Chapter 969

Jasper had just driven out when Mrs. Howlett's call came in, and the ringtone of her phone sounded particularly clear in the late night.

"How is your sister now? How did she end up getting arrested by the police at Larro's engagement party?"

"Mom, Sister is innocent. She didn't harm anyone, and I will investigate this thoroughly." Jasper quickly reassured his emotionally distressed mother.

Mrs. Howlett's voice was filled with anxiety and worry, "Ever since she married into the Mcguire family, she hasn't had a single good day. She's been suffering humiliation and torment every day, and she's over thirty with no husband around, no children by her side... Why is Carolyn so unfortunate?"

"At least if there were children, there would be some hope for the future, but what now?"

Mrs. Howlett became more and more agitated as she spoke, almost in tears at the end.

"What has my daughter suffered? Abandoned by her biological parents in a ditch when she was a child, nearly drowning, luckily she met me, I raised her and finally found happiness in life. And now? Her husband is detained abroad... Jasper, promise me, your sister's life is too bitter, you must help her... You are my only son and daughter... If something happens to your sister, I won't be able to live either." Listening to his mother sobbing on the other end of the phone, Jasper felt a pang of sadness. Carolyn was seven or eight years older than him; she was already in primary school when he was born. But she had always been very loving towards him, and now that she was in trouble, even if his parents didn't say it, he would still help her.

"Mom, don't worry too much. Sister is innocent, she will be fine. I will investigate this matter in detail right away and clear her name."

"Hurry up and go, hurry up." Mrs. Howlett hung up as soon as she heard her son was busy with important matters.

Geoff watched her cry until her eyes were red, and quickly comforted her, "Carolyn is also my daughter, I am worried about her too. I'll inform some acquaintances at Larro's place to take care of her in the detention center. At the very least, we can't let our daughter suffer."

"You should hurry up and go, what are you still doing here?" Mrs. Howlett pushed him, and Geoff shook his head helplessly. He also needed time, didn't he? She kept holding onto his clothes, crying incessantly, until she collapsed into his arms.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Mcguire were comforting Katie in her hospital bed.

Mrs. Mcguire's tears flowed continuously as she fretted, "If Carolyn really bribed that driver to run you over, I won't let her off the hook. She's so ruthless, actually attempting murder." "Do you have any evidence?" Mr. Mcguire said, feeling troubled. "Carolyn is not that kind of person."

"My daughter is lying here seriously injured, and the police have taken her away. If it wasn't her, would the police arrest anyone?" Mrs. Mcguire wiped her tears and glared at Mr. Mcguire with red eyes. "Katie is your own daughter, isn't she more important than an outsider?"

"What do you know? What has Carolyn done to Katie? Carolyn has treated her sister-in-law well, hasn't she? She didn't skimp on pocket money, didn't cut back on cars, and even regularly gave her designer bags, the latest ones! Do you think I'm blind? I think you're blind!" Mr. Mcguire's face darkened with anger as he stared at Mrs. Mcguire. "Don't forget, she's the heiress of the Gibson family, and she has a share in the Gibson family's wealth. Does she care about the Mcguire family?"
