Chapter 308


    ?


    Spencer did not deal with Ronald much, but he had to admit the guy was good at getting things done.


    Spencer cracked a smile. "It''s been quite a while. Thanks for asking, Mr. Wells!" He nced around and then got to the point. "So, what''s the deal today?"


    "Oh, we''ve sorted it all out. It''s got nothing to do with your wife," Ronald said with a twinkle in his eye to Spencer. "No worries, Mr. Sabian. We would''ve sent her home even if you hadn''t shown up. But since you''re here, I''ve got something to tell you."


    "Go ahead, Mr. Wells," Spencer said, his forehead slick with sweat. He could feel the powerful aura of Charles'' people. He was usually a goody-two- shoes, but he had pulled some strings for Yessica so she could brag to her ssmates.


    Ronald let out a small smile. "Mr. Sabian, you''re a clever man. Think about it, and you''ll figure out why we''re here today. Thedy of the house might not be involved, but she''s the one who invited these guests. You know this can''t happen again, right?"


    "Yes. I get it, Mr. Wells. You can count on me," Spencer replied, then quickly added, "Mr. Hoffman, you too."


    "Mm-hmm."


    "So, what happened?" Yessica asked, seeing her husband looking all shaken up when he got back. "Did you talk to them?"


    "Let''s just go," Spencer said, his lips tight.


    "Wait!" Yessica, being tugged along by Spencer, stopped him urgently. "You haven''t told me what''s going on!"


    "It''s all sorted out, and it''s not of your


    concern," Spencer told her, giving


    el.n


    her a meaningful look. "You should keep your distance from your ssmates from now on." He nced over at Winter and Annie. "Especially those two."


    "Why? They..."


    Before Yessica could finish, two men in ck approached and took Annie away. She yelled, but the men did not let go.


    Annie''s scream sent chills down everyone''s spine, and it was clear that she was somehow involved in the trouble.


    As they led Annie away, she kept yelling, her eyes pleading with Winter for help. "Winter, save me! Cody is my brother! Please let me go!


    "Winter..."


    Winter turned away, her fists clenched, acting as if she could not hear Annie''s cries.


    Once Annie was gone, the officials came out and sent the men in ck away. "We''ve sorted out today''s incident. You all can go home now."


    Everyone let out a relieved sigh and started to leave. Soon, only Winter and Suzy were left. Winter''s face was ghostly pale. "Annie, she..."N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Suzy squinted and took Winter''s


    hand. "We''ll talk when we get back." Suzy was the clever one. She did not talk much, but when she did, she got her point across. "This isn''t the ce for this conversation."


    Winter bit her lip, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Suzy.


    "Annie I really wanted to help ne?


    but you know I couldn''t. It''s all my fault. She did everything for me!"
