“Aunt Marie, I promise, no matter what it takes, I will get you out of here.”
Just then, a guard walked over.
“What's all the commotion? Visiting hours are over. Inmate, head back.”
Marie was led away, feeling like her life was over. A glimmer of hope for her release had appeared, only to be extinguished.
She refused to die in this godforsaken place. She absolutely refused.
Victoria left with Hanley, her mood just as sour.
She had thought they finally had leverage over Terence. She expected him to come to them to negotiate, making it easy to get Marie out.
She never imagined he could find another video, one that proved his innocence.
He even attached Hanley’s medical report, stating that Hanley wasn't injured. Wasn't that just a blatant accusation that Hanley was lying?
How could a grown man be so petty, stooping to argue with a child? Spreading malicious rumors about a little boy was utterly immoral. And what was Natalie thinking, letting that man speak ill of her own son? Useless!
“Grandma, what do we do now?”
“Whatever happens, we can’t just let this go! We have to find another way. We must get your aunt out.”
Victoria wasn't genuinely concerned for Marie. She simply understood that if Marie fell, she would be next.
【I can't believe Hanley lied again. That kid is terrifying.】
【The hospital records show no significant external injuries. But Hanley had his arms and legs wrapped up like a mummy that day. What was that about? Was it all an act? How can a kid that young frame someone like that?】
【Did you guys see in the video that the Lockwood family even had an airbag ready? Hanley clearly landed on it and wasn't hurt at all, yet he still framed Terence. He’s biting the hand that fed him. A real-life case of the farmer and the viper.】
【Thank god I never insulted Terence. Kids like Hanley are scary. They'll stop at nothing to get what they want.】
【And his goal was to save Marie. I heard she was arrested for trying to kill her own brother over the family inheritance. Didn't she get what she deserved? And he still tried to use such extreme measures to threaten Natalie to save her! What kind of kid does that? Siding with the other woman to bully his own mother. If he were my son, I'd wish I'd never had him!】
【Hanley is a real devil child. He lies without batting an eye. He doesn't even defend his own mom, choosing to help the mistress bully her instead. A kid like that is a lost cause.】

Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
