My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009 Arrested For Corruption

However, the thought of her sister's unnatural death caused by the Haddock family and the former's only son locked up in prison made Kate feel horrible.

At the end of the day, Dixon was her nephew.

Meanwhile, Lochlan was thinking about something else. It's been so long. Surely there's a result already?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly received a notification from Twitter.

He tapped on it subconsciously. The moment he saw the content of the piece of news, his lips curled into a sinister smirk.

Well, well, James. I bet you never saw it coming.

“Why are you smiling so creepily, Lochlan?” Kate eyed her son dubiously, finding his expression all too foreign.

She could not help but feel a chill run down her spine.

“Nothing. It's just that Field's in big trouble. That's why I'm happy.” Lochlan showed Kate his phone screen. The moment both Kate and Sienna glanced at it, they both saw the latest piece of news.

It read: The mayor of Lake City, James Field, is currently being investigated for corruption and bribery. The amount involved in this case is at least thirty million. In 2019, James established Drieso's demolition headquarters and took up the position of the project's commander-in-chief. Due to it being an extremely profitable project, he made a profit of fifteen million by collecting money illegally. Starting from February 2020, James made a profit of fifteen million by bribing officers. An investigation is still ongoing to find the officers involved.

Kate was dumbfounded. As far as she knew, James had a good reputation and lived a simple life. He did not look like someone who would dabble in illegal affairs.

“Mr. Field is involved in corruption?”

“Yes. He's been arrested already.” Lochlan put away the phone calmly, looking not the slightest bit surprised.

He then turned to Sienna and said, “Ms. Oates, I'll go look into it now. You may leave if you have other things to attend to. If not, you can stay here with my mom to keep her company and to calm yourself.”

“It's fine. I'll wait for you.” Sienna nodded.

At this juncture, she had no other choice but to rely on the Frasers' help.

In the meantime, Fae was about to turn on the television at the Field residence but found it to be broken.
