Chapter 923
Leonard and Jocelyn couldn’t believe their ears. Their daughter hadn’t even been involved in some of those matters.
“I said, your precious daughter got arrested again,” Lawrence repeated.
“Why? What happened p>
“Word is she and Seraphina went looking for trouble with Mira. It backfired, and they were reported for being connected to the assassins p>
“How could Mira know?” Jocelyn clearly knew about the assassins, and Richard didn’t seem entirely oblivious either.
“I’m guessing she bluffed them p>
“If there’s no proof, how could the police detain them?” Richard frowned.
“There is no proof, but they ran their mouths and supposedly blurted out something about the assassins. So, proof or no proof, they’re getting locked up for a few days. I bet Mira knows exactly what she’s doing—she just wants to make us miserable. Blame those two idiots for stirring up trouble right now. Haven’t we got enough of a mess?” Lawrence paced around frantically.
“So what do we do?” Jocelyn asked, furrowing her brow.
“What can we do? Leave them there for now. It’s their fault for being stupid p>
“You mean we just ignore it and they’ll be released in a few days?” Jocelyn pressed,
still uneasy.
“Yeah, exactly p>
Jocelyn and Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Didn’t you go to the Quinn family? How are the wedding plans?” Richard looked at his son.
“It’s settled. Who else is she going to
be with?” Whenever Seraphina was with Lawrence, he intentionally let people know—including the news of her recent miscarriage. While modern society was more forgiving, elite families still cared deeply about reputation. If the Quinn family wanted to back out now, they had to weigh the damage to their daughter’s name.
“When is the date?” Richard asked.
“As you wished, the day after tomorrow p>
“Good.” Richard looked at Jocelyn. “Since we have less than two days, you and Lawrence focus solely on the wedding preparations. Leave everything else to me. As for Luna, we don’t have time for her. Let her sit in the station for a few days to learn her lesson p>
Jocelyn gave her husband a bewildered look. “If you don’t get Seraphina out, how is she supposed to marry Lawrence? And if you’re pulling strings for Seraphina, shouldn’t you get Luna out at the same time p>
Jocelyn offered a bitter smile. What kind of terrible luck was this? To throw a wedding for her son, she first had to bribe people just to get the bride out of a holding cell. But she had no choice. They were facing crises on all fronts, and it was all Owen’s fault. They never should have let him live back then. Jocelyn cursed him again in her mind.
“Who’s handling the station?” Jocelyn needed to be sure.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll send Zachary Lloyd p>
Meanwhile, Mira returned home from classes to find Owen already there. “Did you
finish everything today?” she asked.
“No, there’s one last step to announce p>
“Why hold off p>
Owen glanced at Eleanor sitting in the living room. Mira caught his meaning immediately and headed upstairs to change. Owen followed close behind once they reached the second floor, Owen finally spoke. “Seraphina and Lawrence are getting married the day after tomorrow p>
“What? They’re getting married? In two days?” Mira couldn’t believe it. Were
Sebastian and Gwen out of their minds? The Lance Group was in deep trouble, and
the exact cause wasn’t even clear yet. Why the mad rush to marry off their daughter?
