Chapter 84 Perhaps Jessica Was Still Alive
Colleen raised her head suddenly the minute she heard Florence's voice.
There was deep fear hidden in her eyes when she saw Florence.
"Sis, I was wrong. I know I have done something wrong, please let me go. I dare not to do that again." On her knees, Colleen crawled to Florence. With her hands tightly clenching the railing, she knelt on the ground and raised her head to plead, "It's so cold here, there are mice and snakes around. I feel scared, I don’t want to be locked in this place. Please, sis, let me go"
Colleen knew that she could count on neither the Hudson family nor Camden. If she wanted to get out of there, she could do nothing but beg Florence.
She had been bullying Florence for more than ten years and had never expected that one day, she would have to kneel in front of Florence and beg her.
Florence looked at her condescendingly. Colleen's body was soaked wet. The messy hair, the fear in her tone, and the dread in her eyes... Florence had seen them all clearly.
Florence was a little puzzled. How could Coleen be in such a mental state after being locked here only for one night?
She suddenly remembered Alexander's words. He must have sent a message here and had someone “taken care of” Colleen especially.
Otherwise, how would there be mice and snakes in such a place?
Colleen looked frightened; she might get mental problems if she was locked here for a few more days.
However, why would she let her leave here?
"No, " Florence coldly refused, “Why should I do that? You did not let me go when you set me up. Even last night, you did not show any mercy to me. So, tell me, why should I let go of someone who tried to hurt me?"
"Sis, I lost my mind. I asked Davian to be there only because you said that you wanted to see him. I really did not know he would
do that." Colleen was still quibbling at this moment.
"Is this your attitude of admitting mistakes?" Florence asked blankly, "Then you should continue to stay here."
With her words, Florence turned around and walked out.
"Florence!" Colleen went mad. She grabbed the iron door and stood up, shouting at Florence through gritted teeth, “I admit it! It was me who bribed Davian to rape you, the things that happened five years ago and last night were all planned by me. As for the other things I did to you over the years, I admit they were all my faults. I knew I was wrong. I apologize to you now; will you forgive me?"
Florence stopped; she was a little surprised to hear that Colleen admitted them all.
A joy showed on Colleen's face when she saw Florence stop walking, she asked with hope, “Sis, you will forgive me, right? You will withdraw the lawsuit, right?"
Florence looked at Colleen coldly, “It has been more than ten years since the day you moved into the Scotts’ mansion when you were eight years old. There are tremendous contradictions and resentments between us, and they cannot be solved clearly. Colleen, I know you too well, even if you kowtow now and admit your mistakes, your hatred for me will only increase more. Once you get released, you will take any chance to retaliate."
Colleen was stunned. She really hated Florence, she even wanted to drink her blood and gnaw her bones. Last night's fright and embarrassment were all brought by Florence. She would definitely let Florence pay the price the moment she left the prison.
Unexpectedly, Florence had seen her through.
Florence said lightly, “So, just stay here. I am not that kind to let someone who hurt me before get out and continue to hurt me again."
"Florence! What else do you want?" Colleen shouted hysterically, “You vicious woman! I beg you like this; do you really want me to die here? You bitch, once I get out, I will never let you go!"
Florence snorted, “Then wait for the day you can come out. I will wait for you."
Abandoning these words, Florence left directly, leaving Colleen's roaring curses gradually fade away.
Walking out of the police station, before Florence could get in the car and leave, she saw Allison, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face. She rushed toward Florence with a lot of curses.
"Florence! You vicious woman! You'd better let my daughter leave this place ASAP and withdraw the lawsuit, otherwise, I will never finish with you."
Allison pulled Florence, like a shrew, and raised her hand to hit Florence.
She could not count on Camden now, but she could not let Colleen go to jail either.
"Let go of me!" Florence pushed Allison away and said coldly, “If you want to end like your daughter and be put into jail, just fight."
