Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 356

As for how to cover it up...

Makayla bit her lips.

It was the red mole on Amber's wrist that revealed her identity.

If she could remove the mole, no one would know Amber's real identity.

Thinking of that, Makayla had already made the decision.

The phone rang suddenly.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Makayla took out her phone to see who was calling.

It was Mrs. Gardner. "Mom?"

"Makayla, come back as soon as possible!" came the urgent voice of Mrs. Gardner, as if she was gonna cry the next second.

"What happened?" Makayla straightened up. "Is there something wrong?"

"A few cops came and took Makenna away." Mrs. Gardner burst into tears. "They said she did something illegal during the probationary period. How is this possible? She had been with us all the time. I'm pretty sure she didn't do anything wrong. She must have been set up by those cops!"

Makayla rolled her eyes as she heard of this.

Even a person like her who never had higher education knew that the police wouldn't frame citizens.

How could her mother, a well-educated person, be devoid of the most common knowledge?

But it didn't matter. The important thing was that Makenna was taken away by the police.

So it must be the masterwork of Miss Reed, who asked Makayla to record Makenna's guilty plea and used this as evidence to send Makenna to prison.

Makayla hadn't expected Miss Reed to be so fast and managed to send Makenna in within only half a day.

She tried hard to cover her excitement up and pretended to comfort her mother: "Take it easy, Mom. There may be some misunderstanding. Maybe she's just cooperating with the investigation and will soon be back."

"But I've seen the warrant of arrest, which cannot be issued if she's only involved in the investigation!" Mrs. Gardner's eyes were red with weeping.

She wasn't familiar with the work-flow in the police system, but she indeed knew that following the execution of arrest was imprisonment!

That meant Makenna would not come back.

"Well...this seems serious." Makayla pretended to be worried, but she was actually elated at the result.

"What...what should we do now?" Mrs. Gardner asked in a choked voice.

Makayla rolled her eyes.

What else was there to do? Just let it go!

She expected her to find a way to save her sister?

Though she knew that her mom really meant it, she actually didn't want to save her sister.

But she couldn't speak out what was really in her mind. She closed her eyes for a few seconds to suppress her annoyance before replying, "I don't know what to do either. We'd better let Dad handle this."

"No! We can't involve your dad in!" Mrs. Gardner blurt out in a shrill voice as if she was irritated.

There was a twinkle in Makayla's eyes, and a smile played over her lips.

"Why not?" she asked as if she didn't understand her mother's words.

"Last time, your father made it clear that if Makenna broke the law again during the probationary period, your father would leave her alone, and no longer regard her as his daughter. The Trident Group had a hard time recovering after it almost went bankrupt last time because of what Makenna did. If the news of her breaking the law again comes out, the Group will be in turmoil once again and then..."

"Then what?" The upward curvature of the corners of Makayla's mouth went deeper.

"Then your father will have no prestige in the Group and his shares will be diluted because of the financing. By then, the Trident Group will no longer belong to our family," sobbed Mrs. Gardner.

"I see. In that case, I guess we have to hide it from Dad." Makayla nodded to show her understanding.

In fact, she had known for a long time that Dad wouldn't help Makenna this time because she overheard Dad's conversation by chance last time. That was why she was totally without scruple to ask her mom to tell Dad for she was pretty sure her mom wouldn't let Dad know and even if she did, Dad was not going to take out the helping hand.

She was just passing the buck to her father so that her mother wouldn't count on her to solve this.

"Makayla..." Mrs. Gardner still wanted to say something before Makayla interrupted her: "Mom, don't worry. I'll be back later and we then continue the talk. I'm on my way now and feel a little dizzy."

"Okay. Bye. Take care of yourself. Have a rest in the car." Mrs. Gardner immediately swallowed all the words she was about to say as soon as she heard that Makayla was not feeling well.
