Chapter 478
Although Ariel was locked up in the detention center, she was not in a panic.
She was different from Jared, who had no money and no power. She was the only daughter in her family. Her parents would definitely save her.
Because of this thought, she had been treating the policewoman arrogantly. When the policewoman. opened the door, Ariel rolled her eyes and said, “What are you doing here? It’s not lunchtime yet, is it? The steamed buns you brought this morning are too terrible. Give me some shredded chicken. shredded with cold sauce at noon. When I get out, you will benefit from it.”
The policewoman remained unmoved and said, “Your mother is here to see you.”
Ariel immediately smiled and said, “She must have thought of a way to save me-I will give you one last chance. If you apologize to me now, I will not find trouble with you after I’m released, otherwise…”
“Do you not want to go?” The policewoman frowned and said, “Okay.”
As she said that, she was about to close the door. Ariel hurriedly said, “When did I say that I don’t want to go?!”
She tidied up her clothes, raised her chin haughtily, and said, “Let’s go.”
When Ariel saw her mother, she was stunned.
Madam Marcy was someone who cared a lot about her appearance. However, she was wearing a wrinkled dress today without any makeup. She looked very old.
“Mom?” Through the railing, Ariel stared at Madam Marcy. “What’s wrong with you? Where’s Dad? He didn’t come?”
Madam Marcy said wearily, “Your father and I…”
“We’re divorced.”
Ariel felt as if she had been struck by thunder. “Divorced?! Why did you get divorced all of a sudden? Are you crazy?!”
Madam Marcy’s eyes were brimming with tears. “Ariel, I’ve tried my best. No one in Fairby dares to interfere in this matter. I really have no choice. You… don’t worry. I’ll come to visit you often. As long as you perform well, you can be released in advance.”
Ariel was going crazy. “What are you talking about!? I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to!”
Madam Marcy wept bitterly. “It’s because I’m useless… I can’t save you…”
“Why can’t you save me?” Ariel said in a sharp voice, “Is it because you care about your reputation so much that you can’t go and beg others?! Go cry and beg!”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Ariel…” Madam Marcy choked with sobs. “I’ve really tried it…”
Ariel could not help but complain, “Impossible, I don’t believe it! You must think that I made you lose face, so you don’t want to save me. Do you think I don’t know…”
“Ariel, how would I think like that?!” Madam Marcy said, “You are the apple of my eye!”
Ariel said fiercely, “I will never go to jail. I would rather die than be put in jail! If I die… I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!”
After she finished speaking, she turned around angrily and left. Madam Marcy wanted to pull her back, but there was a cold railing between them.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Madam Marcy could only watch as she left, crying uncontrollably.
She knew that her daughter had a bad temper. She was always self-centered. Knowing that she was going to go to jail, she would probably do something stupid.
Now she could only pray that Ariel would not hurt herself.
The detention center was gloomy, but the sun was shining on the outside, making the road full of hot air. The trees on the roadside were also drooping.
Madam Marcy walked forward one step at a time, facing the scorching sun. Suddenly, she felt an unprecedented sense of regret.
If she hadn’t spoiled Ariel so much, what happened today wouldn’t have happened, would it?
