A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 148

The police advised Charles to leave. Charles glanced at his mother but couldn't tolerate seeing her out of control and turned to leave. Christina's screams were heard from the outside as she resisted the police who were handcuffing her until she finally collapsed in sadness and anger.

Charles turned to the wall, lowered his head, and punched the wall fiercely with his fist, decadent and frustrated. No matter what, that woman was his mother. Despite everything she had done to him, he still felt sad to see her in this condition.

Daniel walked toward him and patted him on the shoulder. “I know it's hard. If it helps, cry it out. She is your mom after all, and nobody will blame you for feeling this way.”

Charles turned around and looked at Daniel with red and wet eyes. It was evident that he was crying inside, but he still controlled himself from the outside.

“I’m all right!” He said indifferently.

Daniel patted his shoulder again and sighed, “Why don’t you tell your mother your plan? You turned her in because you are worried about her. After all, if she is stopped on time, she will serve less time in jail and will be able to resume her normal life soon again.

"Without your intervention, she would sink deeper and deeper, and once the day comes where she is investigated, she may face a life sentence rather than just a few years. What you did is in her best interest, so why are you so indifferent to her now and let her think that you are against her? You can explain it to her!”

Charles shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. "There is no need for it. She's my mom, I know her well. She is out of control now, so even if I told her that I did it for her own good, she'd call me a liar. Let her go! If she needs to vent her anger by hating me, then so be it. Gradually, she will start to understand. Based on her personality, telling her the truth doesn't help, she has to realize it herself eventually. There's no use in explaining anything to her right now. Time will prove everything.”

“You have the same character and are easily misunderstood, like Sarah… ”

Hearing Sarah's name, Charles’s eyes immediately became dim. Both remained silent for a while.

“Thank you for your help at this time. Without our help, my mom would not have believed me so easily, and I wouldn't have found where Sarah was being kept hostage.”

“Don’t mention it. Sarah is just like a younger sister to me, I took care of her since we were children. But it seems you made a big mistake this time, and she left you silently for good this time.”

Charles became even sadder, lowering his head in silence.

“Your mom has been arrested now. What are you going to do now? And your sister Emma… What's gonna happen to her?”
