Chapter 455
Sam could not help but resent Madelyn.
Madelyn knew that Anna’s right leg was disabled and that Anna could not stand steadily. But Madelyn chose to stay by the door and did not help Anna to the restroom
Anna had been involved in such a big accident. The back of her head suffered a grave injury, and she might remain in a coma for the rest of her
life.
In addition, the trending topic incident that Madelyn fabricated had caused the Fowler family to slander Jane and force her to leave the family. Madelyn took advantage of the Fowler family’s trust in her and thoroughly humiliated them.
It was difficult for him not to **********Madelyn
“Alright, Sam. It has already happened. We can’t dwell on the past. We must think of a way to resolve this and move forward.”
It was not that Henry wanted to remain calm. But he had to force himself to calm down.
Jack had already been through a lot. The Fowler Corporation and the Fowler family no longer had their leader.
If Henry, as the eldest son, lost control of himself at this juncture and showed a trace of panic in front of his younger brother…
The Fowler family would have lost its pillar of support. Everything would be over. Their enemies would be even more likely to take advantage of
the situation
Fowler Corporation had grown to this stage. Many people would be secretly going after a cash cow like it. Countless people had already expressed their interest, both **********and in secret. According to the saying, defending a title was more difficult than winning it. Henry was the future successor of Fowler Corporation, and Jack and Anna had nurtured him with all their efforts. He had already understood this saying since he was a child.
Right now, all eyes were on Henry.
Everyone looked at him with anticipation.
They wanted Henry to tell them what to do next.
Under everyone’s gaze, and after careful consideration, Henry spoke.
“How about this? I’ll go to the company and settle the rest of the matters first. You guys, stay in the hospital and look after Dad and *********. As for Eastshel… Dwayne, call my trusted aide and tell him the current plan to acquire that piece of land in the suburbs has been put on hold. Now that something big has happened here, we can’t rush things. Let’s stabilize our foundation first. We’ll still need more time to arrange our overseas projects”
Henry’s words were equivalent to giving up on the Eastshel project they had spent a year preparing for.
Moreover, now was the best time to undertake that project.
Finding the right opportunity again would be infinitely more difficult if he gave it up now.
However, he had no choice… The Fowler family was now involved in such a huge mess. As the eldest son, Henry could not possibly leave Crucsia for Eastshel at this time and continue with his original plan.
If something did happen to Anna while Henry was away, Henry would regret it for the rest of his life. Besides, Jack’s ***********state could not handle managing the entire Fowler Corporation. Only Henry could do it.
The Fowler family’s enemies were circling them like sharks. If they took advantage of this predicament to steal his home, what was the point of Henry developing those projects overseas?
At this *********, Henry could not help but think of Jane.
Henry thought, “Master… If it were you, you would make the same choice under these circumstances, wouldn’t you?”
“We got it, Henry”
Hearing Henry’s orders and seeing that he did not seem too affected, Peter and the others could finally heave sighs of relief.
At first, they were worried that Henry would be affected when he returned to Stormton City and saw how Jack and Anna were.
If even Henry could not take it, they would not know what to do.
Whenever the Fowler famdy fell into such a critical situation, Henry was the only person they could count on to stand up and shoulder
everything
Among the Fowler family’s children, Henry had always been their guardian angel.
It was true when they were young. It was also true now and even more so in the future.
They were grateful that they had someone other than Jack and Anna.
They still had Henry He was reliable and could stand up at these critical **********.
Henry said apologetically, “I’m sorry, brothers I can only leave ********and Dad to you at such an important time. I won’t rest assured if it were anyone else…”
Dwayne patted Henry on the shoulder. “Don’t say that, Henry You’re the one who’s bearing the brunt for us. We all know that. It’s just that we’re not capable enough and can only do so much to support you. However, we’ll take good care of ********and Dad. Henry, don’t worry. Go to the Fowler Corporation. We’ll watch your back. Don’t worry about ***********and Dad.”
Henry bit his lip and nodded repeatedly. “Dwayne… I’ll leave everyone in your hands.”
Sam and Peter said in unison, “Go, Henry.”
Just as Henry was about to leave for the Fowler Corporation…
Suddenly…
He heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
A man in a police uniform quickly arrived before Henry and the others.
“Excuse me. Which one of you is Jack Fowler?”
Henry took a step forward. “I’m his eldest son, Henry. May I ask why you’re looking for our father? Are you here because of the accident that happened to our mother?”
The police officer shook his head. “We’re here to arrest the Fowler Corporation’s chairman, Jack. We now suspect that Jack is related to multiple bribery cases and has accepted bribes from someone. We’ll need Mr. Fowler to return to the police station to cooperate with us for the investigation.”
“What did you just say?”
Henry and the others were shocked. “No… This is impossible. Officer, there must have been a mistake. How could my father be involved in a bribery case? You should know that my father is a patriotic entrepreneur. He has done so many charitable things. His character is upright and meticulous. It’s impossible that he would do such a thing.”
The police officer fell silent briefly before saying. I have indeed heard about Mr. Fowler’s charitable deeds, but the law emphasizes evidence above all else. We came to arrest Mr. Fowler because we had gathered sufficient material evidence and wilness statements. Please don’t interfere with our investigation. If Mr. Fowler is innocent, the law will surely give Mr. Fowler a fair judgment.”
Material evidence?
Witness statements?
Henry and the others were still confused.
However, they could not stop the police from showing them the arrest warrant.
At this ********…
The door of the ward opened.
Jack’s body trembled. He refused to be held up by Aaron and Quinton.
Looking at the police standing by the door, Jack took a deep breath. His cloudy eyes gradually became clear.
“I knew it… I knew this day would come. I don’t know who planned this in secret, but I will cooperate with the investigation and tell you everything I know.”
Henry and the others did not understand the meaning behind Jack’s words.
However, they vaguely sensed that… Jack might indeed be related to the bribery case the police mentioned.
The police officer walked to Jack’s side. “Come with us, Mr. Fowler.”
“Alright I have one last request before I go with you. Could I trouble you to let me speak to my sons?”
“Of course. We’ll wait for you at the elevator.”
The police turned around and left after giving Jack their permission.
Henry could not help but ask, “Dad, what is going on? How can someone like you accept bribes? I don’t believe it.”
