After calming down, Mrs. Ritter immediately picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Don't kill him. Just torture him! Make sure he suffer!"
The person on the other end said something that made Mrs. Ritter explode in anger. "Do you not want your job anymore? Do you not want your daughter to go to film school?"
The sheriff could only nod and promise, "Okay, okay, Mrs. Ritter. Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
After hanging up the phone, the sheriff put on a gloomy face.
"Is this old hag crazy? The Bennett family is protecting Cody secretly. How dare I make a move?"
He sighed deeply and felt like he was in such a dilemma that he couldn't offend anyone on either side.
He was just a sheriff after all. He might as well treat Mrs. Ritter's words as if they were nothing. After all, compared with Mrs. Ritter, the old Mr. Bennett had more authority.
He weighed his options for a while before returning directly to his office.
Larro Detention Center.
Winter anxiously waited outside the visiting room and kept looking inside through the glass window until two minutes later when two prison guards brought Clark over.
Clark looked much haggard now with an aged face which carried both desolation and gloominess.
He sat down behind the glass window and picked up the microphone.
When Winter saw him, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken, but she restrained herself very well, because she had many things she wanted to say.
However, at that moment, she didn't know what exactly should be said.
"I'm in jail now. Have those people bothered you?"
Clark spoke first; his voice sounded hoarse as if he were someone who had been traveling long distances in desert sand dunes.
His eyes fixed tightly on Winter, carrying inexplicable greediness mixed with longing, as though she were his source of water or medicine, without which he could not survive or breathe properly.
Only seeing her made him feel alive again!
"Not yet. Are you okay?" replied Winter, struggling hard to open her mouth while trying hard not to cry, since Clark must have been having tough times inside there!
"Not bad. I lead a quite leisure life. Food and drinks are available. The meals are satisfying and I no longer have to worry about the office politics. Life is much easier than before," Clark said with a casual tone.
There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in his delicate and handsome face.
"Ugh-" Suddenly, Winter covered her mouth and turned away, dry heaving for a moment.
Clark looked at her in astonishment behind the glass, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Winter's face turned a little pale. "I haven't been feeling well in my stomach these past few days. It's nothing serious, so don't worry."
They rarely talked so calmly like this. He used to be too dominant and overbearing.
