Chapter 24 A Lesson

Cooper lowered his eyelids and stopped talking for a while. novelbin

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 envelope s 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 my self!” 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 surpris e 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 th at 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.

However, Amelia would not be as timid and useless as Freddie. She started to cry and wiped off her te ars. She whined, “Chief Drennon, I knew I shouldn’t have committed those crimes. But we really had no cho ices. “I had to keep the business running and take care of lots of stuff at the price of sacrificing justice, even though we were unwilling to.”

Alan sneered, “By sacrificing quality and leading more than ten people to injury and death?

“Or forcing someone that made him jump off a building to kill himself?

“Or taking the bribe for your own good and taking advantage of your power to bully people?

“Or forcing young men into prostitution? For all of these, you call it a last resort?”

Alan looked at Amelia with contempt. “Madame Lockwood, if I were you, I would return home and do what Mrs. Hart is supposed to do instead of approaching Mr. Lockwood.”

Finishing his words, Alan gave them the freeze and left.

Cooper also said indifferently, “Bye, fellows.”

Cooper then walked away.

The robots raised their riffles again, with the dark muzzles pointing at the three in defense.

This time, Amelia and Freddie completely lost their arrogance.

Cooper watched the three going away through the surveillance camera before relieving his stern look.

“Cooper, how did they get in?” Alan asked.

Cooper looked gloomy. “Freddie used to be authorized to enter the Northernville Manor. But he is bann ed. from now on,” he said.

Alan thought for a while and brought more documents to Cooper. “These people are all guilty. Cooper, please filter them and cancel their permits to Northernville Manor if they were previously authorized.”

Cooper took the documents and nodded in a solemn manner. “Roger that. I will handle it right now.”

When Alan was back in the living room, Isabella was about to go upstairs with Ricky while Draxton sat a

“Mr. Lockwood, what should I do with those guys?” Alan was referring to those members from branches

Draxton watched Isabella and Ricky enter the bedroom on the second floor. Then, he replied, “Do what you are supposed to do. Hand over t them.

“The Lockwood Group does not have to be flawless, but we never hold greedy people.”

“Yes, Mr. Lockwood.” Alan seemed excited. “That’s what you always want to do, and now you can take advantage of Freddie and Amelia.

“From now on, people would hate the two families.

“Mr. Lockwood, even though Amelia bears the surname Lockwood, she belongs to the Hart family. We h

Draxton replied, “Leave Amelia alone as long as they stop messing up with us. If not, it is still none of our business. Just

Alan smiled at once. “Great idea. Over the years, Amelia has committed those wrongdoings in the name over.”

After the discussion, Alan thought of Isabella again.

“Mr. Lockwood, I was about to say it yesterday. Miss Thompson slapped Sophia really hard, acting even

“As far as I am concerned, Miss Thompson is not as gentle and innocent as she looks. She was actually bold!”

Draxton glanced at Alan and asked, “You got a problem with her?”

Alan turned into a solemn look. “Why would I? Mr. Lockwood, I am only telling the truth.”

“Alan’s opinion makes sense to me.” Standing aside, Martin spoke up as well.

Draxton glanced at them. “I knew you guys could not understand why I kept her.”

Alan and Martin froze. Indeed, they did not understand.

Apparently, Mr. Lockwood used to resent Isabella as well.

Feeling the serious gazes from his subordinates, Draxton suddenly smiled. “It’s simple. As I saw her in person, I stopped hating her that much,” he said.

“We thought it was because of Ricky,” Alan said hesitantly.

Draxton went silent for a second. “Of course. Ricky is also cute,” he said.

After these words, Draxton’s lips curled up, and he revealed a gentle smile.
