"What happened?"
"Things are a bit complicated, and I can't tell you clearly now."
Trixie wanted to be perfunctory, but he didn't expect Daryl to take off his apron directly, got him and
Kinsley a coat, and was ready to leave.
"Let’s send Kinsley to Mom, I'll go with you because I just want to make sure you're safe."
Seeing Daryl's determination to be with her, Trixie had no choice but to agree. After sending Kinsley to
her mother-in-law, Daryl drove to Jessa's house with Trixie.
They reached rush hour because people had just finished working that causes a traffic jam, so Trixie
simply took an advantage of this time to explain the reason to Daryl.
"What do they think as husband and wife? Even if they want to find excitement, they don't have to use
their privacy as a bargaining chip! If they don't call the police, they can only admit that they are unlucky.
800,000 is not a small amount. Did they pay for their freedom?"
"This is not clear, Jessa didn't tell me."
Listening to Daryl's tone, it seemed that he was not interested in the club, but he was only concerned
about Rick and Jessa. His attitude made Trixie doubt him more. Perhaps Daryl really had nothing to do
with that club.
"By the way, honey, listening to you earlier, Jessa didn't seem to be as detailed as what you said. How
do you know the conditions of the club so well?"
"I..."
"Have you checked it?"
Daryl hit the nail on Trixie's head. So, Trixie couldn't refute a word. She didn't know how to explain it. If
she admitted that she had checked it, Daryl may suspicious about her, but if she didn't admit it, Trixie
was afraid if Daryl didn't believe her.
After all, Daryl had already spoken out, which proved that he had almost guessed. She saw Trixie did
not answer for a long time, Daryl sighed very helplessly.
"Honey, let me ask you this, and I don't want to say it again. I want to know, what did I do wrong, which
made you always suspect me of cheating?"
Trixie bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and squeezed out two words from her mouth, "A lot."
"Is it still because of Hailey?"
"No, she is not."
After that, there were another few minutes of silence. The blocked road was cleared, and Daryl started
the car again.
Trixie sat in the back row, unable to see the mood on his face. She could only guess from Daryl's
silence that his mood was definitely not very good.
"Honey."
After a few minutes, Daryl suddenly opens his mouth, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you because I
was worried that you would be angry. Whether it was Natalie or Hailey, I didn't handle it properly. I'm
sorry."
He said two words of "I'm sorry" to Trixie in a row. His sincere attitude made Trixie calmed her anger.
When they arrived at Jessa and Rick's house, they saw Jessa sitting on the sofa crying. As soon as
they entered the door, Trixie hurriedly went to comfort her.
Daryl handed Rick a cigarette. "How is it? You haven't called the police yet?"
"No."
Rick took the cigarette. Obviously, he was depressed. He did not look as high-spirited as before.
"The man with the last name Andrews said that we don't dare ourselves to call the police. If we call the
police, he would immediately release the video."
"Andrews's is the last name?"
"Yes, it's Mike Andrews."
Hearing the name, Daryl was silent for a moment and then said, "Then you can write back to him and
promise to give him money, but you have to meet and trade. You don't have to be afraid that he won't
come out. 800,000 is not a small amount. Since he dares to do this, it must be for money."
"What about after he comes out?"
"Don't take more when you go, just take 50,000. If he asks, he will surely say that he is raising the
money. He will arrive in about ten minutes and find a way to drag it for ten minutes. Trixie and I will help
you call the police."
Rick wanted to think, this method is feasible. So, he nodded hard and patted Daryl on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Daryl. I owe you a favor."
Rick and Daryl went to the balcony to discuss carefully what to do. Trixie sat on the sofa with Jessa
and continued to comfort her.
"Just as Daryl said just now, you and Rick asked him to come out and shackle him with rope. I will go to
the police with Daryl, which is safer."
"Okay, I'll discuss about this with Rick when he comes back later. If I can do it, I'll call that boy
tomorrow!"
Looking at Jessa's mess, Trixie suddenly felt lucky.
She is glad that she didn't have the brain to find someone to get a fake marriage certificate or to join
the club even if she's charismatic. Otherwise, she's afraid it would be more difficult than Jessa in the
end.
"By the way, sister, it seems that it's not just Mike Andrews behind it, but also a woman."
"Woman?"
Trixie frowned. She didn't hear Mike mention this.
"Yes, that woman sounds as if she is not very old. I trusted her too much before and revealed too much
information to her. She heard that I don't have much to do with you and threatened me with Little John.
She used me to find a way to let you join the club with your husband. I'm really sorry for my sister. I
almost hurt you!"
Jessa fell on Trixie's shoulder and cried badly, but Trixie became interested in the woman that she said.
"Jessa, have you seen that woman?"
"I haven't seen her. I don't know her."
"Then how do you know she threatened you with Little John?"
When she mentioned this, Jessa was furious. "I went to school to pick up Little John that day, but the
teacher said that Little John had been picked up. The woman claimed to be Little John's aunt, who
pretended to helped me pick up Little John. She was dressed quite well in small suit and trousers. The
main reason is that Little John also went with her. The teacher thought it was really Little John's aunt
and let her go. As a result, I had just left the school gate to call the police, she suddenly called me,
saying that Little John was with her and asked me to do as she said."
"And then?"
"Rick was not at home for two days. I lost Little John, and I didn't dare to tell him. I had to do what the
woman said. By the way, sister, the woman seems to know you and told me by your name and forced
me to advise you to join the club."
She remembered something, Trixie suddenly thought of the afternoon tea she had with Jessa before,
and she had been absent-minded. It seemed that that was the reason.
"She let Little John go after we went back that day?"
"Yes. At that time, I was too scared to call the police."
At that time, Trixie really couldn't think of any woman who could let her take such a big risk to force
Jessa to persuade herself to join the club. Moreover, Jessa said that the woman was still from the club.
If joining the club would conflict with herself, then perhaps it was only Erin. But why did she do it? Trixie
did not drive her away but she let her stay in the company to work. She had also married Frank. What
made her dissatisfied?
Was she crazy enough to use a child to threaten?! Trixie's mind was in a mess.. She really couldn't
understand Erin's motive to do this kind of thing.
