Chapter 552 Selena Was Arrested

Unlike Astoria, foreigners could be easily incriminated under Yucarian law. Since Linda had some connections in Yucaria, and the Jensens would not let things slide, she was certain that Selena would soon be given the death penalty. In the meantime, Linda would simply wait to be married into the Murray Family.

On the other hand, the Oberlins also caught wind of Selena's arrest. After being shut down by Pierre, Bradley was feeling frustrated, so the news brought him great joy, which lifted his spirits significantly. Jane was also extremely elated when she saw the news. Running into her father's study with the newspaper in hand, she cried, "Daddy! Daddy! Have you read the news? This is great! Selena Yard was arrested!" At that moment, she was literally on cloud nine.

While casually sipping on his wine, Bradley was beaming. "Yes, my darling. I've already read the news."

Sitting down on her father's lap, she chirped, "Daddy, I am so happy! Selena finally got what she deserved! I always knew she was a b*tch, but I never expected her to hook up with Scott! I suppose Jason had somehow misjudged her character." Since the incident would serve to sever Jason's affection toward Selena, Jane was undoubtedly happy about it.

"Would she date Scott though? I don't think that sly woman would have her eyes on Scott. I'm inclined to believe that there must have been some sort of misunderstanding." Unlike his daughter, Bradley wasn't so focused on relationships.

"Daddy, what do you mean? Are you thinking of helping Pierre to rescue Selena?"

With a sinister smile on his face, he replied, "Yeah. How else will I be able to get the scrolls back? What say you, my sweetheart?"

"Daddy, but... but I don't like the idea! Are the scrolls more important than your own daughter?" Jane would like to believe that she had the most important place in Bradley's heart.

"Both you and the scrolls are precious to me!" After giving Jane's nose a pinch, he went on to say, "Although Pierre Fowler might be the most influential man in Astoria, his influence doesn't reach Yucaria. Therefore, he will come to us for help, which means he will offer up the scrolls in exchange for our assistance."

Overjoyed, Jane said tentatively, "By that, you mean..."

"That's right! We will rob him of both his possessions and the woman he loves! Hahaha!”

Jane burst into laughter while sitting on her father's lap. "Daddy, you sure are the best! You're so thoughtful!"

Snickering, he declared, "Nobody ever goes against me! I have a target marked on Pierre's back now! I will make sure he pays for what he did!"

Suddenly, Jane seemed to have realized something. "Daddy, I think my dearest Jason might be willing to offer Pierre his assistance."

"Why would he, my dear?"

The smile on Jane's face vanished. "I don't know. I could never shake off the feeling that he likes Selena, so I'm worried that he might disrupt our plan. I will have to take precautions." "I will leave that to you then, my dear."

Jane nodded to show that she was determined to prevent Jason from meddling, or else her father's plans would fail. Where should I start though? I can't tell Jason, as he will definitely throw a tantrum. He already said such harsh words last time, so I have to make sure that I don't cross him anymore.

Therefore, Jane went to the hotel where Pierre was staying, just in time to bump into Pierre himself, who was in a hurry to leave. On the other hand, he didn't want to waste time dealing with Jane, as he had more pressing things that he needed to handle.
