It seemed like he had to choose the lesser of two evils.

Upon having these thoughts, Lucas quickly nodded in agreement toward Madelyn. “Absolutely, Ms. Thornton. You are correct. I will definitely follow your instructions.”

After all, if he offended people on Janessa’s side, the worst that could happen was that he wouldn’t get paid.

However, if he were to offend Madelyn, or, to put it more seriously, if he were to offend Lockhart Group, the consequences were foreseeable. He would undoubtedly face severe repercussions.

“Very good.” Madelyn nodded in satisfaction at that point. “Just as they say, a wise man knows how to adapt to circumstances. With your level of awareness, it’s no surprise that you’re able to attain you’re current position, Chief Shepherd.”

After she finished speaking, Madelyn stood up. “That’s all I have to say, Chief Shepherd. I believe there’s no need for me to remind you of what needs to be done next.”

“Indeed.” Lucas nodded. What else could I possibly do? Other than following your instructions, do I really have any other choice?

“I’ll leave this matter in your hands, then. If anything is unclear, feel free to reach out to my assistant at any time. He’ll guide you on what to do.” With that, Madelyn stood up and left.

As Lucas watched her graceful figure retreat, the frown on his countenance deepened.

In the afternoon, at Ingram Manor, there were hardly any housekeepers to be found in the expansive residence.

Only a butler was meticulously tending to the flowers and plants in the garden.

The once chaotic yard, under his meticulous grooming, surprisingly transformed into a remarkably neat and attractive sight.

“Daniel, your skills are getting better and better.” When Rachel stepped out and saw the butler’s skill in tending the flowers and plants, she couldn’t help but shower him with praises.

Daniel chuckled sheepishly. “Mrs. Lowell, you flatter me too much. I’m just doing my job, finding a bit of joy in trimming the plants and flowers.”

Upon hearing that, Rachel nodded with satisfaction. “Not bad. When you’re free, do more of these odd jobs to keep my house looking clean and pretty.”

“Understood.” Daniel nodded in agreement.

Just then, the manor’s door was abruptly swung open, and in walked Javier, impeccably dressed in a sleek,

black suit.

“Mrs. Lowell, there’s been an incident,” Javier said in a cool tone.

“What happened?” asked Rachel.

“Impossible!” Upon hearing that, Rachel immediately retorted, “Chief Shepherd and I go way back. Surely he wouldn’t deny me this small favor.”

Javier’s face had also turned a bit sour by now. “Mrs. Lowell, I have actually looked into it. This very morning, Madelyn personally visited the police station. It seems like she was discussing matters related to Janessa.”

“Why is it that woman again?” A wave of inexplicable anger surged within Rachel after she heard that. “Why can’t this woman just stay out of trouble? She keeps messing with my affairs over and over again. Does she think the Ingram family is to be trifled with?”

Javier continued, “Mrs. Lowell, this Madelyn has always been at odds with Ms. Sherritt. It seems that she’s trying to kick Ms. Sherritt while she’s down. Moreover, I seem to have heard that this Madelyn appears to be insisting on having Ms. Sherritt put behind bars…”

Toward the end of his sentence, Javier cast a sidelong glance at Rachel.

If Janessa were to face imprisonment, Javier would be the first to object. Thus, Rachel could lend a helping hand and save Janessa.

deeply hopeful that

“This is truly outrageous!” Hearing that, Rachel became even more incensed. “I didn’t understand before why Janessa was so set against Madelyn. Now, it’s clear to me. That woman is truly ruthless!”

Despite her anger, Rachel managed to maintain her composure.

Although Rachel came from a wealthy family, Madelyn was supported by Lockhart Group.

Rachel didn’t have the courage, nor did she see any reason to provoke the formidable Lockhart Group.

“Mrs. Lowell, what do you plan to do, then?” Javier asked.

Rachel suddenly fell silent, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, she said, “For now, it’s best we don’t make any hasty decisions.”

“But Ms. Sherritt—” Javier suddenly panicked.

Rachel immediately shot him a glare. “There’s no need for you to say more about Janessa’s current situation!”

“Understood…” Javier could only fall silent.

Still, deep down, he was filled with indignation. Am I supposed to just stand by and watch Janessa get thrown into jail?

If that was the case, he surely wouldn’t let Madelyn off the hook. He just wouldn’t.

At that point, Rachel added, “After all, Janessa is my niece. Do you really think I could bear to see her in prison? However, given the current situation, all we can do is patiently wait and see how things unfold. We have no other options. What we can do now is to keep a close eye on Madelyn’s movements and decide our next move based on the situation.”

“Yes, I understand.”

So, for the following few days, Javier closely monitored the situation at the police station.
