She really wanted to be friends with Adah. In her mind, if she could get close to Adah, Laurinda wouldn’t matter anymore, and even the Gates family would be nothing to her.
Laura rushed out of school and hurried straight to the hospital. But when she found out Adah had been sent to the psych ward, she was left standing there in shock.
Wasn’t Adah supposed to be Cabinda Adah? How did she end up as a psychiatric patient? Was her identity all a lie?
Right as Laura tracked down where Adah was staying, the Charles family showed up at Apex Hospital too. One of the men looked over Adah’s medical chart, his jaw tight, like he wanted to rip the papers apart.
A mental illness label was a stain that would never wash off. There was no way the Charles family would accept something like that. How could Adah have been so careless?
“Bagot, Adah’s still being treated on the ninth floor. Should we bring her home?” someone asked.
Bagot pressed his fingers to his temples, frustration all over his face. Ever since Lacy had pulled out of their deal, the Charles family had been hit with problem after problem.
First, there was an issue with their chip data. Then contracts started getting canceled from all sides. After that, a tax scandal blew up.
If it hadn’t been for a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the Charles family probably would have gone under completely.
It was only later they figured out the person behind all of it was Adah. She’d crossed someone she never should have messed with.
Bagot was here today to take Adah to apologize, hoping that maybe, just maybe, they’d be shown some mercy.
“Yes, bring her back. Call her doctor right now. Tell them her mental illness is just a misunderstanding, have her transferred out, and make sure the medical records are changed.”
The Charles family couldn’t have a stain like that hanging over them, especially not something as serious as mental illness.
