daisy was released.

Seeing her daughter return unharmed, Kaya finally exhaled in relief.

Daisy asked, “Mom, what should we do now?”

“That’s nothing we can do now!” Kaya said angrily, “Your aunt is heartless and only wants to destroy us! There’s no point in asking her for mercy. We’ll have to find someone else to help!”

Daisy’s eyes gleamed as an idea struck her. “Mom, I have a plan! Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Dad’s situation!”

Kaya asked, “What are you going to do?”

Daisy didn’t respond. She simply walked away.

If they wanted to save him, they needed a powerful ally.

Daisy’s destination was the Royal Tower.

Before leaving, she carefully prepared herself. She wore a tight–fitting dress that accentuated her curves, styled her hair into an elegant updo, and secured it with a pearl clasp.

While her appearance was undeniably beautiful, there was an unsettling sense that she was deliberately imitating Tiffany.

The receptionist stared at Daisy for a moment. She was somewhat perplexed and asked, “Who are you here to see?

“I am here to…” Daisy quickly changed her tone. “I’m here to see my brother–in–law. Oh, right, he’s your president, Mr. Hampton.”

The receptionist thought, ‘So, she’s Mrs. Hampton’s sister.’

The receptionist thought Daisy was Tiffany’s family. She guessed Daisy might have shown up because of all the online rumors and decided to come to the office to address them.

The receptionist hesitated for a moment and was about to call for confirmation, but Daisy’s smooth and persistent chatter persuaded her to allow entry.

Once inside the elevator, Daisy watched the floor numbers climb higher and higher. She was nervous and excited. Quickly pulling out a compact mirror to check her makeup, she saw everything was flawless, boosting her confidence.

Her appearance today had been styled specifically to resemble Tiffany.

If that was Richard’s preference, she was confident her beauty could rival anyone’s.

Daisy thought if she managed to win Richard over, it would be Tiffany’s downfall. She’d be nothing more than a defeated rival.

Soon, the elevator arrived at its destination.

Chin held high, Daisy stepped out, brimming with confidence.

Coincidentally, at that very poment, the door to the executive office opened. Tyrone followed closely behind Richard, rattling off the schedule for the next few days:

Tyrone said, “Mr. Hampton, tomorrow evening there’s an auction gala. Will you…”

Richard replied, “Reject it.”

“Mr. Hampton, there are… Before Tyrone could finish, he noticed a shift in Richard’s aura, an unmistakable chill had settled over him.

Looking up in confusion, Tyrone saw a woman standing a few feet away, striking a pose in an exaggerated attempt to be alluring.

Tyrone was internally panicking. ‘Who on earth let her in?‘

Richard’s expression remained cold, his sharp features calm and unreadable.

Sensing his gaze, Daisy felt her checks flush as her heart raced wildly. “Mr. Hampton

Her voice was soft and seductive, dripping with charm.

Richard didn’t even pause, continuing his steady stride forward.

Daisy assumed he was heading toward her, which made her even more nervous and excited.

But before that budding excitement could fully blossom, Richard’s cold voice echoed down the empty corridor. “Throw her

-out.”

His voice was filled with authority, leaving no room for negotiation.

Tyrone immediately straightened and nodded. “Yes!”

With the press of a button, security guards from downstairs rushed to the scene.

Before stepping into the executive meeting room, Richard added, “And replace the receptionist.”

“Understood!” Tyrone responded without hesitation.

Moments later, Daisy was unceremoniously thrown out by the security team.

Her cries and protests fell on deaf ears. No one cared about maintaining the dignity of an intruder.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the receptionist was enthusiastically chatting in the company’s group chat.

When Daisy had arrived earlier, the receptionist had secretly snapped a photo and shared it with the chat group, writing sarcastically: [Mr. Hampton really has a type. Look, a woman claimed to be his sister–in–law.]
