A Contract Marriage With My Boss - Chapter 146

Sarah answered in a hurry, “I’m not escaping, I just want to see the news. Something is going on, and I need to see it! Please let me see the news.” Sarah threw all her belongings and started to run.

The two guys were about to chase her but had to be careful not to attract unwanted attention from the secret police patrolling the airport. However, as soon as those policemen saw them, they communicated through their walkie-talkie and came towards them as if they knew who they were, and we’re going to arrest them.

Surprised, one of the criminals asked. “What’s going on? The cops are coming towards us!”

The other criminal looked toward the cops and said. “Stay calm, maybe they are not after us. We have to remain calm!”

More and more police officers arrived and came running straight toward them. Seeing that they were caught, one of them shouted, “Run! something is going on here!”

Panicked, they ran off as the police chased after them, shouting, “Freeze, freeze!” They ran out of the waiting room.

Sarah only cared about the news, not paying attention to what was happening behind her. She just ran and ran, and finally saw a small shop that had a TV. Sarah rushed over and saw the shopkeeper watching the TV drama. Patting the counter, she shouted excitedly.

“Hello, can you turn the channels to the news? Please, please! I need to see the news.”

But the shopkeeper just looked at her confused, not understanding what was going on. Not wanting to interrupt her show, she said in a frustrated tone. “Shit, no!” Then she continued watching her show with her daughter, ignoring Sarah’s presence.

In a desperate attempt to persuade the shopkeeper to help her, Sarah took out some money and pleaded. “Please, help me out, I need to see the news, please!”

Seeing the money, the shopkeeper finally turned the channel. Unfortunately, the news about Mr. Thomas’s company was over, and the international press was being broadcasted. Seeing this, Sarah was so sad she wanted to cry.

At this moment, an old man who was sitting beside them reading his newspaper, said, “Are you after the news about Thomas’s company? You can read this newspaper!” He held his paper toward her.

Sarah quickly took the newspaper and saw a headline about Thomas’s company. Straining her eyes, she skimmed the article for keywords, her hands trembling heavily.

That old man saw how nervous she was and asked, “Are you okay? Are you close to them?”

Sarah read the article carefully, shook her head, and then gave the newspaper back to him. She couldn’t say anything for a while until finally, she managed to barely audible. “I’m okay, thank you!”

The old man took his paper back, shaking his head. “Well, they have such a big business, no one expected them to be involved in such dark things. Look, this is their end! Their son unveils them. Not sure what to think. Strong or unfilial? He had his own mother arrested!”

Another young man, who looked like a college student, came over to buy something from the shop and overheard the conversation and offered his opinion.

“Well, sir, I disagree with you. In my opinion, Charles did the right thing! They’re still in time to correct some of his mother’s mistakes. If he didn’t turn her in, it would only have gotten worse. Who knows where she would have ended up? In a way, he is helping his mother!”

The old man nodded his head, but he still added. “But he is too cruel, turning his own mother over to the authorities!”

“Even the king is subject to the law. Mrs. Thomas deserves to be jailed for several years. Charles may just have saved her life before she would have been put behind bars for life!”

Since the two could agree on their opinions, they both shook their heads and left.

Sarah was still standing there, unable to digest what she had just learned. As those men had rightly discussed, Thomas’s company had been involved with underground smuggling. Charles had turned his mom in when the police came to investigate. After the investigation, the police found Mrs. Thomas to be involved in a kidnapping. The investigation had led the police to the abandoned warehouse to catch the kidnappers.

Fortunately, by the time the police arrived, Sarah had already left, and the police had been able to proceed without much trouble, arresting the gang all at once.

Charles had accused Christina. Hearing this, Sarah didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh. It was all so ridiculous. The person who always made trouble for her was now accused and in trouble. Should she be happy?

But rather than laughing, she felt sad. Why did Charles give his mother to the police? He had trusted Christina and Emma but had also gone with the police to the place where the kidnappers had kept her, watching them getting arrested. What was more, Thomas’s Company was working with underground gangsters. Would he be able to help the company out of this as the president?

Would he not be investigated by the police? Was he safe?

What a pity really for Mr. Thomas, who had worked so hard to create a kingdom, just to have it destroyed by his wife right after his passing.

But had it anything to do with her now? She had left the Thomas family with all their affairs. Sarah felt it was ridiculous that she is still worried about them. Now that she had finally gone, she shouldn’t think about Charles and Christina any longer. It was all over now. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with her anymore, right?

She turned around to leave the shop, but the shopkeeper behind her said, “Hey, Miss, didn’t you want to see the news? Here it is. Look, do you want to see it?” Maybe it was because she had taken Sarah’s money, she was acting kinder now.

Sarah turned back to look at the TV at the same moment as the camera set to Charles. Countless microphones were being held towards him by reports which were all eager to get some information from him.. Some of them were asking about his feelings about the incident and his mother’s involvement, and why he had accused his mother? Another one asked why he followed the police to the old warehouse where the gang members had been.
