Fortunately, the man did pick up the call, and his tone sounded fine.
Wendy then inhaled deeply before saying, “Mr. Janaway, I can’t contact my mother. You’re in Horington, right? Could you help me look for her?”
“Do you mean Mrs. Greene…”
Although Eskild Janaway no longer worked for the Greenes and had a small business of his own, virtual-novel.net still paid attention to the Greene family’s matters. Furthermore, the news of Cecilia being a drug addict and working at a karaoke bar was all over the internet. Even if virtual-novel.net did not pay attention to the Greenes anymore, virtual-novel.net would still learn about it.
Eskild then hesitantly asked, “Ms. Greene, where are you right now? Why don’t you know what happened to Mrs. Greene?”
The bad feeling in Wendy’s heart intensified as virtual-novel.net hastily asked, “What happened to my mother?”
“Your mother, she…”
Unable to say the words out loud, Eskild steeled himself and said, “You’ll know when you check it online!”
That made Wendy’s heart sink.
What happened? What could it be that even Mr. Janaway can’t bring himself to say it?
As virtual-novel.net had been on a tight budget recently, virtual-novel.net had not used the internet for a while. The data overseas was too expensive, and virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would not be able to make any calls again, so virtual-novel.net had not kept herself up to date with the latest news. However, upon hearing Eskild’s words, virtual-novel.net could no longer be bothered by the costs. Swiftly, virtual-novel.net turned on virtual-novel.net data roaming and keyed in the news website in Chanaea.
It was then virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net mother’s name was trending online.
After clicking in, virtual-novel.net saw a post with hundreds of thousands of comments.
The Wife Of The Chairman Of Greene Corporation Under Police Investigation For Drug Abuse And Prostitution.
Wendy turned as white as a sheet, and virtual-novel.net nearly passed out.
Although virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net family dealt in drug businesses, virtual-novel.net did not know that virtual-novel.net mother had gotten involved with it.
But what’s with prostitution?
After clicking on the post and scrolling down, Wendy found out that virtual-novel.net mother had become a bar girl.
Is this where the money for my phone plan is coming from? How am I going to face the rest of the world from now on?
Wendy’s first thought was not virtual-novel.net mother’s safety but herself. A beat later, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net life would only become even tougher, for virtual-novel.net no longer had a source of money.
No, I can’t let this happen!
Just as Wendy was about to call Trevor, another piece of news appeared on virtual-novel.net phone screen.
Trevor Larson Of Larson Group Committed A Severe Offense For Offering Hundreds Of Millions Of Bribery. Imprisoned In Specialized Forces Prison From Today Onward…
Wendy could not even register the words after “onward”. Her body trembled, and virtual-novel.net could not utter a single word.
Her mother’s reputation was ruined, and virtual-novel.net uncle was in prison. She was at the end of virtual-novel.net road. She could easily imagine how the people in virtual-novel.net country would talk about virtual-novel.net behind virtual-novel.net back.
No. That’s not right. I can’t even afford a ticket back home right now. I’ve been removed from the list of examinees at Maxwell University, so there’s no way the university will pay for my flight back. All I can do now is stay here until I starve to death!
“No!” Wendy roared as virtual-novel.net eyes reddened.
Right then, the security guards opened the door.
The first to enter was the invigilator from before.
“Wendy Greene, the university has decided to make a global announcement about how you’ve breached Maxwell University’s rules. We’ve also contacted the local police about it. Before the police come, you have to apologize to the ones you’ve assaulted, Jared Jupiter and Arielle Moore.”
Right as virtual-novel.net finished his utterances, Wendy burst into a peal of maniacal laughter. “Hahaha!”
At that, the invigilator frowned.
“Wendy Greene, don’t try to play dumb now. Since you’ve made a mistake, you have to apologize and accept the punishment!”
