“Mrs. Lowell, before Ms. Sherritt was taken away, she insisted that you must save her,” Javier added.

After hearing this, Rachel nodded. “Of course, I’m going to help. I just can’t figure out who’s trying to sabotage me from behind the scenes.”

Once she finished speaking, Rachel looked at Javier. “Help me get in touch with the police chief.”

“Understood.” Javier nodded in agreement.

The following day, at Thornton Corporation, as soon as Madelyn arrived at the company, before she even had a chance to settle into her seat, her assistant Cyrus approached her with news. “Ms. Thornton, it seems like someone is trying to bail out the person arrested by the police.”

“So soon?” Madelyn was utterly astonished upon hearing that. Janessa was apprehended just last night, yet her aunt is already making moves to bail her out so quickly. Hmph, you wish!

“Did you allow her to be bailed out?” Madelyn asked Cyrus as she looked at him.

Cyrus replied, “Not yet. After hearing the news, I promptly asked the director to delay the proceedings.”

“Not bad at all.” Madelyn nodded, then stood up. “Let’s go. We should personally pay a visit to the police

station.”

“Understood.”

Subsequently, the two set off, with Cyrus following behind Madelyn.

Half an hour later, at the police station, when Madelyn strode in, the you can’t just walk in here. Are you here to report a crime?”

fficer tried to stop her. “Hello,

“It’s neither of those. I’m here to see your chief,” Madelyn uttered.

“Sorry, but our chief doesn’t have the time to see you,” the police officer said, clearly uncomfortable.

“Is that so?” Upon hearing these words, Madelyn sneered. “I’m here to see your chief for a very important matter. If you hinder me and delay the process, don’t say I didn’t warn you when your chief scolds you.”

Upon hearing these words, the police officer seemed somewhat startled.

After all, no matter how courageous he was, he wouldn’t dare to undermine the chief’s authority.

In the end, he had no choice but to nod. “Please wait a moment.”

Then, the police officer went inside to notify his chief.

At that time, the police chief, Lucas Shepherd, was dozing off in his office. When someone woke him up, he still had a bewildered look on his face, asking, “Who’s looking for me?”

“I’m not sure, but she was adamant about seeing you. She mentioned it was something very important.”

At that moment, Madelyn spotted Lucas and was the first to greet him. “Chief Shepherd, it’s been a while.”

Upon hearing that, Lucas looked up, and his gaze fell upon Madelyn. Instantly, his expression shifted. “Oh, I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be you, Ms. Thornton!”

Lucas flashed a flattering smile, then stepped forward to inquire, “May I ask what brings you to our office?”

Madelyn chuckled lightly, exhibiting an air of confidence. “Chief Shepherd, let’s dispense with the formalities. I’m here to see you because of the woman you apprehended last night.”

The woman we apprehended last night? Upon hearing these words, Lucas turned to the police officer beside him. “Who was the woman we apprehended last night?”

The officer next to him whispered, “Chief Shepherd, it’s a woman named Janessa Sherritt. She’s the one about to be released on bail.”

“I see. So, it’s her.” Lucas nodded knowingly, then turned his gaze to Madelyn. “Indeed, there was a woman named Janessa.”

“Indeed, she’s the one I’m looking for,” Madelyn asserted. Then, she subtly glanced at Lucas. “This matte. is a bit complicated. I wonder if you have some time to chat with me in private?”

Hearing that, Lucas didn’t dare to refuse. He immediately pointed to his office and said, “Let’s discuss this matter inside.”

Madelyn responded with a casual smile before heading inside.

“Ms. Thornton, please have a seat.” Upon entering, Lucas was exceptionally courteous as he pulled out a chair for Madelyn.

After all, he couldn’t afford to offend Madelyn.

Madelyn was naturally difficult and temperamental, and on top of that, she had Lockhart Group’s backing.

Lockhart Group’s CEO was a big shot. As a mere chief of a local police station, how could he afford to offend the former?

Madelyn, without any hesitation, sat down immediately.

Following that, the two began to converse.

“I heard that your police station plans to release Janessa today, right?”

Upon hearing that, Lucas nodded repeatedly. “Indeed, but I received a message last night instructing me to release her today. Could it be that you’re a friend of Janessa?”

Friend? Upon hearing these words, Madelyn couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She quickly clarified, “Chief Shepherd, you’ve misunderstood. Janessa and I are not friends in any way.”

“What’s your relationship, then?” Lucas asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Enemy.”
