Chapter 1191 - 1131: Stay Humble in Times of Glory

With the widespread use of the internet and the rapid development of communication satellites, the police have installed the "Skynet" system in every city street and alley to detect and handle crimes as they occur.

Sienna Johnson, with red eyes, said, "Mrs. Evans, my husband has been in a coma for half a month already, I beg you to have mercy on me, let Ivy Evans give me the antidote. As long as Ivy can give me the antidote, I’ll do anything."

"..."

"I don’t want my child to be born without a father’s presence... our family cannot do without Adrian Desmond." Sienna Johnson spoke pitifully, completely positioning herself as the victim.

Madison Jones scolded, "You little vixen, stop spreading lies, it was clearly you who harmed Ivy, and now you’re playing the victim."

Grandpa Briggs reprimanded Madison Jones, "Outrageous! This is the Briggs Family, you can’t act recklessly here!"

"..."

Grandpa Briggs said to Bernard Jones, "Bernard, the evidence is clear, what do you have to say?"

What could Bernard Jones say? If he continued to defend his granddaughter, it would be tantamount to making an enemy of the entire Briggs Family. A married granddaughter is not worth such a sacrifice from Bernard Jones.

Seeing that her grandfather was silent and seemingly ready to compromise, Madison Jones cried, "Grandpa, Dad, you must save Ivy... you don’t know how pitiful she is, sob sob..."

Fraidy Young held back a breath, looking at Madison Jones made her even angrier.

"Madison Jones, you better run, the police are coming to arrest you. I’ve already told the police you’re here, they will be here soon to arrest you."

"..."

"Don’t blame me for not showing mercy. The Briggs Family are prominent people, we don’t want to be accused of harboring criminals."

Bernard Jones asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"You still don’t know? Your granddaughter is quite something, she has opened a brothel, where her daughter works as a prostitute and she is the madam. Others open brothels to make money, Madison Jones not only did that but also lost money," Fraidy Young said quickly.

Lucy Briggs asked, "Aunt, clarify for us, what exactly is going on?"

Fraidy Young, with excitement, said, "I also want to know what’s going on. In this world, there are mothers who pay to have men use their daughters. Tsk tsk... indeed, as one grows older, they see everything."

These words caused an uproar.

Bernard Jones glared at Madison Jones and asked, "Madison Jones, what’s going on?"

"I..." Madison Jones stammered, unable to provide any explanation. Bernard Jones, seeing her like that, knew it was true; otherwise, with Madison’s temperament, she would never allow anyone to slander her, she would have refuted it long ago.

His three grandsons were facing an election cycle, and at such a critical time, if a family scandal erupted, it would be troublesome.

Bernard Jones, having navigated the political arena his entire life, understood the importance of making choices. He glanced at the now considerably aged Madison Jones and quickly made his decision.

A married granddaughter is nothing compared to grandsons.

"Old Briggs, I truly knew nothing and was kept in the dark by my granddaughter. Rest assured, if she did wrong, she should face whatever punishment is due, the Jones Family will not shield her." Bernard Jones disassociated himself completely.

On the side, Madison Jones’s father wanted to say something but was stopped by Bernard Jones.

"Old Briggs, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer. I will definitely come another day to apologize."

Bernard Jones stood up, intending to make his exit.

Grandpa Briggs asked, "What about your grandson’s matter?"

Bernard Jones assured, "Don’t worry, I’ll address it within my family. If anyone dares trouble your grandson again, I won’t let it go unpunished!"

Grandpa Briggs was waiting for these words, "Then I’m relieved."

"Farewell."

"Take care, I won’t see you out."

Seeing his eldest son standing by Madison Jones without moving, Bernard Jones shouted, "Son, why are you still standing there, let’s go."

"Dad! Little Yan, she..." Ultimately, she was his daughter; Madison Jones’s father couldn’t remain indifferent.

"Shut up, aren’t you listening to me anymore?" Bernard Jones reprimanded.

"Brother, let’s go."

The three men from the Jones Family left Madison Jones behind and walked away in dismay. This battle was a complete defeat for the Jones Family, and for Madison Jones, it was a total disaster.

Madison Jones initially thought the Jones Family would back her and force Sienna to give up the antidote to save Ivy, but she never expected the Jones Family would abandon her.

Fraidy Young looked at the disheartened Madison Jones and said, "Madison Jones, hurry and leave, or the police will come soon. If they catch you, you’ll lose all dignity and reputation."

Lucy Briggs asked, "Aunt, what about Ivy Evans?"

"What else? The charge of organizing a debauched gathering is enough trouble for her."

Madison Jones suddenly realized and asked, "You mean Ivy was also arrested?"

"Under the bright sky, you and your daughter have such depraved morals, breaking societal rules. Who else would the police arrest?" Fraidy Young stated.

"Ivy!" Madison Jones shouted and ran out.

Lucy Briggs watched the pitiful Madison Jones, sighing, "To think Madison Jones was once so glamorous, and now she’s fallen so low."

Madison Jones had married into the Evans family before Lucy Briggs, yet because Lucy’s dowry was greater than Madison’s, Madison used the Jones Family’s influence to trouble Lucy’s maternal family.

Later, Rebecca was forced, under pressure, to cut her dowry in half and secretly give the other half back to Lucy.

At the time, Lucy Briggs had been utterly frustrated.

Rebecca also recalled the past and said to her daughter, "People, when they’re in the spotlight, should remain low-key, otherwise, being too high-profile can offend everyone, and when they fall, it’s tragic."

"Indeed." Having been oppressed by Madison Jones for so long, Lucy Briggs finally felt a sense of relief.

The wicked will be punished, if not now, then soon.

Sienna Johnson also breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually prepared a backup plan in case the Jones Family became overly aggressive.

Now that the Jones Family had retreated, Sienna felt a heavy weight lifted from her heart. In her current situation, a direct confrontation with the Jones Family was not advisable.

"Sienna, come with me to the study." Grandpa Briggs suddenly said to the silently watching Sienna Johnson.

"Ah?" Sienna was momentarily stunned.

Grandpa Briggs said, "I have something to tell you."

Pauline Briggs saw her father’s serious expression and asked, "Dad, what do you need to discuss with Sienna?"

Grandpa Briggs stood up, hands behind his back, and walked out with large strides. Sienna Johnson stood up and followed him out.
