    Chapter 194 Going to the Police Station to Find Ashley


    She shook her head, “No, I was just on the phone with a friend. Don’t ask anymore, it’s already sote.


    Go wash up and get to bed early.”


    Saying so, the person had alreadye down from the balcony and pushed me towards the


    bathroom.


    Indeed, it was gettingte. Seeing her reluctant expression, I didn’t press her with more questions.


    Alexander was not in River City, and no one in the Conner Group was handling affairs big or small. I


    had no choice but to stop beingzy and go to the office early. Cory handed me a pile of documents.


    I looked at the pile of documents with a bit of a headache, inevitably pinching my brow. Seeing that


    Cory hadn’t left, I couldn’t help but ask, “Cory, is there anything else?”


    Looking at me, Cory hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, “The news of Miss Ashley being


    arrested by the police somehow got onto the inte, and it’s causing quite a stir online.”


    I frowned, nodding, “There are quite a few eyes on the Conner Group. Is someone making a fuss about


    this?”


    “Uh-huh! The stock price was affected, it fluctuated, but the tricky part is, I received awyer’s letter this


    morning.” As he spoke, he handed me a document, “It’s about the Conner family’s inheritance issue.


    Miss -Ashley hired awyer, and herwyer just contacted me saying that you need to give her all of


    her inheritance and shares, otherwise she will sue directly.”


    I pursed my lips, not uttering a word. The first thing Ashley did after

    being taken away was not to discuss Henry’s death with the police, but to n on fighting me for the


    inheritance?


    My father had been dead for so long, and she had been silent all this time. Initially, the Conner Group


    was facing bankruptcy due to the loss of assets, and she didn’t fight with me because she was afraid


    that the bankruptcy of the Conner Group would burden her with debt. Now that the Conner Group was


    gradually stabilizing, she nned to start fighting. I wasn’t curious, just surprised, that she would send


    me atwyer’s letter at this time.


    Looking at thewyer’s letter in the document bag, I turned to Cory and said, “I’ve got this, you go


    ahead with your work.”


    Cory nodded, took a few steps towards the door, but he couldn’t help but turn back and ask, “How do


    you n to handle this?”


    I shook my head and said truthfully, “As for the inheritance, I can’t decide it alone. I have to ask my

    mother. After all, Ashley was adopted by her and my father. And if we really want to divide the


    inheritance, legally, Ashley and I have the same inheritance rights.”


    Cory nodded, said no more, and left.


    The sudden desire of Ashley to contest the inheritance really caught me off guard. If she was truly set


    on dividing the shares of the Conner Group, it meant that my father’s previous shares would be split.


    Once split, the proportion of shares would decrease, and I would no longer have absolute say in many


    of the Conner Group’s future decisions.


    This was something that father had wanted to preserve for many years, so even though the Conner


    Group had encountered quite a few troubles over the years, he never sold his shares. Even when


    raising funds, he always retained absolute decision-making power.


    The more I thought about this matter, the more it gave me a headache.

    After spending the whole morning in the office, I still went to the police station.


    The facts of Ashley’s crime had been confirmed, and all that was left was to wait for the court session


    to finalize the case. At that time, she was still being held at the police station. Before I went, I had given


    Lucas a heads up.


    When I arrived at the police station, Lucas came out to greet me, saying, “Ms. Conner, you’re here.”


    I nodded, seeing that he seemed to have something to say to me, and said with a light smile, “Lucas,


    long time no see, how have you beentely?”


    He chuckled, saying, “Same as usual, Ms. Conner, can we talk first?”


    I smiled faintly, and agreed.


    Lucas’s office.


    After pouring me a ss of water, he went straight to the point and said, “I have a general


    understanding of all the basic circumstances. regarding your sister. She is guilty of inciting crime, and


    she also participated in it. However, since your life was not in danger, she might be sentenced to two


    years of imprisonment at present.”


    Two years ago!


    I slightly furrowed my brows, originally I thought that for someone like her, serving five or six years in


    prison was considered light. Now it seems, I was overthinking.


    As expected, it was a presumption made by someone who didn’t understand thew.


    After a moment of silence, I nodded and said, “Hmm, I understand.”

    Ile chuckled and said, “I wasn’t going to discuss this matter with you. You should have some idea about


    it. What I want to talk about is not this, but the events after Henry kidnapped you. Ms. Conner, do you


    really not know where Henry is now?”
