"Gathering?” Elaine asked, "That d*mn Jacob is still in the mood to go for a gathering? Whom did he go out to meet up with?"
Charlie replied, "He went to meet up with some of his old classmates. I am not too sure about all the details. Should I give him a call now?" 4
Elaine replied angrily, "I want you to come and pick m e up first! I am injured and I need to go to the hospital now!"
Charlie asked, "Mom, why are you injured? Are you alright?"
Elaine said angrily, "My leg is broken! Why are you talking so much nonsense now? Hurry up and get here now!" s
Charlie replied, "Okay then, I will go over there right now."
After he hung up the phone, Charlie stepped out of the house and got a cab as he headed straight to Aurous Hill Detention Center. 5
On his way to the detention center, he called Claire and told her, "Wife, mom just called me. I am going to pick her up now." 2
When Claire heard Charlie's words, she blurted out excitedly, "Really? Did mom really call you? Where is
she now? Is she okay?"
Charlie replied, "Mom told me that she is at the Aurous Hill Detention Center. I asked her for the reason and she told me that she was deceived by some MLM organization and she was involved in a pyramid scheme. The police arrested her two days ago and kept her locked up in the detention center. She is finally released today after she is freed from all suspicions." 10
At this time, Claire suddenly came to a sudden realization! 2
She had already suspected that her mother was cheated by some pyramid scheme or MLM organization. However, she really did not expect her mother to be arrested by the police!
It seemed as though she really had to talk to her mother and ask her not to trust anyone outside who promises her that she would be able to get rich overnight in the future!
As she thought about this, Claire hurriedly said, "Then I will also go over there now. I will meet you at the detention center!"
Charlie hurriedly replied, "My dear wife, you don't have to come all the way here. When I was on the phone with mom, she told me that she was injured. I will bring her to the hospital after I pick her up. You can meet us directly at the hospital then!" 6
