The black Bentley stopped at the door of the police station.
Farr, who was sitting in front, helped Wendy open the door. Wendy seemed to be awakened. He used the strength of holding the door to let her weak feet stand firmly on the ground.
She looked up at the solemn police badge and felt as if her throat had been choked.
Four years ago, she was also arrested wrongly and sent to the police station. After that, she had visited Yolanda with Charlie before, but she never thought that one day Charlie would be brought here.
Her heart was bewildered like a boundless wilderness, the wind blew through, and there was only dry and cracked ground left.
She didn't know what to do or what had happened. But undoubtedly, her man was in danger.
Along the way, Wendy had been holding her phone tightly, as if she could squeeze water out of it.
There was a read text message on top of the screen from Charlie, a short one of only three words.
"Don't be afraid."
Wendy felt pain in her eye sockets.
According to Farr, the time when the message was sent was supposed to be when he was taken away by the police. The image of her being kidnapped the last time appeared in her mind. He was full of wounds at that time, obviously, his situation was worse than ever, but all he could think about was her.
With the three words, Wendy could almost see the deep eyes of that man.
Charlie...
"Is the one who was brought back really the president of the Hogg's Group?"
"It's Mr. Hogg, who's always on the news and magazines. God, it's unbelievable. He's one of the men the girls in Ice City want to marry the most!"
It's normal that some people were brought in and out of the police station every day, but someone like Charlie could cause a sensation, even though the news was deliberately suppressed from above. Especially some intern police officers, were all discussing in private.
"He seems to be involved in a business case, and it is said that he secretly lost a huge amount of money from his partner, the amount is frightening!"
Another police officer mysteriously jumped in. "There's a rumor. I heard that he fell out with his father and wants to retire from the Hogg's Group to settle down overseas. This is actually an internal burglary. Who would have thought that he would be discovered..."
Gilbert, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, shook his body when he heard those voices.
Both his younger sister Donna and his wife Ella came forward to support him at the same time. The latter whispered with concern, "Master!" When he received the shocking news brought by Donna, he was feeding his favorite fish in his study and knocked over the fish tank. He was so shocked that he immediately rushed over from Hogg's Mansion.
Gilbert raised his hand, wanting to say that he was fine. However, his mood fluctuated greatly and for a moment, he did not make any sound.
"Do you believe that he is that kind of person?"
Just then, a soft female voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Gilbert couldn't help but turn around. He saw Wendy, who was standing a few steps away and seemed to have just entered the room. There was not a trace of blood on her face. Although she looked very calm, her tightly clenched hands revealed the fear and anxiety in her heart.
"Wendy!" Donna walked over and patted her on the shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Gilbert was not surprised by her appearance. After hearing her question, he almost instantly shouted, "Of course not!"
"He is my son, how can I not know what kind of person he is!"
Gilbert's chest rose and fell slightly. This he said a little higher in volume, drowning out the whispers of the officers.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
