After hanging up the phone, Linda still couldn't believe it.
Madge didn't know what was going on, so she asked with concern, "Mom, what's the matter? What happened?"
After Linda retold the contents on the phone, Madge's reaction was the same as Linda's. She widened her eyes in disbelief and cried out.
"What?"
Madge shook her head and still didn't believe it. "No, it's impossible!"
"I don't want to believe it either! But he's an insider of the police station, so there is no way he would give me false information!" Linda's expression was solemn. She looked at the time on her phone again and said, "I'm afraid they'll let Charlie go tomorrow morning!"
"How could it be? Mom, I can't figure it out!" Madge continued to shake her head, "No one can pull him out of it except us!"
Linda said slowly, "The Hong Kong side withdrew the case ... "
"Withdrew the case?" Madge was surprised and her expression was very agitated. "Is that old man crazy or out of his mind? He lost such a large sum of money and the person who wanted to have Charlie in prison the most should be him. Why would he withdraw the case?"
The expression on Linda's face was no better than Madge's at this time. She said in an exasperated voice, "How would I know? Not only was the case dropped, but I heard that that old man is going to be Charlie's surety and bail Charlie out!"
Madge took a step back and directly sat on the chair.
"I still can't believe it. Why did it suddenly become like this!"
Linda also couldn't figure it out either. However, she suddenly thought of something, and said gloomily, "However, I seem to have heard that that woman, Wendy Lim, went to Hong Kong!"
Hearing this, Madge's face suddenly turned red, but because of anger.
Wendy?
Who she thought she was?
Madge thought everything was foolproof, and all she needed to do was to wait. Unexpectedly, in the end, she got nothing! At this time, Madge was no longer as proud as before in the bedroom. She was all gloomy.
She was extremely angry and depressed. She didn't care if the thing next to her hand was Kim's beloved porcelain vase, she directly raised her hand and smashed it on the wall.
Immediately, with a crisp sound, it broke, and her hatred for Wendy deepened.
In the Hogg's Mansion at seven thirty in the morning, under the cover of vibrant morning light, the haze in the villa was still there.
Gilbert didn't have much sleep because of getting old, and he couldn't sleep well these days because of his son. He woke up before dawn. After lying on the bed for a few hours, he finally got up.
He didn't have much appetite either. After taking a couple of bites of breakfast, he returned to his study.
The servants had already changed another fish tank, and the precious fish swam happily inside. Just as they were putting fish feed into it, Donna pushed open the door and came in.
She didn't even change her shoes, and her high heels hit the floor tiles, making a crisp sound.
Before Gilbert frowned and reprimanded her for not being polite, Donna said in a loud voice, "Charlie is fine!"
"Charlie is fine?" Gilbert exclaimed in shock.
After that, she closed the door and ordered the driver to drive. Gilbert stood where he was for tens of seconds, frowning slightly. He raised his hand to call the driver but finally put it down and turned back to the villa.
When Linda came down from upstairs and saw him, she asked in surprise, 11 0ld Master, why are you back?"
Gilbert didn't say anything but returned to his study to feed the fish.
Unlike what they expected, only Farr went to the police station to pick up Charlie.
Wendy came back from Hong Kong by plane last evening. It was the same as when she left, but she was in a different mood. Francis personally went to the airport and told her that Chase had changed his mind. He also promised that she would see Charlie after returning home tomorrow morning.
She was thrilled. When she got home, she didn't feel sleepy at all, but washed away all her tiredness.
Wendy didn't go to pick Charlie up because she promised him that she would wait for him at home ...
After hearing the news, Aunt Lee couldn't sit still at all. She ran back and forth from the kitchen to the entrance several times and finally heard the sound of the car engine. She almost trotted over. After opening the door, she shouted happily into the house.
"Miss Lim, Mr. Hogg is back!"
Wendy heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen. Farr was following Charlie, and the excitement on Farr's face was not less than that of Aunt Lee. However, Charlie was the only one in Wendy's eyes. In just a few days, he had lost weight, and his facial features were sharper.
Although he had changed into clean clothes, he was still wearing that black suit. The cuffs of his suit were a little messy, but it was not sloppy at all. Fresh beards sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain, which showed his masculine charm even more.
At this moment, Charlie was looking at her with shining eyes.
Wendy took a step forward and heard his deep voice. "Wendy, I'm home."
