As soon as Linda got back to her room, she shed all pretense. How could Selena even leave the police station? This is ridiculous! Pierre couldn’t have possibly been powerful enough to secure her release from the police force in Yucaria, say less of getting an acquittal! Linda was clenching her fists. Selena can’t live! Her being alive is a threat to my current position! She must die! No, this can’t go on. I need to come up with a solution.
At the same time, the Oberlins also caught wind of Selena’s acquittal and subsequent release. Bradley had been pacing up and down in his room in a frenzy as soon as he heard the news. When Jane heard the noise he was making, she hurried downstairs. “Daddy, what’s wrong?”
“Selena got acquitted and released!”
“What? That’s impossible!” Jane couldn’t believe her ears. How could Pierre and Selena pull off such a feat?
The Oberlins themselves might have been able to pull something like that off, but both Pierre and Selena were not locals, so the law enforcers in Yucaria couldn’t possibly have given them any leeway.
“Jane, your plan failed miserably!”
“Daddy, didn’t you tell me back then it was brilliant?” Jane was feeling wronged.
“It’s all your fault!” Bradley yelled at her. “Great! Now my scrolls are lost forever!” He was sitting on the sofa with his head under his hands while stomping his feet. My scrolls! I don’t think I will be getting them back anymore!
