Chapter 302 Convincing Jeffery
In the reception room, Winnie walked in wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and quickly met Jeffery along with the prosecutor.
When the prosecutor finished asking a few questions and left in advance, Jeffery, with handcuffs on, fixed his gaze on Winnie's face.
Soon, he sensed that something was amiss and recognized Winnie.
His face changed, and the stubble he hadn't attended to for several days gave him a ferocious look.
"Winnie, you dare to come!"
He was caught by Winnie before he could escape overseas, which made him extremely furious!
Jeffery sneered and shouted, "Police! There's a stranger who sneaked in here wanting to threaten me…"
"Mr. Ramirez, I have no ill intentions. I came in to inform you about something related to you."
Winnie put on gloves, walked to his side, and quickly covered his mouth.
After he silenced, she immediately released her grip.
Her words were straightforward, "Did people from the Ordelia family come to pacify you this afternoon? Promising to quickly get you out, gifting you a mansion worth a fortune? Properly taking care of your family and your Uncle Jacob's family?"
Jeffery stared at her intently.
Indeed, the lawyer sent by Mr. Ordelia said that and also gave him several properties and shares in the Ordelia Group as gifts!
Of course, there were also threats. Both his family and Jacob's family were in the hands of the Ordelia family overseas.
Jeffery narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a cold smile.
"Miss Anderson, it’s because of you that I was captured and put in the police station. I will settle this grudge with you properly once I am rescued by the Ordelia family in a couple of days. Yesterday, Rock's bodyguard beat me, and I didn't say a word. Today, even if you disguise yourself and interrogate me, you won't get anything out of me. I won't say a single word. Your uncle was the one who killed my uncle Jacob! He deserves to die! Let me tell you, not only will you not save your uncle, but you will also be accused by Miss Ordelia and go to prison with your uncle. They have planned it all, and you have no chance of overturning the case."
Jeffery revealed a sinister expression.
Winnie remained indifferent, looking at him for a few seconds before suddenly smiling, "I don't know my own fate, but as for yours, I really do know. Are you sure that when the Ordelia family rescues you in a few days, you won't be a lifeless body?"
Perhaps her words were too sinister and soft, making them particularly chilling in the dim reception room.
Jeffery inexplicably shivered.
The possibility of the Ordelia family abandoning him and silencing him by killing him had crossed Jeffery's mind.
Been there. But he was also arrogant. He was Darcy's confidant for years, and he was involved in every bad thing Darcy did.
Holding so many secrets, Jeffery guessed that the Ordelia family would not dare to easily touch him!
Jeffery stared at Winnie and sneered, "Do you think a few words from you will make me suspicious of the Ordelia family? I am one of them, I won't help you. Give up on your plan!"
He was so arrogant, and Winnie futilely attempted to persuade him.
Winnie wasn't worried either. She just glanced outside the door, where the prosecutor Rock had arranged was keeping watch. When there were no police patrols, she quickly handed Jeffery a small white pill.
"What is this?" Jeffery was puzzled and didn't guess her intention.
Winnie smirked, "Just wait. In less than three days, the Ordelia family will make a move on you. This is a drug that induces temporary death. If you take it in advance, you can go into shock for about 12 hours. It can counteract other lethal injections, meaning it can save you and let you escape unharmed."
"Who knows if this is poison? Don't play tricks, the Ordelia family won't harm me!"
Jeffery thought of throwing the pill away contemptuously and was highly cautious of her.
Winnie forcibly held him down and lazily said, "Better safe than sorry. You don't have to take it if you don't want to. Holding it won't cost you anything. If you don't believe me now, when you're at death's door, you can rethink my words. What is more important, saving your life or staying loyal? My people have already gone abroad to find your and Jacob's families. Whether they are dead or alive, I'll be able to give you the news soon. Just wait."
Winnie finished speaking softly and stood up straight.
Jeffery's expression changed slightly. His family had been sent abroad by the Ordelia family, and he was actually worried too!
Winnie said she would go find them, and if she found them, she would consider them as hostages.
This woman, her tactics tonight were indeed different from the Winnie three years ago.
Jeffery looked at her meaningfully.
"At the critical moment, you will know who to turn to." Winnie smiled and left a note, "When you need my help, call this number and remember to tear it afterwards."
After she finished speaking, she left as if she was certain that he wouldn't reveal the fact that she gave him medicine to the Ordelia family.
Jeffery tightly clutched the note and the pill. At any time, one has to leave oneself some leeway. He swiftly accepted them and turned around to enter the cell.

Watching Jeffery accept the things and enter the cell, Winnie smiled and left the police station.
Under the cover of night, she thanked the prosecutor who had helped her. He was a contact of Rock's.
Tonight's activities were kept confidential, not known by the Ordelia family.
It seems that Jeffrey's encounter with the prosecutor was just a procedural matter. This crucial "testimony" from Jeffrey, the one that could frame his uncle, would be her best chance of winning.
However, the case has encountered a problem. Winnie personally conducted the blood test on her uncle, and there were traces of a hallucinogenic substance remaining in the blood, which had not been completely metabolized.
However, Winnie couldn't find any corresponding medication containing this substance on the market. It's not hard to guess that the Ordelia family sent Jacob to frame her uncle. The Ordelia Group is involved in the medical field, and their drugs are likely produced in their own pharmaceutical factory.
Winnie visited her uncle in jail and extracted his blood. The Ordelia family quickly noticed this. To prevent her from using the medication as evidence, the Ordelia family must have swiftly reclaimed all the medication available on the market.
However, the production of banned drugs is illegal. If this line of investigation continues, who knows what else might come to light about the Ordelia family. Winnie sneered. Was the Ordelia family trying to suppress her every attempt to gather evidence?
She would become even more motivated by setbacks.
After thinking it over, Winnie made a call to Olivia. "Olivia, do you have any free time lately? I need you to check if the Ordelia Group's medical division is producing banned drugs. Can you hack into one of their factory systems?"
When Darcy was mentioned, the three years of secret torment were etched in Olivia's silence.
Winnie sighed silently, "Olivia, I'm back, and you have support now. The three years of hardship you endured were not your fault, it was Darcy's fault. This time, not only do I want to save my uncle, but I also want the Ordelia family to gradually pay the price. It's time for you to pick up your hacking skills from three years ago and help me."
Finally, Olivia took a deep breath and spoke, "With you by my side, I'm not afraid. I'll investigate in secret for you."
Winnie gazed into the night and recalled something, saying, "In two days, Imperial Jewelry will be participating in a government project at the Perugia City Summit. They will be tendering for jewelry raw material suppliers, but the summit is not only about jewelry; it also involves various industries like construction. I remember your parents were in the construction business. You should come with me. The Smith Group needs to make a comeback; it can't remain in your uncle's hands forever!"
Winnie wasn't joking; she had now taken back Eternity Jewelry Co., Ltd., and it was going public. She was ready to start helping Olivia. She also had to continue being the ostrich that Darcy and Lynn had crushed!
Olivia bit her lip and glanced at Mia, who was oblivious playing beside her, and her father coughing in the cramped kitchen. He used to be a bright and shining person.
"Hmm, I'll go," she replied.
She took a deep breath.
Winnie hung up the phone and drove away swiftly.

Inside the villa, a group of nurses went to Darcy's room, but she didn't come down for dinner.
Oscar glanced upstairs, then looked at the despicable father sitting next to him, occasionally speaking.
This meal, with no bad women around, was especially enjoyable!
After dinner, he remembered the important matter at hand.
"Um, dad, you can go to your study. I'll go to the backyard to digest, no need to worry about me!"
Lawrence R walked up the stairs while the video conference was already connected. He watched as his son took something out of his backpack and ran faster than a rabbit.
What is he doing?
