Chapter 268 Deliberate Arson
Joe stood still there for a long time until the patrolling security came to check the situation, he then turned and left.
Without Patrick’s mediation, Tony’s case was quickly decided.
For multiple crimes, Tony was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Not only that, the case of Stacy was also finally found out. In addition to the business spy case, there were also kidnappings, trafficking, and even gambling, usury, etc., and all of those resulted in her being sentenced to ten years.
It was not until this time that Stacy seemed to finally wake up
from
anger and hurriedly wanted to find Wendy to help her appeal.
Not to mention that Wendy was in a difficult position herself, even if she had the ability, she would never help Stacy at all. She even wished that Stacy was sentenced to a heavier punishment.
After being rejected by Wendy, Stacy cried wildly, but no one would help her anymore.
When Tony learned that he had been sentenced to 35 years, Patrick almost fainted.
These days, he could be said to have experienced all the upheavals and hardships of life.
He originally thought that it would be easy for him to take back the Pope Group, but when he secretly went to find his former subordinates, he discovered that the people who still were stayed had already been taken under Trevor’s command, and it was impossible for them to help him.
Those who were loyal to him were also imprisoned by various tip–offs.
“Bastard!”
Patrick cursed fiercely. He never expected that he would actually end up alone and isolated due to others.
The more Patrick thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply went back to the attic at home and pulled out a bunch of things.
If Charlotte and Trevor hadn’t colluded together, how could he have ended up like this?

In the dead of night, he put on a black jacket and sneaked into Charlotte’s neighborhood.
What he didn’t know was that he was spotted just as he got close to the villa.
The person was actually Ben.
‘Mom! There’s a bad guy!” Ben ran to Charlotte’s room in his Altman pajamas and woke her up.
Charlotte was taken aback, “What?”
She subconsciously held Ben in her arms and asked, “Where’s
Anna?”
Ben pointed downstairs, “When I got up, Erik, Gorya, and Mandy were already up.”
Are all three of them up?
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief since they didn’t intend to wake her up, it was probably not going to be that big of an issue.
After thinking for a while, she got up and followed Ben downstairs.
Unexpectedly, none of them turned on the lights but drew the curtains tightly, and the three of them sat around in the storage
room.
Anna nestled in Mandy’s arms. After seeing Charlotte, she rushed over.
“What’s going on?”
After quickly catching Anna, Charlotte asked in confusion.
Mandy pointed to the black figure on the screen who was crawling in with an iron bucket looking for a suitable place.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes. “Patrick Pope”
“From his movements, he seems to be preparing to set fire to the house.” Erik analyzed calmly.
However, Patrick didn’t expect that not only were cameras installed, but also infrared anti–theft devices around the villa. As soon as he approached, Erik and others found out and even sat calmly in front of the screen to watch his movements.
She suddenly felt a little sympathy for Patrick.
“Do you want us to catch him now?” Mandy turned around and asked Charlotte.
Charlotte shook her head and said, “No need, let him set the fire
first.”
