Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 

As she watched Ned faint before her eyes, Ingrid’s face drained of color. 

She turned to her assistant, her voice shaking with fear as she ordered, “Get help! Quickly!” 

The assistant director hurriedly brought in several staff members and lifted Ned into a vehicle with the film crew’s stretcher. They drove to the nearest hospital. 

Angeline had barely said goodbye to Anne before she had to do the same to Henrietta. 

Amid her grief, she forced herself to cheer up. 

She knew that Anne’s death was different from Henrietta’s. 

Henrietta’s death involved school violence and sexual assault. Convicting the perpetrators would be a long process. Until those vile demons were properly punished, Henrietta could not rest in peace. 

The bullying incident at River Town High School had a significant impact, attracting, widespread public attention. 

It was especially so when many women rose to defend Henrietta’s dignity after her death subduing the spread of the video and organizing the “Protect Her” campaign. It sparked a wave of female solidarity online. 

The authorities acted quickly, and the case moved forward. 

The day after Angeline left the hospital, Trevor went to see her. 

Trevor acted on Ned’s behalf and met with the River Town High School bully, Michael, and his parents. He cautioned Michael to watch his words. 

Michael’s parents proposed a condition that Trevor become their son’s attorney. If they could reach an out–of–court settlement with Henrietta’s family, they wouldn’t ask for money or allow Michael to implicate Tommy. 

The other parents knew Trevor’s reputation as a prominent lawyer and also entrusted their 

cases to him. 

When Angeline came down from her dormitory, she saw Trevor, the head of Fletcher Corporation’s legal department.

She wasn’t surprised in the slightest. Ned would spare no effort when it came to matters concerning Ingrid. 

Tommy was Ingrid’s cousin, so it was natural for Ned to be concerned about him. 

Angeline stepped out with a stern expression and wrapped her coat tightly around herself. 

Trevor smiled as he said, “It’s been a while, Ms. Emmerson.” 

“Is this about Tommy?” she asked. 

Trevor adjusted his glasses. 

“I represent the kids from River Town High School now.” 

Angeline paused, then laughed bitterly.

“Let me guess, Ned has already instructed you to exclude Tommy from the entire the esteemed head of Fletcher Corporation’s legal department is now defending those 

wretched demons.‘ 

“That’s right, Ms. Emmerson. If you’re willing to settle it privately, my clients can offer compensation,” Trevor replied calmly. 

Angeline’s eyes turned red with anger as she asked, “Is Ned paying them off?” 

“Ms. Emmerson, we’ve known each other for a long time. Your sister has passed away. Instead of prolonging this lawsuit for months, or even years, and stirring up more controversy, it might be better to resolve this sooner. Let the deceased rest in peace,”
