Chapter 140
Flora always seemed so mild–mannered, but when she dropped her facade, she turned out to be a force to be reckoned with People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, and Maddie was immediately silenced by fear.
Flora scoffed and strode out. That money alone would be enough to give Maddie a taste of her own medicine.
Outside, Flora could still hear Maddie’s enquished screams echoing from the shop, but she felt not an ounce of sympathy.
She remembered all too well how Maddie had treated her. She was merely giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Having Aaron sent to jail put Flora in an exceptionally good mood. She hailed a taxi and headed back home.
Stonnell Intemational.
Connor had just finished a meeting when he received a call from the person he had assigned to protect Flora.
After he leamed that Aaron had been taken to the police station, his expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated this outcome.
He closed the file slowly, his well–defined hands drumming on the desk, before he finally spoke, “Handle it well. Now that he’s in the jail, make sure he doesn’t come out.”
“Understood.”
When Flora returned home, Raul was sitting on the couch, reviewing some documents.
She leaned over and caught a glimpse of the words.
“Elite High School Share Transfer Agreement
“Dad, when did we start getting into the education sector?” Flora sat down beside Raul, curious.
Elite High School was a recently established private school that spared no expense, attracting many public school teachers to join.
“A friend of mine started the school and insisted on transferring some shares to me,” Raul said with a resigned tone.
Raul was known for his integrity and loyalty, making genuine friends in various industries.
The owner of Elite High School, had previously fallen on hard times and received Raul’s kindness. After finding success, he came to repay Raul’s generosity.
“I see.” Flora responded, not particularly interested in the matter.
In just one night in the police station, Aaron had become incredibly haggard.
He knew he was thoroughly defeated, but he wasn’t willing to give up. At the very least, he wanted to hire a defense attorney to seek a reassessment of his sentencing.
“I want to request a defense attorney!”
The officer remained expressionless upon hearing his request. He knew that although the evidence was substantial, the trial hadn’t started, and Aaron had the right to a defense attorney.
Still, no matter how good the attomey, it was futile. Crossing that individual meant Aaron had no way out.
Without any
y connections, Aaron couldn’t find a decent lawyer. After much deliberation, he decided to call Carina. He didn’t want Carina to see him in such a state, but he was out of options.
She was his only hope.
The phone call was monitored, with police listening in
As Aaron listened to the dial tone, his heart was in his throat. Finally, after several rings, the call connected
Aaron was elated. “Carina, it’s mel Aaron!! He rushed to speak.
“Aaron?” On the other end, Carina frowned at the unfamiliar number.
“Carina, you’re the only one who can help me now. Aaron explained everything about how Flor got him into the police station.
Carina was shocked. She hadn’t expected Flora to be so ruthless. “Don’t worry, I’ll find you a lawyer as soon as possible.”
Without rest for the whole night, Aaron was on the verge of a breakdown. He couldn’t help but cry at this news.
He was terrified. He was so young. He didn’t want to spend his life in jail.
After hanging up, Carina’s expression tumed grave.
Even if Aaron died in the police station, she wouldn’t bat an eye. But for now, Aaron
along.
