CHAPTER 445
Chapter 445 A Crisis of Conscience
I won the gamble!
I won! I knew I would be safe!
“I’m here to bail Vicente out. By the way, I want to report something to you.”
Ladarius was dressed in a pressed suit and stood in high spirits in the police
lobby.
“What? What do you want to report?” The policeman frowned and thought, the
Petersen family has caused a lot of trouble recently. I feel annoyed.
“I want to report Ingrid, the vice president of the Petersen Group, for threatening
Vicente to give false testimony.”
The policemen glanced at each other and they were all surprised.
After a while, Vicente was released on bail. When he saw Ladarius, he smiled.
When Silvia finished her statement, she saw Vicente and Ladarius and she was
stunned.
However, on second thought, Silvia thought this was normal. Ladarius has
already worked in the Petersen Group. It was not strange for Ladarius and
Vicente to be together. Originally, it was not a strange thing, but it suddenly
occurred to Silvia that many things had happened before. After careful thinking,
she has figured out all the things she could not think of before.
“Ms. Austin, I’m sorry.”
When Silvia came to Ladarius and Vicente, she didn’t expect Vicente to bow
deeply to her in front of the policemen. “I’m so sorry I slandered you!”
Silvia was puzzled.
What does Vicente want to do?
“What are you going to do?” Silvia subconsciously took a step back.
“I just sincerely wanted to apologize to you, I didn’t mean to frame you. It was
ingrid who threatened me to frame you. I had no choice but to do it. I’m sorry!”
Silvia looked at Vicente and then looked at Ladarius who was standing not far
away. Ladarius was calm, and he was not surprised at all by what was
happening in front of him. He glanced at Silvia.

“You said that Ingrid ordered you to frame me. But why did she do this? I’m not
familiar with her!”
It was not because Silvia liked Ingrid, so she defended Ingrid, but she thought
this was very strange, not as simple as Vicente said.
Vicente framed me and then apologized to me. He can say what he wants. He
is definitely not just being threatened as he said.
“Ingrid wanted to get control of the Petersen Group, so she wanted to make a
big project.
It was her idea to add illegal items to the perfume, but I didn’t know this. She
lied to me with that fake perfumer. When she exposed this, she threatened me
with my mother’s safety and asked me to charge you.
“She said that as long as I accused you, she would ask the lawyer to blame you
for everything so that I could be released on bail. But I was cheated, and she
didn’t care about me at all.”
“So you have a crisis of conscience and want to change your statement?”
Vicente subconsciously looked at Ladarius, who was standing on the other side.
He scratched his head and said, “Yes.”
Then Ladarius walked over and stood beside Vicente. He looked at Silvia and
said, “You are also a victim. Ingrid planned the whole thing to take charge of theCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Petersen Group. She deliberately added illegal items to the perfume and then
revealed this. By doing so,
she could send Vicente to prison and make him lose his competitiveness. And
she would be regarded as a hero to save the Petersen Group and take charge
of it. By the way, she is still forcing Declan and she also cooperated with Abel of
the Perfuming Association to frame you. She wants to get rid of you, because
you are her competitor, and advertise the Petersen Group.”
Although Ladarius said that Ingrid did all the bad things, Silvia didn’t fully believe
him.
Silvia did not have a good impression of Ingrid before, but she didn’t think
Ladarius was a good guy.
“I understand.” Silvia looked at Vicente and smiled, “The Petersen family is
complicated.”
Vicente was speechless.
“And you.” Silvia looked at Ladarius and took a step forward. She looked into his
eyes and asked, “What role did you play in this? A hired thug, an accomplice,
or a justice messenger who stands against injustice?”
“I only found out about this after I found the evidence. I tell you this because I
don’t want more innocent people involved. I know you have a deep prejudice
against me, but believe me, Ingrid planned everything.”
“Yes! Please believe us!” Vicente nodded.
Ingrid did everything. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have suffered so much. I
wouldn’t be a loser overnight. I wouldn’t have been stepped on by others and I
wouldn’t have been imprisoned. It was all because of her!
“Maybe as you said, or maybe not as you said.” Silvia smiled, “However, this is
your family’s business. It has nothing to do with me.”
When Silvia brushed past Ladarius, she asked, “What does it have to do with
you?”
When Vicente heard this, he was upset.
“You’re right. It had nothing to do with Ladarius.”
Silvia looked at Ladarius and he smiled. “What does it have to do with me? You
will know very soon.”
Ingrid still hadn’t found Declan and his family. She was already using the power
of her Dark Group, but she still hadn’t found Declan, as if he had disappeared
out of thin air.
Declan’s houses in New York are all empty. Declan and his family can’t go
abroad for a short time. Even if they went, I would hear some news.
Moreover, since he set a big trap for me, he wouldn’t give up everything and go
abroad.
“How is it? Is there still no news about Declan?” Shawn rushed back and asked
as soon as he saw Ingrid and Hannah
Hannah was checking the information. After all these years, she knew how
many houses
Declan had and where they were. She was checking if there was any missing
information
Ingrid was on the phone in the room, pacing back and forth.
Looking up at Shawn, Hannah remained silent and continued to check the
information.
“Declan is in poor health and it is inconvenient for him to move. He won’t go too
far.” Shawn thought for a moment and said.
Hannah sneered, “Do you really understand Declan? Do you really think he is
going to die? I suspect that this is a trap he set for us. He is not sick at all! It
suddenly occurs to me that Declan is very healthy at ordinary times. He can’t
get seriously sick all of a sudden.
This is the trap he set for us!”
Shawn was shocked and he took a step back. He did not expect this to happen.
Shawn had thought that he would definitely get the family property when Declan
was seriously ill. Even if they were fighting for the family property, it had nothing
to do with outsiders. He thought he was smart, but he didn’t expect that he had
been trapped by Declan all the time.
“Forget it. I have already called the higher-ups and shareholders of the
company. Let’s have a meeting first. I have to take control of the company first
and then think of a way. I don’t believe that Declan will never show up!”
Ingrid gritted her teeth. Although she knew it was not a permanent solution, she
had no choice but to do so.
“But…” Shawn wanted to say something, but Ingrid’s phone rang again.
