Chapter 2003
Night of Destiny
âWe need her to come with us.â Shocked, Olivia turned around and ran toward her
daughterâs room. When she opened the door, Selena was still sleeping. Olivia
shouted, âWake up, Lena! What did you do this time, you ingrate?â
âWhat did I do?â Selena shouted in annoyance. âThe police are here, Olivia said, her
eyes red in anger. Selena instantly panicked as she thought, What?!
She anxiously gripped her motherâs hand, saying, âMom, if anything happens to me,
ask. Dad to look for Ellen!â âWhy? Did you mess with her again?â
âDonât ask, Mom. I donât want to go to jail again. I was just getting a little revenge on
her, and it was supposed to be a harmless joke.â âWhat did you do?â Olivia couldnât
believe her daughter had gotten into trouble again, and with Ellen at that.
Meanwhile, Connor was asking questions at the door. The police said
straightforwardly, âYour daughter is suspected of seducing someone and receiving
15,000 in return. Sheâs also suspected of threatening and slandering others.â
âWhat? Impossible. My daughter will never do such a thing.â âWe have obtained
sufficient evidence, and weâre arresting her according to the law. Please. refrain from
obstructing official duties.â
Selena had just stepped out of her room when the police came in to arrest her. She
turned around and looked pleadingly at her father. âDad, please talk to Ellen. Ask her
to forgive me and let me off the hook! I donât want to go to jail again, Dad!â
She was regretting it to the core as she didnât want to go back to prison again. Connor
was so mad that he stepped forward and slapped Selena across the face. âSince
when have I raised a useless daughter like you?â
âLena, my dear Lena! Donât worry, weâll definitely beg Ellen for mercy. I wonât let you
go to jail again,â Olivia promised through tears as she went down the stairs after her
daughter.
A peaceful morning had turned tense and terrifying simply because her daughter did
something wrong again. Olivia was regretting it now. How could her daughter be so
clumsy? She thought Selena would turn over a new leaf, but the girl was being
arrested again.
Meanwhile, Connor had given up all hope on his daughter. He had clearly made the
wrong decision by allowing her to study abroad. Selena never learned anything
related to her studies and absorbed all the negative habits instead.
It wouldnât be a problem if they were poor. Selena could just suffer early in life, then
get. married and live the rest of her life in security. It would be much better than her
life right now.
âConnor, go and talk to Ellen. You have to find her even if your life is at risk,â Olivia
said angrily. Last time, their daughter had been jailed for a year and a half because
Connor couldnât find Ellen. Now, she didnât want Selena to go back to jail if they could
help it.
He was getting old. It was late at night, so where could he possibly look for Ellen? If
he had to run around looking for people, it would be too taxing for him at his age..
âIâll talk to her tomorrow morning.â Connor couldnât be bothered about his daughter
anymore. At that moment, Olivia became so mad that tears began falling from her
eyes.
Still, she had no choice. She hated Ellen for being so cruel, but it was also her
daughterâs fault for being at loser. She had lived most of her life in bliss, but she had
to worry about her daughter in her old age. She wondered if that was retribution from
the heavens.
At the police station, Alden and Jay stubbornly refused to admit that they had
slandered Ellen, and they only began panicking when evidence was presented to
them.
To them, this was just a joke, so how could they get arrested for this?
However, they quickly realized that this wasnât a joke; they were actually being
prosecuted. Hence, they tried to blame it on someone else, wishing they could be
completely free of this responsibility.
When Selena was taken in, Jay happened to be leaving the interrogation room at the
same time. The moment he saw Selena walking in his direction, he pointed at her and
said angrily, âItâs her. Sheâs the one who threatened me!â
When she saw him, she knew that the end was inevitable. There was no escaping
now, and she even felt like dying at that moment.
At noon, two apology videos were uploaded online, and they had so many views that
they went viral in an instant. In the videos, Alden and Jay behaved with utmost
sincerity while apologizing. No matter what identities they once held, at that moment,
they had only one- sinners.
