CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 190: REPAY KINDNESS, AVENGE WRONGS

"Since my dad returned the bribe, there should be bank transaction records. Mom, tell me dad’s bank card number and password."

"Alright, I’ll go get it for you."

The mother and daughter went to the bedroom.

Lucy Eaton downloaded the bank app on her phone and logged in to check last year’s transaction records.

She found only records of money being deposited into the account, but no records of it being returned.

Liora Hughes said incredulously, "That’s impossible, that’s impossible, I watched the secretary return it with my own eyes, how could it not be there? Lucy, trust your dad, he really doesn’t dare to be corrupt. He says he’d lose sleep if he did something with a guilty conscience. Your dad isn’t that kind of person."

"Mom, I don’t doubt dad for a second, I’m just thinking, to erase the transaction records, Arthur Bennett doesn’t have that much real power, unless the President..."

"Are you saying that your dad’s issue isn’t just Arthur Bennett’s doing, but also the President’s?"

"Yes, what they want isn’t just for dad to step down, but to go to prison and strip him of power, taking this opportunity to win over those loyal to dad. Usually, dad wouldn’t tell you much about official matters, so their resentment must have been building for a long time."

"Then is there any way out for your dad? He only takes his salary, his subordinates don’t get any ’benefits’ following him, and since it’s the President and his Highness, how can his subordinates dare to testify against them?" Liora Hughes said, tearing up again, "What can we do?"

"Mom, with Jacob Green and me, dad will be alright."

"By the way, does Jacob Green know about this too? What did he say?"

"He believes in dad too, he insisted on coming back with me, but I didn’t let him. He can help from the shadows."

"That’s right, not letting him show his face is best. If the Presidential Mansion knows Jacob Green is your husband, who knows what they might do."

The housekeeper called from outside the door, "Madam, Miss, there are quite a few people at the house."

"Let’s go and see." Lucy Eaton took her mother’s hand and left the bedroom.

Many political figures she had only seen on the news, but in life, this was the first time Lucy Eaton had seen most of them.

Seeing the mother and daughter come out, the group started chattering noisily.

"Madam, is the Prime Minister’s issue true?"

"What’s the current progress? Did the Prime Minister confess?"

"How did he suddenly get formally accused?"

"I believe the Prime Minister is innocent, isn’t he always very honest in every way?"

"Yes, I think so too."

"By the way, such a big thing happened, didn’t Miss’s husband come back with her?"

The conversation shifted to Lucy Eaton, and all eyes fell on her.

Grandma Baker wiped her tears and asked, "Yeah, where’s your husband, Lucy Eaton?"

"He wanted to come back with me, but I didn’t let him."

"Now of all times?!" Grandma Baker said angrily, "Your father-in-law’s in trouble and he doesn’t come back, what kind of man did you find?!"

"I said, he really wanted to come back with me. He also feels it’s inappropriate not to come back, but I insisted he stay away. I’ll handle dad’s issue." Lucy Eaton glanced at the crowd, "My dad was a clean official. If others don’t know, you all do. He’s been framed, and as for who framed him, I know in my heart. My dad is in this situation, and if you’re worried about being implicated, I understand and won’t blame you. But if you help those who framed my dad further defame him, then I’m sorry, from now on, we’re enemies. I’m a person who returns kindness and avenges wrongs."

Hearing this, everyone felt the person speaking didn’t seem 24, but 42. The voice’s aura and confidence weren’t something someone inexperienced could express.

Even Grandpa Baker was stunned.

Within two minutes after her words, the large group had all left.

The living room quieted down. Lucy Eaton knew that as an only child, she was her parents’ support. Her father was in big trouble, and she would do whatever it took, using any means, to save him.

"Lucy, do you have a way to save your dad?" Grandpa Baker asked.

"She doesn’t have a damn way." Grandma Baker sneered, "Everything she says sounds nice."

"Listen to mom, it sounds like if Lucy can’t, then you have a solution. Anyway, Lucy is Jackson’s only biological daughter. Of course, we’re relying on her. As for mom, stop saying cold words at this time."

Liora Hughes’s words irritated Grandma Baker, "If you and Jackson hadn’t taken her back, Jackson might not have gotten into this trouble. She’s a jinx."

"Enough!" Grandpa Baker scolded, "I usually let you say whatever you want, but listen to the nonsense you’re saying now. How is Jackson’s trouble related to Lucy?"

"I just think it’s because she came to this family that Jackson got into trouble!"

"I know grandma is biased against me, but I didn’t expect it to this extent." Lucy Eaton’s expression was indifferent, "However, fortunately, I’m very clear-eyed about family relationships. Whoever is good to me, I’m good to them. Whoever isn’t, even if they’re elders, I won’t necessarily treat them with respect. Since grandma dislikes me so much, please leave our home now. I need to discuss my dad’s issue with mom and grandpa."

"You’re kicking me out?" Grandma Baker was already upset about her son’s troubles, and now she was so furious by her words that she almost choked on her breath.

"Didn’t you say you couldn’t stand me? If that’s the case, why stay here?"

"You’re telling me to leave, so I won’t! What can you do about it?"

"I can’t do anything to grandma. If you won’t leave, then sit there and don’t interrupt." Lucy Eaton stated in advance, "Regarding my dad’s issue, I hope you two keep it secret from Mason Baker if you indeed want my dad out."

"Why keep it from him?" Grandpa Baker didn’t understand, "When he heard about your dad, Mason was very anxious."

"You favor Mason Baker so much; if I tell you the truth, you might think I’m lying. Grandpa, did you know Mason Baker’s half-sister Stellan Quinn works in the Presidential Mansion as Laura?"

"I saw it reported in the news."

"Mason Baker got kicked out of his police captain position for entering the Presidential Mansion. The purpose of meeting Stellan Quinn there might not be known to you. Because Autumn Fletcher was sentenced to death, and my return, Mason Baker is no longer my dad’s son, so the two of them hate me. Stellan Quinn has an affair with His Highness, and Mason Baker is secretly helping her to become the Great Princess Consort and then deal with me. The people who put my dad in this situation are His Highness Arthur Bennett and the President. Stellan Quinn and Mason Baker both belong to His Highness, so do you need to keep it secret from him?"
