Chapter 420
Running to the Savages for help now would be disastrous. In the best-case scenario, they would ignore the
situation while using it as an excuse to break off the engagement. At worst, they might pull strings behind the
scenes to get Diana a harsher sentence.
This would then give them the perfect justification to back out of the marriage agreement, and they would not
seem dishonorable to the outsiders.
"We barely interact with the Savages as it is. Suddenly asking for their help would be pointless." Joe weighed the
bigger picture. Approaching the Savages now would be a great mistake.

Yvonne kept quiet, but she smirked a little when no one was looking. She had expected Joe's reaction.
Suggesting Yolanda ask Gavin for help had been a calculated move as well. The impossibility of approaching the
Savages would only show how useless Yolanda was.
"So you really are worthless after all!" Paul rolled his eyes at Yolanda before turning to Joe and said, "Uncle Joe,
don't worry. I've already called my girlfriend. She'll be here soon."
Paul could not resist showing off his girlfriend, who was the daughter of the Sheriden family. He also saw an
opportunity to have Joe owe him one. That way, Joe and his family would have to remember his favor whether for
future business advantages or when Vivian's estate was divided up.
Joe saw right through Paul's scheme. But with Diana's freedom at stake, he could not afford to be picky. He
managed a strained smile and said, "Thank you for your help then."
"Don't worry! The Sheridens have extensive connections in Riverdale!" Alice chimed in. "Once my future
daughter-in-law gets involved, this will be sorted out in no time. Diana will be hbefore you know it!"
Joe's worried expression eased a little at their words. While the Sheriden Corporation was not quite top-tier in
Riverdale, they still had considerable influence. Maybe their heiress really could get Diana out of this mess.
Yolanda watched silently as Paul and Alice reassured Joe. They were deluding themselves.
Pharmaceutical fraud was not something they could just make disappear. But since Joe put so much faith in
Harold's family, she would watch how they planned to "rescue" Diana.
Twenty minutes later, a sports car pulled up outside the Henderson residence. A short-haired woman stepped out
wearing stilettos, a mini dress with spaghetti straps, and a motorcycle jacket over it.
"Skylar, you're here!" Paul jumped up to greet his girlfriend before taking her jacket. That woman was Skylar
Sheriden, the heiress of Sheriden Corporation. "Ms. Sheriden, it's been a while!" Harold and Alice stood to
welcher. Skylar nodded at them. "Don't worry, I've already got people looking into it." "Letintroduce
you. This is my uncle, Joe Henderson, the president of Henderson Group," Paul told her.
"Pleased to meet you, Ms. Sheriden," Joe stood to greet her too.
"And this is my cousin, Yvonne." Paul continued the introductions, but he ignored Yolanda on purpose. "That ugly
one over there is just a useless piece of trash. Don't bother talking to her."
