When Quintin leh the detention facility. Xavier was waiting for her at the door.
and Xavier drove. “How’s Kylie?”
“She’s calm and
“Lasked about the specific situation. There are many ways to reverse the case. As long as we can find on what happened, Kylie will be safe. By the way, did you tell Mr. Hayden Kylie can’t be released on bail.
“I could get through, Xavier answered.
“The on the plane Quintina asked.
“No. Jason has placed him under house arrest overseas, Xavier said.
Qui turned to look at Navier.
“Ievuseless for you to look at me like that. In the Hayden family, Jason still has the final say. No matter how capable Ethan is be can’t go up against the head of the family” Xavier said.
Quintina spoke, Without him, it’ll be difficult for us to look into Kylie’s case
“Leopold is trying to find a way to find Ethan. Hopefully, it will work, Xavier said helplessly
Quinina made a small sound of assent before she suddenly thought of something and picked up the phone to make a call.
“Quintina” The voice on the other end of the line said,
Zola, where are you?” Quintina asked.
“I’m about to fly back. Something’s happened to Kylie. I’m so anxious.” Quintina could feel Zola’s anxiety through the phone.
“Icalled to talk to you about this. I’m now Kylie’s lawyer. 1 just met Kylie to understand the case… Quintina said.
“How’s Kyle?” Zola asked in agitation before Quintina could finish.
“She’s okay, but she can’t be released on bail,” Quintina answered.
“Fuck, why not? Zola demanded.
Quintina spoke again, “Listen to me first.”
“Okay” Zola also felt that she was too impulsive.
“There are many loopholes in the case, but currently, we might not be able to investigate much. The only possibility is Ethan Quintina told Zola.
“I called Ethan. He should be back by now” Zola answered.
“Your grandfather has placed him on house arrest overseas.”
“What?” Zola flew into a rage.
Quintina spoke again. “When you’re back, you should go home and see what’s going on. Then, try to think of a way to contact Ethan. I’ve caught up with the case, so I’m just waiting for him to return so we can make the next arrangements.” “Alright, I understand,” Zola quickly said. “I’m boarding the plane now. I’ll return to the Hayden family when I reach Beliey. Wait for my update.
Zola hung up.
Quintina put down her phone, looked out the window, and remained silent.
“I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about Kylie’s case, Xavier teased.
“Lawyers are responsible for their clients, Quintina answered.
“Why do I feel you have a good impression of Kylie?” Xavier asked.
“She is indeed a good friend to have.” Quintina did not deny it.
“I don’t know what kind of magic Kylie has, but both men and women are attracted to her. Ethan doesn’t get close to any women, but even he fell for her. Xavier spoke.
“Don’t have any designs on her.” Quintina reminded him.
“Quintina, what kind of person do you think I am? Xavier was furious. “I can’t have designs on my friend’s woman!”
What woman don’t you have designs on? Quintina thought, the words at the tip of her tongue. However, ultimately, she did not say anything.
Chapter 162
When the cat arrived at the Vanderbilt Group, Quintina spoke before getting out of the car, “I’ll just drive into the garage myself”
“Let me use your car, Xavier sand bluntly
Quintina pursed her lips. Where are you going? I’ll drive you there”
“Get out of the cat. Xavier urged.
Quimina gritted her teeth and got out of the car.
Quintina wiched as Xavier drove away in her car.
Quatina only had one car and she didn’t feel safe taking a taxi when she worked late
“Navier never thinks about others Quintina thought..
Zola rushed back to the Hayden family residence in the afternoon
Zola went straight to Jason’s study angrily.
“Zola”
Zola’s arm was grabbed by a strong hand.
Zola looked at Leopold angrily. “Let go of me!“
“Calm down. I know you want to talk to him about Kylie. If you rush in now, you won’t solve anything
“She’s not your friend. Of course, you think nothing can solve the problem. After all, you never planned to solve it at all You’re just afraid I’ll provoke my grandfather, make the entire family unhappy, and implicate you! Leopold Cavanaugh, I know that you don’t feel a sense of security in this family as an adopted son. I also understand that you want to please my grandfather so that you can have a place in this family, but please don’t be so selfish and build your happiness on the pain of others.”
Zola’s voice was very loud.
Zola seemed to be shouting every word.
There were still many servants in the villa. All of them were so frightened by Zola that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Leopold did not have time to explain before an elderly voice came from the study. “Leopold, let her come in.”“
Zola shook off Leopold’s hand. The moment Zola pushed the door open and entered, she said coldly, “Don’t touch me
With that, Zola walked into the study and slammed the door shut.
In the study, Zola said bluntly. “Grandpa, what did you do to Ethan?” “He’s my biological grandson. What can I do to him?” Jason smiled. Jason felt it was easy to deal with a young girl like Zola.
“Why are yo
you keeping Ethan overseas? Why aren’t you allowing him to come back?” Zola asked. “Ethan is engaged now. He shouldn’t interfere in other people’s matters.” Jason answered. “You were the one who forced him to get engaged. He doesn’t even like Stella.” Zola argued. “Relationships can be slowly nurtured…” Jason answered.
“I don’t want to discuss matters of the heart with you. In any case, as far as you businessmen are concerned, everything is like doing business, and everything is about benefits. It’s useless to talk to you about it. I just want to ask you, as a good citizen and a person with status and responsibility in society, are you supposed to sit back and watch people in distress? Are you supposed to help the evildoer!”
Jason’s eyes narrowed. There was something strange in his eyes.
“Even I can tell that Kylie is innocent. I don’t believe that someone as shrewd as you wouldn’t know there’s something fishy about this matter. You know someone did this maliciously, but you still sit back and do nothing. Even if you aren’t doing anything, you’re still trying to stop Ethan from doing the right thing. Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Zola got more agitated as she spoke. “Hayden Group is a company with a good reputation Grandpa, even if you are doing business, you can’t go against your conscience.
Jason answered, “Why should I uphold justice for people or matters that have nothing to do with me? In this world, it’s enough to take care of yourself. There are so many grievances in the world. Do you think I can take care of all of them!” Zola retorted. “I didn’t ask you to take care of everyone in the world. At least, you shouldn’t stop Ethan from helping Kylie “You don’t have to say more.” Jason interrupted Zola. “What happened to Kylie is her own business. If she knew what was

Send Gift
Zola spoke righteously.
Jason didn’t have a good expression on his face.
Zola still wanted to say toore, but Jason spoke first.
“If you don’t want to suffer the same treatment as Ethan, I advise you not to say anything else” Jason’s expression darkened. Once Jason berne solemn, it was terrifying. “This matter ends here. Not just Ethan, you should mind your own business as
well.”
Zola still wanted to say something. However, out of goodwill, the butler advised her, “Miss Zola, don’t argue anymore.” Zola bit her lip, and her eyes were a little red.
Zola knew too well that she could not convince her grandfather at all,
Zola turned around and left angrily.
No matter what, Zola had decided she was going to help Kylie.
Zola yanked open the door, her eyes
still filled with tears.
Leopold was still standing there, looking at Zola’s flushed face with tears in her eyes.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that it wasn’t going to go well,
Zola tried her best to swallow her tears.
Zola did not want Leopold to see a trace of weakness in her.
This matter has too many hidden connections. It’s not that your grandfather is unreasonable… Leopold said, trying to make Zola feel better.
“Leopold, enough with your fake compassion.” Zola looked at him coldly. “Just continue to be a good bootlicker to my grandfather!”
With that, Zola strode away.
Leopold’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
After a while, Leopold knocked on the study room door again.
If Zola had not arrived, Leopold would have gone into the study to help Ethan negotiate much earlier.
After all, no one could contact Ethan. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Leopold could only go head–on.
Jason looked at Leopold and asked coldly, “Are you also here about Kylie’s case?”
“Yes, Leopold answered.
“You re different from Zola. She’s much younger and doesn’t understand. She acts impulsively based on her emotions, but you should know better.” Jason said.
“I just want to state my opinion on this matter. Dad, if you are willing to accept it, then so be it. If not, I won’t say another word, Leopold said sincerely.
Jason hesitated for a moment. “Go on.”
“Kylie’s matter is straightforward. The Gardner family is behind it, I believe you have already guessed it. However, I don’t think the Garner family made a good move this time.” Leopold went straight to the point.
Jason did not object, which meant that he had tacitly agreed.
“Ethan didn’t object to the engagement with the Garner family partly because he can’t do so now. Other than the Hayden family, Ethan also has to protect Kylie. At the same time, everything that has happened so far is within the boundaries that Ethan is willing to accept. However, if the Garner family sends Kylie to prison, do you think Ethan will let it go? Once something happens to Kylie, I’m sure Ethan will do everything he can to help her. I believe you won’t want to see what kind of tragedy will happen. Therefore, for the sake of the Hayden family and Ethan, you shouldn’t interfere in this matter.” Leopold said.
Jason tightened his grip on
the coin his hand.
Jason did not stop Leopold because he wanted him to continue speaking.
“That was just one of the reasons. The second one is Jos.” Leopold enunciated each word.
Jason glanced at Leopold.

“And most importantly Leopold paused for a moment and said To you really think that Filan will marry Stella in the Dad bd you agree to the marriage with the Garner family because of the muation then?

The study fell into silence
Leopold waited for a while, but there was no response. Leopold sand politely. I won’t distarts you anymore. I’ll leave now? ““Leopold” Jason suddenly called out to him
“Yeah Leopold answered
“You’ve always had strong abilities Jason acknowledged Your identity is indeed a sensitive matter, which is why I didnt ler
Lenter Hayden Group I cant explain it to the Hayden family and the others, nor can bexplain it to myself.
Ive never complained. If you hadn’t brought me to the Hayden family. I would have starved to death on the streets” Leopold added. “Moreover, Ethan is quite strong. He can take on everything the Hayden family has It’s a wise move for you to give the Hayden Group to him.”
Jason looked at Leopold before he nodded.
Since many things had already been decided, there was no need to pretend any longer.
The phone suddenly rang
The butler looked at the incoming call and answered it.
The butler’s expression worsened. He put down his phone and reported to Jason respectfully, “They said that Mr. Ethan is
missingTM
Jason’s eyes narrowed
Leopold was also a little nervous at that moment.
“Do you need to instruct them to increase the manpower to look for Mr. Ethan? The butler asked.
Jason hesitated for a moment. “Forget it. Let him be.”
Leopold secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Go. I’m tired.” Jason did not explain further.
Jason had made his intentions and attitude very clear.
Leopold left
Leopold walked out of the study and picked up his phone. At the last moment, he put 4. For as Zola’s concerned, maybe it was better if I were dead‘ Leopold thought
Zola went to Quintina’s office in an extremely irritable mood.
it down.
Tm so angry. Tell me, how can Stella be so evil? How can she be so evil? She usually looks cheerful and lively without any schemes, but she’s full of evil ploys! I knew that there was no perfect person in the world. The more flawless someone is, the more hypocritical they are Zola had been scolding Stella for the entire afternoon,
Quintina admired Zola’s good energy, Is she not tired? Quintina thought.
Quintina heard that the reality show recording last night had lasted until 2 a.m., and Zola had woken up at 7 a.m. to record until noon. Zola had eaten lunch in her car and rushed back on the plane. Zola probably didn’t sleep much on the plane. Now, she had been sitting in Quintina’s office for two hours, cursing, without any rest.
Just as Quintina was about to remind Zola to take a break, she turned around and saw Zola sleeping on the sofa with her mouth open
There was also a faint snoring sound coming from Zola.
Quintina smiled.
