Chapter 780 Why does Everything seem So Convenient?
Jade watched Saskia bawling her eyes out, but she couldn't muster any sympathy.
All she cared about was getting that recording from Saskia to save Nathaniel.
Seeing Saskia cry like that made Jade suspicious. "Why does this all seem too convenient?"
Saskia raised her hand. "I saw Herschel while working a part-time job. The recording was pure luck, Jade. How could I joke about my own son?"
Saskia was swearing up and down, tears streaming down her face.
Jade, being a woman and a mom herself, got where Saskia was coming from.
She thought if Saskia lost her kid, she'd be devastated.
If Saskia went crazy or died, how could Nathaniel still be hung up on her?
Jade suddenly had an idea.
She said, "Give me your phone. I'll have someone find a way to help your son."
As Saskia handed over her phone, she suddenly got wary.
She said, "You wouldn't agree so easily. I know you really want me dead, so I won't have any chance to influence Nathaniel."
The moment Jade's face darkened, Saskia knew she was right.
Saskia seized the moment. "Give me a contract."
Jade had the power to mobilize all her resources to save Benjamin.
As for Nathaniel, he was only temporarily wronged.
Once Benjamin was rescued, Nathaniel would be released because of the recording.
Saskia was so clever that Jade had no choice.
Jade had someone draft a contract.
Only then did Saskia transfer the recording to Jade.
Jade had to mobilize everyone to rescue Benjamin.
The masked man didn't expect everyone to come after him at that moment.
Benjamin, in his hands, was a liability.
The masked man had no choice but to abandon Benjamin, but before leaving, he injected Benjamin with a drug.
This drug would make Nathaniel come begging to him!
When Benjamin was brought back, Saskia was so excited to hold him in her arms.
Benjamin hugged Saskia tightly. He had been terrified when taken away, fearing he would never see Saskia again.
He exclaimed, "Mom, I thought I'd never see you again."
"Me too." Saskia was also scared. She thought the swift action was because Jade had sent many people.
She didn't expect the masked man to let Benjamin go deliberately.
At that time, the masked man called Azalea. "Azalea, the child you're carrying is Nathaniel's, but Nathaniel only uses you. If Nathaniel knew Benjamin was his son, what do you think he would do?"
The masked man's words sank into Azalea's heart.
Nathaniel had been close to Saskia many times, and he only approached Azalea to get close to Saskia.
Nathaniel's love for Saskia was as deep as his hatred.
If Nathaniel knew he had a child with Saskia, what would happen to Azalea?
Azalea spoke coldly. "I don't need you to remind me."
The masked man chuckled. "If I were you, I wouldn't let Benjamin live."
Azalea hung up the phone.
Though she wanted to stay by Nathaniel's side and feared him knowing everything, the masked man was suggesting she murder Benjamin.
She was Benjamin's aunt. How could she be so heartless?
Azalea's mind was torn between two voices.One voice urged justice, the other whispered evil.
"Benjamin is already sick. Saskia never thinks of you. Why should you think of her? People should be selfish!" The evil voice began to consume her reason.
Justice fought back. "No, he's just a child..."
Evil continued. "Azalea, if you don't look out for yourself, do you want to see your child suffer?"
Of course, Azalea didn't want to see her child suffer.
She had been trying for years, but Saskia never acknowledged her efforts and even mingled with Nathaniel on their engagement day.
Nathaniel was her fiancé. Her child was Nathaniel's child!
Yes, only her child could call Nathaniel "Dad"!
With that thought, Azalea's eyes filled with endless coldness.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was making progress. With the recording in hand, the court and police began their investigation into Herschel.
Once it was confirmed that Herschel had conspired with others to frame Nathaniel, Nathaniel was released.
Nathaniel walked out as Herschel was taken in, facing each other.
They were supposed to pass by, but Nathaniel stopped in front of Herschel.
Nathaniel couldn't believe he had been framed. From the start of his career, he had never lost a case.
Moreover, with the Egan family behind him, no one dared to oppose him.
Now, Herschel had conspired with others, and Nathaniel was heartbroken.
Nathaniel said, "Herschel, you were my friend."
Oscar, James, and Quincy had grown up with him.
Herschel was his classmate. Herschel became a lawyer, while Nathaniel became a judge.
Though they met later, Nathaniel treated Herschel the same.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked giving Herschel money.
In the end, his sincere heart was misplaced.
Herschel's lips curled into a sneer. "Don't say those meaningless things. Nathaniel, I admit defeat this time."
Herschel's sentence was inevitable.
Unexpectedly, the investigation also uncovered his embezzlement and bribery.
This meant all of Herschel's assets would be seized.
Herschel was left with nothing.
He had anticipated this outcome and had nothing to say.
But he couldn't stop worrying about his grandmother, who had raised him.
Herschel knew that once a powerful person fell, those who depended on him would scatter.
He could only ask Nathaniel, "Please, take my grandmother to a nursing home and tell her I'm on a business trip. Don't let her know I'm in prison. Nathaniel, you should thank Saskia."
At the mention of Saskia's name, Nathaniel's expression darkened.
Why should he thank Saskia for his release?
What was Saskia to him?
Unexpectedly, Herschel continued, "If Saskia hadn't been working as a waitress and recorded my conversation, do you think you'd be out so soon? Saskia truly loves you, even risking her son's life."
Nathaniel said nothing, but his heart felt heavy.
Saskia only loved money. She was a vain woman.
How could Saskia go to such lengths for Nathaniel?
Noticing Nathaniel's disbelief, Herschel smirked. "You were with Saskia. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
