Chapter 1300

Chapter 1300Alice got nothing in return. She took the rap but didn't receive the money that was meant to pay off her
family's debt.
The culprit didn't honor their deal and her heartbroken mother had to seek help everywhere in a
wheelchair.
Even her younger brother was bullied by other kids in school because of what happened.
She finally understood that she had been wrong in every possible way.
“I'm sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry.” Alice rested her head on her mother's lap and wept due to sadness and
guilt.
Although Lucinda was upset, she understood Alice did it to pay off the family's debt.
Therefore, she wouldn't give up on her daughter, no matter how pissed off she was.
Otherwise, Lucinda didn't have to look for ways to bring her out of prison.
Natalie continued to lean against the car and watched them hugging. She didn't go up to disturb them,
for she knew that they missed one another after half a year.
After a long time, Lucinda thought of Natalie. She patted Alice's shoulder, gesturing for her to stop
crying and stand up.
Alice sniffed, wiped away her tears, and stood up.
Then Lucinda grabbed her hand and said, “Alice, come with me to meet Mrs. Thompson.”
Alice murmured a response.After coming up to Natalie, Lucinda gently pushed Alice to the front and said, “Alice, you must thank
Mrs. Thompson.”
Gazing at Natalie, Alice earnestly bowed and said, “I'm sorry, Mrs. Thompson. I shouldn't have taken
responsibility for someone's crime. I'm so sorry for my mistake. Also, thank you for not giving up on me
and rescuing me by arresting Jacqueline. I owe you my sincere gratitude!”
Before leaving prison, Alice heard from the prison guards that Jacqueline was arrested and had come
clean with everything.
Otherwise, Alice probably had to stay in prison for a longer time.
Natalie looked at Alice but didn't help her up. “Take good care of Mrs. Brown since you're out of prison.
Don't do something silly ever again. I wonder why you would take responsibility for someone else's
crime even before meeting the culprit or receiving any money.”
The latter's face reddened with embarrassment as she felt guilty for what she had done.
After glancing at Lucinda's grey hair, Alice nodded earnestly and promised Natalie. “Mrs. Thompson,
rest assured that I know what I should do. After this lesson, I won't be as naive and trust others easily.
From now on, I'll take care of my mom, help her with her business, and raise my brother.”

me drive you home. I have some work matters to attend to later.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Thompson.” Lucinda and Alice thanked Natalie again.
After opening the car door, Natalie and Alice helped Lucinda get in the car. Then, they left the prison in
Natalie's car.
On their way back, Natalie chatted with Alice while she was driving.When Alice asked about Jacqueline, Natalie didn't hide it from her, but told her things that could be
revealed.
Upon listening to Natalie, Alice felt satisfied, as though she had had her revenge.
“That's great! She deserves to pay for everything that she has done,” Alice growled while clenching her
fist.
“You're right.”
Soon, they arrived at Alice's house.
Natalie politely refused their invitation to have some tea and continued driving to the Graham
residence.
At that time, Shane was already at the Graham residence.
Now that Alice had been released, the time was up for Jacqueline to pay her price.
Hence, Natalie wished to know Shane's arrangement.
Upon arriving at the Graham residence, Shane asked the guards to open the door and went in with
Silas.
When they arrived at the room, Jacqueline, surprisingly, didn't lie on the bed but merely sat on it.
