Chapter 569 Seth Returned


    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."
