Paul also approached Diana with a smile. "Did they treat you badly?"
"Not at all!" Diana replied cheerfully.
"I'm perfectly fine. They were quite stern at first and asked loads of questions. But maybe they figured things out later on. They stopped questioning me and actually treated me quite well."
"See? That's all thanks to Skylar's help!" Joe and the others gave Skylar grateful looks. They all assumed Diana's release was due to the Sheriden family's help.
"Diana, you got out so quickly because of Ms. Sheriden's help. Look at Eleanor; she's still locked up! This shows how serious the situation was. You shouldn't ever buy fake medicine again!"
"I know..." Diana wanted to defend herself but swallowed her words when she saw Joe's expression.
Eleanor had been the one who kept encouraging her by saying they would make a fortune this time. Diana knew Joe's company had some troubles recently and they needed to be careful with money. She had only agreed to work with Eleanor in hopes of earning some extra cash for the family.
This time, Eleanor had really gotten her into trouble.
"Thank you, Ms. Sheriden!" Diana sighed. She then turned to hold Skylar's hand and thanked her.
"Don't mention it, it's what I should do! Paul's business is my business..." Skylar was bewildered. Her parents had refused to help yesterday and said it was not their place to interfere. How did Diana get released overnight?
