“Did you inform Wilson about it?” Serenity asked. She didn’t want Queenie to catch on to their plan on that day.“Yes. He promised to cooperate,” Clara said. “Great. I’ll do the rest. You guys just act natural.” “Alright.” Once the court verdict was out in three days, Clara should know Summer's whereabouts.She had to find Summer no matter what. In the evening, Clara told Wilson, “Serenity said that Queenie is going to court in three days. You…” “I know. I will do as I promised,” Wilson said. Clara was relieved to hear that. Then, Wilson looked at her. “You care so much about Summer. Was it because she once helped you in jail?” “Mhm. There aren’t a lot of people who will help you when you’re in a desperate situation.” “So, you can endure humiliation for Summer’s sake? You can even beg me without any dignity for her?” Clara lowered her gaze and said, “Summer saved Yanny and I.” “If I had helped you find out the truth and didn’t let you get wrongly convicted, wou
“Why would you want to defend me?” Queenie had asked Serenity when they first met. “Because Clara wants to find out the whereabouts of a friend, and you will tell her everything you know on the condition that you’ll be released from prison on probation.” Serenity didn’t beat around the bush. “You’re helping her because of this? A lawyer like you shouldn’t be involving yourself in this for money, right?” Queenie was sarcastic.“I’m only doing this for my friend.” “You’re the most powerful woman in the Valor family. Many people would want to suck up to you in Solaria. People like Clara are unworthy to be your friend. She’s just a tiny store owner! Don’t you feel ashamed befriending someone like her?” Queenie questioned. “You won’t make any friends with that attitude. Clara gave me a hand when I was down and out. Why would I dislike her if she hadn’t been disgusted by me from the beginning? Queenie, you didn’t want Clara to be your friend, but she remembered your kindness anyway.
It was just a play to confuse them. Many preparations were made to prevent Queenie and Martin from discovering the truth. No one could have done it in Solaria. It wasn’t easy for Jackson to be able to pull it through either. “I'm doing this because Serenity hopes that no one can get away with it after breaking the law.” Jackson smirked and continued, “Let’s sit down and watch, it’ll be over soon.” It didn't take long for the judge to pass the sentence.Martin was sentenced to life imprisonment, while Queenie was sentenced to three years of probation. Queenie smiled with satisfaction when the judge concluded the case. Martin was in disbelief and shouted, “No way! Why did she get probation?! She’s the mastermind behind this!” No one listened to him. Soon, Serenity came to the room and told Clara, “You’ll be meeting Queenie in a while. Ask her where Summer is.” “Thank you, Serenity!” “No problem. She’ll return to the detention house after she reveals Summer's whereabout
“I swear I know where Summer is. What I can offer is to text you guys her whereabouts before the plane takes off. I believe that the Valors can stop the plane from flying if I keep quiet about it,” Queenie said.Serenity stared at Queenie and pondered momentarily. “Well, then. I hope you won't go back on your word.” “Sure.” Queenie smiled. 30 million dollars were soon transferred into Queenie's account, and a flight was prepared for her. Although she couldn’t leave the city during her probation period, the Valors helped her to pull the strings. In the airport, Queenie kept looking at her phone while enjoying Serenity and Clara's escort. Before boarding the plane, Queenie smirked at Clara. “Summer probably didn't think that there were still people who were going to save her from hell. You’re so kind, Clara. I’m safe and sound thanks to Summer. I can even enjoy my time abroad.” After saying that, Queenie exited the ticket gate. “Don’t worry. She’ll get nothing in the end,” S
She was still in Solaria Airport. She looked around, and the bright wordings “Welcome to Solaria” caught her eyes. ‘I’m still… in Solaria? The plane took off and landed back in Solaria. What the hell is going on?! That was clearly a flight ticket abroad. What’s wrong? Why are the other passengers so calm?!’ Her mind raced. Queenie’s eyes widened when she saw a police car approaching. She went limp and her expression changed when she realized what was going on. Soon, the police officers walked up to her. “You’re under arrest, Queenie Yale. Come with us!” “I… I haven't committed anything, I've been put on probation by the court! Besides, I didn't leave the country, you have no reason to arrest me!” Queenie wailed. The two police officers handcuffed her quickly without listening to her explanation. “Let me go! How could you abuse your powers and arrest people at will?! I want to file a complaint! I want to expose you guys to the media! Why are you arresting me?! I’m not a cr
Queenie couldn’t care less anymore. She went out of her way and shouted at the passengers on the same flight. “The police are abusing their powers! They are arresting me without any reason!” She wanted to use the public opinion to save herself. However, the passengers weren't bothered about her except for a few who looked her way. No one came up or recorded what was happening with their phones. “It’s no use doing that, Queenie. Everything is staged. These passengers are all actors. They boarded the plane with you to trick you into thinking that you’re flying abroad.” Serenity's words clear up Queenie’s doubts. “Actors?!” Queenie was stunned. “Yeah. The trial was also an act. Your trial is in a month. So, you’re still a suspect.” Queenie couldn’t comprehend what was happening for a moment. ‘Everything was an act? My probation was a lie? I still have to wait for another month for my real trial?!’ She realized that she wouldn’t be sentenced to probation in her real trial
“That’s true, but how can we check out the hospitals one by one? There are so many of them,” Clara said anxiously. She was surprised to hear that Summer was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Was she mentally ill now?“We’ll check Summer’s hometown and some of the neighboring cities first. It will be easy as long as we have her name and picture and she doesn’t hide her identity. We will only go back to Queenie if we can't get anything,” Serenity said. “Thank you, Serenity,” Clara said gratefully.If it wasn’t for Serenity’s plan, she would end up letting Queenie off the hook and escape abroad with the money, not getting any information about Summer's whereabouts.Judging from the fact that Queenie had sent her a fake location, Queenie had no intention of telling her where Summer was. “You should only thank me when we find out where Summer is.” Serenity sent Clara back to her apartment. When Wilson saw them, he couldn't help but ask, “Did Queenie tell you anything about Su
She was extremely worried about Summer’s current condition. Her mind was still foggy even after the shower. Clara stepped out of the bathroom to see Wilson waiting for her outside. “You’re done?” “Yeah.” “I’ve prepared a glass of warm milk for you in the living room. You’ll sleep better after drinking it.” Wilson led her to the couch in the living room before handing her a glass of warm milk.Clara spaced out as she looked at the glass of milk. Back then, Summer would secretly get milk for Clara during her pregnancy in prison. “You need nutrition as you’re pregnant now. I can’t do anything much for you, but I still have ways to get milk for you.” Tears rolled down Clara’s cheeks when she thought of Summer’s kindness. She wiped away the tears, but they were rolling down non-stop. “I’m sorry. I don’t feel like drinking the milk.” Clara choked. Wilson felt a little heartbroken and jealous when he saw Clara crying non-stop. Was he jealous because she wasn’t cryi
