Chapter 1142 That Place Is Hell
Christoper and Carolyn walked up and down in front of the entrance.
Christopher rubbed his hands and anxiously said, “It’s already been an hour. Why is she still inside?”
Then, Carolyn said to him scornfully, “How am I supposed to know? You’re really good for nothing! I’m glad that Mr. Tanner stepped in to help us this time. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what kind of things Sharon has to go through in there.”
Christopher arched his brows. “Mrs. Kooper Sr. was the one who dropped the charges. What does Adrien Tanner have to do with this? It’s not right for you to give him all the credit. You wouldn’t know if Mrs. Kooper Sr. only dropped the charges because I went to beg her last night.”
“Hmph. Stop flattering yourself. Sharon would’ve been released if you’re ever capable of doing anything. Why else would we be here waiting?”
“What…”
The gate of the detention center was finally opened while they were still arguing.
“Mom!”
They heard somebody crying aggrievedly, and Sharon ran toward them with bruises all over her face. “Mom, boo-hoo…”
Sharon was beaten up, and her face was swollen. She looked like a mess.
Carolyn held her in her arms and angrily said, “This is outrageous! Who did this to you? Is there nobody to keep you safe in there?”
“That old woman of the Kooper family told somebody in there to beat me up. Boo-hoo. I don’t ever want to go in there again. That place is hell.”
“Okay, okay. Sharon, everything’s fine now. I’m never going to let this happen again. You’re lucky that Uncle Adrien helped you this time.”
Sharon was shocked. Then, she looked at Christopher.
“Didn’t daddy get me out? He said that he figured something out to help me when we last met.”
“Your father?!”
