“Emily is a grown–up. Why is she so stupid? I think it’s better to teach her a lesson this time…”
“Mom, I only have one daughter. If Emily goes to prison, how can I live?”
Marilyn was unmoved. “She is an adult now. She has to pay for what she did.”
Peter didn’t expect Marilyn to be so stubborn. He said in a threatening tone, “Mom, if anything happens to Emily, I will also die with her. If you want to lose your son in your old age, be my guest.”
With that, Peter left in a fit of anger, Marilyn couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.
In the end, Marilyn had no choice but to find Jensen. “Jensen, can you talk to Gilly about this matter? Gilly is soft- hearted. You two should discuss whether there are any ways to reconcile.”
Jensen had changed into a suit. He looked serious. “Grandma, this matter should be handled by the legal department of the Harrington family.”
He was too embarrassed to plead with Gilda. After all, stealing company secrets was not a trivial matter. A string of core data was likely to destroy a company.
So, he was not gonna step in.
Luna thought that Jensen agreed to help, so she stopped crying and wiped her tears.
She smiled, “Jensen is the best! I knew that you would not leave Emily alone.
“Emily has been locked up for a night. You have to save her as soon as possible…”
Jensen smiled and said sarcastically, “Aunt Luna, it is not a time to celebrate. Stealing company secrets is not a small crime, at least three years in prison.”
“Three years? No way!”
Luna instantly panicked and took Jensen as a savior.
“You know, your uncle and I have only one daughter. If Emily goes to prison, how can we live? Go and talk to Gilda. No matter how much money it takes, as long as she agrees to settle with us in private, we will agree…”
Jensen was self–deprecating. “Aunt Luna, you think too highly of me. Gilda and I are divorced… I won’t interfere in this matter. It depends on how the legal department deals with it.”
With that, Jensen went out without looking back.
In the car, Lanny looked at the tired Jensen and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Harrington, you just returned from

abroad. You don’t have to go back to the company in such a hurry.”
Jensen frowned and didn’t say anything. He had always kept what his grandmother told him at the birthday party in mind, so he went abroad to investigate the truth. But it had been too long and nothing could be found.
So, he had to deal with it from the source.
“How is Madeleine’s matter?” Jensen looked away and asked.
