Chapter 311 The leader is here!
Several people took turns to complain. Eduard was immediately annoyed, and said loudly, "Or you think of one."
Seeing Eduard's frantic look, everyone laughed instead, just chatted and didn't do any other activities, but they were all very happy.
This may be the meaning of companionship.
Eduard sent Daphne to JTP early the next morning. If Daphne didn't stop him, he would even send her all the way to the office. But after Daphne entered the lobby, he sent Lucia a message and asked her to take good care of Daphne.
In the office, Lucia didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she received the message. Eduard was really caught in it, but when it came to taking care of Daphne, she was naturally obliged to do so. Daphne should be here too, so she went out of the office to explain her work in person.
Nia had been cooperating with Lucia to help Daphne adapt to work. After Lucia entered the office, Nia asked Daphne, who was sitting in the assistant seat she had arranged, involuntarily,
"Daphne, Lucia is really good to you. Do you have any special fate?"
Speaking of Lucia, Daphne again showed a look of admiration with shining eyes, saying, "Lucia is the goddess in my heart. She takes good care of me."
Nia frowned slightly. Was this showing off to her? But she didn't show it, but continued to ask Daphne what her relationship with Lucia was.
Although Daphne was simple, she also knew what to say and what not to say. Of course, the matter of stealing back the ledger for Lucia cannot be made public, so she changed the subject, but Nia kept that in mind.
Lucia, who was working, received a phone call from a staff member of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, asking if she would like to take over from Poppy to continue the accusation against Jacob. Lucia was slightly surprised. The other party seemed to be implying something, so she was sure to reply,
"I am willing and will definitely pursue this case to the end."
"Okay, then please come to the bureau with all the materials tomorrow at nine o'clock. The superior wants to talk to you in person," the other party said.
"Thank you very much." Lucia expressed her gratitude, hung up the phone, and hurriedly called Arthur to tell her the good news.
"I'll accompany you tomorrow." Arthur said immediately after hearing the news. He must be by Lucia's side at such times.
"Well, take Kane with you. He is familiar with this kind of case, and we can ask him directly if we have any legal questions." Lucia thoughtfully suggested.
"Okay, then you keep working. I'll pick you up for lunch later at noon." Arthur's voice also sounded pleasant, as long as Lucia was happy.
With Arthur for lunch, Lucia can no longer concentrate on her work. The news just now was really a happy event for her. When she chatted with Juliana last night, she mentioned that this matter may have encountered a pitfall. She didn't expect it, today, the Anti-Corruption Bureau called to investigate this matter, and her mood could almost be described as excited.
Looking at the music box on the table, Lucia said firmly, "Poppy, wait. I'll be able to take you back soon."
It turned out that Jacob, as Poppy's husband, was the only person who had the right to place her body. If Jacob was sentenced to be deprived of his rights, she can bring Poppy back.
This was one thing Lucia took to heart.
After that, Lucia waited impatiently for the morning of the next day. The time passed by second by second. Finally, the moon and stars set, and the sun rose the next day.
Arthur stayed at Lucia's house last night. Now the villa in Fragranerde Hall was almost used by Juliana and Kane, so he contacted Kane after having breakfast with Lucia early in the morning, and the three rushed to Anti-Corruption Bureau from both directions.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
There, Lucia, Arthur and Kane received a special reception. The staff led them to an office on the fifth floor. As soon as the door opened, they saw several people surrounded a middle-aged man in a white shirt, and followed his instructions.
Lucia immediately recognized that the people who was surrounded was the leader of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and immediately understood that the identity of the middle-aged man must not be low. "Assemblyman Bradley, Miss Webb and Mr. Davies, Mr. Martin have arrived." The staff knocked on the door politely and told the middle-aged man who was the Assemblyman Bradley.
"Okay, you can go to work first." Bradley's voice was low and steady. After driving the others away, he let Lucia, Arthur and Kane stay. When the others dispersed, Lucia hadn't spoken, and Arthur's slightly surprised voice sounded first.
"Uncle Bradley, how did you come to Athegate?"
Uncle Bradley?
Lucia raised her eyebrows and looked at Arthur. Did he know this leader?
With no one around, Bradley gave Arthur a loving smile, came over and tapped him on the shoulder and said, "It's been a long time. Arthur, you've matured a lot."
Arthur rarely showed a shy smile like a boy, and he quickly introduced Lucia beside him to Bradley, "Lucia, he is my dad's college classmate and his best friend. Every time when my dad returns to the country, he will take us to visit him. He's the MP, Bradley Hall."
"Hello, Mr. Hall." Lucia understood. It turned out that Bradley was Edwin's best friend, so the Anti-Corruption Bureau suddenly paid attention to Jacob's case.
"Just call me Bradley in private," Bradley said kindly. "Miss Webb, you're really capable."
"Thanks Bradley." Lucia blushed, being embarrassed by the compliment.
"Did my dad invite you here?" Arthur now knew what his father's suspense was for him.
"Well, your dad rarely asks me to do anything. When he calls, I'm right over there," said Bradley.
"Thank you Bradley. This case has been stuck now. It really wouldn't work without you." Arthur said generously. His father and Bradley had a deep friendship, and he didn't need to talk around.
"I also learned about the situation just now. The impact of this case is extremely bad. It stands to reason that it should have attracted attention a long time ago. It was also pressed down by someone behind the back. But don't worry, with me here, this case can't be stopped." Bradley was in a public office, and even if it was not because of friendship, since he knew about this matter, he will definitely take care of it to the end.
With Bradley's assurance, things went a lot smoother after that. Bradley asked Lucia about the Jacob case alone, and then he invited the leader of the city's Anti-Corruption Bureau to discuss how to deal with the matter. Bradley was in charge. Who dared to shirk?
