Chapter 98 Relatives
Her life seemed to return to normal again.
After work, Marissa shoved all those checks to Caroline.
"Marissa, thank you." Caroline did not refuse. She wanted to hide the money. When Bentley was tired of this game, she would leave here with the money and never come back.
Caroline walked out of Marissa's office and carefully pressed the bag of checks and cash into her handbag.
Caroline whispered, “This is the key to our dream of Gartane Lake. Give me some time, Delores. I will try my best to carry out my promise.”
She thought of Delores's ashes were still stored in the funeral home. “Delores, wait for me! I will take you to Gartane Lake to see the clear blue sky and clouds there!”
Unusually today, Caroline took a taxi after work.
Downstairs in the dormitory, Caroline got out of the taxi, carefully holding her bag in her arms.
After paying off the taxi fare, she walked upstairs without stopping.
The corridor was quiet. She had been used to the quiet corridor when she came home every night.
While walking, she took out the key. She looked up and saw the two people in front of her door with the dim light shining on them. Jameson was so shocked that she dropped her key to the ground.
Looking at the two people in front of the door, she felt as if time froze.
She opened her mouth, trying to address them, but finally bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Mr. and Mrs. Jameson."
They were her parents. But she could no longer call them.
She hung her head and didn't want them to see how embarrassed she was!
She tried to be calm, but her choked voice betrayed her emotions.
Mrs. Jameson looked at her with red eyes. "Callie, are you alright?" Mrs. Jameson was very beautiful. Though she was not young anymore, she still seemed elegant and gentle.
Caroline's eyes went wet.
The corridor was very quiet, and Caroline did not answer Mrs. Jameson's question.
She hung her head as low as possible, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Raymond pulled a long face, fixing his fierce eyes on his daughter. For fear of waking up the neighbors, he didn’t walk over to slap her. In his mind, Caroline was a big disgrace to him.
He thought, “Now she realizes she has humiliated us, hanging her head deeply.”
"Mrs. Jameson," Caroline tried to calm down and her eyes moistened. She did not expect to see her parents again after she was released from prison under such circumstances. "I'm fine," she replied.
"Callie, open the door first. Your dad and I have something to say to you," Mrs. Jameson said.
