Leave The Prison
Charles' POV:
I was in the meeting room, attending a conference, when my phone vibrated all of a sudden.
After taking a look at it, I suspended the meeting and walked out to answer the phone.
"What’s the matter?"
Janet immediately replied in an anxious voice, "Ever since Scarlett went to the prison to see Nate, something seems to be bothering her. She didn't even go to work today, and she has been in bed all day long. I wanted to ask the doctor to come see her, but she forbade me from calling him."
Upon hearing that, my heart sank. "Take good care of her. If she's facing any discomfort, call the doctor at once. I'll be home soon."
Janet gave me an affirmative response at once.
After hanging up, I ordered my trusted subordinate to preside over the meeting while I took Richard to the prison with me.
I was furious when I saw the surveillance video of Scarlett and Nate's meeting.
"I want to see Nate immediately."
Hearing my order, Richard nodded and walked out of the room.
He returned soon after. Nate stood behind him, accompanied by the prison guard.
His expression changed drastically the moment he saw me. He staggered and was about to fall on the ground.
"Mr. Moore, Nate has not been in a stable mental state lately. If you want to talk to him, then you will have to do it in the reception room where there are thick glass windows for protection," the prison guard reminded kindly.
"No, thanks. I will talk to him right here. You can go now." I motioned for him to leave the room. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before he walked out, closing the door behind him.
"Charles." Leaning against the wall, Charles looked at me in fear. "What are you doing here? I have been sentenced!"
"If you can recognize me, then there is nothing wrong with your head. Whatever you said to Scarlett, is it true or not?" My expression was as cold as ice.
Nate was stunned. "What do you mean? She left after our very brief conversation!"
I leaned against the sofa and called out, "Richard." Richard walked to him and kicked him, slamming him against the wall.
Nate collapsed to the floor with a loud scream, and just when he was about to get up, Richard stepped on him.
"I... I really don't know what you mean!" Nate exclaimed, crying out in agonizing pain.
I looked down in deep thought. Nate had seemed to be a little crazy in the video, so I wondered if he indeed had a mental problem and lost his memory when he was not himself.
However, his actions had hurt Scarlett in the end. Thinking of how shocked and helpless she had looked in the surveillance video, I immediately regretted letting her see Nate on her own.
