Chapter 4726

Author: Lord Leaf
“Felons?”

Elaine was shocked when she heard this word and hurriedly said, “Mr. White, can you think of a way so that I can be sent to another detention center instead? I’m just a helpless old lady, so how am I going to fight those felons?! I’ll definitely get beaten to death when the time comes...”

Jakel said helplessly, “Sorry, Madam Elaine, but this is the operating rule of the New York judicial system. Judging by the current alleged crime that you’re charged with, Bedford Hills Correctional Facility is the only place that you can be sent to. This is not something I can deal with. I’m a lawyer, and I want to do things within the legal framework, not undermine the legal framework.”

Elaine suddenly panicked and then spoke up as she asked, “Mr. White, is there a prison tyrant in the prison in the United States? It’s the kind of person who holds the most power in the prison and bullies anyone she catches.”

“Well...” Jakel said embarrassedly, “As far as I know, there should be such

Bedford Hills Correctional Facility is only for women who have already been sentenced of a crime it is not a detention facility for people who have not been convicted...she would be going to Rikers Island Correctional Facility NOT Bedford Hills

    There was a very small single bed on the left and right in this semi-open space.At this time, the inmates inside were resting. Some of them were lying on the bed, and some were sitting at the head of the bed talking to others. When the group of inmates heard the prison guard yelling, they slowly got up and lined up in the inner part of the corridor in the middle. The prison guards did not rush to open the gate at this time. Instead, they counted the number of people inside. After confirming that everyone had lined up, he then said over the walkie-talkie, “Open the gate of Cell No. 12.”As soon as his voice fell, the heavy iron grill gate opened automatically. The two prison guards with batons took the lead and walked in first while the other two guards escorted Elaine and followed behind.After entering, Elaine was brought to a group of female inmates directly by the prison guards.This group of female inmates was all of different races, and their ages ranged from eighteen t

    Elaine had completely misunderstood the logic of survival in American prisons.Here, the other inmates would certainly bully you to death if you were truly innocent, but if you were a felon, especially if you were a felon with a background, the other inmates here might not necessarily show you great respect, but at the very least, they would know that you were not to be messed with, so they would try to stay away from you as much as possible.These people would definitely have stayed away from her if Elaine had admitted that she was a drug dealer.After all, drug dealers were synonymous with outlaws in the United States, and drug dealers would never act alone. There would always be a ruthless and powerful organization supporting them. However, Elaine had exposed the truth when she was nervous because she was afraid that people would truly misunderstand her and think that she was a drug dealer.This was also the reason why the red-haired woman had slapped her without any hesitatio

    When Chloe saw that Elaine’s face had swelled up, she laughed contemptuously and said, “Remember that I’m just teaching you a slight lesson today. If I don’t see a cigarette tomorrow, you will have to bear the consequences on your own, then!”Having said that, she instructed a woman behind her, “Jayne, go and get a basin of water!”The woman called Jayne ran to the bathroom immediately and quickly came back with a basin full of water.Chloe looked at Elaine and said coldly, “Sorry, you can only sleep on the floor today.”Having said that, she signaled to Jayne. Jayne was not a good person either. She looked at Elaine playfully before pouring the basin of water directly over her bed. This time, it was not just the bedding that Elaine received that was soaked with water but even the pillows and mattress were unusable.Elaine did not dare to say anything let alone resist. So, she could only look at her bed that was dripping with water submissively with immense hatred and regret i

    All the inmates in the whole cell block were only enjoying the show, and no one wanted to say a word of justice for Elaine. So, Elaine could only clench her teeth and nod.Although Elaine felt very resentful, she did not dare to disobey Chloe. After all, she had no choice but to concede since she was in a disadvantageous position. What’s more, she felt even more helpless because she was in a foreign country now and had no one to rely on. Fortunately, Elaine could still adapt to the situation, and she could only submit and give in when she saw that she could not afford to offend Chloe.When Chloe saw that Elaine had swallowed all the toothpaste in her mouth, she smiled contemptuously and asked coldly, “Did the toothpaste just now help you recall how to give someone a foot massage?”Elaine hurriedly nodded repeatedly and said, “I remember... I remember...”Chloe snorted and scolded, “Since you already remember how to do it, why aren’t you getting a basin of water to wash my feet

    Chloe pulled her foot out of the warm water and kicked Elaine’s chest as she said coldly, “Old lady, you need to figure out your place here. When you’re here, you only have one option, and that is to obey what I say. Otherwise, I have ten thousand ways to deal with you. Do you understand me?!” Elaine already had a broken rib. After getting kicked like this, even though Chloe did not hit her broken rib, the pain caused Elaine to tear.Elaine could not help but look at the other inmates as she hoped that someone would step forward to administer justice for her or even plead with Chloe on her behalf. However, she did not expect that everyone in the entire prison cell, including the Oskian girl who had spoken to her and translated for her just now, was only watching as she was ridiculed. So, she could only nod as she sobbed and cried out, “I understand... I understand...”Chloe sneered and then looked at the time as she spoke up, “It just so happens that there are still four hours left

    Elaine knew that many bad people were colluding in this place, and it was not the right time for her to reason with this American prison guard. So, Elaine hastily asked her, “Can I call my family now?”“Yes.” Jacelyn said lightly, “It will be your unwinding time after dinner. You can use your ID card to call your family then.”Having said that, she secretly slipped a piece of paper into Elaine’s hand and whispered, “This is my younger sister’s phone number. You can contact her if you want to buy cigarettes.”She could not wait to call Charlie right now and cry so that she could let Charlie do everything he could to save her.However, if she wanted to call home, she would have to wait until dinner time was over and everyone was out on the field. So, Elaine could only follow the large group to the dining hall.When Elaine was in the dining hall, she could only hold her dinner plate and forcefully bring her dinner plate to an unoccupied corner.After she had sat down, Chloe sudden

    Elaine was slightly relieved when she heard this.Two thousand US dollars was indeed not a small sum if it were to be converted into Oskian dollars, but Elaine believed in her son-in-law’s ability to make money.After all, Charlie could usually earn several million Oskian dollars whenever he went out to read Feng Shui for others. This would be converted into hundreds of thousands of US dollars which would be enough for her to live a worry-free life in prison for a long time.As she thought of this, she hurriedly said to Chloe, “Okay! I’ll call my son-in-law after dinner as long as you can keep your promise!”“Okay!” Chloe nodded in great satisfaction.She had been in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for so long, but she had never met an inmate with such great financial strength before. She had originally planned to get someone to buy a cigarette from Jacelyn so that she would also receive fifty US dollars in addition to the cigarette.And just now, Jacelyn had told her in pr

    Elaine sobbed uncontrollably over the phone.She told Charlie everything from how Chloe had beaten her up, forced her to massage the feet of eight people, and how she was even being jointly blackmailed by Chloe and Jacelyn. After Elaine had told Charlie everything, she felt even more angry and aggrieved as she cried and said, “My dear son-in-law, they will probably beat me up badly tomorrow if you don’t buy two cigarettes from the prison guard...”Charlie knew that the situation in the prisons in the United States would be terrible, but he did not expect that it would be so terrible. He had originally hoped that Elaine would naturally be able to receive some practical prison education in the prison in the United States, but it seemed as though this reality education was a little too cruel based on Elaine’s description.So, he said to Elaine, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll ask my client to help me buy the cigarettes.”Elaine heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “By the way, my dea

    However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e

    The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi

    And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J

    Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

    Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

    As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside

    Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

    Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott

    Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
