Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2889

"It's only fair for a daughter to repay her father’s debt." Big Sis clenched her fist and aimed at Leia's abdomen.

"Ugh." Leia let out a muffled groan as the blow struck her in the stomach. It was so powerful that she immediately curled up on the ground, clutching her stomach.

A few of them were puzzled when they saw Leia’s pale face.

Was it not just a punch? Even though Big Sis was strong, it should not have been this severe.

"Get up," commanded Big Sis as she gripped Leia's clothes.

Leia remained seated on the ground. Her face twisted in pain.

"Big Sis..." A faint voice came from behind the group.

Big Sis turned to look at the woman behind her. "Are you trying to be the peacemaker? Wanna have a taste of my fists?"

Mandy shivered for a moment and immediately shook her head. "Big Sis, I just wanted to say that Leia just had liver transplant surgery. Her body is weak. Her liver’s condition hasn't improved either. Others might be able to take your punches, but she might not..."

What she meant was, if Leia took a beating like that, she might not even have half her life left after just a couple of punches.

If that were to happen, Big Sis could get into major trouble.

However, Mandy knew that the woman in front of her might end up facing a life sentence, and she was the type who was not afraid of getting into trouble.

If Mandy brought up Leia's identity or legal matters, Big Sis might not be satisfied. She could get even become aggressive.

The best Mandy could do was remind Big Sis that Leia was very weak at the moment and might not survive a second blow, which might make her reconsider it.

"So, she's got liver disease. No wonder she looks half-dead,” commented another woman. She then spat out, a glob of her spit landing on Leia's hair.

Leia could not be bothered about the spit in her hair. She could only feel the intense pain in her abdomen.

She could not even spare a thought for Mandy, who was locked up with her.

If it were not for the doctor confirming that her surgical incision had healed, Leia would have suspected that that punch had reopened it.

"Hmph, I'll let you off today, Ms. Norman. Stay here. Consider yourself unlucky. You'd better handle the feud between me and your father well!" warned Big Sis before returning to her bed.

She was not concerned about Leia calling the police from the detention center. She did not leave any visible marks on her face, after all.

Physical examination? Leia was neither unconscious nor was she in a life-threatening condition now. The police would not make a mountain out of a molehill.

Mandy glanced at Big Sis and suggested, "Big Sis, should I help her up to sit by the bed? If the officers see that pitiful look on her when they come, we might be the ones in trouble."

"Hmph." Big Sis let out a cold snort without saying anything.

Mandy quickly approached Leia, helping her to sit by the bed at the far end.

"This is your bed now,” said Mandy. Knowing that Leia might not find it convenient, she willingly gave up her lower bunk.

The lower bunk was always better than the top. If it were not for it being closest to the toilet, Leia would not have gotten it.

Leia sat on the bed for a moment, taking a breath. Then, she gave Mandy an intense stare.

She knew it was Mandy who had betrayed her when they were giving the statement.

As Mandy met Leia's resentful gaze, she hesitated for a moment but eventually felt that she had not done anything wrong.

This focus led to even old cases being dug up and dealt with.

Jack found a major telecommunications fraud case among a pile of unsolved old cases.

After spending a day in this place, Mandy had already gathered almost all the information about the people here, including what Big Sis had done.

She was not just involved in telecommunications fraud. She was also involved in human trafficking. She sent people to the Golden Triangle for various illicit activities.

She was an extremely dangerous criminal.

She had even committed murder within the country but managed to escape being caught due to her cunning nature and the less advanced methods of criminal investigation at the time. The case could have been left unresolved, but Jack's decision to reopen it led to Big Sis’ exposure. Her power was stripped, resulting in her arrest.

However, the reason this woman harbored such hatred toward Jack was that her only child was hit by a stray bullet and killed during the arrest operation.

Jack was actively involved in the operation, making him the primary target of Big Sis’ vendetta.

Leia turned over. She would have slapped Mandy in the face if it were not for her weak body.

She did not have to be involved in this entire situation in the first place.

Even if Mandy got caught, she could have stayed out of trouble as long as she did not implicate her.

However, Mandy went ahead and ratted her out.

Mandy grew annoyed when Leia was not paying her any attention. She decided not to continue coddling. Instead, she said, "Leia, do you think you're still living in Norman Residence? Both of us are facing imprisonment now. I thought I'd speak up for you as an acquaintance today, but if you can't show some gratitude, don't blame me for disregarding our past camaraderie.

"Let me tell you, you'd better drop your heiress attitude here. Life in this place is going to be a hundred times harder than those few years you spent in New York. Be ready to suffer if you keep acting arrogant."
