Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO -
Chapter 560
Chapter 560 An Utter Failure
As soon as Linda got back to her room, she shed all pretense. How could Selena even leave the police station? This is ridiculous! Pierre couldn't have possibly been powerful enough to secure her release from the police force in Yucaria, say less of getting an acquittal!
Linda was clenching her fists. Selena can't live! Her being alive is a threat to my current position! She must die! No, this can't go on. I need to come up with a solution.
At the same time, the Oberlins also caught wind of Selena's acquittal and subsequent release. Bradley had been pacing up and down in his room in a frenzy as soon as he heard the news. When Jane heard the noise he was making, she hurried downstairs. "Daddy, what's wrong?"
"Selena got acquitted and released!"
"What? That's impossible!" Jane couldn't believe her ears. How could Pierre and Selena pull off such a feat?
The Oberlins themselves might have been able to pull something like that off, but both Pierre and Selena were not locals, so the law enforcers in Yucaria couldn't possibly have given them any leeway. "Jane, your plan failed miserably!"
"Daddy, didn't you tell me back then it was brilliant?" Jane was feeling wronged.
"It's all your fault!" Bradley yelled at her. "Great! Now my scrolls are lost forever!" He was sitting on the sofa with his head under his hands while stomping his feet. My scrolls! I don't think I will be getting them back anymore!
"Daddy, I am skeptical about how things turned out. Neither Pierre nor Selena are of any importance in Yucaria, so Selena should be as good as being convicted. Why is it that she ended up being acquitted?" Jane's mind was buzzing. Just when she thought she would be able to sit back and relax, Selena was released. "Did Jason help them out? Yeah, that is very likely the case!"
Other than Jason, she couldn't think of anybody else who would help Selena. However, she didn't expect someone as proud as Pierre to beg for Jason's help to rescue his wife. Is this true love that is only heard of in fairytales? The thought of it was enough to make her burn with jealousy.
Back in the hotel, an odd atmosphere filled the living room as Selena stood beside the sofa in an upright posture, while her three kids stood beside her in utter silence. Meanwhile, the elderly man who was sitting on the sofa had gray hair, which matched nicely with the white military uniform he wore. Despite his age, he seemed sturdy. As a military serviceman in Yucaria, his face showed a stoicism that befit his identity, but he seemed benevolent nonetheless.
Compared to the elderly man, Pierre seemed almost indolent as he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed while scrolling on his phone. When he glanced at Selena, he asked, "Why are you standing there?" Selena didn't know who the elderly man was, so she gave Pierre a look. It wasn't until then that he realized he hadn't made an introduction. After walking up to Selena, he told her, "He is my maternal grandfather, Admiral Evan Moody. Grandpa, she is my wife, Selena Yard, and these are our three kids." Pierre tapped on their heads as he spoke.
As soon as she heard Pierre's introduction, she gawked at him in awe. He said the old man in front of me is his maternal grandfather, who also happens to be an admiral! Gosh, are my ears playing tricks on me?
"Hello? You heard me?" Pierre knocked on her head slightly. "Sit down."
Admiral Evan also nodded his head. "Please take a seat."
It wasn't until then that Selena sat down. Even though she was still in a daze, she soon realized that Francesca Moody was indeed a stage name, and the woman was also of mixed blood. However, she didn't look like a foreigner at all, so the public always overlooked the fact that she was multiracial.
