Chapter 24 A Lesson
Cooper lowered his eyelids and stopped talking for a while.
He was waiting.
Amelia sneered while looking at Cooper from inside the car.
At that moment, Alan walked over with two envelopes in his hands.
His lips curved into a sneer.
Alan looked inside the car, glancing at Amelia’s and Freddie’s faces. Then, he waved the two envelopes at
them
Seeing Alan’s movement, Amelia and Freddie both froze.
“Come and get it yourselves.”
Alan raised his eyebrows at them.
“What the hell are you up to?” Amelia murmured unpleasantly. However, seeing Freddie getting off the car, she had to follow.
They took the envelopes one by one from Alan.
“Please take a look. And go ahead messing up with us as long as you finish reading them.”
Alan held his arms across his chest, looking at the two with a sneer.
Freddie had a change of look. He already sensed something ominous.
Although Amelia was unsatisfied with Alan’s tone, the two opened the envelopes as they were told.
There were merely a few pieces of paper.
Nevertheless, their faces turned as white as a sheet after glancing at the papers.
Freddie’s hands were shaking badly as if the pieces of paper weighed like stones.
He got cold sweats all over his forehead with a frightened look in his eyes.
The next second, Freddie knelt, with tears or sweats emerging out of fear.
He begged, “Chief Drennon, I am sorry. I know it is all my fault. It’s the last time. I promise!
“Please plead with Mr. Lockwood on my behalf and let me off. From now on, I will definitely behave myself!” Alan looked down upon Freddie and said, “Let you off this time?”
He sneered, “Freddie, read the pages carefully. How many times did you make mistakes? Is any of your crime trivial?
“An easy one like embezzlement and hash one like manslaughter. People from your branch did surprise me. “Considering your seniority, Mr. Lockwood intended to save one of your sons. Unfortunately, you don’t seem to appreciate his favor. Freddie, how dare you speak up on Amelia’s behalf?
“How dare you assume Mr. Lockwood owes you that favor?”
With a smile on his lips, Alan’s eyes were full of hatred and coldness instead.
Freddie fell to the ground on his ass and regretted it terribly. Amelia was the one at fault. Because of this woman, he wouldn’t have…
Thinking of this, Freddie stared at Amelia resentfully.
At this time, it was hard to protect himself. As a result, Freddie had no intention of speaking for Amelia.
As for Amelia, she also tensed up after reading the pages.
The content was all about the wrongdoings of her and the Hart family over the years, including those that hurt the Lockwood family’s benefits for their own good.
Those crimes were either immoral or illegal.
All came with irrefutable evidence.
A random piece of them was enough to put them in jail for lifelong.
Amelia also felt panic in her heart.
Mr. Lockwood now had a basis for accusing them. Thinking of this, Amelia looked guilty.
