Chapter 200 Busted
Wanda had no idea why the front desk staff was behaving as if they didn’t know her.
It was her family’s business, after all. She saw no reason as to why she had to get permission to see her
husband.
Nonetheless, she was happy. The live–streaming channel that came with thousands of followers would
soon be hers.
Money from the channel would pour in without her having to do any work. She could forgive the front
desk staff’s attitude for now.
“You said to go easy on Wynter by paying her to give up her channel. But we should have just threatened to put her behind bars in the first place.

“It’s about time she finds out she’s nothing without us,” Wanda declared smugly as she set her of
coffee down on the table.
Ewan didn’t care about all that. He only wanted to know one thing. “What did Mom say when you showed
up to negotiate with her?”
“What else? She wanted me to save Wynter, of course,” Wanda said nonchalantly. “That live–streaming
channel will be ours in an hour.”
Ewan quickly poured his wife a cup of tea. “And?”
“We get the final say on whether Wynter is released or not.” Wanda snorted. “Also, whether or not she’ll have a criminal record depends entirely on her attitude at the time of bail.
“If that brat is still as arrogant as before, then we’ll have her charged for assaulting an officer on duty.
“The live–streaming channel would be ours by then. The old lady won’t be able to do anything to stop us.”
Ewan looked pensive as he said, “Don’t put Wynter behind bars. I don’t want Mom to get into a dramatic
mood. She might come over and make a scene over it.”
“We’ll see,” Wanda said as she lifted her chin. “Maybe we’ll feel differently wh
e time comes.”
“So is the live–streaming channel going to be ours for real?” Ewan asked, squeezing his wife’s shoulders.
“The old lady still has the agreement with her,” Wanda pointed out.
She tapped her screen and added, “With all the backlash surrounding Wynter, I doubt the old lady would
be stupid enough to keep the live–streaming channel.
“It’s worthless now that its reputation is down the drain.”
Ewan’s brows furrowed. “Won’t that be troublesome for us then?”
“With The Nines Entertainment operating it for us, we’ll be fine. They’ve always been good at manipulating
the narrative,” Wanda pointed out.

After some contemplation, she said. “Besides, the live–streaming channel is gaining clout now that everyone’s condemning it.
“When we go live tomorrow and the viewers discover we have a new streamer, an expert from the Shepherds, they’ll come around.
“It’s all the trend these days on the internet,” Wanda concluded confidently, taking a sip of tea. “By then, we’ll pin all the blame on Wynter.
“We’ll let everyone know we disapprove of her attitude. All will be fine after that.”
Ewan wasn’t familiar with how social media and live–streaming worked. However, he felt assured that the Shepherds would be involved. “You’re brilliant, Wanda!”
“I know,” she chirped, practically buzzing with glee. “Now all there’s left to do is to celebrate after we get the agreement.”
However, the words had only just left her mouth when the phone on the office desk rang. It was so loud and unexpected that it made Ewan and Wanda jump.
“Who in their right mind would call the office at this hour?” Wanda asked unhappily.
She patted her chest to calm her racing heart. Ewan picked up the phone, but the next moment, his smile
slipped.
Wanda heard him ask, “What did you say?”
“Mr. Yates, the police and officers from the Industry and Commerce Bureau are here. They’re on their way
up to your office now,” the receptionist said anxiously..
She was obviously in a hurry to explain. “I think Mr. Lambert is escorting them now. Are you and Mrs.
Yates…”
Before the receptionist finished speaking, there was a loud bang.
The office door slammed open to reveal four officers. Two of them were police officers while the other two were from the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Wallace Lambert, the Yates‘ assistant, stood ashen–faced next to the officers.
