LOGIN“You’d better think carefully about whether you still want to keep this job.”Truthfully, Grace had not wanted to bring that up.But if she did not use this approach, she felt the officer would never speak honestly to her, nor would he take her request seriously at all.Grace had always been used to holding authority and pride. How could she possibly tolerate something like this happening?“Ma’am, please calm down. This is a police station. I already explained to you earlier that matters like this have to be submitted level by level for approval.”“It’s not realistic to think that just because you make a request today, it has to be granted immediately the next second.”The officer replied flatly, “If you’re willing to wait, then wait here properly. If not, there’s nothing I can do. You’re free to leave whenever you want.”“You…!”Grace was so furious she could barely speak, glaring at the officer with wide, angry eyes.But the officer simply straightened his back calmly and said nothin
After all, when Tessa had been brought in, she truly had committed a crime. And someone had specifically instructed them afterward that no visitors were to be allowed to see her casually in the future.At first, the superior found the order somewhat strange. Once someone was detained, family visits were usually normal procedure.They were a police station, not some place that locked people away forever without letting anyone see them.Besides, even criminals still had basic rights, including the right to meet with family members.Originally, the superior wanted to push back on the matter a little.But once Lucas personally stepped in, the issue quietly been suppressed without further discussion.Seeing his superior remain silent for so long, the officer grew increasingly confused.“Sir, what should I do about this? That woman is still sitting in the lobby waiting for our response. Judging from the way she’s acting, this won’t be resolved easily.”Just thinking about it gave the officer
Grace let out a cold snort and was just about to speak again, but the officer ignored her completely and turned to leave.Grace muttered irritably under her breath, “What’s wrong with young officers these days? They handle everything so carelessly.“And besides, I’m here to see my own daughter. Isn’t that perfectly natural? They can’t even handle such a simple request?”Grace felt increasingly frustrated.But there was little she could actually do about it now. The Walton family had already begun declining little by little.If she really wanted to go after this officer, it would probably cost her a great deal of effort.In the end, Grace could only comfort herself silently.Once Walton Corporation returned to its peak, she could deal with these matters later.After all, there was no need to rush. Once certain things were started, they had to be carried through to the end.And everything that had happened before still remained vivid in her mind.Most importantly, Aurora was not someone
Grace had already made up her mind. Today, she had to see Tessa no matter what.She needed to speak with her properly and find out whether Tessa truly wanted to come out.And if she did, then she had to cooperate with Grace instead of continuing to struggle alone inside prison.Once Grace made a decision, she was determined to see it through to the end.Otherwise, she would never let the matter go.Besides, all she wanted was to see her daughter. What problem could there possibly be with that?But the police still refused her request.“Ma’am, please calm down first. This isn’t something I can decide on my own.”The officer continued patiently, “This matter has to be reported through multiple levels. It’s not something I can resolve with a single sentence, and it’s not as simple as you think. “You’ll need to wait a while. It’s not as though I can let you see your daughter just because you asked.”Grace completely lost what little patience she had left.She kept feeling that Aurora was
“Officer, I’d like to see my daughter, Tessa Walton.”Grace spoke earnestly. “Please make an exception and help arrange a visiting time for me.”The officers looked somewhat bewildered. Just what kind of important figure was Tessa?Someone influential had already instructed them earlier that under no circumstances was she to be released.At first, they had assumed Tessa would spend the rest of her life in custody.But now her mother had suddenly appeared?The officers could not understand why someone had suddenly come looking for Tessa.After all, for a very long time, no one had asked about Tessa’s condition at all, as though she had already been completely forgotten.So now that someone had unexpectedly shown up, the officers were honestly surprised.“I’ll need to report this to my superiors first.”The officer did not hide anything. After all, they had been specifically instructed to keep a close watch on Tessa. No matter who came to see her, it had to be reported first.It was not
Even though Grace had once dominated the business world in her younger days, time changed everyone. She changed far too much over the years, even her mindset was no longer the same.On top of that, her two daughters had turned against each other, and one of them was even the child of her romantic rival.Just thinking about it felt unbelievable to Arnold.And yet Grace had endured all of it for so many years and somehow managed to survive through it.If Tessa had not ended up in prison or committed such serious mistakes, Arnold never would have imagined that child could become like this.At this point, all Arnold hoped for was that Grace would not do anything foolish.After all, Aurora was her only biological daughter—her most important child.If Grace truly became enemies with her only daughter, then wouldn’t she be far too pitiful in this world?Thinking of that, Arnold could not help sending Aurora a message.[Miss Aurora, I know that as a housekeeper, I probably shouldn’t be saying
She could not put all the weight of everything on herself.If that were truly the case, would Lucas not be exhausted?Because of this realization, Aurora chose to stand by Lucas’ side, thinking things through for him in everything she did.Aurora knew very well that Lucas had already given so much;
“Madam Grace, hurry up and respond to her. Miss Aurora is waiting. You can tell she’s getting anxious. Honestly, you two are just too awkward with each other.”Hearing that, Grace and Aurora exchanged a look, both visibly embarrassed.In the end, they turned their heads away at the same time, each r
Back then, Yvonne felt little gratitude toward Michelle.She even took it for granted, believing that since she was their only daughter, her parents had no one else to be good to.But now, her perspective had completely changed.Just as she had said herself—Michelle was her own person first, and onl
Seeing this scene, Grace nearly lost her footing.She had not expected that after stepping away from the group’s management for so many years, the reporters would become this brazen.Back when she was still in charge, she had never seen journalists behave so outrageously.The sight left her complete
