The Ex and Her Riches

Those gossip-loving folks instantly perked up, eagerly pulling her aside to discuss the details.

Lana and Sissi, who had just left the Newton Group’s building, had their faces filled with sorrow. They felt as if their lives had suddenly become utterly miserable.

However, something even more dreadful was waiting for them.

They had not gone far from the building when several police cars drove up and parked by the roadside. In no time, they were surrounded.

“Are you Lana, Sissi, Janice…?”

Isaac hurriedly opened the car door and said respectfully, “Mrs. Newton, I have come to pick you up as per Mr. Newton’s instructions.”

Seeing that Whitney didn’t move, Isaac explained, “Actually, Mr. Newton was worried that something might happen to you from the beginning. That’s why he asked me to arrange for someone to follow your car. He didn’t expect that incident to happen. Hence, he sent me to pick you up and take you back to the company”

Seeing the bandage on Whitney’s head, Isaac couldn’t help but ask, “Are you alright?”
