Chapter 341: He’d Be Better Off Dead Than Alive
Chapter 341: He’d Be Better Off Dead Than Alive
Thea Shaw left the hospital room and saw Florence Locke talking to Shirley Moss outside.
Shirley Moss was still crying miserably.
Thea Shaw roughly knew why Florence Locke was sad. The Great General used to have a very good relationship with Florence Locke, and now seeing someone with a face that resembles hers, ending up tragic and miserable, Florence naturally couldn’t bear it.
But there was a realistic problem in front of them.
Florence Locke had offended Ryan Sinclair, and judging by the man’s petty and narrow-minded nature, this feud was certainly established.
Thea Shaw went over to ask Florence Locke how she planned to handle this matter.
Florence Locke returned to her usual noble indifference, "Don’t worry, I won’t be in trouble."
Seeing her so confident, Thea Shaw felt relieved.
She seriously scrutinized Shirley Moss.
Shirley Moss was actually very haggard; obviously, her features were good, but the haggardness was something even makeup couldn’t conceal.
It’s not hard to imagine what hardships she’s endured these past five years.
And perhaps because her body had been hollowed out, her face suggested early death, predicting she wouldn’t live past forty.
Yet another suffering soul.
With such major changes in her family, an ordinary person would have collapsed long ago.
Thea Shaw advised, "Master, you should rest early now. It’s so late, not worth it for a foolish man."
Florence Locke nodded, then sighed and said, "It’s troubling you to run around tonight, Thea. If I’d known Julian Sinclair would come, I wouldn’t have called you."
Thea Shaw pointed to Shirley Moss, "What do you plan to do about her?"
The teacher only saw her similarity to an old acquaintance, but to what extent can it be done?
Shirley Moss’s situation requires her to choose for herself.
Florence Locke responded, "First deal with her legal issues, and then discuss other things."
Shirley Moss knows the truth now, muddled and without much will to survive. Still, Florence Locke persuaded her, that you must see people getting their comeuppance to feel at ease, right?
Indeed, the woman who framed her and sent her to jail is still comfortably staying abroad.
Shirley Moss knew the boundaries, not understanding why Florence Locke helped her, but she was still grateful enough to say, "Thank you."
If no one helped her, she’d likely have the resolve to go down with Ryan Sinclair, not wanting to live anyway.
Thea Shaw remarked emotionally, "At least you want to stab Ryan Sinclair. Just for that, Master and I think you’re still salvageable."
Back when she was in school, Thea Shaw read many stories of torturous love, and at that time, she irrationally found them profound and moving.
Now, she wishes she could enter the book and stab both the protagonist and antagonist together.
Although Shirley Moss had tears in her eyes, she didn’t quite understand Thea Shaw’s words, but hatred surfaced in her eyes: "Of course I hate him. He clearly knew I was innocent and still didn’t tell me the truth! If that’s the case, he’s better off dead!"
Her love for Ryan Sinclair had been worn down in prison.
Thea Shaw: Good!
She wanted to give Shirley Moss a clap.
Florence Locke also expressed relief, resuming her sage-like demeanor, calm as if she hadn’t just lost her temper: "Not bad, but brute force won’t solve the problem. We need to plan from a long-term perspective. I’ll first ask Julian Sinclair for evidence, and then we’ll report to the police. We must believe the law will deliver you justice."
Thea Shaw: "..."
Master, you had just hit two people and behaved rebelliously at the police station, how can you say that?
