The representative of the international team was totally dumbfounded. After all, Voyage Group could boost its sales and make a fortune with a bit of advertising spending. Though he didn’t say it out loud, his tone suggested that she was insane to turn down their offer

After hanging up, Phalicia thought selfmockingly, I must be insane indeedall that effort I poured into benefiting Voyage Group

But it’s fine. The sacrifices I’ve made for the group, the wealth I’ve generated for Caleb, and the titles I’ve secured for CarleneI’ll take everything back.” 

Soon, she stopped her car outside the iron gates

Looking up, she saw the words above the entranceSarodom Prison

She subconsciously clutched the steering wheel tightly

Shelton grew up with nothing to worry about. Yet, because of her, he went from the oncegilded heir to a prisoner overnight

He had told her repeatedly that he didn’t regret protecting her, but she knew he had never truly come to terms with being locked up

Unwilling to face the harsh reality of his ruined life, he had asked her to 

visit him less

Understanding his feelings all too well, she had complied

But now, she had to see him

In the visiting room

Phalicia sat quietly at the table, her palms already damp with sweat

Footsteps echoed from outside

The door swung open, and a staff member ushered someone in

You’ve got 30 minutes. No physical contact. No loud talking.”

At those words, Phalicia looked up and saw her brother, whom she hadn’t seen in over half a year

Shelton was in handcuffs and a prison uniform. His once sharp and handsome face now bore a few faint scars

He was no longer the confident rich boy in his spotless white shirt. Three years behind bars had long stripped away the elegance and scholarly air that once defined him

Phalicia’s eyes welled up, and she clenched her fists, calling out softly

Shelton.” 

Shelton smiled and walked over to sit across from her. He reached out, then hesitated, tucking his swollen, cuffed hands under the table

It’s not a holiday or anything. Why’d you suddenly come to see me? Is something up with Mom and Dad?” 

Phalicia shook her head. What happened to your face? And your hands

Let me see.” 

Shelton was taken aback, leaning back slightly. My hands are fine. The scars on my face are from a fall. Don’t worry.” 

I don’t believe it! Show me your hands!Phalicia gripped the edge of the table, on the verge of tears

Shelton pursed his lips and slowly lifted his hands

Phalicia’s breath caught

His hands were swollen and covered in bruises, every knuckle scraped and scabbed over

She bit her lip, and tears burst forth as she asked in a quivering voice, They hit you, didn’t they?” 

Shelton couldn’t bear to see her cry and reached out right away

Phalicia leaned in 

The guard behind them snapped, No physical contact!” 

Phalicia froze, staring at the hand so close she could feel the warmth from

But she couldn’t get any closer. She retreated to her seat, tears streaming down as she looked at Shelton

The prison was a den of all kinds of people

They seemed to follow the rules during the day, but no one knew what could happen after lightsout

Shelton had always been physically weak. He was into literature as a kid, and then got into business later. He’d never get involved in fights or violence

If it hadn’t been for herIf he hadn’t done it for her… 

Phalicia’s hands were shaking
