The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4732

Ma Lan was aware that the place was dangerous, filled with deceitful people. Knowing this wasn’t the right moment to argue with the American prison guard, she quickly asked, “Can I call home now?”

“It’s alright,” Jessica Brownstone replied casually. “After dinner, it’s time to unwind, and then you can use your ID card to call your family.”

As she spoke, Jessica quietly slipped a note into Ma Lan’s hand and whispered, “This is my sister’s phone number. If you want to buy cigarettes, please reach out to her.”

Hearing she could call her family made Ma Lan incredibly excited. She was so thrilled that her hands shook, making it hard for her to eat. Instead of enjoying her meal, she could only manage a few bites before quickly joining the others outside to breathe some fresh air.

The area where they gathered was a playground in the center of the prison, surrounded by tall walls and buildings. It was about half the size of a football field and was packed with nearly a thousand prisoners. On the edge of the playground, there was a small shop for prisoners and a row of payphones that required cards.

Ma Lan rushed to the phones as soon as she arrived.

Ma Lan was feeling anxious and couldn’t wait to call Charlie Wade. She wanted to cry and ask him for help. But she knew she had to wait until dinner was over and everyone was outside playing.

So, she followed the group to the restaurant. Once there, Ma Lan struggled to hold her dinner plate because her hands felt weak. She found a quiet corner to sit down with her food.

Just as she settled in, Chloe appeared and plopped down across from her with a plate of food. Chloe’s friends, the other female prisoners who had just enjoyed Ma Lan’s pedicure service, quickly surrounded her.

Feeling a little overwhelmed, Ma Lan asked Chloe, “Are you okay?”

Chloe smiled and raised her eyebrows. “I heard from Jessica that your family is rich. Is it true you can charge $10,000 at a time on your card?”

Ma Lan hesitated, then responded, “I… my son-in-law is really thoughtful. He must be worried about me here, so he gave the lawyers extra money to make sure I’m okay.”

Chloe nodded, still smiling. “Since your family is so wealthy, I might need to change the deal I offered you earlier.”

Ma Lan felt nervous. “What do you mean by that?”

Chloe replied casually, “Oh, it’s nothing major. I just thought I could switch from one cigarette a day to two. That shouldn’t be a problem for someone from your family, right?”

Ma Lan grimaced. “But you said before that I could buy cigarettes from Jessica for $400 each, and now she told me they cost $1,000 each…”

Chloe didn’t seem surprised at all and replied with a smirk.

“To you, $1,000 is nothing. Two items cost just $2,000. But if you spend that money, I promise you that at Bader, no one will bully you at Fudshan Correctional Institution,” Chloe said with a smile.

Ma Lan quickly asked, “Is that really true?”

“Absolutely,” Chloe replied, still smiling. “If your family buys two cigarettes from Jessica every day, what happened to you today will never happen again. My sisters and I won’t just stop bullying you; we’ll protect you!”
