Chapter 218 Released From Prison
Chapter 218 Released From Prison
Steven must have found something out for him to suddenly attack Deborah. After hearing that Deborah
had been hospitalized, Edric was in full admiration for Steven. He was indeed a politician after all, he
was vicious enough to think of such a way to deal with her.
Edric had originally planned for Deborah to live a life worse than death. However now that Steven had
already done what he wanted to do, he decided to just let it happen. He would let Deborah live out the
rest of her life in an asylum. Edric also told Jordan about what happened and instructed him not to let
Irene find out. They would talk about it once she had given birth. Naturally, Jordan agreed.
For the past few days, Loraine had been thinking hard for a solution. Finally she thought of one. She
wanted to attempt to mix a Plan B pill into Rosa's water and let her drink it. That way she would
definitely have a miscarriage.
However, how would she get Rosa to drink the drugged water? She had to find a way to do it
inconspicuously so that no one would get suspicious.
Her son was broke so Loraine paid for all their essential needs. After some thought, Loraine decided to
send her son some essential items, such as her son's favorite drink. She would then mix the pill into it.
However, she was also worried that the pill might have an adverse effect on her son if he drank it, so
she called up Marie. Marie told her that the pill would have no effect on men. Loraine was relieved and
went ahead with her plan.
She bought quite a few different pills and used a syringe to insert them into the drinks that she bought
for her son. Besides that, she also bought him some food and some daily necessities. She made sure
Rosa was not around when she personally delivered all the items to her son.
Of course, Tommy had no idea that Loraine was trying to set them up. When he saw that his mother
had brought so many things over, he was overjoyed. Even when he brought Cecilia up, Loraine did not
object. All she said was that they could not reveal her identity for now so she asked him not to tell
others about the relationship between them.
Seeing that his mother was not opposed to the idea of their relationship, he was thrilled. His mother's
identity was indeed a problem though. They definitely could not reveal her identity now, but perhaps
they could after he had officially married Cecilia. So, Tommy accepted her request.
At night, when Rosa returned, she drank the drinks that Loraine had sent over. The next morning, she
suddenly felt contractions in her abdominal area and she started bleeding. Tommy and her started to
panic and he immediately called Loraine for help. Naturally, Loraine did not dare to send her to any
other hospital so she told her son to take her to the hospital that Marie worked at.
She called Marie and asked her to hide the real reason that Rosa had a miscarriage. Marie agreed
without hesitation.
Rosa was quickly sent to be treated at the hospital. Not everyone was suited to miscarry from a Plan B
pill. Rosa was not young anymore, and it had been an accidental miscarriage. The remaining cells
inside her had formed a blood clot and she had started bleeding heavily. If she had not reached the
hospital in time, she might have lost her life.
Hearing this, Loraine felt like it was such a shame. She should have asked her son to send her to the
hospital a little later. Then, perhaps Rosa could have just died like that and Loraine would have saved
herself the trouble.
Marie had hired a private detective to investigate Deborah. As expected, the private detective did not
let her down. He quickly informed Marie about the fact that Deborah was now contained in a mental
asylum.
Marie was very surprised. She never expected Steven to pull such a move. Since he had been so
harsh on Deborah, he must have found out about the past. Marie started to feel a little afraid. She did
not know if Deborah had exposed what Marie herself had done as well. If Steven found out about what
she had done to Irene all those years ago, he definitely would not let her go.
Steven was no saint. Just because he had not done anything to her so far did not mean that he would
not do so in the future. She had to quickly think of a way to resolve the situation.
Marie was not worried about herself, rather she was more worried about her daughter, Lily. Knowing
how cruel Steven was, and how he treated Deborah, there was no way he would go easy on Lily either.
Marie had to make sure she was safe.
Marie went to the private hospital to pay Lily a visit. She was doing well there, Steven had kept
Deborah's matter a secret from Lily. When Marie saw that Lily was staying in the most expensive suite
at the hotel as well as how good she was being treated, Marie was relieved. If Steven knew about all
the crimes they had committed, he definitely would not have let Lily go. From that perspective, it
seemed like Deborah had not ratted them out after all.
If so, she had to find a way to get Deborah out. She had to make sure Steven never had the chance to
go ask Deborah what happened or else she would be doomed.
Marie hired a bunch of gangsters and paid them to set the asylum on fire. While the hospital was busy
transferring patients out to safety, Marie sneaked Deborah out.
Deborah was covered in dirt and she had lost a significant amount of weight. Her legs were broken too.
She had originally thought she would be spending the rest of her life in that mental asylum. Now that
she had been rescued, she was ecstatic. Right now, hiding from Steven was the most important thing.
She was a dead woman now. If Steven caught wind of her whereabouts, she would be dead meat.
Deborah no longer cared about keeping Logan secret from Marie anymore, so she told Marie to drop
her off at Logan's house.
Steven quickly found out that the mental asylum had caught fire. Apart from Deborah's disappearance,
no other patient was injured. He immediately understood that the fire was part of a plan to rescue
Deborah out. Steven arranged for Deborah's death so as to not draw suspicions to her sudden
disappearance.
Of course he also wanted Deborah to live a life worse than death. He had done so to make sure that
she had no prospects of living a normal life again. However, he had not expected anyone to be so loyal
to her and rescue her out.
It seemed that he had underestimated this b*tch. She clearly had other accomplices outside. He had to
think of a way to figure out who they were. The only problem was he could not do so openly, instead,
he had to carry out everything in secret.
Likewise, when Edric heard about the fire at the asylum, he knew immediately that Deborah had been
rescued. Right now, there was nowhere she could hide, and the only person she could go to was
Logan.
When Steven had put her into the asylum, he had no intentions of ever touching her again. However,
now that Deborah had broken free and stirred up all these problems, there was no choice but to make
the entire thing into a scene.
Deborah had been suffering for so many days. Marie rescuing was like going from hell to heaven. She
took a bath and ate a nice meal. Then, she told Logan the entire story about why Steven was after her.
Logan turned pale with fright upon hearing this. Since Steven already knew that Myra's accident was
planned, that meant that he was in danger as well. He could not stay in this place any longer. He had to
quickly leave San Fetillo and hide somewhere else.
Deborah knew as well as he did that San Fetillo was not safe anymore, but she could not leave Lily
behind. Besides, she had to find out who the anonymous person who wrote that threat letter to her
was.
Logan and her were the only people who knew about Myra's actual cause of death. Deborah herself
had never told anyone, so that meant that it must have somehow come from Logan.
Deborah asked Logan if he had told anyone about what happened that year. At that point, Logan knew
there was no point in denying it anymore, so he told Deborah about Rosa.
Deborah was furious and scolded him fiercely. In the face of her fury, Logan could only keep silent.
After Deborah vented out all her anger, she started to think about how to take revenge.
She knew that the anonymous letter must had something to do with that b*tch Rosa. She had to be the
one who had exposed the matter. Deborah was full of injuries now, and her legs were crippled, all
because of Rosa. How could she let Rosa just roam around freely? She had to take her revenge before
leaving the city.
Edric went to look for Director Lewis and got him to release Loraine's partner, Jackson, from jail. After
his release, he returned to Cat Alley. Although back then he had been a infamous gangster there, his
glory days had long passed. Most of the gangsters he used to hang out with were no longer in Cat
Alley. The gangsters that hung around there now were no longer the people he was familiar with.
Jackson's return did not draw much attention from anyone. All he had with him was a simple bag of
luggage. As he drew up the gate of his house, he saw that it had been overrun by grass and looked
shabby.
His parents had passed away more than ten years ago and his sister was nowhere to be found. This
house had been vacant for at least ten years. Jackson's heart was filled with sadness at the sight of the
dilapidated and desolate scene before his eyes. He had once been a man filled with lofty aspirations. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that he would end up where he was right now.
When he was released, he had thought it would cause a commotion. He had thought all the big shot
gangsters would invite him out to drink and celebrate. Then, he would eventually be able to rise up and
rule the streets again like he used to.
Unfortunately, the sight before him shattered Jackson's dreams. The house was inhabitable. He had no
choice but to take his luggage and head to a nearby hotel. He decided to fix the house up once he
settled down more.
Jackson did not have much money on him. He only had what he had earned while working in prison.
The amount was only enough to last him a couple of days, so he had to find another way to make a
living.
After settling down in the hotel, Jackson headed out to buy a cheap meal. Unexpectedly, he was
stopped on his way out. The man looked at him up and down and asked him with friendliness,
"Jackson?"
