Chapter 440 She Doesn’t Dare to Believe
Ingrid subconsciously took the phone away, as if it would dirty her ears. She waited for the movement on Ladarius’ side to be a little quieter before she took it back and said, “Hold on for a while. Don’t take leave for the next few days. Come to the company. I have something urgent for you
to do.”
“What’s the matter?” After sneezing, Ladarius continued, “I saw the news. Aren’t you going to get married soon? Congratulations! Are you preparing to get married recently? Don’t worry, I will definitely be there to congratulate you.’
“Don’t joke now!” Ingrid lowered her voice. “I’m not talking about this. I’m talking about Vicente.” “Didn’t he turn himself in?” This matter was almost known to everyone. After all, the case of the Petersen Group was so big that everyone was waiting to see the final result. It had high social
attention.
“He has turned himself in, but don’t you think it is abnormal?” Ingrid frowned and said, “There must be someone behind him. Where has he been for so many days? Why did he suddenly plead guilty? Don’t you think that with his personality, he should come to me to denounce me?”
“Maybe he has a conscience and doesn’t want to fight with you?”
“I’m serious. This matter is very important. If we don’t figure out who the person behind him is, and if we don’t know what his purpose is and fail to take precautions, all our efforts might be
wasted!”
After a pause, Ingrid thought about it and said, “Do you think the person behind him is… Declan?”
“Declan? Do you mean Declan? Isn’t he lying in the hospital? Isn’t he about to die? Him?”
Ingrid was not very sure, but after thinking about it, she felt that this possibility was relatively high.
Declan was not in good health, but he was not completely unconscious yet. If he could find a lawyer to write his will, why couldn’t he instruct others to follow his thoughts?
Besides, Cindy was also there. She looked delicate and weak but was very smart when doing things.
Over the past two days, people were sent to seal off the hospital. Vicente could not enter. But it was uncertain whether he had been there during the days when he was missing and had been instructed. Moreover, it was very likely that Declan asked Vicente to hide for a while.
Now that Charles was already dead, Declan and Cindy were old. They must be looking for a successor for this huge family business.
It was impossible for outsiders. Besides her and her father, only Vicente was left, who was considered half a member of the Petersen family.
If Declan was dissatisfied with her like Shawn and wanted to go against her, then Vicente was undoubtedly the best “tool”.
The more Ingrid thought about it, the more she felt it was very possible. She could not help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.
If Declan really wanted to go against her, then she was in danger.
“Don’t stay at home. It’s a very crucial moment! Hurry up and come to the company. I need to go to the hospital!”
After that, Ingrid hung up the phone and called her mother as she walked out, “Mom, I want to go to the hospital to see Declan. Where are you now? Hurry up and go over, we will meet at the hospital!”
However, when Ingrid rushed to the hospital, she was stunned!
The ward was empty, and even the floor where Declan lived was empty. The person she sent to guard the door was also gone, as well as Cindy… In short, it was as if everyone had disappeared.
“Where is he? Where is he?” Ingrid was stunned. She took two steps back and looked at the empty ward. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.
Just as a nurse passed by, Ingrid grabbed her by the collar and asked fiercely, “Where is he? I ask you where is the person in this ward? Where did he go?”
The nurse was shocked. “He… is discharged!”
“Discharged from the hospital? When did he leave the hospital? How did he leave the hospital? Isn’t he dying? Why did he leave the hospital? Also, why didn’t you inform the family members? Who allowed him to leave the hospital?” Ingrid was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she clenched. her hands tightly around the nurse’s collar.
“I… I don’t know!” The poor nurse was strangled to the point that she could not breathe.
“Ingrid, Ingrid…” Hannah rushed over and grabbed her furious daughter. “What are you doing?”
The nurse got her freedom and quickly ran away with her hands around her neck, her face. panic-stricken.
Ingrid raised her hand and pointed at the ward. “Mom, Declan is discharged from the hospital. He left the hospital without informing us. How is this possible? He is about to die. Even if he is discharged, he should be at the funeral parlor. How can he be discharged properly?”
Ingrid did not believe it, nor did she dare to believe it.
“Ingrid, calm down. Something is wrong! Where is the person you sent?” Hannah was also very surprised, but after all, she was more senior and reserved, trying to calm herself down to think
carefully.
“I don’t know. There is no news at all. Maybe… they betrayed me?” Ingrid’s eyes were dull, and there had never been a moment when her mind was in such a mess.
Ingrid thought, what should I do? Declan is discharged from the hospital. I can’t control him anymore. Is this all his doing behind the scenes? That’s why Vicente went to turn himself in. He wanted to make a will when he looked like he is about to die. It’s all done for her to see. He’s completely fine, isn’t he?
“Don’t think too much. Let’s make a phone call and see if we can get through,” Hannah said in a deep voice.
Ingrid was numb, but she still listened to Hannah’s words. She slowly picked up her phone and
dialed that contact number.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered it. It was until the phone hung up automatically that her
eyes
dimmed even more. “Look, I was right.”
“This is indeed wrong. We have to think of a good way to cope with it. Let’s find your father first and
see if he knows,” after thinking about it, Hannah said.
“Dad?” Ingrid laughed and shook her head. “He probably doesn’t want to recognize me as his daughter anymore. He’ll definitely be happy if I am to suffer. He might even be involved in this
matter. If his son could be saved, he wouldn’t care about me.”
“Ingrid, don’t be lost in various fancies and conjectures. Right now, Declan is not here, and we still don’t know what’s going on. You can’t panic! Listen to me, call your father first, and we will investigate the situation first, then decide what to do next.”
After being persuaded by Hannah, Ingrid finally woke up a little. There was indeed no better way.
When Ingrid was about to make a call, she thought for a moment and said, “Wait a minute, Mom. I have something to do. I have to go do it first.”
After Ingrid finished speaking, she turned around and left. Hannah was startled, but she did not ask further and quickly followed behind her.
“Mr. Evans, is Declan discharged from the hospital? Did you approve it?” Ingrid asked as she walked quickly to the director’s office and pushed the door.
open.
