Chapter 26 Darlene Is Tortured

Soon, the prison guards quickly rushed over.

Darlene was out of control. She grabbed Kynlee’s neck and refused to let

1. go.

The prison guards could only use the electric baton to force Darlene to let go and then sternly questioned what had happened.

Kynlee was still in shock. After a while, she handed the photo to the police and explained, “Darlene brought things in without permission. The prison rules state that all the things that are brought in must be strictly examined before they are placed in designated places. I saw that she was secretly hiding this and wanted to show it to the police. As a result, she pinched my

neck like mad.”

Darlene hurriedly took back the photo and retorted with red eyes, “It’s not like that. They hit me and stole my things.”

She was so lonely, helpless, and uneasy, but this was a prison, where the law

was in place. Darlene hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, wanting to prove to the

police that she was injured.

However, the prison guard did not even look at her and asked the others, “What exactly happened?”

The other prisoners accused Darlene, “Just as Kynlee said, Darlene brought

things in without permission, and no one was allowed to look at them. She

pinched Kynlee’s neck and almost strangled her. She was injured all over

when she was imprisoned. Don’t wrong us.”

Darlene shook her head with all her might. “No, it’s not like that. They hurt me. It was just an ordinary photo. I didn’t bring anything that I shouldn’t

have.”

The prison guard said coldly, “So you admit that this photo is yours. You are not allowed to hide anything in prison. Not to mention the photo, even a grain of sand is not allowed. You are not allowed to hurt your cellmates. Take

her away!”

As soon as the prison guard gave the order, a few prison guards immediately dragged Darlene out.

Kynlee shouted, “Sir, you have to seek justice for me. If anything like this happens next time, I will be killed by her. If someone dies, you will have to

bear the consequences!”

The prison guards dragged Darlene out and turned the water cannon on her.

Darlene was splashed with water for a long time. After nearly half an hour,

the wounds on her body began to fester, and Darlene almost fainted.

She was locked into an airtight black room. It was not until dawn that she

was dragged back into the cell by the prison guard.

There was blood in her ears, and she could not tell if it was the blood that

came out of her mouth or her ears.

A group of prisoners surrounded her bedside and gloated, but Darlene felt

that the sound was distant and couldn’t hear them clearly.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she was unconscious again.

After the prison guard targeted Darlene, the prisoners treated her worse and

used all kinds of methods to torture Darlene.

During the next month, Darlene’s ears kept ringing.

When Darlene slept at night, her ears were always buzzing, and she was too

tense to sleep, which made her seriously lack sleep.

She began to slowly feel that one of her ears was deaf.

Darlene began to be afraid of light, afraid of all sudden sounds, and even

afraid of people.

Every night when the prison guards came in to check on the bed, she would

always shrink in the corner of the bed, shivering in fear and unease.

Avery lived a peaceful life for the past month.

Vivian was discharged from the hospital and stayed in Southwood Villa to

recuperate.

Avery went to work during the day. If he was not busy at night, he would

come back earlier to accompany her out for a walk.

Life seemed to be too peaceful. Avery didn’t like noise, but he always felt that

there was something missing in his calm life.

Vivian also noticed that he was not in a good state recently, so she specially

cooked for him and made a few dishes that he liked to eat.

In order to cook something delicious, Vivian even applied for a cooking class

and learned how to cook.

However, Avery was not as satisfied with the dishes as she had expected. He

tried the grilled fish and potatoes and suddenly asked, “Why are there

peppers?”

Vivian saw that Avery frowned. “Don’t you eat peppers?”

Avery looked at the dishes filled with peppers and saw that other dishes were

mixed with lettuce and garlic. For some reason, he thought of the dishes that

Darlene had cooked before.

He thought that if Darlene was the one cooking, she would know that he did

not eat peppers.

He could accept seasonings like ginger and garlic, but they had to be cleaned up in the cooked dishes. He wouldn’t eat the dishes with seasonings.

He liked to drink light soup, but he didn’t like soup without oil. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The oil stains on the surface of the soup had to be cleaned.

He suddenly realized that during the years he married Darlene, he seemed to become picky.

However, Darlene never complained. Avery now realized how many things Darlene had paid attention to when cooking.

Vivian suppressed her disappointment and said, “How about I cook a few more dishes for you?”

Avery realized that he was a bit rude, so he softened his tone and said, “It’s fine. The dishes taste good. I have been too busy for the past two days, and I don’t have a good appetite, so I won’t eat too much. In the future, just leave these matters to the nanny. You should rest more and take care of your

health.”

Vivian was a bit sad. During the past month, Darlene was not in the house. Other than the servants and the housekeeper, only Vivian and Avery were in

Southwood Villa.

Vivian thought that since she had caused Darlene to be imprisoned, Avery would sleep with her when Darlene was not around.

However, Avery came back from the company very late every day. After

accompanying her for dinner, he would go to the study room and go to his own bedroom late at night.

Not only did she fail to fulfill her wish, but she also had even less time to see Avery than when Darlene was around.

Vivian began to worry. Avery and Darlene had known each other for ten years. It couldn’t be that he really fell in love with Darlene, right?

Vivian felt uneasy. She got up and followed Avery upstairs. “Avery, I just bought a new set of pajamas. But I don’t know if it’s suitable for me. Would you like to take a look?”

Avery replied, “I will check it the other day. I have a video conference later.”

Vivian hugged his arm and acted like a spoiled child. “Just take a look. It won’t take long.”

Avery never rejected her. After she said a few more words, he agreed and accompanied her to her bedroom.

Vivian entered the cloakroom and changed into a black slip dress. She deliberately lowered her collar before leaving the cloakroom.

As she approached Avery, she pretended to be shy. “Is it too revealing? I

don’t seem to be used to it.”

As she spoke, Vivian sat down on the sofa next to Avery. She leaned over, and her chest was pressed against Avery’s arm. Vivian showed her figure

intentionally.

Vivian was in good shape, and she had even put on light makeup tonight. Avery could see that most of her back was exposed.

He remembered that day when he sent Darlene to Twilight Paradise, he had

made her wear a long black dress.

It was of the same color and style as the dress Vivian was wearing. Just thinking about that scene made him feel a little hot.

It had just been a month, but Avery suddenly felt that he had not seen Darlene for a long time.

Vivian thought that he was aroused by her sexy look. She leaned closer in his

arms. Few men couldn’t resist the temptation.

Moreover, she believed that Avery must love her, so he wouldn’t be

indifferent.

Vivian gently touched the top two buttons of his black shirt.

Vivian still wanted to lower her hand, but Avery suddenly got up and pushed

her arm away.

As if he didn’t know what she wanted to do, Avery gently said, “The dress is

good. It’s very suitable for you. Vivian, I still have work to do. You should rest

early.”

Vivian looked pale and watched Avery leave. He even helped her close the

door when he went out. If she wasn’t worried that Avery would hear her,

Vivian would definitely smash the things.

She disregarded her status as a noble lady and took the initiative to undo two

of Avery’s buttons, but he actually left.

If she hadn’t personally heard that he once slept with Darlene, Vivian would

have thought that there was something wrong with him.

Vivian deliberately chose a sexy dress and didn’t even wear underwear.

However, Avery was like commenting on a piece of wood, sending her away

perfunctorily.

She was a living woman, not a piece of meat, but Avery was not aroused by

her.

It was late at night, but Vivian was so angry that she could not fall asleep.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she was.

If she did not sleep with Avery, even if Darlene went to jail, Vivian would still

feel uneasy.

She did not change her nightdress and wore perfume. Thinking that Avery should have finished the conference, Vivian went to the study to find him.
