Ritchie was away on a business trip to another city.Since his last phone call with his mother, he had put the matter out of his mind.He thought it was not a big deal and nothing would happen.

However, when he finally returned home, he looked around the place but didn‘t see Elissa.He asked the servant curiously, "Where is my mother? She should be playing cards with the other wealthy ladies at home at this time."

The servant faltered, "Mrs.Lester...She was arrested by the police two days ago."

"Does my dad know about this?" Ritchie was flabbergasted.

"Didn‘t he stop them?"

The servant didn‘t know the details and simply said, "Sir, you will have to ask Mr.Lester yourself.I don‘t have the answers."

Ritchie rushed to Patrick, who was busy in the middle of a meeting.His secretary and assistant tried to stop Ritchie from barging in.

In a fit of rage, he pushed them aside and stormed into the board room.

"Dad, aren‘t you going to do something about Mom? You just stood there and watched Ethan put her in jail?" Ritchie said, enraged.

Patrick‘s face darkened.He had made up his mind and wouldn‘t falter in his resolve.He said, "There is no room for discussion about this.If you don‘t want me to get angry, you better get out of my sight right this instant."
