Chapter 290 Lambert Group in Danger

After taking a shower, Yuna took out the things found at the scene of the accident from her jacket pockets, hesitating for a few seconds. She turned on the computer and contacted the person.

She typed a line of text: 'Today, Wesley took me to the scene of the accident at Fontine Gardens. I wonder, why do you act against Lambert Group?'

That person replied: 'He took you to investigate this matter? Wesley now believes in you?'

Yuna hesitated for a moment before saying: 'Not exactly, he still won't let me know about some things.'

-'Get his trust as soon as possible!'

Looking at that line of words, Yuna suddenly became confused. She did not know how to reply, and soon there was a new message in the dialog box.

-Yuna, I don't need to teach you. You know what it takes to get the trust of a man as quickly as possible.

Yuna suddenly recalled his approach just then-that was her best chance to use the so-called fastest method.

But he was Wesley. If he wanted a woman, he could just say it and there would be thousands of beauties lining up in front of him.

It was more accurately to say that he wanted to tease more than he wanted her.

But why didn't she push him away in the first place? In that case, she wouldn't be blamed even if she punched him.

Perhaps subconsciously, she also wanted to use that method to gain his trust.

Yes, it must be like that! No romance!

Looking at the last sentence in the dialog box, Yuna felt upset and shut down the computer.

After calming down for a while, she reopened the dialog box and there was a new message.

-'Yuna, we are not meant to be, I don't want to emphasize it anymore.'

Yuna bit her lip and changed the topic: 'Why do you act against Lambert Group? I told you that my grandmother has a relationship with Joanne and her brother.'

-'The things between me and Brian, I will tell you if necessary.' 'Now do your thing first, and keep an eye on Wesley.'

Yuna did not reply for a long time, and another message was sent over.

-'You found those things at the scene, but you didn't tell Wesley, so you are still on our side. Yuna, you made the correct choice. Don't forget who saved you that year.'

Seeing the last line of words, Yuna suddenly lost the interest of talking. She then completely shut down the computer and laid it on the bed, then rolled over and over again for a long time to fall asleep.

She had a dream.

In the dream, she didn't know why she was on the road; she was in a hurry, and she lost her way while walking. She chose a junction randomly and went on, but she was caught and tied to the criminal framing.

She had picked the wrong way anyway...

She woke from the nightmare with sweat over her head. The room was already bright, So Yuna rushed to wash her face and went down the stairs; Wesley had been sitting in the dining hall, and she hurriedly walked over, saying, "Morning, Brother Wesley."

He replied without lifting his head, "Come with me to a place after breakfast."

"Okay."

Yuna quickly settled the breakfast, and followed Wesley to leave the villa. They were going to investigate people who had been interrogated by the police.

The reason why they were so anxious was because that day Lambert Group's share price had fallen in less than an hour after the stock market opened.

The collapse accident of Fontine Gardens went viral on the network, and the impact was even greater than Lambert Group being reported for tax evasion. The construction of Lambert Group were all suspended for investigation, and the company had already fallen into a credit crisis.

At the same time, Lambert Group's real estate sales were in a stagnant situation. No one cared; the worst thing was that some of the owners who had just made the down payment, were asking to have their money returned.

One of the owners posted on the online forum, and the title was generous and resonating-"I have worked hard for half a lifetime, and I don't want a home that will collapse at any time."

He asked, who could guarantee that other properties developed by Lambert Group would not collapse? In the unlikely event that such an accident happened again, it didn't matter if the house was gone, but the family who lived there would be gone like those construction workers at Fontine Gardens. Could Lambert Group pay for that?

The post touched a lot of people, causing a crazy reprint, and a checkout frenzy was lifted.

The media rigorously followed the news of the collapse of Fontine Gardens, and financial reporters analyzed the current situation of Lambert Group everyday.

Therefore Joanne still learned from the newspaper that Lambert Group was stepping into a crisis step by step; even if Brian did not tell her anything so that she would not be worried.

Those days, Brian was very busy. He was always clean but he was so tired that sometimes he came back in the early morning, falling asleep as soon as he fell to the bed, and still frowned in his sleep.

Since Joanne was Brian's wife, she could not investigate things on regards to the huge tax evasion or the accident investigation of Fontine Gardens. She could only understand the progress of the case through Captain Turner.

What she learned was that all the news were very unfavorable to Brian and Lambert Group, and everybody was talking about how the collapse accident was entirely Lambert Group' doing.

In addition to Captain Turner and Shawn, some colleagues in the police station began to stay away from Joanne, intentionally or unintentionally. Some people even sneered at her when they saw her.

"Selling a house of 40 or 50 thousand for a square meter was originally a blood-sucking action, and they dare to make a jelly-built project. Now, the company is going to close down, and the retribution is coming!"

"The house that my brother-in-law bought, he has to drive carefully through the community, not to even mention to live inside."

These words were obviously said to Joanne, so she could only try not to going out of the office, pinning all hopes on Wesley, and hoping that he could find clues that were beneficial to Lambert Group.

But when she got up early that morning, Brian told her, "Wesley didn't find anything."

Disappointment spread like a wild weed in the heart, but Joanne still gave Brian a smile. "It doesn't matter, check it again. Our professor said that starting from the beginning, you will always find the key evidence."

Brian did not say anything.

He knew about Wesley. If he couldn't find anything, then nobody would.

Joanne also realized that from his silence. She looked down and thought for a moment. She suddenly thought,"Even if we can't find evidence to prove Lambert Group's innocence, we can send Rowdy to prison! Don't forget. He is a murderer."

She acted like she was taking the advantage of the last hope, held his hand nervously and enthusiastically. "Leave it to me, Captain Turner will help me. You can focus on the company's affairs."

Brian said with a smile, "This time, Rowdy probably needs to go to the police station frequently, and there will be no time for him to start shooting at Lambert Group. I said that we will not always be caught unprepared by him."

Joanne asked suspiciously, "What did you do to him?"

Brian raised his eyebrows, and acted calmly. "Nothing, I just ruined his business and made trouble for him."

He said it easily, but Joanne knew that Brian must have given a fatal blow to Rowdy.

After going to the police station, it turned out that what she guessed was right.

She passed the interrogation room, and ran into Rowdy who had just came out from the inside with a look of anger. When he met her, he grabbed a cigarette and smiled to her. "Why are you still working here? Is it because Lambert Group already has such a big trouble? Brian couldn't even afford your salary?"

Joanne raised her lips and smiled a little, and told the truth with in one sentence, "You are the one who lost more, right?"

Rowdy was stunned, and his eyes quickly went cold. But very quickly, he acted as if he were the winner again.

"The police will probably keep an eye on me for the next couple of days, so I can't move freely. This has a great impact for me rooting in Arlington. But as long as I handle things well, I can make a comeback at any time. However, Brian can't."

"It's not your position to say that," Joanne did not hide the taunt in her tone, "Moreover, how can a person who can't even settle his postion question his ability?"

After saying that Joanne was going to walk inside but her wrist was caught by Rowdy.

He sneered coldly. "Do you think that Brian can win? Wait to see the news tomorrow to see... what I will do in the future."

Joanne didn't want to listen any more, and she struggled a bit. Unexpectedly, he actually let go of her hand; he smiled and walked out of the police station.

A car quickly came for Rowdy and the door was opened. He noticed the woman in the car. He sat up, then poured himself a glass of wine and smiled. "Miss Rosalyn, why are you so early?"

Rosalyn was going to slap his face, and she was intercepted by him halfway. She glared at him. Don't you want Joanne? Why are you dealing with Lambert Group?

"How can I get Joanne without dealing with Lambert Group?" Rowdy poured another glass of wine and pushed it to Rosalyn, and raised a toast to her. "Relax, I will give you a chance to please Brian. At that time, Joanne would have already left him, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to sneak in."

"What do you want exactly?" Rosalyn asked, "And, what do you want to do with Lambert Group?"

"I don't know," Rowdy put down the wine glass, and raised a playful smile with his lips, "Better yet, what can I do to Lambert Group? It depends on Brian's ability."

Han Ruoyan smiled coldly. "You can win against him by playing shameless means. But in business, you are no match for him!"

"So, I use shameless means to deal with him in business" Rowdy smiled quite calmly and continued, "You see how frustrated he is right now because of me?"

"You!"

Rosalyn tried so hard to control herself, so that she didn't splash the wine on his face.

She calmed down after a while, and said with normal tone, "Forget it, I can't control what you want to do. As long as you remember our agreement, don't hurt Brian."

Rowdy's eyes were deep as he spoke, Rest assured, what I want is not his life.

What he wanted was Brian watching the people he loved leave him one by one, and the suffering from all of that to make him feel that living was no better than to die!

Rosalyn had no time to say anything, and suddenly coughed a few times. The beautiful face became distorted, and her whole body curled up in the corner and felt uncomfortable.

Rowdy knew why she was like this. He took her bag and opened it, found the smoke and lighter in it, and lit a cigarette for her. "Why do you have to endure this torture? Take it."

"No," Rosalyn shook her head, holding herself tightly, feeling cold and hot at the same time, firmly saying, "No!!!"

Rowdy was not in a hurry, just looking at her with a cigarette in his hand, watching her tremble because of feeling hot and cold at the same time. He watched her teeth trembling, and uncomfortably clutching her hair.

He opened the cigarette case and looked at it. He snorted. "You've smoked a few. Why do you even have to pretend to be strong in front of me? I will give you more after you finish them."

Rosalyn's eyes were red. She looked at him with hatred and took away the cigarette from his hand.

Rowdy smiled as if he knew it would be like how he assumed, and gently patted her back.
