Chapter 902 Winnie Takes Action
Liliana speculated, "They must've really leaned on him. Did you see Jeremy's face when he came out? He looked like he'd seen a ghost! I'm telling you, Lynn, we're almost there. Our days of living the high life are just around the corner."
"This move was risky, but it was worth it. Now Jeremy's stuck. If he doesn't clean up this mess, other families will use you to go after the DeRoss Family."
Liliana chuckled as she peeked outside.
In the hallway, Jeremy was gone. He didn't even glance in Lynn's direction.
Katerina left right after him, not even bothering to check on Lynn.
Her face darkened, and she complained, "It's one thing for Jeremy to be mad at you, but his mom not even pretending to care? No class at all. She just followed Jeremy out without a second thought. Lynn, when you marry into that family, don't give her any respect. I heard Katerina acts all high and mighty in the DeRoss Family, even keeping Louis out of the house sometimes. She doesn't know how to keep a man happy. Don't be like her. When you marry Jeremy, you need to keep him wrapped around your finger."
Lynn was equally displeased with Katerina. She sneered, "No matter how much I try to please her, she's always so cold. But once I have Jeremy, she won't be a problem."
She imagined her soon-to-be blissful life with Jeremy and couldn't help but laugh, which pulled at the wound on her wrist. She raised an eyebrow, "Mom, did you bribe the doctor? Make sure everyone thinks I tried to kill myself and that my wrist is permanently damaged."
"Don't worry, I spent over three million dollars. The doctors and the media will spread the word. With you being 'disabled,' the DeRoss Family won't have a choice but to marry you." Liliana grinned wickedly.
Lynn felt everything was falling into place perfectly. Well, almost. There was one more thing to handle.
She glanced at her parents, "You guys go out. I need to make a call."
Liliana and Noah understood immediately and closed the door behind them.
Lynn called Sam, a dangerous glint in her eyes, "Everything's going smoothly here. Mr. DeRoss ordered Jeremy to marry me, but I doubt he'll give up easily. You need to act now."
Sam chuckled, "I've already got my mom working on it. Olivia's dad will be dealt with in the next couple of days."
"Sam, you're the best at handling these dirty jobs," Lynn said with a sly smile, her eyes narrowing.
The final blow to Jeremy had to be Olivia. Only if she got married immediately would Jeremy give up completely.
Lynn wasn't going to let this marriage slip through her fingers again.
Just as she was about to hang up, Sam hesitated, "Lynn, can you check on something for me in Lymington? I think Winnie is investigating me."
"Winnie? Why would she be looking into you?" Lynn remembered Winnie well. She almost got beaten up by her in Trento City. Winnie was backed by the Blanchet Family and ran the Blanchet Group. She was a tough opponent.
Lynn grew cautious, "Did you slip up?"
Sam replied, "No! I've never even spoken to Winnie. She might be helping Olivia investigate me, and she's looking into that paternity test you gave me. Is there a problem with it?"
Winnie was investigating Sam and Mia's paternity?
Lynn's breath caught. She knew exactly what was wrong with that test.
She had used it to trick Sam into fighting Olivia for custody of their daughter.
What was Winnie suspecting? She was definitely not to be underestimated.
Olivia might be powerless, but with Winnie backing her, things could get complicated.
Those two bitches.
"The test is fine. You are Mia's father," Lynn lied smoothly, trying to calm the idiot down. "Winnie is up to no good. She'll be a problem for us. Be careful! I'll handle her."
After hanging up, Lynn didn't relax. She clenched her fists.
If Winnie suspected Sam and Mia's relationship, she might start looking into Jeremy and Mia.
Lynn was terrified!
Three years ago, Olivia and Jeremy had no idea who the other was, which allowed her to deceive everyone.
How did Winnie figure it out? Damn it.
Would Winnie try to get a paternity test for Jeremy and Mia?
Lynn was on edge. She needed to keep a close eye on Jeremy.
AquaVista Continent Airport.
Lawrence stepped off the plane, his long legs stretching after the long flight. It was late at night.
The Rodriguez Group had a distribution company in Celestria, and an assistant with two foreign bodyguards was there to meet him.
"Good evening, Mr. Rodriguez."
Lawrence's cold eyes scanned the unfamiliar country before settling on the assistant. "Did Bryan brief you on my mission?"
The assistant was efficient, "Yes, Mr. Rodriguez. Before you landed, I used my connections in Celestria to check the passenger lists from a week ago. Unfortunately, with my limited resources, I couldn't find anyone named Ishara. So, she didn't show up here."
"She landed here using a fake passport," Lawrence's brows furrowed, his tone firm.
He hadn't expected the assistant to trace Ishara's movements easily. Rock had taken a lot of time to track her.
Surveying the airport, he chose to sit in the VIP lounge instead of leaving.
The assistant and bodyguards followed closely.
Lawrence crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and said, "I'm not leaving the airport tonight. AquaVista Continent is huge. I can't search for a needle in a haystack. If we can't find her real name, check the passengers who landed that day with Veridiania passports. Get the list and start eliminating the fake ones."
The assistant's eyes lit up. Of course, Ishara was from Veridiania. She wouldn't use a fake AquaVista Continent passport. The elimination method was tedious but precise.
He looked at Lawrence with admiration, "Mr. Rodriguez, please bear with us tonight."
Lawrence didn't respond; he just took a drag of his cigarette and then said, "My presence in AquaVista Continent doesn't need to be a secret. In fact, leak some information to Rock. If he gets anxious, he might contact Ishara."
A target that stays hidden is hard to find.
He didn't know which country Ishara was in. Casting a wide net would take time to get results.
It was best if Ishara revealed herself.
Lawrence stubbed out his cigarette forcefully. "First, find out where she went after landing!"
At the same time, in Fantasyville, the bustling nightlife enveloped the city. The CBD was in the center, with a towering building standing out.
NexaCore Group's global headquarters was here, which was much grander than the branch in Trento City.
The woman in charge of NexaCore Group's core power was inside.
Ishara lowered her binoculars from the window.
