Chapter 66
Levi is still in jail, and his lawyer and Naomi's league of elite lawyers can't do anything about it. He knew that Naomi already tried to bribe officials to get him out but still nothing. They were all tight-lipped about why they won't accept the bribe. All they said is that they have to stick with the law.
Every time he looks at the walls around him, the bars that separate him from freedom, he cries. Few months ago, he was just a normal guy. He was just one of those New York businessmen. And now, he's waiting for trial.
