Molly Carter sat on the other side of the glass wall. She didn’t move. A mocking smile came from the corner of her mouth. “Really? Then you have to come out first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the police saw me excited, they held me down and warned me, “Don’t move!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was held down by the police and couldn’t move. Molly Carter pretended, “Please, June Carter knows she made a mistake. Don’t embarrass her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, I sat in a chair but the policeman stood behind me. He was a step away from me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Molly Carter, I said I don’t want to be Mrs. Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My voice softened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was even thinking that as long as Molly Carter withdrew the lawsuit, maybe the matter would be settled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter certainly knew what I thought. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She sat outside and again put on a pitiful look. “June Carter, we are sisters and I cherish this friendship of sisters most. But you’ve done bad things to me over and over again. Now the family has been very disappointed with you. I’m afraid that if I’m soft-hearted, I’ll have an accident and our parents and grandma will not be able to stand it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She mentioned grandma. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I seemed to have found a way to save myself! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Does grandma know about this?” I asked her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter seemed to have no idea that I would ask this and nodded quickly, “She knows. Last time she didn’t know. I and Sean helped you hide the past. But this time things can not be concealed and the old people of both families know it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Listening to Molly Carter, I just wanted to sneer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did she hide it for me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It must have been Sean Jessop who wanted to hide it last time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This time it was obvious that Molly Carter had not told him beforehand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had to say Molly Carter was cruel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If it happened only once, Sherry Carter and James Jessop might feel something else. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the second time who would believe that I was innocent? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter’s words assured me that she would not help me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t talk to her much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turned and went back to the prison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the subsequent investigation, I heard that the police used a lie detector to detect the workers who identified me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As a result, he did not lie. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A month’s investigation was soon over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although I refused Daniell Cook, he helped me find a lawyer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But because of the worker’s testimony and the result of the lie detector, I stood in the dock and listened to the case. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop and Molly Carter sat in the hearing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How familiar the process was. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew I couldn’t turn the case over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the end of the first trial, I lost. The judge announced that I had been sentenced for another six months. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was taken away from the interrogation hall by the prison guards, I felt as if I had returned two years ago. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at the handcuffs on my hands and even thought that if I went in again this time, I might not be as lucky as I was last time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I would die in it! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this moment, my heart suddenly fell into infinite panic! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My limbs were trembling all the time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No… Don’t…” I murmured and looked up. I saw Sean Jessop and Molly Carter not far ahead of me! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Suddenly I ran up and rushed to Sean Jessop like crazy! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knelt in front of him and grabbed his trouser legs and begged, “President Jessop, I didn’t harm her. I didn’t do anything. I beg you to believe me once. As long as you withdraw your lawsuit, I promise that I will never return to York in my life and I will never appear before you in my life!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was not such a spineless person. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The terrible memories of the last time I was in prison and the panic of getting back into prison made me totally unable to control myself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this moment, all my cowardice broke out! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman came up quickly and tried to pull me away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I clung to Sean Jessop’s leg and begged him, “President Jessop, I promise. Please withdraw your lawsuit. I’ve lost a child in prison. I don’t want to go in again. I beg you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know what I was talking about. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when I said this, I saw Sean Jessop’s pupil shrink violently. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked hesitant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter seemed to have noticed. She took him in her arms and said, “Sean, if you release June Carter again, I’m really afraid I won’t be so lucky next time…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Sean Jessop lifted his foot and threw me away! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police seized the opportunity to hold me down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was taken away by the police. I looked back at Sean Jessop in despair. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got back to the detention center, I seemed to be ill. I trembled all the time. I was scared as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the past, I did not like to cry. But these days, tears always fell unconsciously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t eat or drink. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In my opinion, it was better to die here than to go back to that prison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had a strong feeling that if I went back, I would not be able to come out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I lingered on the verge of despair for three days, the police came and told me, “June Carter, you can leave.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought something was wrong with my ears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at the police and confirmed, “What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t have the strength to speak much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You can go out.” The policeman said again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I am not guilty!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was so excited! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when I wanted to stand up, I fell down heavily! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman looked at me with disgust and mockery. “Are you not guilty? It’s your sister who thinks you’re pathetic withdraew the lawsuit!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nobody believed me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I was still very excited. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because I didn’t have to go back to prison anymore. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman waited for me to go out but because I didn’t eat or drink for three days, I didn’t have any strength and it was difficult to stand up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, the police almost dragged me out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I arrived at the gate of the detention house, I saw only a familiar car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t realize that the person who came to pick me up was Sean Jessop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I came out, the police threw away my hand like a pestilence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because of the loss of fulcrum, I fell to the ground as a whole. I supported myself with my hands but my arms were weak and I fell heavily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My forehead knocked on the cement floor and it seemed to have broken skin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even so, I was very happy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop watched as I lay on the ground giggling with a complex look on his handsome face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he thought I was crazy and would leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But he came to me, picked me up and walked to his car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His movements were so light that I even felt a little gentle. I looked at him in his arms. I leaned on his powerful chest and said two words with great strength, “Thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, tears fell unconsciously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know if it was my illusion or I was too scared in the detention house. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought Sean Jessop’s eyes were no longer cold but warm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He put me in the co-driver, fastened my seat belt and then went to the driver’s seat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop took me to the villa. A servant had cooked my meal for me. I couldn’t eat it myself. The servant gave me some porridge and I fell asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
