Chapter 250
“I wonder if they’ll let me into the detention center?”
Lucille muttered to herself.
That’s right, the detention center!
She was his own daughter. What could be wrong with visiting her father?
So, the first thing she did after landing was go to the detention center, telling them she was Jaxon Radford’s daughter and asking if she could see him.
As expected, the officer at the detention center told her that Jaxon had already been bailed out.
She asked anxiously, “Sorry, I just got back from abroad. Do you happen to know who posted bail for my dad?”
A lawyer.
The family had hired a lawyer for Jaxon and paid the bail.
If the family had the money, or if her mom and brother had been willing to spend it, her dad would have been out long ago. The only reason they hadn’t bailed him out or hired a lawyer was because they didn’t have the money, or her mom refused to spend it.
So it looked like someone else had put up the money.
“I know who to ask.”
Lucille squatted by the entrance of the detention center, suddenly feeling completely defeated.
“Cedrick Maynard?”
Aydan guessed.
Lucille didn’t say anything. She just took out her phone, looked at the long list of red missed calls, and dialed the number back.
The person on the other end picked up instantly, their voice sounding pleasantly surprised. “Lucille?

Why didn’t you tell me which flight you were on?
I would have picked you up!
Where are you now?
Tll come over right away.”
“Where’s Grandma?”
She wasn’t interested in his rambling; she just asked coldly.
“Grandma?”
Cedrick chuckled. “You’re the one who hid Grandma from me, and now you’re asking me?”
“Tell me where Grandma is!”
Lucille was going crazy, screaming into the phone.
Cedrick finally realized something was wrong. “Lucille, what are you talking about?
What’s wrong?
What happened to Grandma?”
“Grandma’s missing!
What did you do with Grandma!
Tell me!”
Lucille started crying and shouting into the phone. She was seared, worried, her heart twisted into a knot, but she had been holding it all in, trying to tell herself to be calm, calm, to think about what to do and not get emotional
But at that moment, she really broke down. If Cedrick had been in front of her right then, she probably would have stabbed him.
“Grandma’s missing?
Lucille!

From the sound of it, he didn’t know where Grandma was either, which was even more
terrifying…
A chill ran down Lucille’s spine. She wiped away her tears, trying to pull herself together, and asked through gritted teeth, “Cedrick, tell me the truth. Was it you who hired the lawyer to bail out my dad?”
“No!”
He denied it immediately. “You told me to stay out of it, and of course, I listened to you.”
Lucille’s hand went limp, and the phone fell to the ground.
Cedrick might be a scumbag, but he didn’t lie.
