Annabeth Cates’ cousin began tearing up. “Anyway, I’m sorry…”
“Alright, let’s stop talking about these,” Bobby said.
“What are your thoughts on this now?” Annabeth looked at her cousin and asked.
Right then, Annabeth was still filled with rage. All she wanted was for the jerk to die…
Annabeth’s cousin immediately wiped her tears away. She then went down on her knees.
Annabeth panicked when she saw this.
She immediately bent over and tried to get her cousin to stand up.
However, her cousin refused to budge. “Annabeth, don’t pull me up. I have something to ask of you…”
Annabeth seemed frantic. “If there’s anything you want to tell me, just get up and say it. Don’t do this. I can’t accept this,” she said.
With that, Annabeth also kneeled in front of her cousin and held her hand tightly.
“Annabeth… I know the Batton family has all the power in the world. Can I ask you to find a way to keep that man in prison forever?
“As long as he’s out there, our family will never have a day of peace…
“You know I’ve always wanted to get a divorce, but I don’t dare to do it. I’m afraid that jerk would threaten our family,” Annabeth’s cousin said.
With that, she looked at the rest of the Batton family. “Can you please help me? I’m begging you. I’ve collected a lot of evidence of his acts of domestic violence. If you genuinely help me, I’m sure he’ll never be able to get out of prison…
“As long as this person stays in prison, my family and I will be able to lead stable lives after the divorce…
“This jerk’s family has a lot of connections… I couldn’t do anything to him in the past, but you guys are with Annabeth now. Your connections are much more powerful than that jerk’s family…
“That’s why I’m begging you… Please…” Annabeth’s cousin started kowtowing to Annabeth and the Batton family after she finished speaking.
