Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 454
After Wendy came out of the corridor, all the people waiting on the bench stood up.
They immediately looked at her with an anxious expression. Gilbert was supported by his wife Ella. Donna, who was standing next to Gilbert, walked over quickly and asked in a calm voice, "Wendy, how is Charlie?"
Wendy stretched out her stiff smile, closed her eyes and said, "He's fine. Don't worry about him!"
Hearing this, Gilbert finally let out a sigh of relief.
Wendy walked to Farr, who was standing in the corner, raised her hand, and pressed her eyebrows. "Mr. Chiang, please send me back to the villa!"
After saying goodbye to Donna, she left the police station.
After all this, when she returned to the villa, the sky had already fallen. The night sky was not too clear, and the moon could not be seen, only a few stars, just like her gloomy mood at the moment. Aunt Lee took out the dinner in the pot and placed it on the dining table.
Wendy shook her head and wanted to say no, but she suddenly remembered Charlie's words, he's asking her to sleep well and eat well. It could be seen that he cared about her so much.
The restaurant was brightly lit and the air was filled with the aroma of food, but she didn't have any appetite.
It was as if her stomach was filled with stones, and she didn't know what she was eating.
But even so, she still forced herself to eat up a bowl of rice.
She went upstairs and pushed open the door of the children's room. Larry, who had just taken a shower, was lying naked in bed. He pouted like a small bulging hill with his hand fiddling with the car models, and his small face was still flushed by steam.
Wendy asked Aunt Lee to go back to the room to rest. She picked up the pajamas beside the pillow and put them on for him personally.
Larry saw her lying on the bed along with him and couldn't help but ask happily, "Wendy, do you want to sleep with me tonight again?" "Yes." Wendy nodded.
Larry's eyes were sparkling with excitement, but soon he thought that last time she said the same thing but was robbed halfway by his father when he was happily dreaming. When he woke up the next day, he was carrying a teddy bear instead of Wendy!
So, he raised his face and asked, "Where's Daddy?"
"He..." Wendy's throat choked. Looking into his big black grape-like eyes, she told a difficult lie. "He's on a business trip! So, will you accompany me tonight?"
"Okay." Larry threw himself into her arms.
Wendy reached out and embraced him. Looking at his similar silhouette to Charlie, her heart tightened more than ever.
The image of Charlie wearing that black suit but wearing cold handcuffs in the police station came to her mind, tears almost fell out of her eyes, by the action of stroking Larry's head, she tilted her head to force those water mists back.
Although Larry was small, he had a slender and sensitive heart.
It seemed that he also felt something. His little head came out of her arms and he softly asked, "Wendy, when will my Daddy come back?"
"He will come back!" Wendy endured the pain that came from the bottom of her heart. She rubbed her face against Larry's little face and repeated, "Sweetie, we'll wait for him at home. He will definitely come back!"
"Yes!" Larry replied obediently.
Although Wendy really wanted to listen to Charlie, it was still hard for her to sleep that night. She barely slept for two or three hours until it was a little dawn outside.
She tidied up the men's clothes from head to toe, including the old razor. When she put all those into the suitcase, Aunt Lee stood at the door and knocked on the open door of the bedroom. When Aunt Lee saw Wendy staring at the pile of clothes, she felt very uncomfortable inside her heart.
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she knew that something had happened to Mr. Hogg. Now the whole villa was shrouded in dark clouds. In this family, perhaps only the innocent young master didn't know the sorrow!
Aunt Lee sighed quietly and went forward to report, "Miss Lim, Mr. Chiang is here!"
Wendy raised her head and answered with a nod, "Got it. I'll go down now."
Charlie had been officially arrested. Farr was here to bring clothes to Charlie, together with the defense attorney.
"Miss Lim, this is Felix Patel!"
Farr introduced and handed her a business card. "Ogreprises Company is the legal advisor of Hogg's Group for many years. In the past, many contract disputes were won by Felix, who is a very famous lawyer in Ice City."
After Wendy heard this, hope suddenly rose in her heart. She couldn't help but squeeze the business card tightly and look at the lawyer in the suit, who looked very inconspicuous.
Mr. Patel seemed to feel the heat in Wendy's eyes. He took the initiative to speak, with a serious expression. "Mr. Hogg's current business case is very tricky! Hogg's Group and Dragon Limited are in the midst of a financing partnership that has resulted in a huge capital deficit for the other party, and Mr. Hogg is suspected of seeking illegal profits and may be charged with contract fraud! Because the amount involved is very huge, the police are afraid that Mr. Hogg will run away. This is why the bail is not allowed!"
Wendy could tell that what the lawyer said was tactful.
She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Patel, please tell me the truth!"
Felix's voice became more serious when he heard this, "Miss Lim, according to the information I have, it is not very optimistic. If there is no evidence to prove Mr. Hogg's innocence, once the charges are confirmed, he will be sentenced to jail!"
"Then..."
"If that's the case, then all we can do is to do our best to reduce his sentence!"
Wendy rolled her eyes and fell directly on the couch.
"Miss Lim, are you all right?" Farr hurried forward and asked.
"It's okay, I'm fine..." Wendy grabbed the armrest hard. Soon, a watermark character appeared on it.
In fact, she had already made preparations for the worst when she went to the police station yesterday, but when she heard the lawyer say the word "sentence", she was still shocked and felt dizzy at this moment.
Farr had been by Charlie's side for many years. At this time, he was also at a loss of what to do. He punched his palm in a hurry.
"What should I do? Although I definitely do not believe that Mr. Hogg is that kind of person, a series of cooperation cases with the Dragon Limited is signed by Mr. Hogg himself..." Farr noticed Wendy's pale lips and quickly said, "But Miss Lim, you can rest assured that I will try my best to find evidence to help Mr. Hogg to clear up the injustice!"
Wendy nodded her head powerlessly.
She supported her forehead under her palm because there was a thin layer of sweat on it.
However, she could not just sit and wait like this. At the very least, she should help him do something.
Wendy looked up and asked, "Mr. Chiang, could you book a flight for me?"
