Chapter 421 How dare you dislike me?
Prison No. 1, Fengyang District, City A.
The warden was in front of the horse, the two guards were pulling Tess Baker behind them, and Attorney Liu was standing beside Tess Baker.
Several people finally stopped in front of a four-person prison room, and the warden glanced at Tess Baker and hesitantly asked, “Counselor Liu, are you sure you want to send her inside this room?”
“I’m pretty sure as well as certain that I’ll be responsible for anything that goes wrong, so don’t ask any more questions.” Lawyer Liu still had that gentle demeanor, but this time his tone was extraordinarily strong.
Tess Baker didn’t know what kind of people were locked up in this room, but judging by the warden’s attitude, it wasn’t a good place to keep anyone.
She frowned and wasn’t sure what she was expecting, “Was it Bowen Carter’s special order to put me in this room, too?”
“Right.” Lawyer Liu lifted his wrist to look at his watch and said, “I have a big case to follow up on in a while, so please move quickly.”
The warden nodded, gave Tess Baker a sympathetic look, and instructed the two guards to take her in, then slammed the door behind them.
The room had limited space, bunk beds, four beds in total, and nothing more.
The house was very poorly lit, with only a small window with a side length of ten centimeters open near the roof, with two bars on it.
The sun shone through the window into the room, there was no warmth in the bright light, only the same grim feeling as the prison.
Tess Baker stood casting a patch of light, squinting into the sunlight, and, whether it was stimulated by the sun or something else, two tears ran silently down her cheeks.
“All of you, be honest and don’t get fancy!”
“You, get in there quick!”
At that moment, there was a cacophony of noise from outside and the door was pushed open with a bang.
Tess Baker stood with her back to the door as she wiped the tears from her face. People were bullies, even more so in here, and she couldn’t let them see that side of her.
She took a deep breath and pushed down the apprehension in her heart.
“Yo, new guy in town, huh?” The woman with the high cheekbones walked over to Tess Baker and tapped her on the shoulder, “Who’d you kill to get in here?”
“I didn’t kill anyone.” Tess Baker turned to look at her visitor with a flat expression.
“Still a prude, heh!” The woman’s eyes flashed with a flash of amazement when she saw her face, narrowing her eyes and pinching her chin, “But you’re good-looking, so don’t say anything if you don’t want to, and I won’t make it difficult for you!”
The woman’s gaze made Tess Baker uncomfortable and she stepped back, putting distance between them.
A woman behind them looked at Tess Baker several times, as if confirming something.
“Damn, how dare you dislike me?!” Seeing this, the woman’s face grimaced as she walked over to Tess Baker and yanked her by the hair, “Don’t make me angry or suffer the consequences!”
“What do you want?” The woman’s strength was so great that the tug made Tess Baker’s scalp ache and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
The woman let go of Tess Baker’s hair and came up to the nape of her neck and took a deep breath, her look of enjoyment mixed with a sinister one.
Tess Baker frowned, goosebumps rising all over her body, what the hell was this woman up to?
She pushed the woman away violently, only to feel her blood run cold throughout her body.
Bowen Carter… Bowen Carter actually sent her here on purpose to get back at her!
In a moment of inattention, the woman was actually pushed back several practiced steps by her, the back of her head hitting the bed with a loud thud.
The woman rubbed the back of her head, a fierce gleam emanating from her eyes, and strutted over to Tess Baker.
This kick was a solid use of force, Tess Baker was directly kicked over to the ground, the body pain seems to have millions of needles in the general.
She rolled on the floor in pain, but the woman yanked her by the hair and rode her, slapping her five or six times and cursing unpleasant words.
This woman’s ruthlessness was no match for the likes of THE BAKER’S MOTHER, and with her slaps, Tess Baker’s face instantly swelled up, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
“That’s enough, Polly King!” the clean-cut looking woman finally confirmed what was going on as she walked over and grabbed the woman, slamming the woman to the ground as she did so.
The woman called Polly King had a hostile frown on her face, “Moon Levis, you stay out of my business or I’ll beat you up too!”
“You can try and see who beats who in the end.” Moon Levis was clean-cut looking, but his spine was straight and he didn’t flinch at all.
Polly King cursed at the bad luck, spat on the ground, and reluctantly took a few steps forward.
She left, but her eyes were still glued to Tess Baker.
“How are you doing, are you hurt anywhere vital?” Moon Levis stepped forward and helped Tess Baker to her feet.
Tess Baker didn’t know what the character of this Moon Levis person was, but the other person had just helped her and she said thank you sincerely.
And, for the life of her, she couldn’t understand why the other woman was still using honorifics for her.
“It’s amazing that there’s anyone here. Say thank you to him, funny!” Polly King’s eyes seemed to look through Tess Baker.
Tess Baker couldn’t take it anymore, her stomach churned and she spat a mouthful of acid outward.
“Don’t pay any attention to her, you’ll get used to it in the future.” Moon Levis’ eyes were filled with disgust and disdain, she just glanced at Polly King before quickly retracting her eyes and asked, “Boss Baker, you don’t recognize me?”
“You are?” Tess Baker looked at her carefully for a moment, but there really wasn’t anyone like that in her memory.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a flash of loss under Moon Levis’ eyes, “It’s normal for a busy man like you not to remember me. I am Moon Levis, six years ago I was wandering the streets without even food, then you gave me a job.”
“It’s you?” Tess Baker was vaguely impressed by her reminder, “Why are you … here?”
She wasn’t exactly a sympathetic person, it was just that Moon Levis’ appearance at the time reminded her of her own when she was down and out, and she’d gone along with helping Moon Levis out.
“Me?” Moon Levis pointed a finger back at himself and smiled to himself, “Why I was on the streets back then, do you know?”
How could Tess Baker possibly know why when she’d only met her once, and only even learned her name today?
