Chapter 569: Seth Returned
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Ritchie was away on a business trip to another city.Since his last phone call with his mother, he had put
the matter out of his mind.He thought it was not a big deal and nothing would happen.
However, when he finally returned home, he looked around the place but didnât see Elissa.He asked
the servant curiously, "Where is my mother? She should be playing cards with the other wealthy ladies
at home at this time."
The servant faltered, "Mrs.Lester...She was arrested by the police two days ago."
"Does my dad know about this?" Ritchie was flabbergasted.
"Didnât he stop them?"
The servant didnât know the details and simply said, "Sir, you will have to ask Mr.Lester yourself.I donât
have the answers."

Ritchie rushed to Patrick, who was busy in the middle of a meeting.His secretary and assistant tried to
stop Ritchie from barging in.
In a fit of rage, he pushed them aside and stormed into the board room.
"Dad, arenât you going to do something about Mom? You just stood there and watched Ethan put her in
jail?" Ritchie said, enraged.
Patrickâs face darkened.He had made up his mind and wouldnât falter in his resolve.He said, "There is
no room for discussion about this.If you donât want me to get angry, you better get out of my sight right
this instant."
Ritchie clenched his teeth in fury.When he was just about to say something, Patrickâs secretary entered
the office and whispered something covertly in Patrickâs ear.
"Sir, Mr.Seth Lester has returned.He is waiting for you in your office."
Ritchie managed to overhear the whisper and was quite pleasantly surprised by the information.
"Seth has returned?"
Seth would be much helpful than him.
Patrick had always held Seth in much higher regard than him.
Upon hearing this, Patrickâs face darkened.He announced the end of the meeting and went back to his
office.
At that moment, there was a man in a smart brown suit sitting in Patrickâs office.
The man was in his thirties and looked like he belonged to the circle of the business elite.
Like a refined gentleman, he smiled at the assistant who brought him coffee and thanked her with a
certain sort of charm.
After the assistant left, he picked up the cup of coffee and raised his gaze.He saw Patrick, who came in
with Ritchie behind him.
"Dad, Ritchie."
Seth put down the cup, crossed his legs and observed them carefully.
Seth had lived in Sugden for many years.
Since he got married, he had seldom come back to Seacisco for anything.
"Did you come back for your Mom?"
Patrick got straight to the point and took a seat on the couch next to him.
Sethâs relationship with Elissa was not as close as that of Ritchieâs.
However, no matter what, Elissa was still his mother and he couldnât sit back and do nothing about her
imprisonment.
However, he knew that Patrick was a cold and ruthless man.
Under such circumstances, he knew there was nothing he could say to change Patrickâs mind.
He and Ritchie had to help their mother out of jail by themselves.
"No, Dad.I always respect your decisions.I came back mainly to see you.I havenât seen you for a long
time.I thought we should have a small get together."
Seth remained calm.He didnât make any mention about Elissa.
"Iâm busy these days.Iâm divorcing your mother, and I need to go to the lawyerâs office later,"
Patrick unbuttoned his suit buttons and looked exhausted.
"I have a meeting scheduled to start quite soon.You two catch up."
After saying that, Patrick left.Seeing that Patrick had left, Ritchie became anxious.
"Seth, why didnât you say anything about Mom? If you donât care about her at all, why did you even
bother coming back here?"
Seth signaled his brother to calm down and said, "Donât worry.Dad doesnât intend to do anything, but it
seems he wonât stop us from trying to get Mom out of jail."
As he played with the ring on his ring finger, Sethâs eyes turned cold.He frowned and said, "Before I
came back, I investigated the matter in great detail.Ethan has collected all the evidence he needs to
convict Mom.The Larson Group is equally as powerful as the Lester Group.He has all the evidence and
we donât even have Dadâs support.The odds are against us so this might be tricky."
