At this very moment,Alan finished cleaning the kitchen and came out. Gilmore waved at him and said with a smile, Good son-in-law, come sit down and have a cup of tea.Sure. With no one else at home, Alan didn’t stand on ceremony with Gilmore and sat right in front of him.Gilmore quickly poured a cup of tea for him and said, Oh, it’s all thanks to you that I get to sit in this big villa and drink tea. Hurry up and have a taste.Alan nodded and said with a smile, Thank you, Dad.After speaking, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and secretly shook his head.Gilmore really didn’t have much money and lived frugally. This tea was worth at most 50 US dollars a catty, yet he drank it with such obvious enjoyment.At this moment, Gilmore said with a grin, This tea is really good stuff. I secretly bought it from a tea farmer’s granddaughter online—1,000 US dollars a catty. I didn’t dare buy much, just bought 100 grams, and I usually can’t bear to drink it.Alan asked in surprise, A tea farmer’

At this point, the leading police officer said, All right, get her in the car and take her back to the station for a thorough interrogation later!Covered in blood, Ivy was dragged forcefully by two police officers. Her legs scraped against the ground as she screamed hysterically at the top of her lungs, I’m wronged! The card isn’t mine! It belongs to that bastard Alan! Why are you arresting me? Why not go after that bastard instead?Everyone in the bank lobby stared in stunned silence at the scene. Ivy no longer cared about embarrassment; she wailed at the passers-by, Help! I’m being wronged! You have to testify for me!The onlookers were all stunned. Testify? What testimony? Do we even know you?At that moment, the officer in charge said coldly, Let me tell you, even if you kick up a huge fuss, it won’t help! Once we get to the police station, there’ll be a much longer interrogation waiting for you. I suggest you save your energy!Covered in blood and looking like a demon, Ivy strug

At the same time, inside Cell 025, Old Mrs. Mill had just calmed her emotions a little with the comfort of the other inmates.She truly hadn’t expected that these fellow prisoners in the cell would sympathize with her so much. Everyone gathered around, offering words of comfort one after another, which really made her feel much more at ease.Tasha’s mood had also improved significantly compared to when she first entered the detention center.She had previously thought that the detention center would be just like in the movies—filled with bullies who liked to pick on others. Newcomers would be bullied, humiliated in all sorts of ways, and even go without food. But she never expected it to be such a warm place instead.Just then, someone looked toward the door and shouted: Another new inmate is here!Outside the iron door, the female prison guard unlocked the cell where Old Mrs. Mill was being held. She gave Ivy a push, shoving her into the cell, and said: Go in and reflect on your action

Ivy screamed, You can't do this! Someone could die! If someone dies, you won't be better off either!Philippa grinned menacingly and said, Don't worry. If you really die, I'll tie your bed sheet to the beam and hang your body up! We'll say you committed suicide out of guilt!Philippa's few words scared Ivy so much that she almost wet her pants.She had no doubt about Philippa's words at all—Philippa looked far too fierce, and coupled with how brutally she had beaten Ivy just now, it had left an immediate psychological trauma on her.With Philippa backing her up, Old Mrs. Mill also kicked Ivy and cursed, Will you write it or not?Ivy let out a cry of pain and sobbed, I'll write... I'll write, okay...Philippa slapped her again and scolded, You're just a masochist! When we talk to you nicely, you refuse to agree, but only after we beat you do you behave!Ivy felt extremely wronged and quickly blurted out, You didn't even talk to me nicely... You just started hitting me right away...Phil

Mia was so anxious that she kept repeating that she wanted to go to the police station. Gilmore, who was standing nearby, said, Oh Mia, your mom is an adult. She might have something to take care of—why do you need to interfere? What if she really wants to leave this family? You can’t ask the police to bring her back by force, can you?How could that be? Mia said seriously. Mom has been looking forward to living in Tomson Yipin for so long, and now we’ve finally moved in. Even if she wanted to leave this family, with her personality, she would never choose to do it at this time! Dad, you’ve lived with Mom for so many years—don’t you know her at all?Gilmore fell into deep thought at once.His daughter’s words had woken him up.What kind of person was Ivy?She was someone with an extremely inflated vanity—so much so that it was off the charts.And she was also someone who dreamed of nothing but enjoying life in comfort.No matter when she might choose to leave home, she would never do it on
