Chapter 155~ A father's guilt

It didn't take long for the news of Celeste's arrest to spread through the city like a forest fire.

At the Williams' mansion, David looked at his wife and instructed, "Celine, pack what you can, we have to leave, now." Celine's eyes widened. She asked, "Why do we have to leave?"

David walked to the window and peeped through the curtains, fear evident in his eyes. "The police will be here soon. We have to leave before they come. Celeste has been arrested. I know we are next." "W-What?" Celine's voice trembled. "So, we are screwed? Where will we go? We sold everything to acquire the Kingsley group."

David ran a hand through his hair, frustration coursing through him. He said, "We can leave the country with the cash I have right now. I can buy a house somewhere far where no one knows us." "What about Ivy? Are we never going to see her again?" Celine asked worriedly.

"Do you want to join her in jail?" David questioned. "Hurry, we need to leave now. That foolish Celeste got us into trouble. I shouldn't have trusted her."

Celine pursed her lips into a thin line. She wasn't for the idea of escaping by themselves whilst their daughter was in prison. However, she couldn't defy her husband.

She quickly packed a few essential things that they might need on their journey and the couple left the mansion.

They were on their way, driving out of the city when they were intercepted by the police.

David came out of the car and took one briefcase that was full of money. He approached one of the police officers and said, "Hey... we are all human beings here. Let's be kind to one another." Extending the briefcase to the police officer, David remarked, "Can you pretend that you didn't see us? Here is a small token of appreciation."
