Chapter 225
“Mom.” When Amelia woke up, the first thing she did was grab Cathy’s hand and ask to visit Emma.
Cathy was still worried about Maddie and was visibly distracted. However, when Amelia shook her wrist, her mind returned to Amelia. She pressed down on Amelia’s shoulder to let her lie down and comforted her. “Don’t worry, your brother Roland and William have already gone over. We’ll hear news from them very soon.”
Amelia was still worried. She held her mother’s hand tightly. “Mom, doesn’t Dad know the police chief, Leonard? Let’s call and ask.” Cathy raised her hand to wipe away the sweat on her daughter’s forehead. Her heart ached. “Don’t worry. The Taylor family and the Green family families will go over personally. Leonard will certainly consider their request.”
“Mom…” Amelia was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Cathy looked at Mr. Green helplessly.
Mr. Green sighed. “Alas, children never let me rest.”
With that, he took out his phone and called Leonard. “Leonard”
Leonard interrupted Mr. Green before he could say anything and pleaded, “Mr Green, Mr. Green, please don’t make things difficult for me. I really can’t do this.”
Mr. Green froze and subconsciously looked at Cathy.
The couple looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Mr. Green said, “Leonard, I–I haven’t said what it is yet.”
Leonard sighed. “What can it be? It’s about your granddaughter, Emma, isn’t it? Let me tell you the truth. She’s definitely going to jail. No one can do anything for her, not even the chairman of the state!”
At this point, Leonard took a sip of water and calmed himself down. He continued, “Mr. Green, you know we’ve been friends for many years. There are too many things involved, and I can’t tell you too clearly. But on account of our many years of friendship, I’ll tell you what I can. Don’t interfere, no matter what. Don’t involve the entire Green family.”
With that, he hung up the phone.

What did Leonard mean?
This time, Mr. Green was completely stunned and could not come back to his senses even after a long time.
Cathy had to call out several times before Mr. Green looked up in a daze.
Then, his expression suddenly turned serious.
He warned Amelia, “Just wait for the court to decide on Emma’s matter. Don’t use any connections.” He also instructed his wife, “Keep an eye on her. Bring a lawyer over later to see Emma. You’re not allowed to go again after that.”
“Dad! What are you talking about?” Amelia could not believe what she had heard and could not help but shout.
Mr. Green, who had always doted on her, did not show any mercy this time. His expression was cold. “Amelia, your sister is right. You’re already in your 50s. You should know some things. Do you want to drag the entire Green family into this for an adopted daughter?”
Mr. Green was willing to dote on his daughter and pamper Amelia, but the prerequisite was not harming the Green family. Once it involved the Green family, even if Emma died, he would not even bat an eye.
All these years, he felt that he had done enough for Amelia. He did not owe her anything.
Although Cathy felt sorry for Amelia, she had always been on the same side as Mr. Green. She turned to persuade Amelia, “Amelia, I know you feel sorry for Emma, but you should also think about me and your father. You can’t drag the entire Green family down for Emma and disregard the Green family’s reputation.”
Amelia had always been soft–hearted. When she heard her mother’s words, she immediately did not know what to do anymore. Suddenly, she was lost.
“Then, what about Emma?”
Cathy comforted Amelia. “Don’t worry. Let’s hire a good lawyer for Emma and try to reduce her sentence as much as possible. Moreover, even if she really goes to jail, it doesn’t matter. There are many ways. We can get her medical parole, create an invention under her name, or do something to give her a chance to sacrifice herself to save someone or something like that. That way, her sentence will be reduced very quickly. At most, she will be in jail for a few months.”

Amelia was quickly appeased.

Cathy took Amelia and her lawyer to the police station to see Emma.
Emma had already met William, so she had a rough idea of the situation. Therefore, she did not have any special reaction when he saw Amelia, especially when Cathy was there too.
She only had one request. She wanted to call David, who was in Gorshire.
The lawyer went over to negotiate. Amelia shook Emma’s hand across the table, her eyes filled with apology.
“Emma, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Emma lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before saying, “Where’s Dad?”
Until now, Emma was still in a daze. She was still at a loss.
She did not understand. Her family was already clearly prepared to attack. She had successfully persuaded her parents to use public opinion to force Olivia into a corner. Everything was prepared.
She only needed to wait quietly and would be out of the sanatorium
soon.
Why did everything change all of a sudden?
There was nothing about Olivia on the Internet. Olivia was not forced into a corner at all. Instead, Emma was reported and thrown into jail.
How in the world did things turn out like this?
Emma could not figure it out and felt even more helpless.
After a while, David’s call went through.
The lawyer handed the phone to Emma.
On the other end, David had only said, “Hey.”
And Emma already could not control her emotions and cried out. “David, David…”
Since reaching Gorshire, David had not contacted Emma for a long time. When he first heard Emma’s voice, he was a little stunned. It took him a while to react and realize it was her.
He hurriedly comforted her. “Emma, don’t cry. What’s wrong? Don’t cry.”
Emma cried her eyes out for a while before sniffing and saying, “David, something happened to me. Someone reported me for falsifying my medical records.”
