CHAPTER 292 A CALL FROM THE POLICE STATION

Sue sighed, "No, his housekeeper said that he didn't go out all day today so there wasn't any chance to obtain his hair. It'll have to wait till next time."

"Alright, next time then." Yvonne wasn't surprised by this result. If obtaining Elliot's DNA was this easy, Henry would have done it long ago.

“Let's not talk about this anymore, madam. Come eat first, I made you your favorite dish," Sue changed the subject.

"Okay." Yvonne rubbed her tummy and nodded happily.

She was already feeling hungry on the way back.

"Let's go then." Sue got up and went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes.

Yvonne followed, wanting to see if there was anything she could help with.

In the end, her help wasn't needed. She only had to wait for food.

After the meal, Yvonne had nothing to do so she went t o the small garden outside the villa with her tablet. She relaxed on the lounge chair, checking for information on her device while enjoying the sun.

But the peacefulness didn't last long and was soon broken by Sue's angry voice.

"Madam!” Sue came over with the landline phone. "A call for you.”

"Who is it?” Yvonne lifted her head and asked in confusion.

Sue handed her the phone. "It's from the police station."

"Police?" Yvonne accepted the phone skeptically.

"They said Dominic Conrad wishes to meet you," she explained.

Yvonne’s face sank at the information and brought the phone to her ear. "Hello.”

"Is this Miss Frey speaking?” A polite inquiry came from the other end of the line.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes.”

"Hello, we are calling from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Is Mr. Dominic Conrad an acquaintance of yours?” the person on the other end asked.

Yvonne initially wanted to deny that, but the cop must have known that she knew Dominic for them to be calling her. Therefore, she had no choice but to admit that. "Yes," she suppressed her irritation and replied.

"Alright, Mr. Conrad requested to meet you. Do you have time to come over?”

"Meet me?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes. "What business does he have with me?” "It's about the appeal. Mr. Conrad has an opportunity t o appeal in prison,” The person on the other end of the line immediately answered.

And Yvonne also understood the message he was trying to convey.

Dominic just wanted to ask for forgiveness from her. A s long as the victim of his criminal case forgave him, Dominic could be acquitted if he appealed.

Hmph, it was a good scheme.

However, it all depended on whether she would concede.

She finally saw Dominic in jail, so why would she want to set him free again?

At the thought of that, Yvonne replied coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't have the time and I don't wish to meet him either. Could you please convey my message to him so that he can perish that thought? I'm not going t o help him, period.”

After saying that, she immediately hung up without even waiting for the other person to respond.

Sue took the phone from Yvonne. "Madam, what did they tell you?"

Yvonne laid back on the lounge chair. "Dominic wants to meet me to get me to write a memorandum of understanding." "What?!" Sue exclaimed, "He actually thought of that?”

Yvonne pressed her lips. "It's just my guess, but I’m not sure either. Even so, that’s most likely the case because I really can't think of any other reason why he would want to meet me apart from this." exclusive content.

"That must be it, madam! You mustn't give in!" Sue quickly persuaded her, for fear that she would actually agree to it on impulse.

Yvonne couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Sue so anxious. But after that, she was puzzled again. "I definitely won't. But I just understand why Dominic has a chance to appeal. He has been sentenced. That means he had been convicted and he shouldn’t be given a chance to appeal."

Although she didn't know much about the law, she actually researched it for the sake of putting Dominic i n jail.

Hence, she knew whatever there was to know.

Sue was also a little puzzled after listening to Yvonne. "True, by right that shouldn’t be the case... Perhaps you should check with sir?"

Yvonne thought for a while but didn't refuse or agree t o her suggestion. "Maybe not now. He's very busy, so I don't want to disturb him. I'll wait till he comes back tonight."

"What about Dominic Conrad then...?"

Yvonne’s face turned frosty. "Ignore him. There's no way I would meet him."

"Okay then, I'll put the phone away now." Sue went into the house with the phone.

Yvonne gazed up at the blue sky, feeling gloomy in her heart.

Henry came back at night.

Before Yvonne could even think of how to break the news about the phone call she received earlier to him, Sue had told him everything.

Henry frowned after listening to her. It was obvious that he didn't know Dominic had the opportunity to appeal either.

"Henry," Yvonne called him.

Henry looked at her. "I'll ask Joe to check with the police station."

After saying that, he took out his phone and sent out a text message.

Half an hour later, Joe called him on his phone.

Henry immediately put it on speaker. "Did you find out anything?"

Yvonne stared at the phone, eager to know the answer.

Joe's polite voice rang out, "I did. Dominic pulled some strings and donated a big number of police cars, resources, as well as a generous donation of seventy-five thousand dollars to the police station. Hence, he was given an opportunity to appeal."

"I see," Yvonne muttered.

So it turned out that money was involved.

Money could really make the world go round!

It was at this very moment that Yvonne's hatred toward Dominic went up to another level.

She didn't discriminate nor did she despise rich people.

However, she was extremely revolted by people like Dominic Conrad.

"Did you find out who was helping him?" The expression on Henry's face darkened.

He didn’t expect Dominic was capable of doing that.

Joe shook his head apologetically. "No. But for the police and the court to agree in giving an appeal, that person must be someone special."

Henry pondered for a few seconds. "Got it. Just keep a n eye on that. Make sure that person won’t be able to get Dominic out without going through proper process."

"Alright," Joe responded.

When the call ended, Yvonne was clenching her fists i n worry. "You think someone might be able to get Dominic out of there?"

Henry massaged his nose bridge. "This is just my guess. If that person has the ability to give Dominic a chance to appeal, he should have the ability to get him out of there."

"If that’s really the case, then why make Dominic appeal instead of just getting him out of there directly?" The whole thing just didn't make any sense t o Yvonne.

Henry poured himself a glass of water. "I just said that. He has to go through the process. I was the one who sent Dominic there and the person had Dominic appeal, probably because he didn't want to directly offend the Lancasters."

Yvonne listened and gave it a serious thought. Then she suddenly realized something. "You mean that person didn’t directly bail Dominic from jail out of respect for the Lancasters?"

"Correct," Henry nodded.

Yvonne's jaw dropped and was at a loss for words.

After a while, she asked worriedly, "Henry, if I refuse t o write the memorandum of understanding, do you think that person will just bail Dominic out?"

"Possibly," Henry said solemnly.

Yvonne’s face paled as panic set into her mind. "In that case, what should I do?"

"Don’t worry." Henry held her hand. "It hasn't happened yet. All this is just speculation. Maybe things aren't what we think they are.” "Is that so?" Yvonne smiled reluctantly but wasn't convinced at all. "Henry, who do you think helped Dominic?"
