Four years later,
Alvera stood at the gates of the North Calgary Prison
and watched the heavy iron door shut.
She was free.
She opened her tightly clenched fist to reveal a pendant in her hand,
then she hung it around her neck.
In the distance, a black Audi honked a few times.
Alvera ignored the car and walked towards the nearest bus station, which was not far off.
Just then, the door of the Audi opened, and a young man got out from the driver's seat.
He looked at Alvera and shouted, "Dude!"
Alvera stopped in her tracks and looked back.
The sun shone brightly over her as she smiled at the driver.
The man got back in the car and drove closer. He rolled down the window and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Get into the car."
Alvera got into the passenger side, her expression quiet and calm.
"Is there any place you want to go in particular?"
"I want to visit my mother."
Samuel Lambert paused for a moment. "I'll drive you there."
"Your father... I don't think he will approve of your friendship with me. You're the young master of the Lambert Group, and I've been to prison."
"Can you stop? I don't care that you've been to prison. It wasn't even your fault, to begin with. You wouldn't have ended up in prison if it weren't for the Francois family."
Alvera clenched her fists tightly when he mentioned the Francois Family.
"What kind of relationship did Roland Francois and Andrina Earhart have back then?"
"They should have been together for some time already, seeing how Roland Francois was so dead set on putting you in prison."
Alvera shook her head. "No, the day before my mother and I were thrown out, Thomas Earhart was looking to set her up with a suitable man. If Roland and Andrina were together at the time, they wouldn't do that."
"Yeah, you're right, Roland was the most popular bachelor in the high society of Calgary. All this talk about the Francois family reminds me of that scum, Antoine Francois. He didn't even say anything when his brother was framing you. He even promised me he would protect you forever when you guys first got together. Bah, so much for his promises!"
"Don't mention him."
