After hanging up the phone, Linda still couldn't believe it.
Madge didn't know what was going on, so she asked with concern, "Mom, what's the matter? What happened?"
After Linda retold the contents on the phone, Madge's reaction was the same as Linda's. She widened her eyes in disbelief and cried out.
"What?"
Madge shook her head and still didn't believe it. "No, it's impossible!"
"I don't want to believe it either! But he's an insider of the police station, so there is no way he would give me false information!" Linda's expression was solemn. She looked at the time on her phone again and said, "I'm afraid they'll let Charlie go tomorrow morning!"
"How could it be? Mom, I can't figure it out!" Madge continued to shake her head, "No one can pull him out of it except us!"
Linda said slowly, "The Hong Kong side withdrew the case ... "
"Withdrew the case?" Madge was surprised and her expression was very agitated. "Is that old man crazy or out of his mind? He lost such a large sum of money and the person who wanted to have Charlie in prison the most should be him. Why would he withdraw the case?"
The expression on Linda's face was no better than Madge's at this time. She said in an exasperated voice, "How would I know? Not only was the case dropped, but I heard that that old man is going to be Charlie's surety and bail Charlie out!"
Madge took a step back and directly sat on the chair.
"I still can't believe it. Why did it suddenly become like this!"
Linda also couldn't figure it out either. However, she suddenly thought of something, and said gloomily, "However, I seem to have heard that that woman, Wendy Lim, went to Hong Kong!"
Hearing this, Madge's face suddenly turned red, but because of anger.
Wendy?
Who she thought she was?
Madge thought everything was foolproof, and all she needed to do was to wait. Unexpectedly, in the end, she got nothing! At this time, Madge was no longer as proud as before in the bedroom. She was all gloomy.
She was extremely angry and depressed. She didn't care if the thing next to her hand was Kim's beloved porcelain vase, she directly raised her hand and smashed it on the wall.
Immediately, with a crisp sound, it broke, and her hatred for Wendy deepened.
In the Hogg's Mansion at seven thirty in the morning, under the cover of vibrant morning light, the haze in the villa was still there.
Gilbert didn't have much sleep because of getting old, and he couldn't sleep well these days because of his son. He woke up before dawn. After lying on the bed for a few hours, he finally got up.
He didn't have much appetite either. After taking a couple of bites of breakfast, he returned to his study.
The servants had already changed another fish tank, and the precious fish swam happily inside. Just as they were putting fish feed into it, Donna pushed open the door and came in.
She didn't even change her shoes, and her high heels hit the floor tiles, making a crisp sound.
Before Gilbert frowned and reprimanded her for not being polite, Donna said in a loud voice, "Charlie is fine!"
"Charlie is fine?" Gilbert exclaimed in shock.

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 😩...
