    Chapter 1855


    However, the minute they stepped into the suite, there was a knock on the door.


    Lea went to answer and found a group of people in work uniforms on the other side, who solemnly


    exined their purpose.


    Thaddeus International Corporation was suspected of illegal operations and tax evasion within several


    localpanies. The amount was substantial, and they needed to take Thaddeus into custody for


    investigation.


    Bertha was taken aback. She was quite stunned.


    Lea was also at a loss for what to do.


    Oddly enough, Thaddeus, who had just been in tears, seemed indifferent to this. It was as if he had


    anticipated it. He calmly walked over and said, “I’ll go with you.”


    Bertha couldn’t believe it. “Thaddeus! What…what’s happening?”


    Thaddeus gave her a bitter smile. “Bertha, I owe you and Lea an apology. I’ll go with them for now, but


    if you still want a divorce afterward, contact mywyer.”


    Bertha’s eyes welled up with tears. “Thaddeus…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

    “Dad!” Lea yelled.


    Thaddeus was led away by the officials, leaving only Bertha and Lea in the expansive hotel suite.

    Bertha sat nkly on the sofa, not uttering a word.


    Lea walked over and took her mother’s hand. “Mom, don’t worry too much. Dad’s just being


    investigated; we don’t know the oue yet.”


    Bertha snapped back to reality, managing a forced smile. She patted her daughter’s head and nodded.


    From the moment Thaddeus was taken away, she understood why he was so eager to sell all his


    domestic assets.


    The suite was too big and empty. She couldn’t stay here any longer.


    Bertha stood up and led her daughter away. “Lea, let’s go. We’ll go see Marlinie at the hospital. It’s too


    quiet here. We can keep herpany there instead.”


    Lea didn’t say a word. She just obediently followed her mother.


    When they returned to the hospital, Ellinor and Theo were still in Marlinie’s room.


    They hadn’t left because Ellinor didn’t trust the care workers to look after her mom.


    She had already lost her mother once, and she didn’t want any more mishaps.


    Bertha smiled weakly at them. “Mr. nchet, take Ellinor home and rest. I’ll take care of Marlinie. Don’t


    worry.”


    Ellinor and Theo exchanged a nce; both had the same concern in their eyes.


    They had already heard the news about Thaddeus being taken away by the authorities.


    As Thaddeus’ wife, would Bertha hold a grudge?


    Could they still trust her?


    Seemingly sensing their worries, Marlinie spoke up. “Ellinor, you and Theo go back. Bertha will stay


    with me. We’ve known each other for decades, and we’re best friends. Don’t worry.”


    After hearing her mother say this, Ellinor nodded slightly and appeared thoughtful. She turned to Bertha


    and said, “Bertha, we’re in your debt again.”
