Last night.
In Lennox’s home, Lennox, Mandy Chang, Lennox's wife and Juliet were sitting in the house with gloomy face.
Juliet looked at Lennox and asked, “Dad, was Esmee really caught? Seven days in detention? What's the matter? She called me this morning.”
Mandy said with a sullen face, “Because of Judson! Yesterday your father was slapped by Judson, so Esmee was angry and found a few students to beat Judson. Then she was caught by the police and detained for seven days. In addition, she was expelled from school. Juliet, find a way out. She hasn't graduated yet, and if she's expelled, her life will be over.”
Juliet was shock and took a look at Lennox deeply, “Dad, is that true?”
Lennox nodded heavily and sighed deeply, with a trace of venom in his eyes, “Yes, Judson did it. I just came back from the police station. Esmee can only get out after seven days. I asked someone to help. But Director Stewart gave an order no one can interceded! Judson is cruel!”
Juliet frowned deeply and thought for a while, “It is not easy to deal with this matter. We have always looked down upon Judson. It has been nearly two years since Judson came to the Shaw family, but we did not treat him and Diana well. It is ok for detention for seven days. If Judson can go to Nanjiang University to explain, it is possible to keep Esmee's school status, but Judson will not go.”
Lennox nodded, “Yes, his is now working in the Ray Group as a manager. He now does not put us in the eyes.”
Mandy stood up and said, “I don't care, he must apologize to Esmee. He must go to Nanjiang University to explain clearly to the school, otherwise I will never let him go! He is just a live-in son-i-law, what can he do? I will find Sally and talk about it. Good for them, they force Esmee to this situation!”
Lennox sighed and said, “It is useless to find them. After the death of Freddy, we did not pay attention to them, and Sally is not a Shaw!”
“What can we do? We can't watch Esmee get expelled. She is still young. That the university expelled her and there was a record in the police station would be the stain in her life. Who dares to marry her?” Mandy said anxiously.
Juliet frowned and thought for a while, “Judson even dares to beat father. If only we find him, it will be useless. We have to ask uncle and grandma to go with us tomorrow! With grandma there, Sally and Diana have to listen to grandma!”
Mandy’s eyes were bright and she nodded, “Yes, ask your grandma to go with us, so they will have to agree!”
The second day early in the morning, Lennox family went to Old Lady Shaw and told her what happened. Old Lady Shaw was angry. She made a call to Dexter and Robbie. Then the Shaw family was on their way to find Sally.
But when they arrived at the place where Sally used to live, they were all dumbstruck, because Sally moved out yesterday.
Old Lady Shaw frowned and asked one of Sally's neighbors, “Have they moved away?”
The neighbor nodded with a smile, “Yes, they moved out yesterday. Sally has a good son-in-law. He bought a house in ZZ Villa. Now Sally has a better life.”
“How can that be? Did you hear it wrong? How could Judson afford a house in ZZ Villa?” Old Lady Shaw did not to believe it. Not to mention Judson, even if the Shaw family could not afford a house in ZZ Vila. How could that loser Judson afford it?
In addition to tens of millions to buy the house, the annual cost of living there was hundreds of thousands.
The neighbor said, “Why should I lie to you? You can ask the neighbor. When Sally moved, we were all present. They did move to the ZZ Villa.”
Old Lady Shaw was about to say more, nut was suddenly stopped by Lennox. Lennox said, “Mom, it may be true. The day before yesterday I want to see a house in ZZ Villa with Mr. Chang, I met Judson. The manager of the sales office said that Judson did buy a house there!”
Old Lady Shaw was silent. Although his son said so, she did not believe it. She took out her mobile phone to make a call to Sally, but Sally’s phone was off. She called Diana, but no one answered.
“Go, go to Diana's company” Old Lady Shaw waved her hand. The Shaw family rushed to Diana's company. But they found Diana did not come to work today.
It was noon. The Shaw family had a meal. Sally's phone was off and Diana did not answer the phone. They had to go to the ZZ Villa in the afternoon.
