The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 987: 466 Responsibility_1 Chapter 987: 466 Responsibility_1 Silvia Hayes’s phone rang again, and she picked up at once.

“Miss, something has happened, you need to come home right away.” It was the nanny who had been serving the Hayes family for decades.

A chill went down Silvia’s spine as she asked calmly, “What happened?”

The nanny’s voice was full of panic, “The police just came and took Madam away.

What should we do?”

“The police?” Silvia frowned, “Are you kidding?

Didn’t my cousin drop the charges against her from last time?”

Silvia’s first instinct was that her cousin had realized that she was undermining Aubree Groove and had used his mother to send her a warning.

“I don’t know.

From the tone of the police, it seems that Madam is implicated in some kind of sea-freight smuggling.

It’s pretty serious.

It wasn’t just the police.

There was also a prosecutor.”

This was a serious situation now.

The prosecutor wouldn’t make a home visit without significant evidence.

“Impossible.” Silvia clenched her teeth, “Ricky Wood has always been responsible for sea freight.

My mother has always been excluded.

How could she have the opportunity?

This is a slander, definitely a slander.”

Silvia hung up the phone of the nanny, called several confidants of her mother directly, none of them answered.

The only one who picked up told Silvia to stop contacting him.

He had already parted ways with Guele Rinto, and they couldn’t conspire together anymore.

He subtly warned her, “Ms.

Hayes, wise people know when to move forward.

Don’t struggle fearlessly anymore.”

With that, he simply hung up the phone.

Silvia stomped her foot in anger, “What the hell is going on?”

Jenny Linggo glanced at Silvia’s face and asked cautiously, “Silvia, what happened?”

Silvia had a gloomy face, picked up her bag, and left the tea house.

She drove straight to the Rintos’ Manor.

On the way, she pondered in her mind.

The most likely thing was Ricky Wood setting a trap for her mother.

After all, her mother had been too cruel and left no room for manoeuvre.

The most critical factor would be her cousin’s attitude.

For a moment, Silvia’s heart sank.

Without the consent of her cousin, Ricky Wood would not dare to do such a thing.

At the gate of the Rintos’ Manor, her car was stopped by the guard.

She was told that she could only proceed after getting the permission from Master McKay.

If he didn’t want to see her, she’ll need to turn back.

Silvia was furious.

Previously, she did not need any permission to visit the Rintos.

It was just like going home.

“I’m sorry, Ms.

Hayes, Master McKay is resting and doesn’t want to be disturbed.

Please leave.”

Silvia was stunned for a moment.

She wasn’t sure if it was the words “Ms.

Hayes” or “outsider” that stung her.

She drove her car straight through the gate and into the Manor.

The guard quickly sounded the alarm, broadcasting over the loudspeaker, “Ms.

Hayes unauthorized entry into the Manor, groups one and two prepare…”

She was chased by two lines of motorbikes, manned by guards, but Silvia, red-eyed and panic-stricken, stepped on the accelerator, leaving them far behind.

She stopped the car abruptly outside the living room.

A group of guards surrounding the hall rushed over, surrounding her car.

It wasn’t until then did she realized how many people were hiding around the villa.

Finnian Moore stepped out from the villa, his smile not reaching his eyes, “Ms.

Hayes, this is not a place where you can act wilfully.”

Silvia slammed her car door shut, and sneered, “Ms.

Hayes?

You never used to call me that.”

Finnian Moore stood on the steps above, looking down on her, “Times have changed, Ms.

Hayes.

A smart person like you should understand.”

“What a ‘times have changed’ “, Silvia quickly ran up, “I need to see my cousin.”

“I’m sorry, Ms.

Hayes.” Finnian stepped forward to block her.

“Master McKay is resting and isn’t seeing anyone.

If you disturb his rest, can you afford the consequences?”

“Resting?

Can he sleep at this moment?

My mother was just taken by the Prosecution Office.” Silvia rushed forward.

Finnian waved his hand and two tall guards came and stood in her way.

“Get out of the way, don’t touch me.” Silvia cried out to the living room, “Cousin, Cousin!

You’ve been tricked by Ricky Wood.

He framed my mother.

My mother has devoted her life to the Rintos.

She didn’t ask for much appreciation, but she shouldn’t have to end up like this.”

She shouted, “Cousin, I always thought you were a wise leader.
