Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Leia was not someone to be trifled with. She turned her hand and slapped the tough woman.
“Motherf*cker! You’re courting death!”
Blinded by fury, the valiant woman summoned the rest of the female criminals. “Give that insufferable b*tch a proper lesson!”
They rushed to Leia and hit her. Leia, unable to resist them alone, got her eyes and lips smashed in.
“What are you doing? Behave yourself!”
When the prison guard heard the commotion, he quickly rebuked them, and the group dispersed.
“Twenty-nine, are you okay?”
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 ready. 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.
“Flossie, you’re back?”
She saw Flossie at a glance, so she ran to the iron door agitatedly.
“Lei, I came back too late. You’ve suffered a lot.”
Flossie 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?”
Flossie 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, Flossie. Don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s normal to get bashed up in here. We finally meet. Let’s chat a bit.”
Leia’s hands were handcuffed. She spoke with a tone of urgency as she held the iron railing with her slender fingers.
She knew that the visiting hours were merely thirty minutes. If the doctor came to inspect her, she would not have much time to talk to Flossie.
“Lei, tell me. What happened? Why did it turn out this way?”
Flossie raced against time and questioned Leia.
She had to learn what had happened before she could find the breakthrough point and help release Lei.
“I can’t blame anyone in this. I was too impatient. When they threatened me, I reacted with agitation. Besides, that place is a construction zone, so his head was impaled by nails…”
Leia wiped away her tears and said with despair, “I think he won’t be able to live since the back of his head has been nailed and I’ve become a murderer.”
“Don’t worry. You didn’t do it on purpose. It won’t be that serious. I have the best lawyers. They have ways to save you. They can do it.”
Although this would make Flossie seem unprofessional in the legal industry, she knew that she had to save Lei, no matter how high of a cost it might incur.
This was simply too harsh a place to stay.
“Flossie, don’t blame yourself. You saved me and my brother. So, I don’t regret what I did. Even if I traveled back in time, I would do the same thing.”
“Lei, stop. Regardless, I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll save you even if I have to blow this prison up…”
The women cried profusely from both sides of the iron door. They were overwhelmed with their deep grief. The anguish and pain in their voice would immediately be felt by whoever heard them.
“Ahem, twenty-nine, get ready. You’re freed of all charges and are free to go.”
Suddenly, the prison guard knocked on the iron door and said to Leia expressionlessly.
“What? Did I hear it right? I can go now?”
Leia’s eyes were still full of tears. She could not believe what she had just heard.
It was because she had just learned the news that the person she accidentally pushed over died this morning after they failed to save him. Logically speaking… she would be imprisoned for three to five years. Why was she freed of all charges of the blue?
Flossie 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.
“Flossie, 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 Flossie tightly.
“It’s fine. You’re okay now. You didn’t do it on purpose, and you’re a victim too. Of course, you should be released.”
“Hmm, Flossie, that place is more horrible than hell. That’s no place for a human being to stay in. We must abide by the law and never get involved in such a place…”
“Erm… Sure.”
Flossie’s heart inevitably skipped a beat as a chill was sent down her spine.
She knew that she had murdered someone too. It was even more wicked than Leia’s case. In addition, she could be sued as a murderer, and she would not only be sentenced to three or five years of prison. She might even be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty.
“But who helped me if it wasn’t you?”
Leia wiped away her tears in great confusion. “I’m not popular. I don’t know who else is so capable to get me out of prison except you. Could it have been my daddy or brother?”
But this incident was kept a secret. Her brother was having an adventure in Antia, and logically speaking, he shouldn’t have received the news so fast.
Her father was still angry. After falling out with him the other day, he claimed he hadn’t meddled in her business. Hence, he would not have acted so fast, either.
