No Way Back

Chapter 460

After all, it was undeniable that Jack knew about the bribery but did not report it.

There were witness statements and material evidence. Even if the Fowlers caught Madelyn and proved that she was the one who betrayed the Fowler family, it would mean nothing.

Because it was the truth.

It was not made up.

“It’s better to be safe than sorry. Don’t underestimate the Fowler family. They’re one of the few elite corporations in Stormton City. The Fowler Corporation is still quite influential. Not to mention that Jack has seven outstanding sons. Jack may be old, but he’s still alive and has his sons to back him up. Now is the best time to acquire Fowler Corporation. Don’t complicate matters.”

“I understand, Dad. I’ll arrange for Madelyn to leave the country as soon as possible.”

“All right.”

When Anna woke up, it was already noon the next day.

The first thing Anna did when she woke up was to look for her son.

To prevent Anna from getting too emotional and losing control of herself like she did yesterday, the doctor let Henry in to see Anna. The doctor only allowed him to enter.

Henry walked in and held Anna’s hand. “****.”

This time, Anna’s **********state was much better. Her voice was not as weak as when she had just woken up yesterday. “Is there any news from Madelyn?”

Henry shook his head. “No. I’m afraid Crown Group is protecting her.”

“The Laton family will surely think of a way to erase Madelyn’s identity and send her overseas secretly. I’m afraid they will do it in the next few days. If we don’t hurry… We won’t be able to catch Madelyn in this lifetime.”

“I know, *********. I’ll get my subordinates to do their best to find Madelyn. No matter what, I won’t let Madelyn betray our family and disappear without a trace.”

However, after calming down, he realized that because Madelyn was protected by the Crown Group, their chances of finding her in just a few days were slim.

Henry knew it without even thinking.

Now, Henry was already exhausted. Fowler Corporation was about to be annexed by Crown Group. There were all kinds of internal strife among the Fowler Corporation’s shareholders. No one knew how many people had switched sides to join the Crown Group. Although Anna had woken up from her coma, she was still hospitalized. Other than the fact that Jack was imprisoned for accepting the bribe, countless rumors were still spreading like wildfire online…

In light of these matters, finding Madelyn now seemed so insignificant. Even if they found Madelyn, they could not prove Jack’s innocence. These accusations were true. Jack knew about it.

“By the way, Henry, where’s your father? Can you see him? Can you bail him out first?”

“No… ***********, I’ve thought about it. Only our lawyers can see Dad. They can’t even bail him out. Crown Group had come prepared this time. Madelyn provided Crown Group with information about the Fowler Corporation’s bribery and the testimony of the person whom the Fowler Corporation fired. We can’t bail Dad out. Dad has been silent ever since he went to prison. I’ve spoken to him through my lawyer. He wants to bear all the consequences of this incident himself after we leave the country safely…”

Henry felt unprecedentedly tired after saying this.

It was as if everything was written in stone.

He could not change the outcome.

Anna could not help but tear up. “Jack… How could you be so *************? Henry, you must find the best lawyer to help your father with the lawsuit. I know there’s no more turning back. But at the very least, you shouldn’t let Dad stay in jail for too long…”

“I will, ************. Our lawyer said that if the other party’s evidence is too overwhelming, the best thing to do now is for Dad to confess and tell the truth. The lawyer will also fight for the shortest sentence on Dad’s behalf.”

“Okay. Good. We’ll leave as soon as we’ve settled the paperwork for going abroad. We won’t stay here and continue to bother you and your father. I know… We’re just a burden to you now. Henry, you’ve been working so hard recently…”

Anna caressed Henry’s face. Her heart ached. He looked at Henry’s Bloodshot eyes. The corners of his eyes were bruised, and his face was gaunt. He did not even have time to shave. He looked as if he had experienced much of life’s hardships and had suddenly ***********ten years. She could hardly recognize him as the high-spirited, handsome, and ***********youngster she once knew.

Jack was imprisoned, and Anna was in such a sorry state.

Henry, their eldest son, was now the only person in the Fowler family who could bear all this. Everyone placed their hopes on Henry and prayed that he could turn the tables..

They had forgotten…

That Henry was just a 26-year-old boy.

His life had just begun, and he had yet to experience many beautiful things. But he was already forced to go through such unbearable suffering, one after another. He had to shoulder such a huge responsibility.

Anna’s heart was aching terribly for her sensible and capable eldest son.

Those adjectives were also a shackle that bound Henry, preventing him from doing what he wanted to do freely. Isn’t the Fowler family a prison in itself, shackling him to them? Would he become the Fowler family’s *************for the rest of his life?

If only Henry had the chance. If only he were not the eldest son, he would also choose to be willful and pursue his dream.

He would not be handling the defeat of the Fowler family. Once, they had looked so supreme and honorable in the eyes of outsiders.

Recently, too many things happened to the Fowler family.

The Fowlers had been dealt so many heavy blows. One of their own had even betrayed them…

They were exhausted. Truly exhausted.
