Chapter 1299 Imprisoned For Nothing
Alice got nothing in return. She took the rap but didn’t receive the money that was meant to pay off her family’s debt.
The culprit didn’t honor their deal and her heartbroken mother had to seek help everywhere in a wheelchair.
Even her younger brother was bullied by other kids in school because of what happened.
She finally understood that she had been wrong in every possible way.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I’m so sorry.” Alice rested her head on her mother’s lap and wept due to sadness and guilt.
Although Lucinda was upset, she understood Alice did it to pay off the family’s debt.
Therefore, she wouldn’t give up on her daughter, no matter how pissed off she was.
Otherwise, Lucinda didn’t have to look for ways to bring her out of prison.
Natalie continued to lean against the car and watched them hugging. She didn’t go up to disturb them, for she knew that they missed one another after half a year.
After a long time, Lucinda thought of Natalie. She patted Alice’s shoulder, gesturing for her to stop crying and stand up.
Alice sniffed, wiped away her tears, and stood up.
Then Lucinda grabbed her hand and said, “Alice, come with me to meet Mrs. Thompson.”
Alice murmured a response.
After coming up to Natalie, Lucinda gently pushed Alice to the front and said, “Alice, you must thank Mrs. Thompson.”
Gazing at Natalie, Alice earnestly bowed and said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Thompson. I shouldn’t have taken responsibility for someone’s crime. I’m so sorry for my mistake. Also, thank you for not giving up on me and rescuing me by arresting Jacqueline. I owe you my sincere gratitude!”
Before leaving prison, Alice heard from the prison guards that Jacqueline was arrested and had come clean with everything.
Otherwise, Alice probably had to stay in prison for a longer time.
“You’re right.”
Soon, they arrived at Alice’s house.
Natalie politely refused their invitation to have some tea and continued driving to the Graham residence.
At that time, Shane was already at the Graham residence.
Now that Alice had been released, the time was up for Jacqueline to pay her price.
Hence, Natalie wished to know Shane’s arrangement.
Upon arriving at the Graham residence, Shane asked the guards to open the door and went in with Silas.
When they arrived at the room, Jacqueline, surprisingly, didn’t lie on the bed but merely sat on it.
