Chapter 206
Last night, all talk of Shelia had vanished as if it had been wiped clean.
Any news that did show her face blurred it beyond recognition.
The netizens were left guessing who the person involved was, without any concrete proof to confirm their suspicions.
Lindsey had hoped to tarnish Shelia’s reputation and ruin her chances with the Perry family by using public opinion against her.
Yet, the incident seemed to have slipped everyone’s mind.
Had Jacob stepped in to help Shelia without anyone knowing?
But then, at the equestrian club that day, Jacob had ended things with Shelia.
It was all so confusing.
Amid Lindsey’s pondering, her phone rang with a call from the police asking for her cooperation in an investigation.
She was ready for this.
Lindsey freshened up, threw on some everyday clothes, and headed to the station.
There, Andrew pointed fingers at Lindsey, but she firmly told the police that Andrew was the one who had harassed her.
She admitted to messaging him about meeting at the hotel, but claimed it was only to trick him, and she never went.
The police couldn’t find any evidence of her at the hotel and cleared her of suspicion.
Walking out of the station, Lindsey got a call from Selah with exciting news.
“Lindsey, guess what? Mr.
Barton, the famous lawyer, reached out on Twitter.
He’s offering to represent me for free!”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr.
Barton?” Lindsey raced through her thoughts.
Out of the blue, her eyes brightened, and she
questioned, “You mean the lawyer who wins almost all his cases, Reece Barton?”
“That’s the one!”
Lindsey was stunned.
“Isn’t he the one who charges a fortune, the one people can’t hire even if they have the money? And he’s helping you for free? That’s incredible!”
“I was just as shocked.
I offered to pay, but he refused.
”
“Do you think he’s a fan of yours?” Lindsey had considered this before.
“Maybe, I’m not sure.
You know, Andrew’s been pulling my strings for so long, I’ve hardly saved a penny,” she confided, her voice tinged with worry about the cost of a good Lawyer.
Famous lawyers charged a fortune, after all.
Out of the blue, Reece got in touch with her!
With a heartfelt sigh, Lindsey said, “I was scared that Andrew would get some hotshot lawyer to get him a lighter sentence.
But now, with Reece on our side, we can definitely put him behind bars for years!”
“Yeah, it’s a weight off my shoulders.
Without you, I’d still be under his thumb.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,” Selah expressed her gratitude to Lindsey warmly and sincerely.
Lindsey offered a smile, filled with relief.
“Don’t mention it, Selah.
A jerk like him deserves what’s coming.
I just did what anyone should.
Plus, it’s been easier because your fans are behind you, eager for your comeback.
”
“I’ve decided, I’m going back to showbiz.
I won’t let my fans down again,” Selah declared with newfound determination.
