RISE OF THE HEIRS: Getting Rid of The Traitor 238
"How did Arthur escape? Did he take advantage of the moment when all the police officers panicked at the sight of mum biting my ear?"Camellia's questions no longer needed answers as Shannon gripped her hand. She hugged Camellia, who had just woken up after no more than half an hour of suturing."You're not supposed to be here."Shannon released her embrace and grasped Lia's hand tightly. "You're innocent, Lia. How can mum keep punishing you? I know very well you're not a narrow-minded girl."Camellia shook her head and touched Shannon's cheeks, which were red from crying throughout the prosecutor's statement."Mum is really that bad, Shannon. Sorry for never telling you. But after all, I grew up the way she wanted me to. In fact, I may even have an attitude that is no less horrible than mum's, Shannon. Go home, please. Before it's too late."Shannon refused to listen. She preferred to hold Camellia's hand even tighter than before."Who will hold you if not me when you're in pain, Lia

Shannon left after the police officer inside returned Aland's phone to her. Smiling tearfully, she took her husband by the hand to walk home together."What do you want to do after it's all over, Aland?"Shannon's brief question made Aland think hard. Occasionally, he would kiss Shannon's head that rested on his shoulder, even if it was only for a moment."I want to continue a happy life with you. Without any enemies. Without anyone else trying to bring us both down."Aland's ambiguous answer made Shannon squint sharply. Her head snapped up as she continued to think about things."How could we possibly live without enemies? Even God, who is known to love his people, still gets hate from time to time. How can we live without enemies when we have made mistakes, hmm?"Aland stopped walking for a moment. Then he grasped Shannon's hand that had just let go of his arm."Maybe this does sound strange. But I think, this world and all of it are the source of the catastrophe, hun. Maybe you won

Suddenly, Shannon's eyes went wide. She took a step back with a sharp intake of breath. She looked around for Aland. Unfortunately, she found no one there.Arthur approached slowly with both hands in each trouser pocket. The look in his eyes was different. Terrifying."Why must be scared, Shannon? I'm just here to ask about your support as a sister-in-law. Can you tell me how much money I can get from you?"Shannon let out a long breath, then swallowed hard over and again."Listen to me, Arthur. As your sister-in-law, I'm asking you to go back to prison. I want you to keep getting your sentence. Only then can you save yourself from the bad influence of the others, Arthur."Arthur leaned closer. His head nodded slowly, as if he understood what Shannon was saying."Don't beat around the bush, Shannon. I'm just asking you for money. I promise I won't hurt you. Nor Aland. But I need your support to keep me safe from my punishment. You know very well I'm not the one who should be blamed. I

One warning shot did not stop Arthur from running away from Aland. Neither did the second shot, fired by the police officers standing guard around the tourist site.In just an instant, the shots were fired quickly. Arthur's left leg was shot by hot lead. Blood spurted down his long trousers. His body collapsed to the ground with the folding knife still in his hand.Seeing Arthur's wounded body covered in blood, Aland quickly crawled to his feet, ignoring the footsteps of the officers who kept approaching to ambush Arthur, who was still trying to run away from the police.Aland tried to get up, even though his shoulder was bleeding. He tried to catch up, but his other hand was grabbed from behind."You're hurt, Aland! Please don't move! I've contacted Allen and the police. I've also contacted the medic! Please, sit still, Aland. You have to apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding. Please, Aland."Aland sat down as he saw Arthur being carried by police officers into a patrol ca

"You killed him for me?"Jill's question greeted Arthur, whose leg was wrapped in a bandage. A single shot had lodged in Arthur's calf, leaving him unable to run for even a moment. His grin greeted Jill, who was quite satisfied even though the two were no longer talking."I not only killed him, mum. I also chopped off his shoulder. He will be in pain. He'll die in pain after losing so much blood."Jill laughed. She grimaced and nodded in understanding with both hands clasped, as if she was giving a big appreciation."That's good enough. He won't forget it for the rest of his life. There will be scars that will keep reminding him how stupid he was to fight the wrong person."Arthur was silent. He headed to the corner of the prison that directly overlapped with the corner of the prison that Jill occupied next door."I couldn't get anything other than his phone. I wish you knew what you could do, mum."Jill laughed when she saw Arthur's hand giving her Aland's phone. She accepted it quic

"Aland asked me to keep quiet. But it was clear enough for me to keep my voice and open."Meggie's opening in the centre of court. She, who was present at Jill's trial for many of the charges, volunteered as one witness to the cruelty she had encountered.Will Smith, as Aland's lawyer, couldn't help but present a fresh case for Jill's trial."Last night, I went to Aland who had been savagely attacked by Arthur, which turned out to be a plan by Jill and Arthur together. They had planned to cause a scene, providing an opportunity for the others to escape quickly. This time, they targeted someone's banking account. Mrs Fischer was the first one the suspects encountered. However, she managed to escape when the victim grabbed the suspect with a rope. Unfortunately, the victim became the suspect's rampage because he didn't get what he wanted. It took more than two hours and at least twenty-eight stitches on the victim's shoulder to recover. Besides the assault, a deliberate es

"Is she getting crazy? How could she come here just to accompany Arthur to prison? After all, everyone knows Arthur will be imprisoned in the city! The charges are just because of the problems there! Then why did she come all the way here just to show her high sympathies? How disgusting! Isn't she even ashamed of his behaviour in front of Arthur's wife?"Jill's muttering didn't end when she had just entered the detention centre in the same clothes without any cellmates to avoid the same persecution. From not far away, Camellia, who was accompanied by three other prisoners, could only remain silent.Lia did feel hurt. Especially when she knew Arthur had implicated his love for Dwyane. She glanced at Jill, who was still pacing back and forth inside the detention centre while biting her thumbnail in anxiety.Camellia closes her eyes. She remembered very well the results of the examination before Jill was put in the cell alone. Although the mental examination of Jill would b

"You're not embarrassed to meet me here?"The question from Arthur, who had just sat down at the back of the glass-fronted room, made Dwyane snigger. She shook her head slowly because she knew very well that visiting someone was not a mistake."I'm here because I want to talk with you. I didn't want to do anything wrong. So why should I be ashamed of people who won't even care what I'm doing?"Arthur paused. He looked up at Dwyane with blue eyes. He smiled before he shook his head slowly."Listen to me, Dwyane. You know, I'm not a good man. I mean, I'm not the Arthur you used to know. I've changed.""I know," Dwyane interrupted. Her hand was pressed against the glass, as if she was holding Arthur's hand from the outside. "I know. You're a good man who's lost. You're just lost. So just accept your current punishment and don't do anything until the court gives you another directive. You know that well, don't you?"Arthur shook his head once more time. His smile
