Chapter 867: A Clean Sweep
Mrs. Goldman lowered her eyes, patiently waiting.Monica Usher stared at her without blinking, always wanting to discover what made her different, but unfortunately, the other party hid it too well.
"Lydia Ingram isn’t coming anymore, is she?" Monica Usher took the tray from her hand, indeed feeling a bit hungry.
"I really don’t know." Mrs. Goldman replied honestly, "We are only responsible for your diet and living arrangements, and to make sure you don’t leave here; we can’t inquire about anything else."
Monica Usher turned and walked into the room with the tray, slamming the door shut.
Mrs. Goldman was at least relieved; she would at least eat a little.
The same night.
Lydia Ingram was in her villa, wearing silk pajamas, having just taken a shower, and now meeting guests.
A black SUV was parked in the yard.
"Didn’t I say?" She sat on the sofa, her expression a bit cold, "Unless it’s necessary, just call."
"President Ingram, the situation is urgent, it’s hard to explain over the phone." The man sitting on the opposite sofa assured, "Rest assured, I was especially careful on the way here, wasn’t followed."
"Get to the point." Lydia Ingram lit a cigarette, feeling a bit gloomy.
The man said, "Justin Kingston is frantically collecting evidence of our smuggling and drug trafficking. It’s said he’s already found solid evidence and plans to take down Martin all at once. It won’t be long before big moves happen."
"What a big mouth." Lydia Ingram was unimpressed, "Does he really think he’s Riventhal’s savior? The embodiment of justice?"
"He’s also investigating the protection behind you. This time he seems serious, mobilizing 80% of his elite subordinates to focus on this. So, you must prepare for the worst."
"I know he’s investigating me." Lydia Ingram’s eyes narrowed slightly, blowing out rings of smoke, "Didn’t expect he wants to take it all down in one go? Haha, let’s see if he’s strong enough to lift this pot."
Even as she spoke, Lydia Ingram felt reassured inside, "I’ll make him obediently hand over the evidence. If he really wants to mess with me, he won’t have it easy either."
An evil plan was taking root in Lydia Ingram’s mind and was about to be put into action.
Emerald Cove.
Justin Kingston was still in his study, reviewing the evidence against Lydia Ingram, a thick stack of documents in front of him, realizing this person was far worse than he imagined!
The quantity of drugs sold alone was enough to sentence him to death, not to mention he was also involved in murder?
Too many big figures were connected to Lydia Ingram. Who was his protector? Justin Kingston had his suspicions but lacked irrefutable evidence.
Investigating, tirelessly pursuing the truth.
As night deepened...
In a newly acquired villa on Wutong Road, Monica Usher sat by the bedroom window, having finished all the food on the tray, indeed feeling a bit hungry.
Just after she ate, the drug craving hit her, her whole body convulsed, her throat tightened painfully, and the scenes before her eyes kept overlapping.
At this moment, a car drove into the yard, the headlights shining into her eyes.
Monica Usher, feeling terrible, held onto the armchair and crouched down. Were the overlapping car shadows outside Lydia Ingram returning?
Soon, the car lights went out, and someone entered the living room.
Before long, there was a knock on the door, "Ms. Usher, Mr. Ingram is here to see you."
It was the voice of the maid from earlier, and Monica Usher, suppressing her discomfort, forced herself to her feet and opened the door.
Lydia Ingram turned on the light, closed the door casually after coming in.
"Are you having a craving?" She offered her a cigarette, "No effect on the fetus, want one?"
"You shameless!"
Monica Usher was full of resentment, she grabbed a cup and poured some water, swallowing a few gulps, feeling quite uncomfortable.
