Chapter 113
George savored her worshipful gaze. He comforted her with a few more gentle words before the visitation time ended.
When he stepped out of the station, his lawyer met him with a grim update.
“Chairman Spencer, this case is very complicated. Ms. Jones’ accusation of blackmail against Mrs. Reed involves a large sum of money, and the evidence is solid. If this goes to trial, Mrs. Reed has almost no chance of winning. She’s looking at a minimum of ten years p>
George’s face grew darker with every word. “I don’t want to hear that,” he snapped. “I just want to know how to get Megan acquitted p>
“I can arrange for Mrs. Reed’s bail for now,” the lawyer replied cautiously. “But for an acquittal, you’ll need to speak with Ms. Jones p>
The lawyer from Nexus Media was efficient. Soon, Megan was released on bail. George and Queena were there to pick her up.
“George! Queena!” Megan, who had been locked up for seventy-two hours, looked gaunt and frail.
“Megan, I know you’ve been through a lot. It’s over now. Everything is fine,” George said, wrapping his arm around her. He helped her into the car, holding her close.
“Dad, Mom has suffered so much this time. You have to make it up to her,” Queena said, clinging to Megan’s arm while looking at George with pleading eyes.
“Of course,” George replied. He took a gold card from his wallet and handed it to Queena. “Take your mother for a spa day. Buy her some new clothes and jewelry p>
“I will! Thank you, Daddy!” Queena giggled.
“George, you’re the best to me,” Megan said, her gaze soft and loving.
He took her hand and sighed. “It’s my greatest regret that I could never give you and Queena the official recognition you deserve. But don’t worry, everything I have-my company, my assets-it will all go to Queena one day p>
“You can’t do that!” Megan feigned shock. “Teresa would never agree. Besides, Jeffrey is your eldest son. The company should go to him.” Follow current novels on.net
“Jeffrey is a doetor, and I won’t let Joseph get involved in the business when he’s older. They have the James family to back them; they be fine As for Yvonne, I’ll just send her off with a small gifts George held Megan’s hand with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Queena. “Queena is the embodiment of our love. She is the only one worthy of inheriting everything I own p>
“George,” Megan said, her eyes welling with tears. “Meeting you was the greatest blessing of my life. Being loved by you makes me the happiest woman in the world. I don’t care about a title p>
George was clearly moved by her melodramatic words.
The car pulled up in front of Viva Place, an upscale shopping center. George had a meeting to attend, leaving Megan and Queena to enjoy a shopping spree with his credit card. As they walked hand-in-hand into a high-end boutique, they were surprised to run into Yvonne.
Though Yvonne had yet to star in a project, her massive charitable donation had brought her a great deal of positive attention. The online consensus was that “because she had walked through the rain herself, she was willing to hold an umbrella for others.” Her image as a beautiful, kind-hearted soul was firmly established.
