Chapter 569


    Ritchie was away on a business trip to another city. Since hisst 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 ce but didn’t see Elissa. He asked


    the servant curiously, “Where is my mother? She should be ying cards with the other wealthydies


    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 bbergasted. “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.”


    Ritchie clenched his teeth in fury. When he was just about to say something, Patrick’s secretary


    entered the office and whispered something covertly in Patrick’s ear. “Sir, Mr. Seth Lester has returned.


    He is waiting for you in your office.”


    Ritchie managed to overhear the whisper and was quite pleasantly surprised by the information. “Seth


    has returned?”


    Seth would be much helpful than him. Patrick had always held Seth in much higher regard than him.


    Upon hearing this, Patrick’s face darkened. He announced the end of the meeting and went back to his


    office.


    At that moment, there was a man in a smart brown suit sitting in Patrick’s office.


    The man was in his thirties and looked like he belonged to the circle of the business elite. Like a refined


    gentleman, he smiled at the assistant who brought him coffee and thanked her with a certain sort of


    charm.


    After the assistant left, he picked up the cup of coffee and raised his gaze. He saw Patrick, who came


    in with Ritchie behind him.


    “Dad, Ritchie.” Seth put down the cup, crossed his legs and observed them carefully.


    Seth had lived in Sugden for many years. Since he got married, he had seldome back to Seacisco


    for anything.

    “Did youe back for your Mom?” Patrick got straight to the point and took a seat on the couch next


    to him.


    Seth’s rtionship with Elissa was not as close as that of Ritchie’s. However, no matter what, Elissa


    was still his mother and he couldn’t sit back and do nothing about her imprisonment.


    However, he knew that Patrick was a cold and ruthless man. Under such circumstances, he knew there


    was nothing he could say to change Patrick’s mind. He and Ritchie had to help their mother out of jail


    by themselves.


    “No, Dad. I always respect your decisions. I came back mainly to see you. I haven’t seen you for a long


    time. I thought we should have a small get together.” Seth remained calm. He didn’t make any mention


    about Elissa.


    “I’m busy these days. I’m divorcing your mother, and I need to go to thewyer’s officeter,” Patrick


    unbuttoned his suit buttons and looked exhausted. “I have a meeting scheduled to start quite soon. You


    two catch up.”


    After saying that, Patrick left.


    Seeing that Patrick had left, Ritchie became anxious. “Seth, why didn’t you say anything about Mom? If


    you don’t care about her at all, why did you even bothering back here?”


    Seth signaled his brother to calm down and said, “Don’t worry. Dad doesn’t intend to do anything, but it


    seems he won’t stop us from trying to get Mom out of jail.”


    As he yed with the ring on his ring finger, Seth’s eyes turned cold. He frowned and said, “Before I


    came back, I investigated the matter in great detail. Ethan has collected all the evidence he needs to


    convict Mom. The Larson Group is equally as powerful as the Lester Group. He has all the evidence


    and we don’t even have Dad’s support. The odds are against us so this might be tricky.”
