Chapter 194 Going to the Police Station to Find Ashley
She shook her head, “No, I was just on the phone with a friend. Don’t ask anymore, it’s already so late.
Go wash up and get to bed early.”
Saying so, the person had already come down from the balcony and pushed me towards the
bathroom.
Indeed, it was getting late. Seeing her reluctant expression, I didn’t press her with more questions.
Alexander was not in River City, and no one in the Conner Group was handling affairs big or small. I
had no choice but to stop being lazy and go to the office early. Cory handed me a pile of documents.
I looked at the pile of documents with a bit of a headache, inevitably pinching my brow. Seeing that
Cory hadn’t left, I couldn’t help but ask, “Cory, is there anything else?”
Looking at me, Cory hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, “The news of Miss Ashley being
arrested by the police somehow got onto the internet, and it’s causing quite a stir online.”
I frowned, nodding, “There are quite a few eyes on the Conner Group. Is someone making a fuss about
this?”
“Uh-huh! The stock price was affected, it fluctuated, but the tricky part is, I received a lawyer’s letter this Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
morning.” As he spoke, he handed me a document, “It’s about the Conner family’s inheritance issue.
Miss -Ashley hired a lawyer, and her lawyer just contacted me saying that you need to give her all of
her inheritance and shares, otherwise she will sue directly.”
I pursed my lips, not uttering a word. The first thing Ashley did after

being taken away was not to discuss Henry’s death with the police, but to plan on fighting me for the
inheritance?
My father had been dead for so long, and she had been silent all this time. Initially, the Conner Group
was facing bankruptcy due to the loss of assets, and she didn’t fight with me because she was afraid
that the bankruptcy of the Conner Group would burden her with debt. Now that the Conner Group was
gradually stabilizing, she planned to start fighting. I wasn’t curious, just surprised, that she would send
me at lawyer’s letter at this time.
Looking at the lawyer’s letter in the document bag, I turned to Cory and said, “I’ve got this, you go
ahead with your work.”
Cory nodded, took a few steps towards the door, but he couldn’t help but turn back and ask, “How do
you plan to handle this?”
I shook my head and said truthfully, “As for the inheritance, I can’t decide it alone. I have to ask my
mother. After all, Ashley was adopted by her and my father. And if we really want to divide the
inheritance, legally, Ashley and I have the same inheritance rights.”
Cory nodded, said no more, and left.
The sudden desire of Ashley to contest the inheritance really caught me off guard. If she was truly set
on dividing the shares of the Conner Group, it meant that my father’s previous shares would be split.
Once split, the proportion of shares would decrease, and I would no longer have absolute say in many
of the Conner Group’s future decisions.
This was something that father had wanted to preserve for many years, so even though the Conner
Group had encountered quite a few troubles over the years, he never sold his shares. Even when
raising funds, he always retained absolute decision-making power.
The more I thought about this matter, the more it gave me a headache.

After spending the whole morning in the office, I still went to the police station.
The facts of Ashley’s crime had been confirmed, and all that was left was to wait for the court session
to finalize the case. At that time, she was still being held at the police station. Before I went, I had given
Lucas a heads up.
When I arrived at the police station, Lucas came out to greet me, saying, “Ms. Conner, you’re here.”
I nodded, seeing that he seemed to have something to say to me, and said with a light smile, “Lucas,
long time no see, how have you been lately?”
He chuckled, saying, “Same as usual, Ms. Conner, can we talk first?”
I smiled faintly, and agreed.
Lucas’s office.
After pouring me a glass of water, he went straight to the point and said, “I have a general
understanding of all the basic circumstances. regarding your sister. She is guilty of inciting crime, and
she also participated in it. However, since your life was not in danger, she might be sentenced to two
years of imprisonment at present.”
Two years ago!
I slightly furrowed my brows, originally I thought that for someone like her, serving five or six years in
prison was considered light. Now it seems, I was overthinking.
As expected, it was a presumption made by someone who didn’t understand the law.
After a moment of silence, I nodded and said, “Hmm, I understand.”

Ile chuckled and said, “I wasn’t going to discuss this matter with you. You should have some idea about
it. What I want to talk about is not this, but the events after Henry kidnapped you. Ms. Conner, do you
really not know where Henry is now?”
