Chapter 480 Reached The Right Person
Hearing a chance to proceed, James eagerly raised his voice, infused with rich emotion, "But someone intentionally loiters around Mr. Lawson, leading him to seemingly neglect you..."
He didn't explicitly state that Jonathan was ignoring Florence; instead, he abruptly paused there.
Of course, Florence wouldn't ask how Jonathan felt about her; she just asked, "You contacted me just to tell me a story?"
She suspected James had an ulterior motive.
Through James' earlier description, she recalled having indeed met him.
At that time, she wasn't impressed by James and became even more disdainful after learning he was associated with Angela.
But now, his carefully chosen words seemed to be targeting Angela.
She slowly prodded to see what James was up to.
James, awaiting Florence's query, seized the opportunity as soon as he heard her question, immediately explaining, "Of course not, Miss Shelton. I suddenly thought of a way that could be of help to you!"
Mentioning that he could help Florence, his emotions surged.
Florence, listening to James' tone, felt as if she were recalling the sight of his calculating face, smeared with a sycophantic smile.
She slightly furrowed her brows, chuckled coldly, and then, sarcastically asked, "How can you help me?"
James, detecting disdain and scorn in her tone and acutely sensing her irritation, felt a twitch in his eyelid, regretting his approach.
Considering his prior conjectures about Florence's temperament, James decided to risk his tentative plan, hurriedly saying, "Actually, you don't need my help; rather, I have a favor to ask of you...
Although initially unaware of Florence's disposition, James managed to grasp it through their brief conversation, learning/how to converse in a manner that pleased her.
Sure enough, upon hearing that James sought her assistance, Florence's laughter came through, sounding far more genuine than the cold chuckle when James offered help.

James heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a cold sweat on his forehead.
Touching it, he realized his brow was covered in sweat.
The renown of Miss Florence Shelton was indeed intimidating.

After Florence had laughed enough, she asked, "What favor do you want to ask of me?"
Her tone was cheerful, and her demeanor was as condescending as if she were about to bestow alms on a street beggar.
James dared not withhold any information, especially as he was genuinely concerned about Joseph's situation.
However, given Florence's attitude, he felt he might have approached the right person.
"Miss Shelton, it's like this: my younger brother was detained due to a misunderstanding, and I don't know who is exerting pressure, so I can't bail him out directly. That's why I've come to ask for your help," James explained.
Florence clicked her tongue lightly. "I thought it was something major."
Hearing her response, James felt a surge of hope. "Miss Shelton, if you help me, I will certainly repay you."
He carefully catered to Florence's temperament, appearing ready to do anything for her, betting that she wouldn't take his words seriously or give him much thought.
As expected, she chuckled disdainfully. "What help can you offer me?"
"I..." James pretended to be conflicted and upset.
However, Florence cut him off, decisively stating, "I'll have someone look into your brother's issue, considering the effort you've made to reach me."
James was thrilled with this dismissal, quickly expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Miss
Shelton."
Even though he hadn't finished thanking her before Florence briskly hung up, a look of joy and relief spread across his face.
His performance might have been somewhat humiliating, but it proved beneficial.
Believing that Florence's people would quickly find out who was applying the pressure, James rejoiced in his successful act.
Meanwhile, Florence, after hanging up, casually ordered her subordinates to investigate the

matter.
Soon, she was presented with a heap of findings.
A subordinate respectfully laid all the gathered information on the table. "Miss, we
have compiled everything we found here."
Florence, impatiently scanning the documents without intending to delve into
them, commanded, "Just tell me."
She only wanted to know who was pressuring the police to prevent Joseph's
release and was surprised by the volume of information collected.
Preferring a summary, she urged her subordinate to get to the point.
"Miss, the situation is somewhat complex, which is why we found so much
information," the subordinate explained.
"Cut the nonsense. Tell me who it is."
Although she was interested in the narrative, her curiosity about the outcome
prevailed.
"Miss, it's the Tuckson Family," he said, pulling out the documents related to the Tuckson Family.
The connection to the Tuckson Family was surprising even to her subordinates
when they uncovered it.
However, further investigation revealed it wasn't unfounded; while it might seem
unrelated on the surface, deeper links existed.
"Hmm? Which Tuckson Family?" Florence asked in confusion.

She realized after reviewing the Tuckson Family's information that they were not
a minor clan and held a respectable position in Northland's hierarchy.
No wonder James came to her for help.
Given the Tuckson Family's entangled interests with the Collier Family, directly
linking this incident to the Tuckson Family indeed seemed complex.
The subordinate promptly began to explain the connection.
It turned out that the Tuckson Family's pressure on Joseph was related to Dylan.

After suffering under the Tuckson Family's oppression due to an incident involving Yoanna's car

accident, Dylan, lacking the strength
to retaliate, harbored all his resentment towards Fanny. The

Although he despised Fanny, he never showed it and could only maneuver
stealthily due to the Tuckson Family's suppression.
When things settled slightly, he still sought revenge against Fanny, thus
deliberately getting close to the Kins Family.
Joseph was one of his targets, but before Dylan could act, Joseph got arrested.
Upon learning of the interactions between Joseph and Dylan, the Tuckson Family
effortlessly exerted their influence to ensure Joseph couldn't be bailed out immediately.
"Tsk," Florence listened, finding the situation somewhat absurd and dull.
