The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4725

When Ma Lan saw that James White was not going to let her go, she felt a wave of despair. She realized that she would have to enter the detention center today.

In her previous experience, Ma Lan had been really afraid of places like that. This time, being in a foreign country like the United States made her even more anxious about what awaited her in the detention center.

She never expected that Charlie Wade could arrange for James White to help her get a medical diagnosis, which would allow her to stay in the hospital instead. If they could catch Mei Yuzhen quickly, Ma Lan might not even have to go to the detention center to clear her name.

However, Charlie Wade believed that if that happened, Ma Lan wouldn’t learn her lesson. So, he told Fei Jianzhong to make sure James White sent Ma Lan to the detention center today.

Seeing the despair on Ma Lan’s face, James White tried to comfort her. “Ms. Ma, your son-in-law is working hard to help you solve this situation. You don’t need to worry too much. You will probably be in the detention center for about ten days, and then you should be released.”

Ma Lan knew she had no choice but to wait, so she nodded slightly. Even though she was reluctant, she accepted her fate.

Noticing how upset she was, James White continued, “After you get to the detention center, I will make sure our staff deposits enough money into your account there. This way, you can buy what you need. When it’s time for your release, you’ll be able to call your family, including your daughter and son-in-law.”

Hearing that she could make a call brought Ma Lan a small sense of relief.

Ma Lan felt a bit better as she looked outside. Since her arrest, she had been missing her daughter and son-in-law a lot. Apart from a brief phone call at the beginning, she hadn’t been able to reach them.

With a sad expression, Ma Lan said to James White, “Lawyer White, please tell my son-in-law that he needs to act quickly. Whether I can go back to China alive depends on him.”

James White nodded and replied seriously, “Ms. Ma, don’t worry. The police have my phone right now, but I will contact your son-in-law as soon as I get it back.”

Then he added, “By the way, Ms. Ma, make sure to have a good lunch at the hospital today. After lunch, the police will take you to the detention center. I have a lot of work to do, so I won’t be able to come back in the middle of the day.”

Ma Lan quickly asked, “Lawyer White, which prison will I go to?”

James White answered, “Ms. Ma, as the judge requested, you will be sent to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in upstate New York.”

She asked, “Is a correctional facility less serious than a prison?”

“No,” James White explained. “Even though it’s called a correctional facility, it is actually the only women’s prison in New York for felons and suspected felons.”
