Elaine completely believed the story that the police officer had told her. What she was most worried about right now was that the police officer would continue detaining her in the detention center to prevent her from spreading any rumors or raising any false alarms. If that really happened, then she did not know when she would finally be able to regain her freedom.Elaine looked at the police officer with pleading eyes as she cried and said, “Officer, I really won’t say a word about this matter to anyone at all. Please let me go. If you continue to lock me up in the detention center, I will definitely die inside the cell…”The police officer shook his head cautiously before he said, “Elaine, I cannot believe you. After all, I have already seen plenty of people like you. On the surface, you will tell us that you will not tell anyone about this matter but as soon as we let you go, you will definitely tell people about this matter because of your big mouth.”After that, the police o
At this time, Elaine asked the police a tentative question in a low voice, “Well…officer…am I not even allowed to talk to my son-in-law about this matter in private at home?”The police officer who was playing the villain slammed his hands on the table angrily before he looked at the police officer who was playing the hero and said, “I have already told you that it is impossible to trust this stupid and foolish woman! You even wanted to release her from the detention center? Did you hear what she just said? She wants to confront Charlie about this matter! Wouldn’t she be simply ruining our case and putting her own life at risk then?”The expression on the police officer who was playing the hero’s face darkened immediately. He stared at Elaine before he replied coldly, “Elaine, you really disappoint me. I really thought that you would be able to keep this matter to yourself without saying a word about this at all. I really did not expect you to think of confronting your own son-in-law
When they saw the desperate look on Elaine’s face, the police officers quickly exchanged glances with one another. After that, the police officer who was playing the hero asked, “Elaine, we can consider letting you go but there are some issues that we would have to discuss with you first. First of all, if we really do allow you to go home today, then what are you going to tell your family if they ask you about your whereabouts for the past two days?”Elaine hurriedly replied, “I…I will tell them…for the past two days…in these two days…”Elaine hesitated for a long time without saying anything at all. This was because she did not know what to say or how she should explain things to her husband and daughter when she got home.After all, she has already disappeared for two days and two nights for no reason at all. What was even more important was the fact that there was not a single spot on her body which has not been beaten up at all.Furthermore, Elaine also lost her two front teeth
Jacob cleaned himself up and he dressed up immediately. After that, he did not even want to have breakfast at home because he was simply too anxious to go out.When Claire saw him all dressed up again, she asked him immediately, “Dad, where are you going so early in the morning?”Jacob replied cheerfully, “I have already made an appointment to meet up with your Aunt Hall. Both of us are going to visit our alma mater together today since she has not been back in Aurous Hill for more than twenty years now!”When Claire heard this, she suddenly got angry and she blurted out, “Mom has already been missing for more than two days and two nights now and there is no news on her at all. How could you still go out to hang out with Aunt Hall at a time like this? Aren’t you going to go out to help us to look for Mom at all?”“Well…” Jacob chuckled slightly before he replied in a secretive tone, “Well, aren’t you and Charlie already looking for Mom? After all, both of you are still young and it
Jacob dressed up as though he was someone who had just returned from abroad, looking very handsome and stylish today.This time, Jacob and Matilda had a tacit understanding with one another. Jacob did not bring Charlie along with him and Matilda did not bring her son, Paul with her.Jacob personally drove his BMW 5 Series all the way to Shangri-La to pick Matilda up so that they could go and visit their alma mater together.Matilda wore a long gray woolen coat and she looked very classy and elegant today. Jacob was overwhelmed and extremely fascinated when he saw Matilda standing at the entrance of Shangri-La.He hurriedly got out of his car to open the car door for Matilda. At this time, he could not help but exclaim, “Matilda, you’re dressed so beautifully today!”Matilda smiled slightly before she said, “I’m already an old person now so how can I possibly be that beautiful anyway? I decided to tidy myself up and dress up a little nicer today because we’re going back to visit ou
Jacob nodded slightly as he thought about their previous class reunion. During that gathering, many of their old classmates had teased Jacob about his previous love triangle with Matilda and Elaine.At this time, Jacob told Matilda seriously, “Matilda, some of our old classmates will definitely tease us about the incident that happened back then during our class reunion today. I hope that you won’t take it too seriously and you shouldn’t take what they say to heart. They are just a bunch of rude and old people!”Matilda smiled slightly before she said, “I don’t mind if they joke around, as long as they aren’t distorting the facts. If I was really afraid that they would ridicule me, then I wouldn’t have arranged for this class reunion today! All of our old classmates have not seen me for more than twenty years now! What is the point of teasing me now?”***When they arrived at the National Bell Height University, Jacob parked his car at the parking lot near the entrance of the schoo
Jacob had deliberately mentioned the forest because he wanted to see Matilda’s blushing face.Even if she was a very calm and composed person, she would still be embarrassed when she recalled their presumptuous youth and the sweet and ambiguous past that the both of them shared.Jacob felt that he would have to make Matilda think more about the past. If he constantly reminded her of the past that made her heart feel a little turbulent, then he would definitely be able to evoke the fire in her heart that has already been waiting for more than twenty years for him.Matilda naturally understood Jacob’s intention. Therefore, she quickly changed the topic out of embarrassment. At this time, she blurted out, “By the way, how is our former head teacher doing?”Jacob replied, “He is doing pretty well but it isn’t convenient for him to move around on his legs now. During our last class reunion, we had specially invited him back to our alma mater just so that he could give us a lecture in th
Jacob had already had a conditioned reflex to grab red envelopes. Therefore, he subconsciously clicked on the red envelope and he was surprised to discover that he had actually received two hundred dollars from the red envelope!At this time, Jacob also found out that his other classmates had also received two hundred dollars each.It seemed as though this person was giving everyone two hundred dollars each!Jacob was initially when he realized that he suddenly had an extra two hundred dollars! However when he saw that the other party’s nickname was ‘I miss the beautiful Matilda’, the expression on Jacob’s face darkened immediately!At this time, all of the classmates in the group were already exploding in excitement.“Oh my. Thank you, boss!”“Yes! Thank you so much, Mr. Pearson! You’re really very generous to give everyone a two-hundred-dollar red envelope just like that! You’re really one of a kind.”“I’ve already heard that Mr. Pearson has been making a lot of money over the
