Chapter 253
Felton tumed his head to look at Vanessa, “Did Saul say anything to you when he left?”
Vanessa’s eyes were red as she spoke. “Saul asked me to get him a lawyer”
“A lawyer?” Felton furrowed his brow, then said, “Isn’t that Sallie a lawyer? Call Sallie, now.”
It was good to have connections in the family. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I was sure to be fine.
With Sallic on the case,
Saul w
Hearing this. Vanessa’s eyes reddened even more, “Sallie’s been…”
“Where did she go?” Felton asked, puzzled.
Vanessa recounted the events, “Elaine didn’t want to worry you, so she didn’t let us tell you. Hancock got fired from the hospital, and they had to sell their mansion, and even their cars are mortgaged now
When it rains, it pours.
Felton’s face went pale in an instant.
He wasn’t sad about Elaine’s family’s sudden misfortune, and he was worried that without Sallie’s help, Saul wouldn’t make it out. “Then get Saul the best lawyer. And grease some palms if you have to. Don’t worry about the money, if we’re short, we can sell the house.”
Ther weren’t that wealthy, but they had some savings.
After all, they got five properties in one go during the last urban redevelopment.
They lived in two and rented out the other three.
Those three properties could sell for at least six or seven million.
Vanessa wiped her tears, “Okay. I’ll do it right away.” As long as Saul could come out safely, she was willing to sell not just one house, but all of them if needed.
Today was the day Carole was discharged from the hospital.
Early in the morning, her brother Nanson came bearing flowers to pick her up.
“Carole, Congrats.”
Carole smiled, taking the flowers with one hand.
Anthea, trailing behind with the luggage, was grateful it was summer, and their clothes were light, so there wasn’t much to carry.
“Uncle Nanson, looking sharp. Got a hot date?” Nanson, who rarely dressed up, was surprisingly in a bespoke suit and shiny black dress shoes today. He had a good foundation, and all dressed up, he certainly looked the part.
“What do you mean looking sharp?” Nanson took the luggage from Anthea’s hands, “I was born handsome, you know?”
Carole realized now why Anthea always admired herself in the mirror, saying Tm such–a stunnerf
It must be in the genes. They y were undoubtedly a family.
Once they got in the van, it was a short ride home.
Anthea found a vase for the bright red roses, which added a vibrant touch to the otherwise plain living room. A scent of perfume and roses filled the air.
Delightful
For lunch, Anthea ordered from a health–focused diner.
During the meal, she cautiously brought up the recent events in the Yeager family to Carole.
“Mom, Hancock got fired from the hospital for keeping a mistress, something Elaine exposed. Sallie’s been detained for perjury and might even face prison.”
Carole was taken aback
Clearly, she hadn’t expected Elaine’s family to suffer such great misfortunes in just a few days.
Just a week ago, she had seen Elaine, the high and mighty lady of the house.
“Mom, if Elaine comes to you for help, would you help her?
Carole replied, Tm no big shot, and how can I help her?”
“What if she asks you for money?” Anthea pressed on
10:10
Money talks.
Elaine had moved from a big mansion to a basement apartment, and what if she came begging to Carole?
Anthea feared Carole might go soft again.
“No,” Carole said calmly, “I have no relationship with them anymore.”
After the pain of betrayal, Carole was thoroughly disillusioned with those so–called family members.
It was best for everyone to go their separate ways.
Seeing Carole’s resolve, Anthea continued, “There’s also trouble back home. Saul’s been arrested for fraud. They’re trying to sell houses and pull strings to get him out.”
