Chapter 68
It was Samantha.
Before this, Lionel had come to ask Irene so that she could speak with Isaac, and to persuade him to be lenient on Ricky.
Irene, however, refused to help-which meant Samantha’s son was going to prison.
Even if he would not be serving a long sentence, he would have a criminal record, and his career options would be limited even if he completed his studies.
Naturally, she was at once annoyed and furious, and hated Irene for not helping, believing her to be callous.
That was why Samantha showed up at the hospital-she would make a scene and humiliate Irene!
Having gathered journalists at the scene, she dropped to her knees in her campaign to get Irene flamed-so that everyone would think of Irene as an ingrate who refused to help her brother. As she cried, she complained, “Ricky is your brother! Why do you refuse to help him?! Do you have a conscience?! He’s your only brother…”
She bawled so loudly that those who did not know would think that she suffered a great injustice.
Moreover, since there were a lot of people near the hospital entrance, a crowd soon gathered to enjoy the drama.
Without knowing the full picture, the sight of an older woman kneeling in front of a younger woman was enough to win everyone’s sympathy. Moreover, Samantha was good enough an actress to swiftly direct all hostility toward Irene.
As everyone began to whisper and criticize, some of the gullible heroes of justice began to scold Irene. “How could you be so unreasonable? Letting your mother kneel and beg? How could you be so young but so heartless?” Samantha promptly joined in, “Someone is bullying her brother, and she could have helped! But she refused! And she still calls herself a sister!”
