Chapter 2 All These Were Instructed by Mr. Shawn
A trace of surprise flashed across Bentley’s eyes. Was she still struggling to maintain her dignity under such a circumstance?
That made sense. After all, she was Caroline Jameson. This woman had always been arrogant and unruly and this aspect of her wouldn’t change a bit even when she was rejected by him.
Bentley abruptly reached out and pinched her delicate chin.
“Ouch! It hurts!” His hand which was clasping her chin was like a pair of iron pincers. He had exerted great force as if he was trying to crush her chin. Caroline had tears in her eyes because of the pain.
However, he didn’t pity her at all. Instead, he pinched her chin with greater force and said, “Who would have expected that behind such a beautiful face is a vicious mind?”
Caroline bit her bottom lip and said, “I didn’t kill Winnie, really!” Her face looked pale because of the pain. She continued, “You can’t send me to jail. You don’t have any evidence.”
"Yes, I can." Bentley sneered and said word by word, “So, Ms. Caroline Jameson, I wish you enjoy your prison life from today on.” Bentley let go of her chin, turned around, and waved his hand. He left very freely.
He was revenging on her. Caroline’s face looked ghastly pale and she couldn’t utter any word.
Women’s prison was not as peaceful as it appeared to be. Caroline was dragged out of the bed in her sleep on her first night in prison.
"What do you want to do?" Caroline vigilantly looked at the hostile prisoners surrounding her and said, “Don’t mess around, or I’ll call the guards.”
The prisoners around her weren’t frightened by her words, instead, they looked at each other and burst into laughter. The leader pointed at Caroline’s face and said, “Pardon? Call the guards? Hahaha, come on, did I mishear you? Are you going to call the guards?” At that instant, she abruptly swept a fierce slap across Caroline’s cheek and said, “Just do it. Call the guards.”
Caroline stumbled because of the slap, and her ears were buzzing.
She put a hand on the wall to support herself and suddenly reached out when she barely maintained her balance, which shocked everyone present.
The next moment, there came a crisp sound.
With the slapping sound, the cell fell into silence. No one had expected that such a delicately pretty woman would have the guts to fight back.
The strong leader went crazy because of Caroline’s slap. With a pair of red eyes, she shouted, “Fuck! You bitch! Everyone, beat her! It doesn’t matter whether to beat her up or let her be disabled. Anyway, Mr. Shawn told us not to be gentle. Let’s ‘take good care of’ this bitch. Remember, keep her alive.”
Caroline was shocked. A sharp pain rose in her heart and spread to her limps. Mr. Shawn! Bentley! They were instructed by Bentley!
Caroline trembled all over. She felt as if her heart was frozen.
No wonder such a big noise in the cell didn’t attract any prison guards. No wonder the mighty and strapping women around her were so fearless.
Caroline looked up at these women. She stood up, ran toward the door, clutched the iron window bars of the cell door, and cried out for help, “Help! Please help! They’re beating me! Someone, please help!” She knew that no guard would come, but she could only cry out for help even if this effort would go in vain.
She was betting that Bentley didn’t ask these women prisoners to “take good care of her”. Even though this assumption was nearly impossible, she still had an illusion that Bentley wouldn’t be so cruel to her and had shown some mercy to her.
“Ouch!” Someone suddenly pulled down a lock of her hair. Caroline stumbled due to the pull and fell to the ground. She had never been so embarrassed!
The next second, she was pulled up by her hair. They punched and kicked her. Caroline moaned painfully on the ground, “Hmm…”
Bentley didn’t show any mercy to her.
