The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President

Under the moonlight, Evelyn Davis tasted a mouthful of her red wine. The silence around her made her heart empty. This time, her phone lit up. She took a glance, seeing a text message from Xuan Jingyu.

At first, she didn't want to pay attention to it, but she opened it anyway.

"The Hawk Group evaded three billions of tax and Lucas Hawk was arrested."

She dropped her glass once she read the message.

It broke and the sound pierced clearly through the quiet night.

"Evelyn, what's the matter?" Katherine Browne woke up.

"It's okay, Mom. I was just careless. The glass fell to the ground. Take a rest. Don't worry about me."

Evelyn Davis responded while taking the broom to clean up the mess she made.

After she done cleaning it, she called Xuan Jingyu anxiously.

"Dead Girl, now you're willing to call me."

She heard his voice on the phone.

Evelyn Davis was not in the mood to play along. She held her phone tightly and asked, "What's the matter with The Hawk Group? Why was Lucas Hawk arrested?"

"Didn't I tell you already? He committed tax evasion."

"That's impossible!"

Evelyn Davis wanted to deny that, "It's impossible for him to evade taxes."

Xuan Jingyu squinted, "I wonder why you still bother to believe him. Now that the evidence is confirmed, people are believing your opposite. Even the shareholders of the Hawk Group believe it. They withdraw their capital right afterward." "Lucas Hawk is not like that!" Evelyn Davis denied it.

"Your words doesn't add up."

Xuan Jingyu chuckled over her flustered reaction.

Her words indeed didn't matter. She didn't even have the power to help proving Lucas Hawk's innocence.

Evelyn Davis was silent.

"What's wrong? Are you not talking anymore?" Xuan Jingyu lied on the sofa in his most comfortable position, "Don't you want to help Lucas Hawk?"

"What can I do for him?" Evelyn Davis cared only about Lucas Hawk. She didn't pay attention to what Xuan Jingyu was saying.

However, she knew who she was. She was merely an exiled girl. She had no power to help Lucas Hawk.

At the thought, she wondered whether her family helped him, "What about the Davis? Are they helping him out?"

"The Davis? Do you think they are able to help him this time and provide three billion for him?"

Evelyn Davis was speechless.

No one knew The Davis better than she did. She was afraid that they might be thinking about a way to break loose from the Hawk without knowing the perks would only be the opposite of beneficial. John Davis learned that Lucas Hawk was brought in for questioning. He turned to Nora Davis.

"Honey, now that Lucas Hawk is arrested, shall we take this opportunity to break the relationship with the Hawk family?"

"Who says it's time to let go?" Nora Davis' face was unpredictable, "Now that Lucas Hawk is arrested, this is the best time for us to steal from The Hawk."

John Davis frowned, "If you seize power, you won't have a good reputation after that."

"Dad, don't worry. I have a plan. It will not affect me. The one with bad reputation awaiting is the Hawk." Nora Davis stood up. She had an idea, "I'll be back to the Hawk's house, but I still need you to do something for me." She leaned to John Davis and whispered a few words. Then, she turned around and left the Davis' home.

The Hawk family was in chaos. After they learned that Lucas Hawk was arrested, they went kaput. Grandpa Hawk and Devin Hawk rushed to the company.

In the meanwhile, Mother Hawk couldn't wait for information patiently.

She wanted to gather any information from her trusted ladies, but they were hiding from her.

"Damn these snobs. Lucas have not yet being convicted, but they're already hiding from me."

She was being ignored. She was so angry that her phone fell off. She was worried about Lucas Hawk.

This time, the housekeeper came to report, "Madam, the young lady is back."

Nora Davis hurried inside, "Mom, where is grandpa? Why was Lucas arrested? Don't tell me the tax evasion is real."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Oh, you're back? Why don't you hide at the Davis?"

Mother Hawk was angry when she saw Nora Davis came back. She was about to scold her, but she could see that Nora Davis didn't look like a forger. She thought of her lady friends who were hiding from her then those sour words were swallowed. "Mom, what are you saying? How can I stay home in such situation? If you need my family's help, my father is already busy preparing the funds."

Mother Hawk was a bit relieved, but her manner of speaking was still harsh, "What can you do for us? I'm already grateful that you can stay home and not giving Lucas additional trouble."

"Mom, just tell me if you need any help."

Mother Hawk waved her hand impatiently, "Okay. You can go back."

Nora Davis nodded and left. When she turned to leave, her eyes flashed with bad intention.

She left the main house, but she didn't return to her new house with Lucas. She left directly to the head office.

Grandpa Hawk and Devin Hawk had appeased all the employees.

When she arrived at the company, she narrowed her eyes when she saw the situation was calm. She walked to the elevator.

"Young lady."

The old manager was her coming and stood up respectfully.

"Is grandpa here?" Nora Davis pretended to ask.

"Yes. Come with me."

The old manager knocked on the glass door of the office.

"Come in."

The manager pushed the door open for Nora Davis.

Grandpa Hawk looked up and asked, "Nora, why are you here?"

"I saw something happened to Lucas in the news. I was worried so I came to help. Grandpa, what can I do?"

Grandpa Hawk said with a smile, "I appreciate your concern, but I don't need your help for the time being."

"Grandpa, please, don't be so polite to me. Lucas is being questioned. The company depends on you and father-in-law. Just in case you're too tired to handle all these, you can let me take care of it. I don't think if it's a small or big thing, you can always ask me to do something to help and you don't have to worry about it."

Nora Davis came with a plan. How could she let the plan in vain?

Grandpa Hawk didn't know her evil intention. His heart only grew fonder after he heard her words.

At last, he didn't refuse her sugar-coated words and agreed to her request, "Okay. I'll arrange something for you. I remember that you studied finance. You can take over Lucas' position while he is in jail. I'll leave with your father-in-law to take care of other things and see if I can bail Lucas in advance."

Nora Davis nodded, "Okay, but if Lucas were to be bailed earlier, shouldn't we make up the missing taxes?"
