Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Uncle Policeman, Save Me
Chapter 75 -75 Uncle Policeman, Save Me
From leaving the Patterson Family, Scarlett Jennings finally took the little ginseng doll to Delilah Woods’ house.
As soon as they got upstairs, they saw two thugs blocking the door of the Woods Family, yelling at the door.
“You two ladies think hiding at home will save you? Who gave you the guts to sue in court? The best thing for you to do is withdraw the lawsuit quickly, or I’ll make sure you never have a good day again!”
There was no need to ask; they were undoubtedly sent by the Quigley Family.
Though Isolde Garrison was involved in bullying, considering she was not yet eighteen at the time, even if convicted, the sentence wouldn’t be harsh, potentially only probation.
But Micah Quigley was involved in raping an underage girl, and with the massive online uproar, the court certainly wouldn’t handle it perfunctorily.
The Quigley Family had initially smeared Delilah Woods online with hired trolls, fearing she might blame Micah Quigley for her miscarriage.
Nobody expected that after being out of her mind for a year, she would suddenly recover, and her first move upon recovery was to sue him.
The Quigley Family gritted their teeth against Delilah Woods, even accusing her online of being cold-hearted, claiming that over the past year of her paralysis, their son had always been thinking of her, only to receive such retribution.
The Quigley Family tried to guide public opinion once again, but this time, with the Jennings Family’s legal team backing Delilah up, and Donovan Jennings also stepping in to help, internet users weren’t swayed by the Quigley Family’s narrative. Instead, they criticized them for deliberately beautifying a crime.
Harm done in the name of love was still harm.
Some even expressed that being favored by that family’s son was truly an unfortunate fate.
Scarlett Jennings had been following all of this online, so she wasn’t really surprised at the current situation.
The two thugs stood at the door cursing for a while longer, then turned around and saw a girl as beautiful as a fairy standing behind them.
Their eyes widened with interest, then narrowed with a sinister glint.
“Sister, do you know this family?”
Scarlett Jennings glanced over the two, her eyes cold. “I do.”
The smiles in their eyes deepened instantly.
They had seen Delilah Woods. The little girl did look pure and lovely, no wonder she could provoke the Quigley Family’s young master’s beastly nature.
Their employer had previously instructed that if the girl remained stubborn, they should let her experience other men. Maybe she’d have no energy to stir up trouble afterward.
The two thugs came with this in mind today, and seeing Scarlett Jennings only intensified their wicked intent.
If this fairy-like girl also knew the family, so much the better; they could lock her up and have fun together.
If to blame, she could only blame her poor choice of friends. How unfortunate her friend had provoked the Quigley Family.
With this thought, one of them laughed and approached Scarlett Jennings.
The other stood where he was, chuckling as he called into the house,
“If you don’t open the door, don’t blame us for playing with your friend first.”
The malicious tease in his voice was enough to make anyone feel queasy just hearing it.
Inside, Delilah Woods had been listening to the commotion outside, huddled with her mother, clutching her phone tightly, waiting for the police to arrive.
But she thought she heard Scarlett Jennings’ voice, and recalling Master Jennings, her expression changed.
Without much thought, she grabbed a stick nearby and opened the door.
Beside her, her mother grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed out.
With the door open, Delilah Woods raised the stick, ready to fight the thugs outside desperately.
She already had been weak once, and this time she would not be weak again.
Her mother had the same thought, raising the knife with a fierce expression.
“You…”
Before the words could escape, they were stunned by the scene outside.
They saw Scarlett Jennings standing unharmed, while at her feet, the two thugs lay flat on the ground, their faces filled with pain and terror, yet they seemed pinned down by something, unable to move.
The weight seemingly pressing on the two thugs vanished in an instant, and they were easily pulled up by the police officers.
The two thugs hadn’t yet reacted when a young officer sneered.
As expected, they were lying.
See, they got up, didn’t they?
Without another word, they led the men away.
As the reporter of the incident and a person involved, both Delilah Woods and Scarlett Jennings naturally went to the police station.
Apart from convicting the two thugs, it was crucial to catch the mastermind behind the scenes to fully protect the safety of the Woods Family mother and daughter.
Scarlett Jennings believed she could handle everything herself and then inform the Jennings Family’s lawyers to ensure all the Quigley Family members got involved, preventing further trouble.
Unexpectedly, right after she left with the officers to head to the station, the chauffeur immediately called Donovan Jennings.
Inside the Jennings Group.
As the company president, Luca Jennings was confirming the upcoming project progress with several research and development departments.
Meanwhile, Donovan Jennings, as one of the heads of the R&D department, was reporting on work.
Suddenly, his phone on the table rang.
Everyone in the meeting room instinctively looked at the phone.
Luca Jennings frowned even deeper.
He despised lack of focus during meetings. Not abiding by the basic rule of silencing phones during meetings, even if it was his son, Luca Jennings would reprimand him.
However, under Luca Jennings’ stern expression and the tense atmosphere, Donovan Jennings calmly picked up the phone, not only not hanging up but also answering it directly in front of everyone.
Luca Jennings’ face darkened even more; nearby, Blaise Jennings was already prepared to diffuse the situation.
But then, they saw the originally composed and smiling expression on Donovan Jennings’ face suddenly turn cold after hearing the report from the caller, and even those beautiful eyes narrowed threateningly.
