Chapter 513

Author: Deer Woods
Amid his despair, Gideon finally caught a faint glimpse of light.

He followed the officers out, struggling to walk beneath the strange, curious stares of the other detainees.

His eldest sister had come to pick him up from the detention center.

The moment their eyes met, Gideon lowered his head in shame. He was so mortified that he wished he could dig a hole and disappear.

Daphne had already learned the full story. She also knew that everyone had been hauled away in their swimsuits, so she ha

    By now, passersby outside the restaurant had noticed the commotion and gathered to watch.Before Elaine could finish speaking, Lucille stepped forward and fixed her with such a sharp glare that Elaine instinctively recoiled."Ms. Greenfeld, I understand that a mother would sympathize with her daughter and niece, but I will not tolerate you throwing baseless accusations at me without a shred of proof."Rayne and Michelle ended up in that detention center because they threw a private party and openly used drugs. What does any of that have to do with me? Was I the one holding them down and forcing them to snort drugs?"This has already made headlines across Coasthaven. Everyone in the city knows about it, and countless photos from the scene have circulated online. Tell me, exactly which eye of yours saw me anywhere near that party?"And one more thing. You claim the two of them were abused inside the detention center, so you simply assume I orchestrated it? Do you have any idea how m

    The world worked in strange ways sometimes, seeming smallest at the worst possible moments. The people you least wanted to see always seemed to be the ones you kept crossing paths with.The moment their eyes met, everyone in the group grew wary, their expressions turning guarded at once.At the same time, Joanne and Milena instinctively stepped in front of Lily's stroller, as though ready to shield her from any harm the group across from them might pose.Standing behind her two mothers, Lucille felt a wave of quiet reflection wash over her.By blood, Milena had no connection to Lily at all, while everyone across from them, aside from Wanda, was one of Lily's actual blood relatives. And yet, despite knowing Lily for only a short time, Milena had already come to love her wholeheartedly, stepping forward to protect her without a second thought.Meanwhile, the woman across from them, Lily's grandmother in name, had never once looked at her with even a shred of kindness or shown her th

    Lucille stood in the doorway, quietly watching the scene unfold as an unfamiliar feeling stirred faintly in her chest.Suddenly, two messages popped up in quick succession on Telegram, an app she had not used in a long time.Lucille pulled out her phone, and the moment she saw they were from Daphne, her expression tightened.Telegram had been her main means of communication back when she worked at the Prescott Group, and she had simply forgotten to uninstall it afterward.She had blocked Daphne on WhatsApp long ago, but apparently, the woman had found another way to reach her through this old channel.Lucille's irritation rose as she read Daphne's message. When she opened the video and saw Michelle and Rayne, freshly released, sobbing in Elaine's arms while Wanda stood nearby, her expression darkened further.The last time Rayne and Michelle had been released, Wanda had pulled strings behind the scenes. It seemed she had done the same thing again, using the right connections to g

    Gideon received the video from Daphne. As he watched the footage of the women collapsed in each other's arms, sobbing, he could not help but feel a pang of grief himself.He could not understand how a family that had once been perfectly fine had spiraled into this state.Were he and Lucille simply doomed to be incompatible, destined to create this much chaos between them? Would letting go really restore peace to the rest of his family's lives?Gideon sat in his broad executive chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.After a long while, he became increasingly certain that he could not drag this out any longer. He needed to finalize his divorce from Lucille as soon as possible and pull himself free from this relentlessly draining relationship.He could not keep standing by as his family was dragged under again and again, especially Rayne. Even if she truly had done wrong, the price she was paying should not be this steep. It was practically destroying her entire life.Gideon's heart

    "Hey, you coward. That's pretty gutless of you."Watching your friend get worked over like this while you hide over there without making a sound. Tsk, tsk! You know what I hate most? People with no loyalty!"Let's teach her a little lesson about what loyalty on the streets really looks like!"At the yellow-haired woman's command, the red- and green-haired women, along with several others, advanced on Michelle with vicious grins."Strip her clothes off! Grab that rat in the corner and put it right on her chest! She's sleeping with that rat tonight, and she's not allowed to let go! If she does, we beat her!" the yellow-haired woman barked.Without hesitation, the green-haired woman snatched up the little rat they had already tamed and started toward Michelle.Of all the things in the world, filthy vermin like that terrified Michelle the most. As the young women closed in and tore at her clothes, ready to press the rat against her chest, sheer terror overwhelmed her. She screamed ag

    Inside the Coasthaven detention center…The police had locked Michelle and Rayne up with a pack of barely grown street kids, wild young troublemakers fresh out of their teens.In just a few days, these fierce, tattooed, hot-tempered young toughs had tormented the once-untouchable Michelle and Rayne to the point that every day felt worse than death.These reckless kids thrived on stirring up trouble and had cycled in and out of detention more times than they could count. By now, they were seasoned regulars who knew exactly how things worked inside.Whatever tricks Michelle and Rayne had once relied on paled in comparison to what this crowd was capable of. From the moment they arrived, the two had been marked as the easiest targets in the room, fresh meat ripe for the taking.A young woman with bleached yellow hair chewed her gum impatiently as she kicked the metal frame of the bunk. "Hey, you two cowards over there! Go fetch some water so I can soak my feet!"Her two sidekicks, on

    Holding her swaddled daughter, Lucille Sandwell kept her voice steady, though a hint of hope slipped through. "Gideon, today is our daughter's one-month milestone. Can you come pick us up?"On the other end, Gideon Prescott's voice remained even and unreadable. "Something came up. I'll have the driv

    The moment Gideon opened his mouth, Lucille felt her heart drop straight into hell. "Gwen, stop trying to stir things up. Lucy is baby Connor's aunt. We're all family. If she can help, she should. There's extra milk anyway."'Baby Connor. He said the name with such easy intimacy, as if the boy were
