Amanda was puzzled by the sudden turn of events.
She did not know that Val will go to the extent of even hurting herself physically in order to just frame her.
"Amanda, are you a rogue? I did not say anything regarding the necklace because I knew that it might be a misunderstanding, and now this! What did Val do to you to deserve such treatment. This is all my fault, if you want to channel your hatred towards someone, then that should be me." Jason roared as he held Val tightly into his arms.
Val was pleased as punch when she heard Jason speaking up for her. She looked at Amanda and smiled victoriously.
"I thought that you were always gentle and considerate, I did not know that you could be a thief, and even be this violent when your sister only meant to find justice for you. Is this how you treat your family. It's like I have never known you all these years." Jason said in a disappointed tone.
Amanda clapped her hands after Jason finished his speech.
"So touching. I feel like I have actually let you down. How did I not know about all these. Of how you thought about me.
I say, the oscar people should expand their network to find more talents. You guys deserve one." After Amanda finished speaking, she raised her head proudly and prepared herself to walk outside.
Juliana immediately sneered when she saw that Amanda was trying to leave.
"Where do you think you are going? You have to pay for what you did so I called the police."
"You did what?" Everyone including Jason was shocked.
"I called the police, I think we both saw what happened just now, even if this slu*t did not steal the necklace, but she resorted to violence and pushed my daughter, we have to go to the hospital to check her injuries, I don't think if this engagement will go on as planned." Juliana said in a righteous tone as if everything was the truth.
She did not mind disguising her hatred towards Amanda because she had long been fed up with her.
Amanda's mom was shocked and turned to look at her ex-husband.
He was after all Amanda's father and wanted to know if he too had the heart to send her daughter to prison over such baseless accusations.
When their eyes met, Peter averted his gaze to hide the guilt in his eyes. He once doted and loved this daughter of his until Val and Juliana came into their lives.
He had to admit that he did not feel comfortable seeing her daughter end up in prison but what else could he do. They had already agreed on it with his other family.
"Who is Amanda Jackson?"
Juliana pointed at Amanda without showing any mercy.
"You are suspected of theft and using violence to hurt other people. You have the right to remain silent because whatever you say might be used against you in the court of law."
Soon Amanda was handcuffed and taken away by the police. She tried to give her father a look, hoping that he will stand up for her but it was all in vain.
They did not have the funds to higher a lawyer so Amanda was sentenced to five years in prison with one year of community service.
***
Amanda sat in her cell looking dazed. She could not believe that she ended up in prison for the crimes she did not commit. She vowed to herself that once she got out of here, those people will pay a very heavy price for what they did to her.
