Wendy looked a little serious after hanging up the phone.
Connie, who had been paying close attention to her, leaned over and caught a few keywords. Then she asked, "Sister Wendy, did the Public Security Bureau call you?"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded.
"Oh, God, are you okay?" Connie asked in a hurry.
Wendy shook her head and said with a frown, "I'm fine, but I just need to meet someone."
"Ah, now?" Connie checked the time on the wall clock as they were working now.
Wendy also took a look at the time. After thinking for a while, she stood up with the phone in her hand and said, "Then I'll have to ask the supervisor for a leave!"
She successfully got some time off work. Before she entered the elevator, she decided to call Charlie.
However, he did not answer her call. Perhaps he was in a meeting, she thought. So, she stopped calling and left the office building to call a taxi to the Municipal Public Security
Sub-bureau.
Upon arrival, she said the purpose of her visit, and a policeman came to her, saying, "Miss Lim, please follow me!"
Wendy nodded and walked down the corridor with him.
She happened to hear Charlie say that Helen's case had been transferred from the procuratorate to the court of appeal. However, since she had not been sentenced yet, she was temporarily detained here. After the official judgment of her sentence was made, she would be handed over to prison.
In such a civilized country, no one could escape the punishment of the law.
The police took her to the door of a room, opened it, and motioned her to a chair. "Wait a minute. The prisoner will be sent here soon."
"Okay. Thank you." Wendy nodded.
Not long after she sat down, the iron door inside was pushed open, and the police brought the handcuffed Helen in.
When Wendy rushed to the scene, Helen had been arrested and taken away, leaving only neighbors standing in the field watching. Now, Helen was right before her. In Wendy's memory, she had never been in such a mess before, even at the time when she was merely a mistress before her marriage.
Then Wendy remembered Yolanda, who ended up the same way as her mother. She and her mother had been enjoying an extravagant life in the past four years. It might never occur to them that they would spend so many years in prison after that.
The evils people bring on themselves are the hardest to bear.
Since they chose to do evil things, they had to bear the consequences.
Helen sat down, her handcuffs landing on the table, clanging. Subconsciously, Wendy touched her belly and secretly told her not to fear.
"Go ahead. Why do you want to see me?" Wendy spoke first.
Abruptly, Helen dashed forward to grab her hand across the table, her handcuffs clashing.
