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

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

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

After all, Galton was the chief of the Ravenshore Police Department. Anyone capable of reaching that position was never simple.That was why Lucas believed it was always better to avoid unnecessary conflict. Being polite to someone like Galton would never hurt him, and in certain situations, it also meant having another useful set of eyes watching things for him.With Lucas’ current position, countless people were already keeping their eyes on him.One more ally meant one more path forward.In Lucas’ eyes, that was never a losing deal.Galton spoke awkwardly, “Mr. Carter, I felt it would be better to ask for your opinion first. You previously instructed us that if anyone came to visit Tessa, we needed to inform you immediately.”Lucas’ interest was instantly piqued.A moment ago, he had still looked indifferent.“And who came to see her?”“It’s… the chairwoman of Walton Corporation. Madam Grace.”The moment he heard the name, Lucas’ eyes widened slightly.He imagined many possibilitie

Even her attitude remained calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing.Seeing Grace like this, Galton actually felt a trace of admiration.He nodded lightly. “Yes, ma’am. I’ve already heard about what happened here at the station.”“I don’t have any other demands. I only want to see my daughter.”Grace spoke with both emotion and reason.“This is a police station. Yes, you detain criminals here, but criminals are still human beings. They still have rights. Surely, they haven’t lost even the right to see their own family?”Grace spoke steadily, clearly believing her argument made perfect sense.Galton pretended to consider it for a moment before replying seriously, “Ma’am, I think you’re right. In that case, we can arrange for you to meet your daughter shortly.”He then turned to the nearby officer. “Go notify Miss Walton. Follow the standard procedure and arrange the meeting for them.”Galton gave the officer a subtle look.The young officer had still been somewhat resentful ear
