Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 229

Quentin was getting more confused with Zayn's thoughts. Zayn knew that Allie had bad intentions, but he did not target Allie and only kept an eye on her.

Allie Wilford was Liam Wilford's sister.

"Should we inform the Young Madam?" Quentin gave a friendly reminder.

"No, she knows what she’s doing."

Quentin thought to himself, ‘I doubt it…’

Lindsey was very trusting of the people she was familiar with probably because she had never been backstabbed before, so Quentin's thought was not ungrounded.

She was indeed suspicious of Allie, but it was not to the point of cutting off ties with her.

To Lindsey, Allie and Liam were separate entities. Liam’s behavior could not be equated with Allie.

Thus, the morning after Liam left, Lindsey still entertained Allie happily when she came to visit.

"Lindsey, let's talk alone."

Lindsey sent the maids off to the side and studied Allie's face. She found that Allie’s eyes were a little red and swollen. "What's wrong? Have you been crying?"

Allie's face looked terrible as she cried, "Sophie’s missing. My brother rushed back overnight and I don't know what to do now."

Lindsey was also surprised. "Sophie Leger’s missing?" Although she had never met Sophie, she was familiar with the name.

There was a connection between her and Sophie after all.

"Yeah." Allie watched Lindsey’s expression change, looking like she was clueless. "My brother’s frantic and I can't help him much. Lindsey, I think this is an opportunity for you."

Allie suddenly leaned forward, making Lindsey's heart tremble violently. Lindsey backed up a little and asked, "What did you say?"

"Lindsey, don't you have relatives in the hands of my brother?" Allie blinked and continued, "While he’s occupied, you can find a way to get them out."

Lindsey looked at Allie with slight surprise. "Do you know what you’re saying? Your brother will be very angry if he finds out."

She was not unmoved by Allie's proposal, she just felt that Allie’s behavior was a bit unusual.

Allie pretended to be innocent and said, "Although I don't know what's going on between you and my brother, it's not right for him to do this. I'm just helping him with his conscience. Aren't you an orphan, Lindsey? Your relatives should be very important to you, right?"

Lindsey was quiet for a long time before she said, "Alright, let me think about it."

"Okay. You and my brother...sigh...he never used to threaten people like this. I don’t know what’s wrong with him..." Allie even sounded sad when she said this.

Lindsey patted her shoulder as a silent act of comfort.

At this time, the maid from afar came over and bowed slightly to Lindsey. "Young Madam, the Young Master just called to remind you that it's time for your nap."

Allie immediately stood up and said, "Then you should rest. My brother left in a hurry, so the company’s in a mess now. I'll go back first."

In the early hours of the night, Wilford Corporation's stock suddenly plunged and by this morning, several companies that had always cooperated with them also withdrew from the ongoing cooperation. Wilford Corporation formed an emergency public relations team, but it was completely useless.

These people were menacing. Although they broke the contract, they all blamed Wilford Corporation for the problems.

Allie had never encountered such a situation, but she could not contact Liam.

She also knew that she was too eager to look for Lindsey, but Liam was the one who told her to tell Lindsey that she could help save her parents when she had the chance.

Allie folded her arms and looked glum.

"Young Lady, are you going to the office?" The driver in front of her turned a corner and suddenly asked.

Allie, still lost in thought, subconsciously nodded her head. She then quickly thought of Wilford's current chaotic situation and realized that her being at the office would not solve anything. She thought about it and said, "No, I'm not going to the office. Let’s go to Hemera."

Shaun's arm was still not recovered yet. When his secretary said that Allie had come to see him, he subconsciously frowned.

Before Shaun could say anything, there was already the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor outside.

The office door was left open and Allie barged in, ignoring the security guards chasing behind her and the secretary present. Her words were frighteningly direct. "Shaun Juhl, you have to help me."

Shaun's eyes were still glued to his phone when he heard her words. He looked up just in time to see Allie's self-righteous look.

Shaun sneered and waved his hand to indicate for others to leave first, then asked, "Why should I even help you?"
