Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 76

“Go and find out more about the White family incident,” Han ordered Ben when he returned to his office.

Ben came back with plenty of information in no time. After all, it was one of the hottest news stories in Linkville.

He placed the file on Han’s desk.

Han took a look at the file, and his expression went stiff.

“Impossible!” he said, throwing the file to the floor.

Han knew Leah too well.

She was very timid. She would not even hurt an ant, let alone kill a man.

Furthermore, Gordon White was her only support in the White family. Therefore, it made no sense for her to kill him.

That would be like digging her own grave.

Ben looked at Han, who was in a foul mood, thinking whether he should say anything. “Mr. Howard, are we going to do anything?” he asked.

Should we?

Han asked himself the same question when he was investigating the incident.

However, what else could he do when Leah herself admitted she killed Randall?

Han’s brows snapped together.

After a while, he lowered his eyes. “No.”

Han wanted to see what that woman would do this time.

……

Two prison officers brought Leah to the deepest part of the prison.

She was only semiconscious, with her head drooping lifelessly.

They brought her to a cell for eight people. There were already seven female prisoners in the cell.

They all looked up from their beds made of wood boards when they heard the door open.

Two prison officers pushed Leah into the cell.

“Hey, Chief Wayne. What had she done?” asked one of the prisoners flirtingly.

“Murder. She killed her father,” Chief Wayne smirked.

“Damn! That’s sick!”

“No, I didn’t do it.” Leah looked up, pressing her lips stubbornly.

“Everyone here said they are innocent, but look at them! They had been here for many years,” said Chief Wayne. Then, he looked at Leah and let out a strange noise.

“I’m only going to tell you this once. If you are here, it means that someone doesn’t want you to go out there again. So there’s no use to fight against that.”

Leah’s eyes went round, and she stared at him in disbelief. “What do you mean?”

“Like I said. Anyway, you are not going out from here ever again. So, it’s OK to tell you this.” Then, he snickered. “Enjoy your remaining days here!”

Then, Chief Wayne left the cell.

Leah wanted to chase after him, but someone pulled her back.

“Hey, where do you think you are going?”

“Yeah! You look like you never lift a finger in your life!”

“Hey, girls. Let’s show her how we do things here.”

Then, they all walked towards Leah.

“What are you doing?” asked Leah warily.

“Haha, let me give you a body check-up,” said one of the prisoners before she lunged at Leah.

Leah wanted to run, but others pinned her down.

They laughed wickedly and snatched away Leah’s clothes. Leah wanted to fight back, but she was too weak to fight off seven people.

Her clothes were thrown in a corner. Seven prisoners stared at Leah and humiliated her with loud laughs.

Leah curled up in a corner, holding her body and trembling.

She wanted to cry, but her tears had dried up after the past two days.

Leah felt so cold she was trembling from it, but she bit her lips and clenched her hands, determined to fight against it.

Three days had passed.

It was the darkest three days in Leah’s life.

She was tortured by the other seven prisoners who shared the cell.

They did not allow her to use her blanket at night. They also poured piss on her bed and made her kneel to shine their shoes.

They also beat Leah up when she started to protest.

Not only that, they did not let her eat.

In three days, Leah had become thin to the bone.

Leah lay on her bed every night, but she could not sleep. Even when she finally fell asleep, she always woke up in tears.

By the fourth day, Leah finally gave up.

When the prison officers brought meals, Leah grabbed his hands and would not let go. “Please, can you ask Han Howard to see me?”

During the past few days, Leah had been thinking a lot.

She wanted to ask Han for help.

Chief Wayne told her before that she was sent to prison because someone was behind it.

If that was true, Leah could not involve Ian.

So, Han was the only person left who could save her.

The prison officer looked at Leah in surprise. “I can do that, but only if he wants to see you.”

Leah bit her lower lips, contemplating.

Then, she made her decision. “Tell him this: Yes, I will.”

The prison officer looked at her in confusion. But he nodded, even though he had no idea what Leah said.

Leah placed all her hopes on Han.

However, the other seven prisoners grabbed Leah once the prison officers stepped out.

“Trying to get rid of us? Dream on!”

Then, they started to snatch Leah’s clothes.

However, Leah held on to her clothes and determined not to let them have their way.

She moved backward, but the rest kept inching closer until Leah’s back hit the wall.

Leah had nowhere to run now.

Leah stared at them, undaunted. “Don’t push me,” she said calmly.

“Haha, we haven’t even started. Go, girls!”

Leah narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly, she lunged at one of the prisoners, grabbed her hair, and smashed her head on the wall.

Immediately, blood was gushing out from her head.

Everyone else came forward, trying to pin down Leah.

However, like a wild horse, Leah was uncontrollable.

Everyone grasped each other on the floor.

Even though Leah had plenty of wounds on her body, she had never felt so satisfied.

Ron was right.

Sometimes, compromise and self-restraint would not bring on mercy from others.

Sometimes, an eye for an eye was the only way to justice.

Leah’s eyes burned with fury. She went into a frenzy and beat everyone down.

At that moment, an angry voice came through the door. “What the hell? Stop it at once!”

Everyone stopped.

Leah was panting and looking at the door with her bloodshot eyes.

It was the prison officer who came before.

With a stern face, he pushed the other seven prisoners aside and walked towards Leah. “Come with me. Han Howard had agreed to see you.”
