After hearing this, Erica immediately slapped her thigh and said, "I knew he'd screw up big time. You know, he's been a jerk since he was a kid, pushing people into the water out of nowhere, even pushing their heads underwater! I've even seen him hurt people with a knife!"
Listening to this, Larkin felt a bit torn.
"Wait, he pushed people into the water and held their heads down?" Larkin asked.
Erica was slightly taken aback and after a silence, she replied helplessly, "Yeah..."
Actually, there was more.
When Jack was a kid, he would suddenly pop out of nowhere, kick Erica, or knock her down.
Seeing Erica cry would make him happy.
Larkin's grip on the steering wheel tightened.
He glanced at Erica and gave a soft acknowledgment. Erica, with a smile on her face, took off her seat belt, leaned over to Larkin, gently stroked his face, and gave him a kiss, "Alright, let's hit the road!"
Seeing Erica's spirited demeanor made Larkin feel even more heartbroken.
All these years, how much pain had she endured, and how had she managed to heal herself...
Larkin started the car.
His eyes were squinted, hiding the coldness in them.
The evidence against Jack was overwhelming, and after his arrest, facing a hefty bail, Calvert chose not to bail him out.
Life in prison wasn't good for Jack.
There was a heavy offender in the same prison who targeted him almost every day, arranging for different people to dunk him in a water barrel, over and over. They only pulled him out when he was about to drown.
As soon as he had regained his breath, they would dunk him again.
He was tortured like this for half a year.
