Chapter 35 Driven to Desperation
Madelyn froze.
Camila's face was pale as she said again, "Your father committed suicide in the jail! He's been saved, but is in bad condition! Madelyn, please, I beg you to think of a way to let me see him! His health has always been poor, and this blow is too big!"
Camila covered her face and cried out.
Madelyn's mind was in turmoil. She couldn't believe that her father, a man of iron will, would commit suicide, as he was perfectly fine when she saw him the other day! She called Owen at once, asking him to help them see Samuel.
At the same time, Owen had also received the news and was about to discuss it with Madelyn, so he asked her to come to the law firm to talk.
Madelyn comforted Camila with this news, and the two of them hurried to the law firm even without eating breakfast.
Mr. James looked serious.
He made several phone calls in front of Madelyn and Camila, and then shook his head, "He's fine, but he can't be released on bail. He has to be treated inside."
Thinking of her relationship with David, Owen tactfully said a few more, "Ms. Green, since your father's case involves the Campbell family, you... could you approach Mr. Campbell and see if there's any room for negotiation?"
Mr. Campbell... Daniel!
Madelyn closed her eyes in pain. She should have guessed that Daniel was behind this! He had done so many unreasonable things, all just to force her to come back to him.
But how could she go back?
If Madelyn became the other woman, her father would be furious even to the point of spitting blood! But she couldn't give in. What about her dad and Camila? Did they really have to be ruined and perish?
Madelyn sat there blankly.
Mr. James looked at her with some sympathy and handed her a cup of warm water, saying softly, "Why don't you talk to Benjamin again? David told me that you've been getting close recently."
Madelyn's heart felt like it had been pricked by needles.
It hurt, and it was continuous.
Mr. James was an experienced person, and he continued in a gentle tone, "Benjamin is not so unsympathetic. The other day he came to me to pick up..."
He suddenly thought of what Benjamin had told him and stopped himself.
