Chapter 639
Chapter 639
The next day, when he was still sleepy, Frederick was woken up by a series of noises. He moved his hand subconsciously, and he didn't open his eyes until his grip felt empty. When he got up, he found that it was still early, but Alicia had already dressed up. After getting up, he took off his pajamas and said.
"Up so early? Where are you going?"
She was shocked. The things in her hand fell to the ground, and she quickly stuffed her things back into the bag. Then, she ran over and said. "Did I wake you up? Well... I'm going to the hospital!"
She had injured someone, so how could she fall asleep? She woke up several times at night, but she didn't get up because it was too dark. When it was getting bright, she couldn't return back to bed!
Seeing the guilty look in her eyes, he felt sorry for her. He raised his hand and took the bag in her hand, which was obviously packed in a panic as it was unzipped.
"There's no need to go! The death of that kind of person is not worthy of sympathy!"
"Huh? Hubby, how can you say that?"
As the saying went, although a person's ability was great, it was better not to get involved. Although she also felt unlucky and depressed, when she thought of the family, she still couldn't get over it. As a result of her actions, she had probably ruined a man's future, his life, and his family's life. She couldn't help but think of herself, who had suffered for a long time.
No matter what, she would try her best to make up for it!
Subconsciously, she wanted to take her bag back. She leaned to one side, but he put the bag back on the table and said, "You're too kind. You're the one who's being blackmailed!"
"Don't..."
At first, she was not really happy with him trying to stop her from visiting them, but the two words suddenly came into her mind. She looked up and raised her voice.
"Being blackmailed?"
What did he mean? Could it be that that person's injury was fake? Or could it be that he wanted her to hit him on purpose?
There was a buzz in her brain. She couldn't believe it. She didn't understand how everything had happened. At that moment, she was even more confused and conflicted.
However, in an instant, her anxious and uneasy heart suddenly reached rock bottom.
Frederick pulled her back to the bed and placed her on his lap.
"I'll help you deal with it! You don't have to think nor care about anything! You should rest at home these two days and relax. Don't go to work for the time being! They are rogues, so it's hard to say if they'll call you, harass you, come in your way or make trouble or not. If you meet them, don't pay attention to them! If you want to go out of the house, I'll arrange a few people for you in case they bully you!"
"Is what you said true? Are they..." Was she really being blackmailed, or did he twist the truth for her peace of mind?
With a drifting look in her eyes, he understood what she was thinking about. He brushed her nose and said.
"Whether it's blackmailing or not, we've already paid for all the medical expenses! I'm not short of money. It's not a big deal! If it is our responsibility and we are at fault, we should take care of his whole family for a lifetime!"
However, if they wanted to be ignorant and still try to blackmail them, they would be courting death!
"If we're found guilty, we won't shirk the responsibility! Chet went to investigate, and there'll be results in two days! Don't worry, I won't make a big deal out of it! If it really is blackmail, your kindness will only satisfy their greed, and there will be another victim! Instead of pandering to such people, it's better to donate the money to charity and be philanthropic!"
Alicia nodded, feeling relieved as she said, "Well then, I'll listen to you!"
They were not in a hurry anyway, so they should just wait and see!
"Don't be afraid when you meet any trouble in the future. Let me know as soon as possible!" He stroked her hair and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead with comfort.
"Alright..."
She rubbed his neck, then nodded. At that time, she had been scared out of her wits. The scene was almost like a dream, and she had forgotten how to respond.
In the past few years, whenever she encountered trouble, she could only rely on herself. She had forgotten that she was no longer alone! She had him and her brother!
"I'll remember and not panic in the future! I haven't seen Grandma for some time. I'll go and stay with her for a couple of days!"
"Alright! Lay still for a while. After breakfast, I'll take you there!"
Turning around, the two of them went back to sleep.
In the following days, things continued to develop as they had expected. At first, the other party claimed that they were "relying on their power to bully others". However, it turned out that the other party were actually shamelessly blackmailing them!Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
In the beginning, he just wanted to teach the greedy victims a lesson. Unexpectedly, after a thorough investigation, what he said actually came true. Looking at the news, Frederick couldn't help but smile with self-mockery.
There were all kinds of people in the world!
At such a young age, that man
would rather break his leg to
blackmail someone than find a job? The whole family was unemployed, and they had a history of doing similar things that they specifically picked women to run into! Tobully the faint-hearted and fear the stout-hearted, that man was really seeking death!
As soon as Frederick made a phone call to Alicia, there was a knock on the door, "Come in!"
Then, Chet hurriedly walked in, "Frederick, there's good news!"
He nodded and motioned him to sit down. He then said, "I already knew it! Their old records were dug up, and the whole family is jeered at like street rats. The news reported it as well..."
"Well, I've already paid half a million
dollars in accordance with the police. It's over! They made a scene. They probably never expected that they would be crippled this time and that we, the rich, would actually unwilling to pay the expenses to
eliminate the problem. Now, the ent
probably snickering over the half a million dollars they gained! They cheated a few people before us and gained at least a hundred thousand dollars and at most a million dollars! One family was said to have sold their house after being blackmailed, and now, they're counter-suing them! People always have to pay for what they do. This family is over! I'm not talking about this!" Content

Frederick looked up in confusion, and Chet said.
"Marcus, that private doctor has already been sent back to his country! I found out that Frieda has booked a flight back next month!"
His tone was obviously a little flurry, Chet also added.
"That's Mrs. Randolph! By the way,
she also booked a room at a
five-star for one month! It seems that they don't plan on staying for a long time. She's probably coming back to solve the problem this time! After all, the police's notice is a powerful enough deterrent! What shall we do now?" Content belongs

"As soon as we confirm that she has boarded the plane, leak the news to Kieran! For the rest, let's just watch the fun!" As if he had thought of something, Frederick added.
"Is there any news from Danica recently?"
"After getting out of the detention centre, she went home and hasn't left! However, I found a strange thing. The Randolph family seems to have gained a lot of money recently!"
The implication was that they seemed to have gotten money again. At that point, Chet was also rather puzzled. Who would be willing to give alms to a family that had gone bankrupt and who had no source of income?
