Chapter 250 Buying Time
Turning a blind eye to this accident was simply impossible.
The impact was too significant to be suppressed.
Salvador Rivas, the person in charge of Ravenwood County, was now sweating bullets, thinking of countermeasures as he rushes to Sulfur Mountain Village.
Sitting next to him was the equally anxious Nathan. He looked at Salvador and said, "Mr. Rivas, I asked you before about this couple, and you assured me they were fine."
Salvador's face changes, feeling a bit guilty. "I really didn't know they were involved in this kind of business."
"Well, you should at least know the situation in your jurisdiction!" Nathan speaks bluntly. "Ms. Vanderbilt's last clue was cut off in your area."
"At first, I didn't understand either." Nathan's voice is cold. "Now I finally know why there has been no progress in the investigation. The local customs and your indulgence are the biggest obstacles!"
Salvador tried to distance himself. "Nathan, don't generalize. Things aren't exactly as you think. We haven't even reached Sulfur Mountain Village yet. We need to hear what the people involved have to say."
"The people involved?" Nathan's retort is sharp. "Mr. Rivas, are you disconnected from the internet or just blind? The behavior of Harvey, whom you support, is known all over the internet!"
Salvador wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. This was what worried him the most.
Everything else could be smoothed over, and there were excuses.
The law didn't punish the masses, and they were just farmers. It was just tricking a girl, after all.
Apologized to Adeline and sent her back, and the matter couldbe settled.
The premise was, there was no live stream!
Salvador clenched his hand. He still didn't understand how Adeline managed to start a live stream!
"I will give the public an explanation," Salvador says pompously. "Nathan, our top priority now is to save her!"
Nathan knew that the smaller the place, the less they cared about reputations.
Salvador might not be a good person, but he was useful now.
Nathan was ultimately just a businessman; he didn't confront Salvador head-on.
He feared that if they delayed any longer, Adeline's innocence will be at risk. Gripping the car seat, he urges the driver, "Hurry up; drive faster!"
"Safety first, there's fog on the mountain."
Salvador, on the other hand, wished what's done is done
A girl, inexperienced in the world, who would want to make a big deal out of being taken advantage of?
If she hadn't been taken advantage of, she might still resist. But if she had, the matter became simple. The Spencer Family just needed to prepare the money.
He didn't believe that the streamer will continue to make a fuss; it benefited no one.
Salvador had already planned to start with Adeline.
As long as he could persuade her, reminded her that if she continued, she would be pointed at for the rest of her life.
Salvador's plan was well thought out, but the car hadn't even entered the village yet.
His phone rang, and it was Jesse calling personally. The menace in his voice was palpable even through the phone.
"Salvador, you better pray that Adeline is still unharmed and her innocence intact. This is my warning to you. I know you're thinking that saving the Spencer Family will save you. Don't count on the person backing you; he's with Louis now. I can even tell you that Adeline is Louis's designated successor. If you want to live, don't waste time and save her."
