The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4731

Chloe pulled her foot out of the warm water, kicked Ma Lan in the chest, and said coldly, “Old woman, you need to understand where you are. You have no choice but to obey me. If you don’t, I have many ways to make you regret it. Do you understand?!”

Ma Lan already had a broken rib, and this kick, even though it didn’t hit the injury, made her cry out in pain.

She looked around at the other inmates, hoping someone would help her or plead with Chloe on her behalf. But to her dismay, everyone, including the girl who had helped her translate, just watched her suffer. With a choked sob, she nodded and said, “I understand… I understand…”

Chloe smiled and checked the time. “You have four hours until dinner. During this time, you just need to give us a few massages!”

Ma Lan realized she had no power to negotiate with Chloe and no hope of gaining sympathy. To avoid more pain, she felt she had to comply.

Not daring to defy her, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Even a trained technician in a pedicure shop couldn’t last four hours nonstop, and Ma Lan was just a beginner.

Within half an hour, her hands were cramping, and her back was aching.

But Chloe didn’t let up. Instead, she beat and kicked Ma Lan more as her strength faded. Ma Lan’s tears flowed continuously from the pain.

After four hours, Ma Lan was exhausted and in severe pain, her arms and hands too sore to lift.

Just when she thought it couldn’t get worse…

Halfway through pinching the last person, a prison guard approached and knocked on the fence door, shouting, “It’s time for dinner! Everyone line up immediately!”

The inmates stood up and formed a line, and Ma Lan finally stopped pinching. However, she had squatted for so long that she struggled to stand up.

As the iron fence door opened, a female prison guard came in to count the inmates. Seeing Ma Lan still on the ground, she quickly stepped over and scolded, “1024, line up right now! If you don’t get in line in three seconds, you won’t eat tonight!”

With all her strength, Ma Lan cried and gritted her teeth as she pushed herself to stand up, slowly making her way into the queue.

The whole prison area, led by the guards, headed to the dining hall. Ma Lan lagged behind, her legs sore and numb. Each step was painful, but she forced herself to keep going.

The female guard noticed Ma Lan’s struggle and slowed down to walk beside her. “1024, is your family wealthy?” she whispered.

Ma Lan was surprised and didn’t know how to respond at first.

The guard smiled and said, “Your lawyer has put $10,000 in your prison account. You can use your ID card to buy things in the store.”

Then she lowered her voice and introduced herself. “I’m Jessica Brownstone. If your family wants to sell cigarettes, remember to reach out to me. American Spirit is a thousand dollars a pack.”

“One thousand?!” Ma Lan exclaimed, puzzled. “Didn’t Chloe say they were four hundred dollars each?”

Jessica Brownstone smiled casually. “Four hundred dollars is…

“Yesterday’s price was different, but today it’s one thousand. If you want to buy it, call your family and have them reach out to my sister. If not, I can’t promise what Chloe might do to you tonight!”
