CHAPTER 727 MANDY LOVETT'S PARENTS
Elliot raised his head and looked at Yvonne curiously too.
Theo was the only one who wasn't interested. He continued eating with a small spoon obediently.
Theo had gained a lot of weight now compared to when he first returned to the Lancaster family. He had become chubby and fair like a doll in a painting, which was extremely cute.
Yvonne turned her phone over and showed it to Henry and Elliot. "It's Mandy."
Elliot curled his mouth. "What is she calling you for?"
Although Henry didn't speak, what he wanted to know was the same thing as Elliot.
Yvonne turned the phone back to her. "She's in the police station now and I'm the one who called the police. She's either calling me to let her go or just to scold me. As simple as that."
Elliot hissed with his eyes full of disgust. "Oh, how dare she ask you to let her go."
Yvonne smiled and didn't speak further. Then she answered the phone. "Hello?"
After that, she put on the speaker and put her phone o n the dining table so that everyone could hear it.
Soon, Mandy's voice came from the phone. Her voice was trembling as if she was afraid. "Mrs. Lancaster, I know I'm wrong. Please let me go. I don't want to stay i n the police station anymore. I want to get out of here."
It was cold in the police station. She didn’t like the place.
Yvonne looked at her nails.
She had removed the nail polish from her fingernails because she was pregnant and her nails were clean now, so she could see the crescent clearly.
Yvonne said lightly, "Miss Lovett, what’s the use of asking me? If you want to get out, you'll be out in a few more days."
A smile flashed in Henry's eyes, then he took a sip of the soup.
Elliot couldn’t hold his laugh.
He knew that Yvonne was deliberately teasing Mandy.
Mandy bit her lip. "Mrs. Lancaster, you’re the one who called the police. I can get out as long as you talk to the police and there’s no need to wait for a few more days. You..."
Yvonne interrupted her with a smile, "So you know I called the police."
Mandy's eyes widened slightly for a moment. "What d o you mean?"
Yvonne said with her eyes cold, "That means if I called the police, of course I want you in there, so why should I help you out?"
Mandy was stunned for a while and it took her a long time to react. Her voice was sharp. "Shannon, you're too much!"
Her shout made Henry and Elliot frown at the same time.
Yvonne remained calm, keeping her smile. "Too much? How did I go too far?"
Mandy held the phone tightly. "Did you not? I just posted two videos online. Do you need to call the police to arrest me? You're too narrow-minded!"
Her words amused Yvonne and her tears almost came out from laughing too much. "Just posted two videos online? Mandy Lovett, it seems like you don't think what you've done is wrong until now. You think it's just a trivial matter."
Mandy asked frankly, "Isn’t it?”
Yvonne squinted her eyes. "Of course not. You want to ruin my reputation, but have you ever thought about i t? If the victim wasn't me, but an ordinary person with no background and influence, do you think she can escape from that today?"
Mandy's mouth moved without speaking.
Yvonne pursed her lips and answered the question herself, "No, the public opinion and online violence would drive her to death. And you, Mandy Lovett, you won't feel that you're at fault. Instead, you'll think that the victim's stress endurance is too weak that she committed suicide when the pubic scolded her." 1
Mandy clenched the phone and subconsciously wanted to refute. "1..."
But not knowing why, she couldn't utter a word and even felt a little guilty.
It seemed that if things really developed like what Yvonne said, she might really think that way.
At that moment, Elliot and Henry realized that if the victim wasn't Yvonne but someone else, it might have costed a life.
Even Sue, who was at the side, thought of it and couldn't help taking a deep breath.
No wonder madam said that Mandy had no legal consciousness. She even said that Mandy was kind apart from the fact that she was immoral.
But now, it was just bullsh*t.
"So, Miss Lovett, you should be grateful that it's me today. Otherwise, someone will die and you'd be the culprit," Yvonne emphasized the word 'culprit' when she said it.
Mandy's heart was cold for a moment, but there was still no refutation. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Yvonne put a piece of meat in her mouth. "So Miss Lovett, do you think I will let a person who tries to kill me with the public's opinion out?"
"No, I didn't think about..."
"You've never thought about it. That's because you can never imagine what will happen next. Even though I live well now, my reputation is ruined because of you and I'm not a good person, so I won't let you go easily."
With these words, Yvonne directly cut off the phone.
Elliot gave her a thumbs up. "Good job, Yvonne!"
Yvonne smiled at him. "Thank you."
Henry served her a bowl of soup. "You didn't eat much just now. Have some soup to warm your stomach."
Yvonne smiled and took it with both hands. "Thank you, hubby."
Henry looked at Elliot provocatively when she was drinking the soup.
Elliot rolled his eyes and didn't care about him.
After dinner, they went back to the room, ready to sleep.
The next day, Mandy’s parents came to Canada. After seeing Mandy at the police station, they went directly t o Lancaster’s family residence.
Originally, they indeed came to apologize, hoping that the Lancaster family would let Mandy go.
But when they got out of the car and saw the luxurious Lancaster family residence, they changed their minds. After looking at each other, they both saw the ambitions in each other's eyes, but they soon disappeared.
Mr. Lovett went up and knocked on the door.
Soon, a servant came to open the door.
Yvonne and Henry knew that the couple had come.
Yvonne looked at the man next to her. "Do you want to see them?"
Henry was wearing a tie. "I'll see them since they're here. They still owe us about 1.9 million dollars."
"That’s true." Yvonne smiled without saying anything. Then she walked out of the room with him and went t o the living room.
At this time, the couple was waiting in the living room. They looked at the surroundings while waiting.
Mrs. Lovett touched a vase and said with her flashing eyes, "Dear, these are all antiques."
Although Mr. Lovett wasn't as exaggerated as she was, his eyes also shined with fine light. "It's indeed an antique."
Mrs. Lovett sighed, "The Lancaster family is too rich."
Mr. Lovett nodded. "Yeah, the Lancaster family is much richer than I thought. Most importantly, they have a collection of antiques!"
He looked at each of the valuable antiques.
The real wealthy family was a family with such
valuable antiques because once the group went bankrupt, these antiques could help them to make a comeback.
"Dear, didn't we always want our family to expand into a big and wealthy family? But we haven't found a family alliance with a solid foundation to marry Mandy. Now that the Lancaster family is so wealthy, d o you think we should..."
"Hush!" Mr. Lovett quickly made a gesture of silence. "I know what you want to say, but this isn't the place where you say those words. Let's go back and talk about it."
Mrs. Lovett nodded. "Right. That's right..."
At this time, Henry and Yvonne came in slowly.
The excellent appearance of the couple dazzled the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Lovett.
Both of them stood up and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster, you're finally here."
