When it rains, it pours. Yayoi’s problem had not been solved, Juliet had a problem.

The Discipline Inspection Team took Mr. Elton away for corruption and bribery. Sara was shocked when she

learned of this.

In her mind, Lord Elton was a person of integrity. How could he do such a thing?

When Sara arrived at Elton Villa, Juliet was comforting her crying mother.

“Mom, Dad is not that kind of person. I think he’ll be coming home soon.”

Juliet didn’t believe that her father would contravene his principles, least of all in the anti-corruption campaign.

“Juliet… if your father…”

Miss Elton cried so hard she couldn’t finish her words.

“Mom, don’t think too much about it. Believe in daddy. He’ll be back soon.”

Juliet stroked her mother’s back and pulled her into her arms.

Seeing that Mrs. Elton was so sad, Sara felt sorry for her. She walked over and called softly, “Mrs. Elton, Juliet.”

Juliet and Mrs. Elton looked at her.

“Sara.” Juliet forced a smile at Sara.

Miss Elton wiped away tears and managed a smile. “Hello, Sara.”

Sara felt terrible for them.

“Don’t worry, Miss Elton and Juliet. Mr. Elton will be back safe and sound.” Sara knew this kind of consolation looked pale and impotent, but at that moment she couldn’t say anything else.

Juliet stared at Sara for a while, then turned to her mother and said softly,

“Mom, I have something to talk to Sara about. I’ll be right back.”

Mrs. Elton nodded, “Well, you two go ahead.”

Sara looked at Juliet hesitantly and saw Juliet get up and pull her toward the backyard.

When they reached the backyard, Juliet let go of her hand and turned her back to Sara.

“Juliet, is there something you want to tell me?” asked Sara.

“Sara…” Juliet turned around and looked at her with a hesitant expression.

“Juliet, is there anything you can’t say between us?” Sara smiled.

Juliet took a deep breath and said, “Sara, can you ask Mr. Leo to help my father?”

It turned out that was why she was having such a hard time talking.

Sara smiled and said, “Juliet, after I found out the thing, I asked Leo to help me look into what had happened to Mr. Elton.”

Sara shook her head, “Don’t mention it. Mr. and Mrs. Elton treat me so well that I should do something for them.”

Juliet looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Such was the friendship between the three of them.

“So…” Sara gripped her hand tightly and gave her a relieved smile. “Don’t worry, I think Lord Elton definitely won’t do that kind of thing. We’re going to clear his name.”

Juliet nodded, tears streaming down her face.

Sara’s eyes watered as well.

She wiped Juliet’s tears and said helplessly,

“Silly, you’re the strongest of the three of us, why are you crying?”

“Sara” Juliet threw herself into her embrace, crying so hard she couldn’t contain herself.

Juliet feared her distraught mother would feel worse. So she had been vigorously suppressing her own sadness.

Now, in front of the worried Sara, she couldn’t help crying.

Sara gently stroked his back.

She didn’t say much, but remained silent at his side.

“Father still took action.”

After Leo heard Lane’s report, a serious expression appeared on his handsome face.

It was strange that Juliet’s father was suddenly being prosecuted for corrupt and bribed anonymously.

When Kate asked him to look into it, he immediately asked Lane to do so.

And this investigation proved her assumption.

“What should we do now?” Lane’s expression was also somewhat serious. He was clear about how complicated the Lu Family’s situation was.

He was also clear why Mr. Benson acted against the Eltons this time. He wanted to use Mr. Payton to contain Mr. Leo.

Leo’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of sharpness. “You’ve gone too far. You think you can do whatever you want in Benin City like you can in the Capital?”

Leo laughed coldly. Then he looked at Lane, “Go visit Juliet’s father.”

Lane nodded, “Okay, I’ll go now.”

The anonymous tipster needed evidence to prosecute Mr. Elton. Where was the evidence?

The Discipline Inspection Team moved even faster than Leo. They took Mr. Elton away and questioned him.

Mr. Elton insisted that he had not accepted bribes and that they had arrested the wrong person.

They therefore applied for a search warrant and conducted a thorough search of the Elton Villa.

They found a lot of cash, all in a bundle, totaling at least 10 million.

The money was piled on the coffee table in the living room. When Juliet and Mrs. Elton saw the pile of cash, they were completely shocked.

They never thought there would be such a large amount of money in their house.

Sara looked at the pile of money with a solemn expression.

Could it be that Mr. Elton had really been embezzled? Did they believe the wrong person?

If Lord Elton really was taking advantage of his position to accept bribes, then no one could save him.

“This is not our money.”

Miss Elton reacted and shouted at the people from the Discipline Inspection Team, “We don’t have that much money. We’ve been set up.”

“If it’s not your money, whose money is it? This was found here.”

The head of the Discipline Inspection Team looked coldly at Miss Elton and said to his team, “Take a picture and ask someone to count the numbers.”

Then, he told Ms. Elton, “Mr. Elton can’t get away this time. You’d better be ready.”

Miss Elton gasped and nearly fainted. Fortunately, Juliet and Sara held her up in time.

They helped Miss Elton sit up on the couch. Seeing her mother in a daze, Juliet didn’t care about her own feelings. She gripped tightly

She held her mother’s cold hand tightly and, turning to the members of the disciplinary inspection team, told them, “My father has been in power for many years and always does everything he can. Everyone in Benin can see that. If he is really corrupt, I have nothing to say. But if not, please clear his name.”

Juliet knew her father.

He was an honest and respectable person, he could never do such a thing.
