In the corridor, they walked past Anna who was late. Lowering Era's head subconsciously, Anna still
recognized her.
'Era? Why was she here?' Perplexed, Anna walked into the classroom. The fat professor was pounding
on the desk to keep the students quiet.
After finding an empty seat, Anna asked a girl beside her quietly, "what are you talking about?"
"Angie."
"Angie?"
"Oh, I forgot you were new here. She is the first talented girl who entered the entrance exam of Elton.
She has just been taken away by the police." The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled contemptuously.
Angie? 'Era, you bitch! You thought you changed your name and I didn't recognize you? The talented
girl who was the first to take the examination to be Elton! Pooh! I knew well about herself.
The top position on the list was either bribery or fraud!
It was a good news. Era, you just wait to get out of Elton.'
Said Anna with a sinister smile.
Then she said in a surprising tone, "Angie, a talented girl? How is that possible? I know her. Her name
is Era Ling. She is just an average minded person."
In the office of the police station, Sam sat on the chair with his head held high. He looked at Era
coming in through the window.
"Yes, it's her." He stood up, glanced at the thin man next to him, and said, "Officer Liao, you must
punish this shameless bitch seriously. In addition, I don't want too many people to know about this
case. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye. Don't worry. I understand what you mean." The thin man nodded with a flattering smile.
"Okay. Contact my lawyer if you have any problem. It's not appropriate for me to deal with it in person.
He will handle it for me."
Finishing his words, Sam looked at Era outside the door again and laughed arrogantly.
If he was in C City, he could just be a passerby. But he is a local bully in S City.
He thought, 'how dare you challenge me? You are looking for death.'
For no reason, Era was taken to the police station under the charge of intentional injury and robbery.
She tried to explain again and again, but no one listened.
She didn't realize what was going on until Sam proudly walked past her.
Was she really going to jail?
In the dark detention house, Era curled up in a corner, her face buried between her legs. She didn't
want to move at all.
A moment ago, the police asked her family address, but she said she didn't.
She thought that her father definitely didn't want to recognize her because of her poor look. If she really
called Grace, it was very likely that she would say some false words about her... However, it couldn't be
kept secret. When she was brought here by the police, Anna saw... If she had told family about it, father
would have pretended not to know...
"Okay." She mumbled to herself. "Maybe it is not a bad thing that I have nothing to do with them any
more..." Tears brimmed in her eyes.
At that moment, she thought of Jacob. She knew that he could save her and he would also save her.
Even though he treated her as a pet, bossy as he was, he didn't want his own pet to be locked in
someone else's cage.
She thought about it with self mockery. She was about to laugh it off, but unexpectedly, her heart was
suddenly stung.
So she didn't say anything.
In fact, she didn't have his contact information either.
She had been thinking about how to get rid of him, which was not only in the past, but now was even
worse. Because she was afraid that his domineering figure would settle in her small heart. At that time,
she would really enter the doomed land!
When a waiter brought lunch to her, Era didn't take a look at it. She was still immersed in her own
thoughts. Half an hour later, the food was taken away.
Time passed in the dim space. Era curled up in the corner and didn't move a little.
It was not until dusk that the iron gate was opened with a bang. "Angie, come out, you're on bail."
Dazedly, she walked out of the detention room and saw a tall and handsome man smiling at her in the
sunlight. Even though he was wearing glasses, he looked handsome and elegant!
Era frowned in confusion. It was the "romantic encounter" in the bar!
It can't be true! This is unbelievable! How did he know that she was in trouble? Then it just happened
as if rain drops from time to time.
Don't tell her that falling in love at first sight, it is a more illusory fairy tale than the story of white snow
and seven short people.
"Hey, we meet again." Jay saw that she was just looking at him with graceful eyebrows, but did not say
anything. She smiled and hurriedly greeted him.
"Why are you here?" Era asked straightforward. She had been very unlucky recently. It was hard for
her to believe that she would be the lucky one to be saved by a handsome man whom she only met
once.
"You will know when we get out." He raised his eyebrows. Then, he turned around and said to a tall,
thin man behind him, "I'll keep my eyes on the case and hope you can find out the truth as soon as
possible."
"Yes, yes..." Officer Liao immediately bowed and scraped. "Mr. Lin, you can rest assured that we will
never let go of a bad person, and we will never wrongly accuse a good person."
"That's good." Jay nodded and pointed to a serious man, "this is Clark Chen, he's her lawyer. He will be
responsible for all her lawsuits."
Clark Chen? Is it the famous lawyer who has fought nearly 100 lawsuits in the past five years and lost
none of them? Officer Liao was in a cold sweat on his forehead.
He had thought that the little girl was a solitary girl and had no one to depend on, so he was able to
help the brother-in-law of the secretary general of the government. He didn't think of that her backer
was Jay Lin, the CEO of the mysterious financial group in China Headquarter of the Imperial Group. He
was a distinguished guest in S City and should not be offended. Now here came the first lawyer! Damn
it! This time, he was going to raise a stone to hit his own foot.
Outside the police station, in a lengthened luxury commercial vehicle, Jacob was leaning against the
back seat leisurely, tasting a glass of excellent red wine.
He glanced around and saw two men and a woman walking out of the police station. After only one
day, he actually missed the little woman!
"Everything goes well." Jay opened the back door for Era and said to Jacob. At this moment, Clark
Chen got on another car.
"Really?" Jacob snorted with dissatisfaction and said, "Jay, when did you become so inefficient?"
"Haha..." Jay raised his eyebrows and walked directly to his car. He opened the door and took the
passenger seat. "Jacob, this is not a matter of efficiency, but art of action. Don't be in a hurry if you
want to get things done beautifully without leaving any future trouble."
"Well, let's see how you will perform 'life is worse than death'." He stretched out his arms and held Era.
