Nothing was wrong with Ben’s being shocked.
After all, Braylee looked so scary.
Sitting in the detention room, Braylee could naturally hear the conversation between Ben and Jared. Looking at Ben's terrified eyes, Braylee was almost dead inside.
Braylee hadn't washed her face or removed her makeup for a few days. What was worse, she couldn't sleep well, so she knew she looked ugly now.
But Braylee didn’t expect herself to be ugly enough to shock Ben.
Braylee was always proud of her appearance. She was quite confident that she often depended on it to attract men.
Thus, Braylee couldn’t accept the fact that she looked ugly now, especially in front of Jared, a perfect man.
The more Braylee thought about it, the more unacceptable it became. Braylee wanted to cover her face so that no one could see it.
Nonetheless, her hands were tightly bound to the chair, so she couldn't move at all. She could only lower her head to avoid their eyes. "Don't look at me!"
Her voice was frantic while her body was shaking. Braylee looked like a madwoman.
Jared frowned, his eyes full of disgust.
Ben pointed at Braylee. "Mr. Farrell, does she go crazy?"
Jared said coldly, "As a cunning and malicious woman, she can’t go crazy."
Words failed Ben. He scratched his head. "That's true."
The police officer who was guarding the door opened the door and walked in. He knocked on the glass with a police baton, and warned in a stern tone, "What are you doing? How dare you! Be quiet!"
Seeing the police officer's cold face, Braylee flinched in fear and stopped screaming.
Braylee kept being tortured by the police officers these days, so she was afraid of them from the bottom of her heart.
These police officers had many underhand ways to punish prisoners, so Braylee didn’t dare to annoy them.
After Braylee got silent, the police officer put down the baton and turned to Jared with a polite smile. "Mr. Farrell, please go on."
"Okay," Jared nodded and said.
The police officer adjusted the brim of his cap and walked out.
Only Jared, Ben, and Braylee were left in the detention room.
Jared took a step forward to the glass, staring at Braylee with cold eyes. "Why do you want to see me?"
Braylee raised her head tremblingly when she heard his question.
But the next second, as if frightened, she lowered her head again.
Ben couldn't stand it any longer. He frowned in annoyance. "Why are you so afraid? You look as if Mr. Farrell will kill you."
Ben thought, "Mr. Farrell cares nobody but Miss Reed.
As usual, he wouldn’t pay attention to any other woman."
"Well, let’s go. I don't want to see her either," Jared pursed his thin lips and said in a cold and indifferent voice.
Braylee's pupils shrank, and then she felt very humiliated.
She knew that Jared didn't want to see her, but she didn’t expect him to be so mean to a woman.
Jared must know Braylee’s love for him and that she lowered her head because she didn’t want him to see her face.
He absolutely knew it.
