Chapter 1507
After speaking, Winnie ran off.
Jamie didn't chase her.
She understood that Winnie couldn't accept this, and if their roles were reversed, neither could she.
Right now, she had to find Mrs. Lucas.
She flagged down a taxi and directed it to the Lucas family estate.
It was her second time coming here.
The first time had been by Mrs. Lucas's invitation, a meeting designed to show her the opulence of the Lucas family estate and to offer her a million to leave Ben. Jamie had sworn then that she would never set foot there again. But today, she was here for Winnie.
At the gate, the security guard stopped her. "Who are you?"
"My name is Jamie Lewis," she said calmly. "Tell Mrs. Lucas I'm here to see her. She'll agree to meet me."
Jamie hadn't chased after Winnie because she wanted to give her some time to process everything. But she couldn't leave Winnie alone for too long. Time was of the essence.
Seeing her composure, the security guard decided to pass along the message.
When Mrs. Lucas heard Jamie's name, her expression darkened.
Rather than inviting Jamie inside, Mrs. Lucas came out to meet her at the gate.
The moment Jamie saw her, she understood everything.
Mrs. Lucas's icy gaze said it all. She didn't believe Jamie was worthy of stepping foot inside the Lucas family home.
Mrs. Lucas sneered. "What's the matter? Run out of money?"
Jamie pressed her lips together, her expression calm and unwavering. "I'm here because you've hurt my family. I kept my promise to you. I left Ben and stayed away, just like I said I would." But now, it was Ben who had orchestrated everything to seek her out!
Mrs. Lucas narrowed her eyes. "Hurt your family? You should already know why Ben got involved with your sister. I didn't have to lift a finger."
Her tone was scornful, but her expression didn't suggest she was lying.
If it wasn't Mrs. Lucas, then could it have been Ben himself? Or Summer?
Jamie's hesitation only made Mrs. Lucas more annoyed. "Don't project your dirty thoughts onto us."
Jamie's gaze didn't waver. "We're all dirty in this game, aren't we? Except, of course, for you, who's above it all."
Mrs. Lucas didn't take the bait.
"If it was you," Jamie warned, her tone icy, "you'd better hope I don't find out. Because if I do, I won't let you off so easily." With that, she turned and walked away without looking back.
Mrs. Lucas's face twisted in anger, but with Ben already in trouble, she decided it wasn't worth stooping to Jamie's level.
Before Nash and his group could even act, the prosecutor's office released an official report revealing evidence of Ben's secret meetings with a judge, along with charges of bribery and embezzlement

Caden.
He was Ben's best friend.
Ben was one of the most meticulous lawyers she had ever known, someone who fiercely guarded his reputation. For him to be accused of such things, it was impossible to believe.
Jamie clutched her phone tightly, her chest heavy with pain. But there was nothing she could do.
The Lucas family and Ben's friends still hadn't managed to secure his release.
"Jamie, table nine needs their order served."
The sudden call snapped Jamie out of her thoughts. She quickly refocused and carried the dishes into the private dining room.
To her shock, she saw Caden sitting inside.
Across from him was a man wearing a black mask.
"You handled this perfectly. Don't worry, everything I promised you will be delivered," the masked man said.
Jamie's eyes widened.
What had she just overheard?
She didn't dare linger. Moving
carefully, she turned and walked out of the room. Once outside, she pulled out her phone and started recording before re-entering with a bottle of wine.
Caden looked uneasy, his face full of inner turmoil.
