Chapter 838 - What L Wants (1/2)

John Wendell could not be tried because he got another heart attack on the way to the hospital and could not be saved. Caroline quickly disappeared after her father's death, and she could never be found again.

Danny Swann attempted suicide in prison before the trial but was saved by the warden, and since then, he had been placed under maximum surveillance. Two months later, the court sentenced him to life imprisonment for the attempted murder of both L and Lily, mother and child.

He repeatedly asked through his lawyer to meet L, but the girl refused. London Schneider absolutely did not allow his wife to take any risks by meeting a criminal in prison.

To prevent unwanted things from happening in the future, London ordered Carl, his chief of intelligence, to investigate Caroline's whereabouts. He did not want the girl to suddenly appear and bothered his family.

”I found her, Sir. Caroline is currently fleeing to America. She quit her medical studies. Now she works as a babysitter in Los Angeles for a wealthy Hollywood couple. She is trying to get into the upper classes there to get a husband from the upper classes.” Carl reported a month later.

London, who heard the information from Carl, just nodded. With her beauty and intelligence, he was sure that Caroline would be able to find rich men to lean on. Maybe not even as rich as Danny Swann, but now she should have learned her lesson and not try to be greedy.

”All right. Keep an eye on her, but don't need to be too strict. If there are new developments about her, please let me know. I don't like surprises,” London said.

”Yes, Sir,” Carl said respectfully. He then excused himself and resumed his work.

The new year will come very soon, London thought. He had given L a special birthday present the previous month, which was to bring the bad guys, who had made her suffer, to justice. Now L had turned 20 years old and she had got over all the bitterness that haunted her life in the past.

With the help of his lawyers, London also succeeded in taking the inheritance which L was entitled to and donated it according to his wife's wishes to various orphanages throughout Europe.

Many European countries were struggling to care for so many orphans in their social system. Some children were even sent outside of Europe to be adopted by countries with a population crisis, such as Japan and Singapore, where most of the majority of their population was aging. At the same time, birth rates there were very low.

L was very sad when she read about the orphans being sent to Asia. Not only would they lose a connection to their homeland, but they would also have trouble mingling in a new country because of their different physical appearance. And what's worse, as it turned out, many of these children were sent only with a simple bag containing all their worldly possession.

”If I hadn't left the orphanage system four years ago and worked to support myself, maybe I too would be part of them ...” L said despondently as she read the news about the fate of the orphans.

London pulled the troubled girl into his l.a.p and hugged the girl. ”I understand. Do you want to do something for them?”

”We can't adopt all the orphans,” L said, staring at her husband.

”We have also contributed a lot to improve their quality of life,” London replied. ”Are there any more things that come to your mind?”

L nodded. ”I'm not educated ... You know that. I want to catch up on my education by home-schooling and get my high school diploma. Then I want to go to college. I'm sure many of those kids also want to be able to continue their education.”

”Do you want to give them scholarsh.i.p.s?” asked London. ”We can make a scholarship on behalf of Lily for orphans who want to continue their education. Schneider Group already has several scholarship programs, but we can add specifically for orphans.”

”I will be very happy if we can do that..” L said with a smile.

”All right. We'll do it.” London was happy to see L happy. ”I also studied with private teachers, not in public schools like everyone else. With your popularity now, it will be difficult for you to go to a regular university.”
