"You... you even went to him?""Yeah, I sneaked out to Daddy's company to see him when Uncle was busy the other day, but he seemed to not know me."When Aiden reached the point, he appeared very composed.It was because the most difficult time was over. He was no longer sad but a little regretful now."Oh, my dear Adie. You've suffered so much!"Renee's eyes became scarlet before she pulled Aiden into her arms, sobbing. "It's my fault. I thought you and Abby were very strong and sensible, and I ignored your feelings. Let me say sorry to you. I promise that I'll never leave you guys again. Never!" When she thought of how Aiden went to Stefan pitifully, yet Stefan ignored him, a pang of grief grabbed her heart. Aiden would feel that he was abandoned by the whole world when his mother went missing, and his father ignored him."But what about Daddy's brother? Margaret told me that you need to take care of that person. So, you'll leave one day, won't you?" Holding Renee's hand,
Renee went to the prison where Leia was and went straight to the point in front of the person in charge. "I want to bail Leia out. How much is it? Just name the price." The person in charge was an old leader of nearly fifty years old. He had plenty of experience in handling cases, so he had had contact with all kinds of people. Of course, it was not the first time that he had met someone rich and imposing like Renee.He buried his head to handle the cases without even glancing at Renee. He said calmly, "This suspect's case is a bit special, so she doesn’t have the right to be bailed to wait for the trial. You may go back now." "Did she murder someone or set a place on fire? Why isn't she qualified for bail? If my information is right, she did it as a form of self-defense. She resisted the person who caused trouble. Of course, it should be considered proper self-defense. Why is it regarded as a criminal offense?" Agitated, Renee argued with the old leader."Self-defense?"Final
The prison guard asked Leia."I'm fine," Leia answered coldly as she wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with her sleeve."Get up. Someone's here to see you." Leia's numb gaze flickered slightly. Her eyes lit up a little but turned dull very quickly.She knew that she was entrapped now and no one could save her.Leia got ready before she went to the visiting room with the prison guard. "Ren, you're back?"She saw Renee at a glance, so she ran to the iron door agitatedly."Lei, I came back too late. You've suffered a lot."Renee also rushed to the iron door and looked at Leia, sobbing.They were only separated by an iron door. However, they could only see each other through the narrow window."What's the matter with your eyes? Why are your lips chafed?" Renee sensitively noticed that Leia's eyes and lips were injured. So, she became anxious and shouted, "Hey, my friend is hurt. Where is the doctor? Get the doctor to come see her!" "Shush, Ren. Don't worry. I'm f
Renee found it strange. She hadn't even gotten into action when the problem had already been resolved.An unrealistic feeling overwhelmed her, as if something had fallen onto her lap without her even trying. "Just leave. What's wrong? You're unwilling to go? Go back to that tiny corner of yours, then." The prison guard frowned and said in an extremely impatient manner.He was never nice to the rich young ladies who managed to escape the punishment of law because of their backers. "No, I'm willing. I... I'll go now." Leia was very excited, so she eagerly stated.Like a tornado, happiness immediately replaced her glum. She didn't even bother to ponder over it.After simply changing into her clothes on the day when she was caught, she walked out of the cell."Ren, I'm finally free!" When she walked out of the prison, she enjoyed the fresh air outside as she looked up at the bright moon. Inevitably, she cried vigorously. She hugged Renee tightly. "It's fine. You're okay now. Y
Xavier raised his brows slightly and answered calmly, "I didn't use any connection but spent a bit of money." "Well, this affair couldn't be resolved with money alone.""No, I just transferred 50 million to the bank account of the victim's family before I asked several men in black to meet them with fruits and knives. After that... they learned that it was their son who had made a scene and harmed himself instead. They then went to the police to settle the issue."Xavier sounded casual and composed. It seemed as simple as buying an ingredient, but that ingredient came at an eye-watering price.Renee patted his shoulders and could not help commenting on their deep relationship. "Well, you're pretty good. You spent 50 million just like that. If this isn't considered love..."Consequently, Leia blushed and tugged at Renee's clothes. "Ren, stop the nonsense."After that, she looked up and said to him stiffly, "Xavier, thank you. I'll try my best to return 50 million to you.""Just 5
"It's nothing!" Leia snapped, quickly turning away and hiding her face with her hair, reluctant to let others see her vulnerability. "Nothing? Your face is swollen!" Xavier exclaimed as he gently lifted her chin and brushed her hair off, studying her face with a pained look. Who could have imagined that in just a matter of days, the woman who strutted like she owned the place would end up looking so pitiful?"Who did this to you?" He demanded, his brow tightly furrowed as if his favorite toy was broken, and he looked bent on cutting the culprit into pieces."No one. I fell," Leia said, moving away from his touch and turning her back on him.She was just like Renee—she held herself with great pride and would act nonchalant even if she was bruised and battered.Xavier was not easily fooled, however, and took her hand as he growled. "We're going back.""Back? Back where?""The detention center.""No! It took me so much to get out—I'm not going back! That place is hell. It's not
"Isn't that No.29, that heiress?"The tough woman was immediately excited, smacking her thighs as she chuckled, "Welcome back. And here I heard someone bailed you out… My shoulder just happened to be feeling sore, so come here and give me a massage.""You're sore everywhere, everyday anyway. Here—let me give you some proper treatment," Leia retorted and slapped the tough woman across the face."H-How dare you hit me?!" The woman was left dumbstruck by the slap and stared at Leia in disbelief while clutching her swelling cheek."That's not all—I'll kick you like you kicked me! What are you going to do about it?" Leia snapped and kicked the woman squarely in the stomach. She stumbled but quickly snapped at the other intimates, "What are you spacing out for?! Get her!"However, the other women were all huddled together and shuddering in fear, staring at the burly man standing behind Leia.""Go on if you dare," Xavier said as he slowly lit himself a cigarette, illuminating his hand
Having vented all her grievances, Leia stopped assaulting the women and warned them even as they shook in their boots. "I will spare your lives today, but remember—bully another innocent, and you will suffer a worse fate!"They promptly kowtowed to Leia. "Thank you, thank you! We will always remember that!"Having endured such a terrible experience, they were made to understand that there was always a bigger fish and that they should never be so quick to bully.With that, Leia and Xavier left the detention center without leaving any evidence behind—as if they had never been there before."Hand," Xavier suddenly told her."Hand?"Leia had no idea what he intended, but she was in a good mood and generously held out her dainty hand.His large palm wrapped around hers right then, gently caressing it as he said seriously, "You must be tired. Let me give you a massage."Under the bright moonlight, the affection he had for her was so obvious in his flawless, handsome face.Leia space
