Something Jackson hasn’t realized yet, his son is actually dating a third grade high school girl who is going to graduate in two months.Girls at her age, it’s hard to predict what they are going to do when they are so broken like this. While Jackson is still staring blankly at the crowd with a pale face, the girl kicks his crotch.The previous three servants, who are still there in front of the cabin, simultaneously show their painful expression.“Ewwww!!!”Jackson kneels down, holding the excruciating pain in his nuts. And the girl, she is now running away while asking for help.“Please! Help me! I was raped! The Governor’s son has raped me!”She stumbles a few times, and then crawls toward the crowds. She is lying, for sure. But her terrible state, that pale terrified face, anguish and desperation, they are not fake at all.She is so pretty yet skinny, looking fragile that easily invites people’s sympathy. A kindhearted middle-aged lady approaches her while taking off her long fur
- Let me take you back to approximately two hours ago, when Thomas was being taken to one of Meelwent police stations. -This is not the Drada police headquarters, only a branch office of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Meelwent.It doesn’t look too busy, because Meelwent is the district with the lowest crime rate in Drada, not a suitable place for police officers who expect to rise quickly.It is safe to say that Thomas' case has the potential to be the biggest case they will ever handle, and those police officers are certainly looking so excited right now.“Gabriel! Get out and tell everyone we just caught a big fish!”“Oh, sure!”That officer named Gabriel rushes out of the car, and runs excitedly. But then, he stops and looks back, calling his partner who is going to take Thomas out of his car.“Hey, Kevin! Be careful with that man! You never know what that guy can do in that situation!”“Just be quick!”To be treated like a big criminal, Thomas can only put o
Officer Scott looks so curious. He takes out the bullets from the loader one by one, and indeed the loader is still at its maximum capacity.But still, these two officers look confused about what Thomas is trying to convey with his argument. And Thomas realizes their confusion.“Give me a break!” Thomas continues underestimating them with a funny look. “You don’t realize what’s wrong with the gun! Yet, you still act like the big shots in front of me!”“So what if the loader is still full?” Officer Scott inquires, his face looks irritated.“That son of the Governor, didn't he accuse me of firing my gun to scare him?” replies Thomas rhetorically. “Now you see it for yourselves, I haven’t used the gun yet! It's clear that he was lying with his accusations.”He closes his argument with a silly chuckle, which only provokes those two officers’ irritation.Now they know how ignorant they have been so far. But their arrogances are too big for their pockets to hide. There’s no way they would ju
This Lothario has always seen himself superior to Thomas who is just the son of a farmer. Of course, the mocking tone coming from Thomas enrages him.But he can’t refute it, because what Thomas said was true. Not wanting to look too embarrassed, he shows a nonchalant smile, and walks away. But…“Hey!” Thomas calls. “You’ve been so kind to bring me this food. Can’t you take off these handcuffs on my hands? How am I going to eat these French fries?”Lothario turns back. He looks so annoyed. But then again, he was told to help Thomas eat without taking off the handcuffs.He comes to Thomas, picks a piece of the French fries from its cup, and then leans his hips on the table near Thomas.“Sorry! I can’t help you with the cuff, but I can help you eat these potatoes,” he offers.Thomas scrunches his face.Lothario offers again by drawing that one stick of French fries to Thomas’ mouth. “Come on! For old time’s sake! This is the least I can do!”“I’m not that hungry,” Thomas declines.“Sigh!
He gently holds Naomi’s hand, and then changes his cunning grin with a charming solemn smile.“It’s okay! You don't need to worry about it!”He gazes straight into Naomi’s eyes with a melancholy face, acting like a genuine prince who has just found his destined princess.Somehow, it is effective to cause Naomi’s cheeks blushing. She looks shy, and this is enough to convince Lothario that his effort has bore its fruits.And so…“You seem to be in a hurry! If you don't mind, I could help you with your business here, and maybe afterward, we could go out for a drink,” he offers.Truth to be told, Naomi is looking embarrassed not because she likes him. Instead, she feels uncomfortable after putting herself as the guilty one, and doesn’t dare to respond rudely to this man's invitationShe pulls her hand back and declines his offer politely. “Sorry! I already have a boyfriend, and I actually came here for him.”Soon, noticing the elevator doors are open, she gives him an awkward smile before
He accepts Naomi’s smartphone with mixed feelings. To make things even worse for him, Jackson Mitchell has heard his shouting too.[Whom I’m talking to now?]The voice on the phone sounds heavy and dark. The fat cop’s face is now slowly painted with fear. Clearly, the Governor is upset by something.“Sir! It’s me! Reuben Webb!”[It’s you, Reuben? I bet you already know who that girl is!]“I do!”[Then, why the hell did you shout at her that way? Have you forgotten how much money Adam Saunders has poured into our police department?]“But sir! I can’t just…”[I heard it, Reuben! I heard everything you just said to her! Regardless of her situation, it’s not your place to call a respectable girl like her a noisy bitch! Want me to put an end to your career?]“Apologize, sir!”He, who previously acted tough like a man with power, is now becoming a “yes man”, only repeating “yes sir” and “understand sir” while bowing his head.However, while Jackson Mitchell is lecturing him over the phone,
Lothario looks so stupid, finding it hard to believe that Thomas, who he often insults as the son of a farmer, would have that much cash in his pocket.“Dude! Where did you get that much money?”“I’m working at Saunders Properties Trust now!” Thomas pats his shoulder a few times, and gets back inside to look for Naomi, leaving Lothario with his confusion.Now Lothario is haunted by guilt. He didn't lie about his mother being hospitalized. He just feels so despicable, accepting money from Thomas after all the insults he threw at him.He takes out the stacked money from his pocket, just to do a double check in case Thomas was just playing a prank on him. But no, the money looks so real.A moment later…“Ting!”The elevator doors are opened. Not wanting to be accused of accepting a bribe, he quickly hides the money back in his pocket and rushes to his working desk.The fact is, the people who come out of that elevator are just outsiders. They come to Lothario’s desk to make a report regar
Now he begins to give a serious thought about the warning Thomas left behind. He hurries back inside, and approaches Lothario.“Connor! Do you know that man earlier?” he asks.Lothario is petrified. His mind is preoccupied with the money he has just received from Thomas. Not wanting to be accused of accepting bribes, he simply shakes his head by faking an ignorant expression.Soon, Abby’s parents appear, and that office becomes a bit frenzied with their hysteria. Reuben Webb can only watch unenthusiastically, until they take their daughter home.“What issue they brought here?” Reuben Webb asks Lothario.“That girl was raped by the Governor’s son,” Lothario replies.Reuben Webb immediately scrunches his face so badly. “Another issue with the Governor?”With a fallen shoulder, he rubs his neck and his tired face. It puts him in a great dilemma, not knowing what to do with this issue. But then, after giving a brief consideration…“Just ignore it, and delete the report!” He orders before h
