Chapter 649 Haven’t Found Anything Yet

Jess mumbled, "Lydia...Lydia Jensen, the Head of the Consulting Department. At that time, she assigned me to be Lindsey’s assistant, but I really didn’t do anything bad." In the end, Jess cried until her voice cracked. She was unaware that the police were interrogating her for a civil case and thought that some of the bad things she had done around Lindsey had been exposed. In a panic, she blurted everything out without waiting for the police to question her. Captain Simon and the other police officer looked at each other and knew that there was more to this. Thus, they made Jess tell them everything she knew. Around 1:00 pm, the employees in Hemera just had their lunch break and had returned to the office. They did not expect the police car that was here this morning, once again stopped at the front entrance of the office with sirens blaring. A few minutes later, Lydia Jensen, the Head of the Consulting Department in Hemera, was handcuffed and arrested by the police, then brought into the police car. Behind them, the employees of Hemera looked at each other and did not know what had happened. In the morning, they were sure that Lindsey was the culprit, but she was not even handcuffed. Now, Lydia was handcuffed and taken away. What did that mean? The employees of Hemera looked on and speculated in their hearts. ‘So Lydia was the one who leaked out this confidential information?’ Of course, before the police investigation was done, no one would know anything. Soon after, Lindsey walked out of the police station with her head held high, just as she was when she entered. When she left, the police officer who followed Captain Simon at the beginning ran inside the station and panted as he stood in front of the Captain. He reported his findings seriously, "We’ve found the owner of the two IP addresses. One of them is the President of S.P. Corporation, Ann, and the other one is a foreign IP in Honduras, but we haven’t found the user yet." Lindsey overheard this conversation and the corners of the lips hooked slightly before she stepped out of the police station. Thus, Lindsey did not hear the second half of the police officer’s report after he calmed himself. "We also got basic information about the President of S.P. Corporation. Her name is Ann, but her identity is forged. Since she’s a foreigner, we have no access to her past records." Today was a sunny day. When Lindsey came out, the sun was at an angle, which stretched one's shadow infinitely. It was May and the smell of summer was getting stronger. Lindsey was in a good mood. She knew that with all this evidence, no matter how much Ann denied it, she would still be punished by the law, so she felt somewhat relieved. Ann was probably too confident that no one would be able to find out what she had done, so she sent the document directly to her email address, which criminalized her. Lindsey tried to think from Ann’s perspective. This incident would have ruined Lindsey's reputation or sent her directly to jail. Moreover, it could also bring obvious benefits to S.P. Corporation. She was no longer bothered about why Ann would target her and treat herself with such hostility since they first met. Even if Ann was kind to her, they were not destined to become friends due to the roles they played in Zayn’s life. It was just that Ann’s repeated harassment really made Lindsey sick to her stomach. Using Ann’s own tactics to defeat her was only appropriate. After settling this matter that had been hanging over her head for days and getting rid of Ann, Lindsey just felt a kind of joy that the storm had cleared up. She was walking slowly outside the police station when she heard a short honk behind her. Lindsey looked back and saw the man with indifferent eyes in the driver's seat. "Arthur?" Lindsey subconsciously looked around to check if Arthur was honking at her. Arthur lowered the window and gestured at Lindsey. "Get in!" In fact, Lindsey was just thinking that Arthur was a great help in this matter and that she should find a time to thank him properly. She did not expect that the person she was thinking about would suddenly appear. Lindsey had to admit that this picture of a handsome man in a sporty car was extremely striking, especially because Arthur was not just any ordinary handsome man, and his car was not a regular luxury car that was abundant on the streets of Atlantic City. In short, putting the two together was the manifestation of one word: opulence. Lindsey was surprised, then without much hesitation, she pulled open the car door and got inside. Lindsey sat in the back seat. Arthur’s eyes darkened when he looked at the empty passenger seat for a moment before he returned to his original state. As soon as she got in the car, Lindsey asked, "Why are you here?" Arthur was not shy and calmly said, “I had some things to settle around here and saw you on the way back, so just thought I’d say hi.” Lindsey nodded gently and did not know whether to believe him. She just uttered a short “oh” and did not ask Arthur why he did not bring his bodyguard, assistant, or even driver when he had some things to settle. She felt that certain questions should not be asked because if she asked too much, things would get awkward between them. The two of them held such a tacit understanding with each other and got along surprisingly well. Lindsey saw Arthur's great driving skills and thought that heirs of such prestigious families were probably really all-rounders. She was lost in thought for a while, then remembered why she got into his car. "By the way, do you still have something to do later?" Arthur glanced at Lindsey through the rearview mirror, then shook his head. "Nope." In fact, Arthur had an international video conference in a few minutes, and his assistant was waiting for him to sign some paperwork the entire afternoon. Arthur felt that he was getting more skilled at telling lies now, especially when he was with Lindsey. However, his lies also brought the result he had hoped for. Lindsey's next sentence turned out to live up to his expectations. "Then I'll buy you dinner to thank you for today's matter." "I told you not to be so polite with me." Arthur's tone was soft, but he did not refuse Lindsey's proposal. "Where are we going to eat?" Lindsey originally thought that he would refuse after hearing the first half of his sentence, so she did not expect him to agree just like that. She froze for a moment before she said, "You decide." This time, Arthur shook his head. "I rarely eat outside and I don't know what's good in Atlantic City. Why don't you show me around?" He had an inquiring tone and his eyes were filled with anticipation. Lindsey looked up and accidentally bumped right into Arthur’s gaze. She suddenly realized that with Arthur’s status, he would have brought his chef with him everywhere he went, so it was normal not to eat out. Moreover, she was indeed more familiar with Atlantic City compared to Arthur. Since Lindsey was in a good mood, she nodded without hesitation.
