Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

Chapter 182 Elsie’s Pain

“Elsie is now inside the detention centre, and I can’t go out to save her right now. Vanessa, I know you

care about her a lot. And now that you are on good terms with Robert and Georgia, you can ask them

to do you a favour and let Elsie out.”

As Alfred said, Vanessa asked anxiously.

“What’s happening? Why is Elsie at the detention centre?”

“I don’t know the exact reason. I only know that she beat someone up on the street, a couple if not

mistaken. I have important at hand right now and unable to help her. I can only trouble you to get Elsie

out.”

Alfred hung up the phone after sending the address of the detention centre where Elsie was.

Alfred was gloomy looking at the list of men that Elsie had helped him this time. In the next second, he

asked his henchman.

“How many of these men have been caught?”

“Sir, five men have already been captured and are now being held inside dark room. Are you going to

interrogate them yourself?”

Alfred nodded.

“Don’t let them move now. I’ll come over to interrogate them myself at midnight.”

After talking to his henchman, Alfred walked out of the study and walked up to Rachel the next second.

“Didn’t we talk about trying on wedding dresses before? Master Liszt happens to be at the wedding

dress shop and you can only meet him today. Let me take you to see Master Liszt.”

Rachel was delighted after Alfred said this.

Her relationship with Alfred had been progressing rapidly for a while. This man had started to love and

care for her. Rachel felt that all her patience and dedication had been rewarded.

She stood up, then rushed over and hugged Alfred tightly.

“Alfred, thank you for choosing me in the end. I’ll definitely be your most virtuous wife, and we’ll be the

happiest couple in the world.”

The villa was located in the city centre. The two went to the car park, and after driving for a while, their This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

car pulled up outside the wedding studio.

As soon as Rachel and Alfred got out of the car, they met Vanessa and Georgia, who just walked out.

Rachel looked nervously at Alfred. However, Alfred held Rachel’s hand tightly.

“Why stopped? Aren’t you happy to see my ex-wife? I’m already with you now. You don’t have to care

too much about the people from the past.”

Hearing such a reply from Alfred, Rachel only then relaxed.

She grabbed Alfred’s arm and walked towards Vanessa.

“Miss Cooke, you found your new love so soon and now choosing a new wedding dress again? Are

you going to expose your racy video at the wedding hall again? Wanting to be a disgraced bride

again?”

Rachel laughed mockingly. She wanted to ridicule Georgia too, but Rachel could only withdraw the

words in her heart when seeing Georgia and Robert together.

She was not in a position to offend the Simpson family yet.

“Miss Scott, not everyone who comes to the wedding studio is here to pick a wedding dress. If your

thoughts are so simple and straightforward, I suggest you to go back and study for a few more years.

Your compulsory education is so poor that not even comparable to a primary school student.”

Rachel’s face was distorted with rage as Vanessa said this. She hated to raise her hand to slap

Vanessa.

Georgia satirized icily at the side.

“Miss Scott, please take note of your situation. If you dare to make a move, I’ll immediately have my

bodyguards to kick you out.”

Previously, Georgia wouldn’t have such confidence. But now, with Robert by her side, she knew that

this man would protect her and her friend.

She had the guts to say that, even if it was because of Robert, it was sweet too.

Rachel restrained her hands as she slowly lowered her arms. Then, she smiled sarcastically at

Vanessa.

“Miss Cooke, I’m sorry. I thought most of the people who came here were the ones who chose their

wedding dresses, and the others were just accompanying them here. It seems that you’re the one who

accompanies your best friend. I was wrong about you. But, I came here today to choose my wedding

dress. Alfred told me that he would have the world’s top wedding dress designer, Master Liszt, design

my wedding dress. Poor you when you got married with Alfred, you could only pick a random off-the-

rack wedding dress. Those all might be the second-hand goods worn by others too. That’s so pity…

Isn’t that right, Alfred?”

Alfred looked at Vanessa in front of him and agreed with a soft grunt, making Rachel feel satisfied. She

then spoke again mockingly.

“You can tell whether a man is attentive to you or not from his attitude towards you, at least from the

way he picks a wedding dress. Miss Cooke, it’s right for you to leave. Although you were abandoned,

I’m grateful that you didn’t pester us.”

Vanessa could only smile after being mocked like this. However, Georgia couldn’t help herself and

wanted to speak up, but Vanessa grabbed Georgia’s hand.

Rachel then proudly walked in, holding Alfred’s hand.

“Why did you let her humiliate you like that?”

Georgia asked angrily while Vanessa just smiled faintly beside her.

“Georgia, Alfred had a love-hate relationship with me, and I know the two of us have no future. In fact,

neither Rachel has. I know Alfred well. From the way he looks at Rachel, I don’t know whether I should

pity Rachel or Alfred. I don’t even know what they are up to…”

Vanessa sighed sadly as she grabbed Georgia’s hand and then spoke to Robert.

“I’ll just go to see Elsie alone. You guys no need to come along and just take Annie home.”

Vanessa told Georgia and Robert after knowing the news that Elsie was at the detention centre.

Of course Robert was willing to help Elsie. She was just being held in the detention centre. So, bringing

a lawyer and paying the bail fee could get her out then.

The two debated whether they should go along or not when they walked out just now, but they

happened to meet Alfred and Rachel walking over, which stopped the discussion.

Georgia immediately shook her head.

“It’s late already. I’m not at ease letting you go alone. I’ll accompany you over to bring Elsie back. And

we don’t know exactly what she was encountered. Let’s go together, okay?”

Robert laughed at the side.

“I’ll let the bodyguard accompany you over. The two of you must have something to talk, and you might

feel uncomfortable with me being around. I’ll just leave then. Is that good?”

Robert’s words made Vanessa felt embarrassed, while Georgia had nodded her head.

“Robert will just go back first. The two of us will go to see Elsie, and then take Annie to meet Elsie. She

hasn’t seen Elsie for a long time. Isn’t that good?”

Annie spoke up excitedly beside Georgia.

“Mummy, let me go and meet Elsie too. It’s been so many days and she’ll definitely miss me, wanting to

see me too.”

Vanessa nodded helplessly as the two sides reached an agreement.

Robert left in a car alone, while Georgia, Vanessa, and Annie took a vehicle to the detention centre.

It took about 40 minutes for them to reached the detention centre where Elsie was being held.

By this time, the lawyer had already arrived, and he had paid the bail fee to get Elsie out.

Elsie was waiting inside the lobby for them to arrive. Once she saw Georgia and Vanessa walking over,

Elsie smiled embarrassedly.

“Sorry for troubling you guys today.”

“Stop talking. Are you hungry? Let’s take you to dinner first. After that, you can tell us what’s going on

today, okay?”

Elsie could already feel her stomach rumbling with hunger, and she nodded excitedly.

“I’ve been cooped up for hours, and I’m starving now. Come on, let’s go for a snack.”

The few people drove to a nearby restaurant with good reviews. After ordering their food, Vanessa

asked Elsie.

“You can leave it out if you don’t want to tell me, but I still want to ask, why did you fight? I heard that

you were beating up a couple. What was that all about?”

Elsie sneered, sipping a glass of juice with an indignant look.

“Vanessa, Georgia, I can tell you guys. But with Annie around, I’m afraid that it won’t be good for such

a young child to hear it.”

“Something inappropriate for children?”

Georgia asked from the side, and Vanessa nodded.

“Mummy, what do you mean it’s inappropriate for children? Can’t I listen you guys talking?”

“Yes. There’s something you can’t understand now, but instead it will give you fear. Just like when you

watch a horror movie, you will have nightmares at night. So can you put on your headset to listen to

music and let mummy and Elsie have a chat?”

Annie curled her lips.

“Adults are such a nuisance. But, there’s nothing wrong with listening music too. Give me the

headphones.”

Georgia couldn’t help but laugh at Annie’s haughty tone.

In fact, Annie was afraid of watching horror movies and having nightmares. So, using this as an

excuse, Annie naturally hated to put on her headphones right away and determined not to listen to

them discussing those scary things.

After Annie had put on her headphones, listening to music, Elsie then spoke up.

“Do you guys know who that couple is? That man was the director of my orphanage, named Chase

Lawson. He was a hypocrite and had bullied so many girls and even boys. While the woman grew up

with us in the orphanage, named Millie Lawson, was a big sister a few years older than me. She was

tall and strong, and always bullied us back then. She liked to bully those weak-looking boys and girls.

Of course, she also bullied me many times. And even when I was about to turn into a teenager and

ready to escape, she snitched on me about my escape plan. I was then caught and later sold to those

filthy places. I had a hard time for years before I managed to escape.”

“So, I have always harboured a grudge against the director and her. I have never seen them all these

years, until today. After beating them up, I realized that they had become a couple. Do you think it’s

funny? These two hypocrite are now actually married to each other. I don’t even know if these two

people were still bullying other boys and girls in the orphanage. I didn’t think that much. I wanted to

beat them up when I first saw them. I kept my cool initially, thinking that hitting someone else might

cause you guys trouble. But that woman recognized me, and she took the initiative to greet me. She

even taunted me, asking my price for one day.”

“I just couldn’t resist and fought with them in the mall. I started it, and there were cameras inside the

mall. I just don’t get it, how the hell the two guys couldn’t beat me. So, I ended up inside the detention

centre… I’m sorry for the trouble I cause you guys.”

Vanessa and Georgia hurriedly shook their heads.

“It’s fine. You hit them well! This kind of person deserves to be beaten.”

Vanessa felt heartbroken while Georgia said this.

“No need to apologize to us. How could this be a trouble to us? If I wasn’t so timid and not strong

enough, I should have given you a hand and taught this pair of filthy couple a good lesson.”

Elsie revealed a big smile after Georgia and Vanessa said that.

“Thank you for your understanding. I’m not that noble, but I felt heartbroken if these two people are still

torturing the kids. I feel sad whenever I recall the life I lived as a child. When I was locked up at the

detention centre, I suddenly had a thought of exposing their crimes to the world. If these two are still

bullying the children in the orphanage, I think they should be put in jail to receive punishment. But, I

don’t have the ability to do that and I feel useless.”

Right after Elsie said this, Vanessa spoke up.

“It’s a good thing that you think like that, but, how can there be no way out? I’ll get someone to

investigate it, and what about Georgia? It’s not like you don’t know who Georgia’s boyfriend is.

Although it’s not good to bother others, it’s a good thing to help people. It’s a right thing to get people

working together and dealing with the bad guys.”

In Vanessa’s mind, she felt that Elsie’s pain came from the humiliation she had suffered in her

childhood.

If these people who had hurt Elsie got their revenge, perhaps Elsie would become much happier.

Vanessa would be willing to let Elsie do such good things.

It had been so hard for Elsie to escape her past life. She was now living without a purpose, having a

chaotic life. Vanessa hoped that Elsie became a person with goals, living a kind and happy life.

“Can I really get him to help?”

Elsie looked at Georgia expectantly, while Georgia smiled and nodded.

“Of course you can get him to help. He’s very capable. Haven’t you seen the news about me? Just

today, I was cleared of the car accident and plagiarism charges. I’ve been living with this burden of guilt

for the past six years and even went to jail for six years. Look, I’ve come this far, why can’t you have

faith too?”

“It’s right that you want the sinners who have bullied you to be brought to justice. He will be willing to

help. I knew some friends and I can introduce them to you.”

Elsie was so happy with this meal. She ended up eating three bowls of rice, and she was beaming all

the time.

From the moment Elsie met Vanessa and Georgia, she felt that her life had taken a new path.

She hadn’t had much education.

But this kind of life, where she didn’t have to please men on the bed to get money for food, was a

relaxing and pleasurable one.

And by now, she could even think of ways to punish the evil people who had hurt her, which had been

Elsie’s wish as a child.

By this moment, Elsie’s dream had come true.
