The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4744

Jessica was shocked when she saw Chloe being hurt. She couldn’t help but shout, “What’s wrong with you?!”

Chloe looked even more broken. She had once seen Jessica as her savior, but now Jessica seemed trapped. Feeling desperate, Chloe replied, “Don’t worry about me right now. First, tell me what’s happening with you…”

Jessica, in pain, explained, “It’s not because of your help with the cigarette sales… That girl 1024, her family bought a thousand cigarettes from my sister for a million dollars. My sister had just gathered the cigarettes when the FBI stole them, and then they arrested me before I could leave work…”

“What?!” Chloe exclaimed. “The family of 1024 bought a thousand cigarettes?! Didn’t we agree to only buy two today?!”

Jessica clenched her teeth and said, “I did buy two at first, but then they bought a thousand all at once.”

Chloe quickly asked, “Why didn’t you tell me this?! Are you trying to keep the money for yourself?!”

Jessica snapped back, “Enough with the accusations! The time to talk is over. I was planning to make the money first and then tell you tomorrow, but I didn’t expect the FBI to come after me so soon!”

Chloe pressed on, “So… what charges did they arrest you for?”

Jessica sighed, “I’m suspected of taking bribes, using my position for personal gain, and extortion…”

Chloe gasped in horror, “You’re suspected of extortion? This… this has nothing to do with me, right?”

Jessica gave a wry smile and said,

“Chloe, remember, you came up with the idea for the extortion, and everyone, including 1024, was pushed into this by you. So now, it’s time to face the court. I’m just an accomplice; you’re the main one!”

“What did you say?!” Chloe felt like her world was spinning.

She was no stranger to prison life. After seeing so many prisoners, she had learned a lot about the law, even without a teacher. Whenever she heard someone describe a crime, she could quickly figure out what charges they would face and how long their sentences might be.

Extorting more than a million dollars could mean the harshest penalties. As the main offender, plus her previous record, it seemed certain that she would go to jail.

Feeling hopeless, Chloe turned to Ma Lan, tears in her eyes. “Who are you? Your family is so powerful; why are you here with contraband? If your family is so strong, why would you risk bringing something illegal? Are you lying? Are you sick?”

Ma Lan felt hurt and angry. She thought, “My son-in-law is amazing, and he has such great connections in New York. Yet here I am, being toyed with by Chen Liping and Zong Qiuhua. What a mess! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!”

When Ma Lan heard Chloe call her a liar, her anger boiled over. She raised her hand and started hitting Chloe, shouting, “Who do you think you are, making fun of me? I was framed!”

Chloe felt dizzy from the blows. Just then, Ma…

Lan had been fighting for so long that he didn’t want to stop and rest his hands. Suddenly, he cried out, “Grandma Ma, please forgive me! If you hit me again, I might really get hurt!”

Ma Lan slapped him again and shouted, “How dare you call me Grandma Ma!”

Chloe’s face was bruised and swollen, looking like a pig’s head. The pain was unbearable, but instead of feeling sorry for her, Lan showed no signs of mercy. Even the other inmates, including Chloe’s former friends, watched with satisfaction.

They had all suffered under Chloe’s cruel treatment for a long time. Many of them were unhappy with how she bullied others, and most had been scolded and beaten by her. Seeing her in such a pitiful state brought them a sense of joy and revenge.

At that moment, Ma Lan was also feeling tired.
