Chapter 289 Stopping Winnie from Saving Elliott
"I also wondered how it's possible. With the dual influence of the Ordelia family and Lawrence R, the prison couldn't turn a blind eye unless..."
Darcy suddenly paused, realizing something, and immediately dismissed it.
"No, Mr. L wouldn't help her. Given his hatred for Winnie, he wouldn't even care about Elliott's situation."
That was also the reason the Ordelia family was assured that Elliott would die.
"Did you try to test him?"
Mrs. Ordelia said with a headache, "Winnie saw Elliott, and he must have told her everything. The medication in his body should have cleared in a month, but it depends on individual metabolism. Winnie might have taken a sample! The medication is a prohibited drug from the Ordelia Group's medical sector. If she retrieves it, she won't find any evidence. The urgent task is to make sure she investigates Jacob. Before she finds any clue, you must remove everything, understand? We can't leave any trouble behind!"
Darcy's gaze turned cold, and she quickly nodded.
After hanging up the phone, she kicked the cabinet in anger. Winnie, this woman, secretly did so many things.
She first snatched Triton back, and now she wants to save Elliott. Step by step, without her noticing, she had already struck several blows.
Darcy felt a strong threat and remembered the night three years ago when she boastfully revealed the animosity between the Ordelia Group and the Granger family.
This woman, wanting to save Elliott, surely won't spare the Ordelia family.
Darcy took a deep breath and quickly called Jeffrey, urgently saying, "Winnie must be investigating Jacob's family. Jeffrey, you've been overseeing this case from start to finish, and you're Jacob's nephew..."
"She will find you soon, and then you can immediately buy a plane ticket to go abroad and take care of Jacob's family. Hide out overseas!" Jeffrey was also taken aback.
He couldn't believe that Winnie would clear Elliott's name so quickly.
"Winnie Anderson, don't worry. I'll leave the country right away. Once I disappear, she won't be able to find anything." Darcy finally sneered and hung up the phone, but her mood remained gloomy.
She went upstairs, changed clothes, quickly grabbed her bag, and headed towards Island Electronics Group.
She needed to find out if Mr. L had anything to do with the release from prison, she had to make it clear!
With a hint of anger, Darcy arrived at Island Electronics Group, nearing ten o'clock, but Lawrence R wasn't in the office.
After asking the entire secretary's office, she learned that Mr. L hadn't come to the company in the morning.
A hesitant little secretary said, "I don't know why, Luke, the assistant, changed the signing ceremony to Christine Hotel. Mr. Rodriguez has been there since this morning."
Christine Hotel?
Darcy suddenly remembered the morning news report, mentioning that the Triton high-level celebration ceremony would be held at Christine Restaurant at noon.
Isn't that the same place?
Her eyelid twitched until the recent elevator closure. Her elegant face suddenly revealed a dark gloom.
Darcy went downstairs and quickly drove towards Christine Hotel.
-
At the same time, Triton Building.
The company spokesperson dismissed the journalists and the media, formalizing the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Winnie stood in the office, waiting for the bodyguards to bring Oscar to the company. She and Rock kept an eye on Olivia's suspicious activity on the airport surveillance system.
After meeting with her uncle yesterday, Winnie wasted no time and quickly went to Olivia's house, asking her to use her hacker skills to investigate.
She thoroughly checked Jacob's relatives and neighbors.
Among them, Jeffery, an important figure, emerged as Jacob's nephew. And Jeffery was a familiar face to Darcy, someone who had helped her a lot three years ago.
Winnie had some impression of him.
As an efficient operator, anything that Darcy didn't personally handle must have been Jeffrey's responsibility.
The framing inside and outside the case involving her uncle...Jeffery was a key figure.
As Winnie expected, once the Ordelia family found out about her secret visit to her uncle in prison, their immediate response was to let Jeffery escape first.
Sure enough, he had already taken refuge at the airport.
Winnie raised an eyebrow and stared at the monitor screen. Jeffery, wearing a mask and carrying a travel bag, stood at the international departure security checkpoint, about to pass through security.
She looked up at Rock and said, "Rock, have your men prepare for the arrest!"
In order to be prepared, they had released a large number of bodyguards into various corners of the airport an hour ago.
After completing the task, Winnie finally relaxed.
Rock returned after making a phone call and led an Oscar in from outside.
He calmly said, "Beautiful CEO Wen, your son has arrived. The executives are all waiting for you. Can we go to Christine's celebration banquet?"
"Let's go. I will treat you to a good lunch today, Rock."
Oscar held mommy's hand and looked up, blinking. "Mommy, Rock, you both seem very pleased."
Upon hearing this playful comment, both adults chuckled.
Winnie pinched her son's ear and said, "Today is a good day for mommy, so I can feel pleased, right?"
"Of course you can. My mommy has taken back her own company. She's amazing," Oscar smirked.
If it weren't for the celebration, Winnie wouldn't have risked bringing her son along, leaving the little guy all alone at home. That would have been too unfair to him.
The three of them left Triton and headed to Christine's restaurant in Rock's car.
-
In the business meeting room at Christine Hotel, Lawrence R had just finished a signing ceremony.
Luke was seeing a guest out when a graceful figure suddenly rushed in.
Luke couldn't stop her in time. "Miss Ordelia..."
A tall man sat in the chairman's seat, smoking arrogantly and appearing cold and aloof. He looked up, not too pleased with the intruder, and furrowed his brows. "Darcy, what are you doing here?"
Darcy had arrived with anger, intending to question him.
She suddenly felt a shiver when facing Lawrence R's imposing presence that he exuded from being in a high position for a long time.
Immediately containing her sharp gaze, Darcy slowly entered with her bag, looking pitiful. "Mr. L, I just wanted to ask you about something. Have you finished the meeting?"
Lawrence R crushed the cigarette in the ashtray with his long fingers.
Then, with a calm expression, he stood up. "Hmm, go ahead."
"I heard the lunch here is very good. How about, Mr. L, we go to the restaurant and talk there?"
Lawrence R glanced at his expensive watch, seemingly lost in thought.
Surprisingly, he didn't object and stood up, walking out without taking Darcy's hand. He pressed the elevator button directly.
Darcy stomped her foot inwardly, feeling that his mood today was particularly bad.
Glancing at the logo of the "Christine" hotel, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "I heard from people at the company that the signing was originally scheduled at the Grey Hotel. How come Luke changed it to Christine Hotel, Mr. L?"
Lawrence R paused for a moment, a flicker in his deep eyes, as he recalled when Luke mentioned the itinerary in the morning.
He had casually mentioned that they would be at Christine and mentioned the VIP card.
Luke had already seen that Miss Anderson would be at Christine Hotel, so he deliberately scheduled Lawrence R’s meeting here also.
In the news about Christine's restaurant celebrating a banquet, they also changed the contracted hotel while they were at it.
Luke answered Darcy with a smile, "Indeed, I made the change, Miss Ordelia. I see there is still a considerable amount left on the Supreme Card over here."
Darcy felt that Mr. L seemed absent-minded today and wondered if it had something to do with Winnie.
Regardless of the reason, it was enough to make her unhappy.
The elevator made a *ding* and Lawrence R turned to Luke, saying, "Book the best private room. Miss Ordelia likes to sit by the window, so by the window it is."
Upon hearing this, Darcy grew even happier and began to speak, but the man glanced over and asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
